Anthropology concentration eliminated

As the college continues to review academic programs, the Board of Trustees decided to phase out the anthropology concentration. Classes, however, will still be offered, even though the concentration will be eliminated.
The trustees’ decision means that tenured professor Dr. Clare Boulanger must exit her post at Mesa State. Remaining classes will be taught by professor Dr. Barry Michrina. Boulanger will leave in May 2011.

Opinion : Selfishness: Cause of bad behavior Reflecting on societies reflection

Here is a statistic for you math wizes out there. The population in 1960 was somewhere around 180 million and now it is about 304 million. In 1960 there were also 3.4 million violent crimes in America, and this year there has been 11.1 million violent crimes. Now I didn’t want to say there are 7.8 million more violent crimes in the U.S. because you would say, “Well the population has also grown so who cares.”

Sports : Football loses to Kearney in finale

Despite a big second half outburst Saturday against nationally eighth ranked Nebraska-Kearney, the Mesa State football team (5-6, 5-4 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference) fell to the Lopers 30-21 in the team’s finale. After trailing 17-0 at the half, sophomore quarterback Robert Felberg led the Mavs to fourteen unanswered points to cut the lead down to three. After exchanging touchdowns, the Mavericks’ defense needed a stop on defense to get the ball back with plenty of time left and only down a field goal.
