Blockhead economics
Spring break brought something rather startling to my attention. We freshmen are required to get a block based meal plan from dining services. Blocks that aren't spent simply disappear.

Major solutions
Two of the main complaints against this year's incarnation of freshman housing are that it has created two years of de facto segregated housing and that as a result of their isolation freshmen and sophomores aren't recieving valuable information from upperclassmen.Yesterday's "Major Madness" program went a long way to remedy some of these problems.

Uncommitted
Busing students to the NCAA Div. III Final Four was a step in the right direction, but poor turnout at the event showed that school spirit is still a problem on this campus. Those individuals who braved the nine-hour bus ride, including the brothers of Theta Delta Chi and the women's basketball team, deserve credit […]

From the pressbox
The best thing about my spring break trip to Florida was the chance see how some baseball players are progressing towards the season's start.However, even at the games, baseball wasn't the only thing going on. Several things caught my attention throughout the week.The first thing happened before I even left Rochester.After I went through the […]
Experianced, young team looks to repeat as UCAA champions
Records don't always tell the entire story. Just look at last year's women's softball team who started out the season at 1-11. But, through the losing streak, the young team started to gel and finished the year by winning seven out of 10 games and concluded their streaky season by winning both games of a […]
