The biodiesel bus, unveiled after months of
collaboration between students, UR Facilities
and UR Dining, was celebrated in a ceremony
yesterday in the Goergen Hall Atrium. The
project was spearheaded by four students —
alumnus Chris Babcock, seniors Dave Borrelli
and Dan Fink and junior Eric Weissmann. With
its completion, the bus will run on the Park
Lot South Silver route and the 19th Ward Gold
route. Next semester, the bus may start running
on the Green line.
ArtAwake was organized mainly by 20 students and was co-sponsored by over 20 organizations. While only in its second year, it is sure to be a rising success, as more than last year’s 1,500 attendees came out for the evening.
After the first round of 18 of last weekend’s Fred B. Kravetz Invitational, freshman Michael Chudacoff sat atop the leader board for the first time in his college career.
Last week, due to the hard work of senior Katie Medford, Stem Cell Awareness Week put into action a string of fundraising and awareness events on the River Campus — overall, it raised approximately $10,000 for the development of stem cell research.
As we do after every season, the UR men’s squash team had a season ending dinner and banquet last week. This was actually my first one ever as I couldn’t attend last year’s banquet due to a tournament.
Experts, doctors and professors took turns engaging a diverse audience in a two-day roundtable discussion about nonviolent communication. The Interfaith Chapel hosted the conference — the second-annual event sponsored by the Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence — on Friday evening and all day Saturday.
Last spring, I was given an assignment — write about an aspect of life on campus that has impacted you the most. The task was not exactly easy: quantifying my experience atUR as the result of mostly one part of life wouldn’t really be accurate.
While I certainly do not suggest returning to a time when “everyone went to church because it was the thing to do,” I would go as far as to say this: Consider Christianity if you like, but please, don’t leave your rational mind at the door.
Recently, I had the not-so-pleasurable experience of sitting in on a campus judicial hearing. For those who are unaware, some student misconduct proceedings are handled outside of the Dean of Students Office and are instead managed by a panel comprised of various campus faculty members.
Sal’s Birdland has been a staple restaurant in the Rochester area since its establishment in 1974, known for its chicken wings and ribs, usually coated in “Sal’s Sassy Sauce.”
Procedural shows are a staple of network television. There are the doctor shows like “Grey’s Anatomy” and “House,” and there are the crime shows like “NCIS” or “CSI.” On the surface, USA’s “In Plain Sight” may appear to be just this. But with many skeletons in the closets of these characters, David Maples’s show offers much more.
"The Hairy Dvtchman" opens today, and I would encourage everyone to go and see the show at least once. It really displays the talent of the student actors, tech crew and everyone else backstage. It’s definitely worth going to, especially since it’s the world premiere of such a great show.
This past weekend was a tale of two days for the UR baseball team. After getting back on track in Liberty League play by beating Clarkson University twice on Saturday, the team was shut out in both games on Sunday.
The UR softball team took the Liberty League by storm this past weekend, sweeping Skidmore College and Union College in its first four Liberty League games.
