Yet for most students, the increase means a bigger loan to take out or another job to work over the summer. Thankfully, Rider understands the current economic state [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Reading the discussions in The Rider News about the recent visit of former Gov. Huckabee prompted my thinking. A major goal of a university is the development of students’ abilities for critical thinking based upon fundamental principles and correct information. Proper logical analysis of a problem or issue is often lengthy, unsuitable for time-limited verbal [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The response to Craig J. Peterson’s on the money letter about our basketball program and our gym proves my point that I have echoed in past letters to the editor that our administration and alumni base accept a mediocre men’s basketball program. All this talk of “the greatest three-year stretch in men’s basketball history” and [...]]]></description>

It is obvious that Craig has not been active as an alum, has not been on campus to see the changes that have been made or followed the fortunes of our men’s basketball team on a night-by-night basis.
