Bus Stops: _A dose of Sprinkles and Crumbs_

Long Story Short: For Lady Gaga and others, is a little imitation all that bad?

Lady Gaga has made a name for herself as a trailblazer in pop music "“ wearing a dress made of meat has a way of doing that. But recently she’s found herself in a sticky situation with her latest single, “Born This Way.” Critics contend Gaga is copying Madonna. But reporter Melissa Chiong explains that it’s only recently that we’ve been begun expecting originality from our artists. [4:05]

"Long Story Short: For Lady Gaga and others, is a little imitation all that bad?"

In 1968, Andy Warhol predicted that, "in the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes." The quote spoke knowingly to the ephemeral nature of celebrity in this culture, its fickleness and its shallowness. Read more...

Academic student workers and graduate student researchers represented by the United Auto Workers union recently ended a nearly six-week strike in which they called for better working conditions and equitable wages. The contract stipulates pay increases for all workers – for some, pay increases of up to 80% – as well as anti-harassment policies and increased childcare support. However, the negotiations have struck controversy among some UAW members dissatisfied with the results of the contract. What are your thoughts on this issue?

The mediation resulted in a realistic contract for academic workers at this time. The agreed-upon result generally covered what the strikers were asking for. I have feelings about this that are not described in the options above. The contract is neither good nor bad and/or this issue does not directly affect me as a student.
