Hanging on for dear life
Students watched, transfixed, as the daring climber made his way up the treacherous vines, clinging desperately to the gravelly side of the academic building, tiny fists clenched in determination. Who was this rogue adventurer, so bravely risking life and limb? Where did he come from, and why was this his chosen task? So many questions […]
The ultimate chord of your college concerto
Approaching the end of four years, a reserve of memories swell in my mind as I look back at the time that will hereby be referred to only in the past tense as "college." Not college, per say, but "college," as in my experience of college, unique only to myself and to no one else […]
Congrats class of 2008!
It would be hard to imagine UR sports this year without the members of the class of 2008. The seniors' leadership and experience has been a catalyst for the success of many of the Yellowjacket teams this year.For the men's soccer team, a lot of the credit for its Sweet 16 NCAA tournament appearance goes […]

The amount that I have grown and learned over these past four years is unrivaled at any other juncture in my life. Of course I […]
Parking considers booting again
In an effort to slow the influx of illegal parking on the River Campus, UR Parking and Transportation Services is looking into reinstating its policy of booting illegally parked cars after the fourth unpaid ticket. According to Vice President of Facilities and Services Richard Pifer, the transition would not be made until at least the […]
Learning how to leave your legacy
Throughout my adolescence, I accumulated a distinct picture of the "true" college experience. My cousin, who played football at an Ivy League school, taught me that college girls were "easy and loose for an ear and a masseuse." In Junior high, my best friend's brother, who attended a state school in the south, told me […]
