October has never been my favorite month, and apart from Hal- loween and Oktoberfest, I can’t think of anything related to this month that has brought a smile to my face. Autumn is a time where most of the leaves begin to fall, temperatures begin to drop, and rain starts to pour. Is October my least favorite month? No. Historically, it's a very important month. The roar of independence may not be heard, the light of freedom may not shine, or the might of a new world may not be conquered. However, the events that did happen this month have sig- nificance in our history, and shaped the world as we know it. "It's not just a good idea, it ought to be the law." says Kurt Griffith, on the issue of net neutrality.Photo by Daily Tech October 1, 1908 Ford Model T, the world’s first mass production car went on sale.

Job Placement Resource Center Events: 11

By Nicholas Sadowski » Sports Editor A new season is here. With the excitement and competitiveness of NHL 2014-2015 PREVIEW last season, one might think it could not get any better. Think again. The Central division seems to be even more competitive this year. Five of the seven teams from that division made it to the playoffs last year. Last season brought us a new realignment for both conferences and the playoffs. New divisions brought new rivalries and destroyed old ones. The Kings demonstrated that they are royalty by winning their second Stanley Cup. This sea- son may turn out to be more com- pelling than the last. 2014 NHL Stadium Series with the Blackhawks vs. Penguins, at Soldier Field. Photo by Wikimedia Commons The Western Conference is look- ing to dethrone the Kings while they try to become the first team to win back-to-back Cups in the salary cap era. The one team that wants the pleasure of taking them down more than anyone else is the Blackhawks. They had their repeating Cup chance stolen from them by the Kings in the conference final last year. The year before last, the Black- hawks stole the Kings chances of repeating. Both teams are poised at Stanley Cup runs for what could be the next ten years. The Blackhawks signed Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane to eight year deals in the off- season. The Kings also had most of their stars locked up for the same amount of time. The playoffs for the next couple of years might continue to look the same, unless some teams decide to crash the party. The Penguins, Bru- ins, Red Wings, and Canadians are all teams that will battle for years to come. New teams like the Columbus Blue Jackets and New York Islanders will move onto the scene in a big way, while old faces will bow out. This season is going to be a fight to the death. In the end, the Black- hawks could add another Stanley Cup to their name, but will have to play against some surprising oppo- nents.
