Stares entice great sex
There comes a time in every girl's life, or at least, in the TV movie version of every woman's life, when her mom and dad sit her down and tell her the "facts of life" - the primary fact of life - being that babies aren't deposited by birds. Because of my parents' emphasis on […]
Lottery troubles
Friday night, I made two mistakes. Since I'm the backup goalie for the UR Men's Ice Hockey team, I assumed I wasn't going to play, so I ate a McDonald's double cheeseburger, dollar menu fries and a dollar menu Coke less than an hour before the game. After wolfing down my meal in the parking […]
Mt. Hope delivers nice surprise
"Thai Taste," in terms of names for ethnic restaurants, is on the same field as "New No. 1" Chinese restaurant. Additionally, Thai Taste's location in the Mt. Hope Plaza, surrounded by a laundromat and Curves, is not the place you'd expect to find good food. When you enter the restaurant, there are multi-colored Christmas lights […]

Funding political movements
During the past several years, the Students' Association government has undergone massive and long-term changes. With the ratification of the new Constitution, the final structural changes will have taken place, and the SA can move forward in a stable and efficient manner. However, I also believe that the SA must deal with some of the […]

Six of the eight elected members are back in action for the second semester and are busy planning and sponsoring some fantastic activities that will not only get students out and about in Rochester, but will help beat the winter blues.

Business Times
Anybody seen my baby? Oh, I'm sorry, wrong column. I was hoping that someone would help me find the value of my dollar. I suppose I should look south. Ever since the United States and other industrialized nations went off the gold standard decades ago, their currencies have been traded against each other in the […]

CBDNA alternates regional and national conventions every year. This year, regional […]
John Graham utilizes electronic media in recital
Violist and Eastman School of Music Professor John Graham gave an astounding recital of contemporary music on Jan. 25. The music, Graham said, was something of a personal collection - five of the six works performed were written for and premiered by Graham, previously. He decided to revisit these works for his audience because he […]
