Fee increase proposed to help pay for parking lot repairs It doesn't take an associate's degree for students to notice the bumps and cracks scattered throughout the parking lots on campus. These nasty potholes and root heaves not only cause a potential hazard for students and their cars, but also could cause a bit of a bump in student fees for next year - along with an anticipated 7 percent heave in tuition.
Imagine swapping those heavy, expensive textbooks you lug to class each day with one lightweight tablet that provides textbook content at a cheaper price. Amazon.com's Kindle and e-books online can provide students with lower prices and less paper, making in e-books a popular choice for students and professors.
It's always been a question as to why the faculty at Pierce are labeled as instructors, versus professor. Most students would probably agree that they automatically refer to their teacher as professor and it may feel forced to remember to refer to them as an instructor.
X marks the spot. Exploring and uncovering is human nature. Christopher Columbus, the Vikings, and Indiana Jones are just a few examples that prove this is true. Why not make it a hobby? Geocaching (pronounced geo-cashing) is a community hobby and a sport.
Computer generated animation films are my guilty pleasure. From "Ice Age" to "Over the Hedge," "Cars" to "Finding Nemo." "Up" has now been added to that list.

'Year One' Jack Black and Michael Cera, what you see is what you get. Black will be like he was in, well pretty much everything. Cera will be like he was in, well pretty much everything. These aren't two of the most versatile actors but that won't hinder their ability to be funny.
After finishing the 2008-09 season with a record of 2-23, the Pierce women's basketball program will have a new head coach for next year. Brian Purugganan will replace Ann Bowen for the 2009-10 season after Bowen finished with a 14-117 record during her five seasons with Pierce.
With winter winds finally fading, spring showers passing, and summer skies rolling in the first question on the minds of most students is, "What should I do with my summer vacation?" Of course, there are many options to choose from. However, going on long trips away from home is still a popular choice for many students.
One of the worst things that can take place during a study session is loud distracting noises. Whether it is the neighbors, a room mate, or a child practicing for a band it can be harmful to study habits. But what if the distraction was an incoming attack alarm, gun fire, or any other battle field noise? Today, that is the case for some Pierce College students.
