always running in and out of the library - textbooks in hand. Education was important to her. Britney said she dreamt of going to Dartmouth University after she graduated. And she aspired to be a surgeon in obstetrics and gynecology. Yanique was a driven student who pushed herself and her friends to do their best and then do more. Her friends would be excited they got a B but she would want them to do better. She strived for the best. Yanique loved her friends. Britney met Yanique the first day she moved in. They weren't roommates but they might as well have been. "We would wear the same things, call each other when the other was thinking about calling the other." Last Halloween they coordinated and dressed Thing 1 and Thing 2 costumes. The last time they were together they spent the night together just chatting and watching TV. On Monday Britney logged onto Facebook and found out her friend died. It was not the best way to find out. The outpour of support even extended as far as the president: of the university.t : -. "I knowvery few words that will allow me to comfort you and all ofYanique's friends' said President Samuel L. StanleyJr. "I can only say in honor of Yanique that I hope that you, and as I will,, will take the time to be a kinder and better person. To honor her and do the kinds'of things she did."EZRA MARGONO / THE STATESMAN

By RAVNEET KAMBOJ Opinion Editor Every generation has a great sound. In the '50s they had swing, the '60s hailed classic rock greats such as The Beatles, Jimni Hendrix, and The Doors. In the '70s, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and other amazing bands captivated millions. In the '80s the greats like Peter Gabriel and Phil collins made amazing music with new technology. In the '90s, the hard sound of Nirvana, Alice In Chains and other grunge bands featured music soaked with pure emotion. As we continue down this path and look at each decade progressively, we reach the new millennia. Here we find that the selection of good music begins to become more and more sparse. Flip on MTV today and there is no more music. VH1, same story.
