Jackets buzz joyously on "Bringing Yellow Back"
There's no accounting for good music, especially in Rochester. The Yellowjackets, an all-male a cappella group, gave the crowd a run for its money Friday, Feb. 22, in their "Bringing Yellow Back" CD release debut in Strong Auditorium. True to their name, they brought back, without a doubt, their usual showmanship of dynamic vocal sounds […]
Vagina Monologues stimulate in Strong
I walked into the crowded Strong Auditorium last Friday and somehow managed to snag a seat in the fourth row. It was five minutes before the show, the room was packed with both sexes and there was a definite buzz in the air. All of a sudden, without warning, the house lights shut off and […]

Students' Association President and junior Alvin Lomibao led a meeting on Tuesday with student leaders to begin the process of developing a plan for this year's Dandelion Day celebration.

Parking problems
Last fall, the Parking Office stopped booting cars after it was revealed by the Campus Times that it had been ignoring a city of Rochester ordinance that made the practice illegal.

Letter to the Editor: New policy hinders MERT and can hurt students
I feel strongly that the new policy that all intoxicated persons be transported to the hospital mandated by the local governing EMS body (MLREMS) will be detrimental to both the student body and the College.The argument is that alcohol ingestion is a "distracting injury," similar to a compound fracture, and that the patient can not […]
Debating D-Day
