Let’s go Yellowjackets! Generic sports chant! These are just some of the things you may hear at one of the several events of SPIRIT WEEK 2004! This weekend our favorite mascot, URBee, takes on the Battling Bear of Washington University in St. Louis, in what promises to be a doozy. Show your school spirit by showing up this Sunday at 10 p.m. in the tunnels of Lattimore Hall. Then, on Monday, eat a smaller lunch than usual so that you have more room for the best that Danforth has to offer. Voting is underway to determine the food served. Show up in UR wear and receive a coupon for Hillside. Then on Tuesday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. come to the porch of Wilson Commons for some free hot chocolate. Have an embarrassing yet hilarious story you want to tell? Can you sing, dance, or juggle? There will be an open mic on Wednesday from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. in the Hive. If you can do anything you deem worthwhile to reproduce in front of others, show it off-shower singers welcome. Sign up in advance, as there will be limited spots available for impromptu performances. Thursday night is dollar movie night, with buses leaving from ITS to the Little Theater at 11 p.m. Popcorn and soda will be provided. Tickets are on sale at the Common Market.

Take it from a rising Take Five: URochester’s dining plans have improved plenty over the past couple of years. But that doesn’t mean they encompass all student needs — whether that be allergen restrictions, finding internationally sourced ingredients, or accommodating general preferences. So, when you eventually get tired of Douglass, Danforth, and the Pit, here’s a list of locally-based grocery stores to try, all within walking or shuttle distance. Read More
