Ramblers celebrate 10 years with stellar show
I am by no means a newcomer to the Midnight Ramblers' fan base. Ever since Freshman Orientation, I've loved the group's ability to capture its audience with each performance and entertain in a way that far surpasses simply singing.I have become accustomed to the Ramblers' concerts, where energizing pieces are contrasted with sweet ballads and […]
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 […]
D-Day is tested
According to Medical Emergency Response Team's "D-Day Impact Report," released last week by Director of Operations of River Campus MERT and junior Laura Bailer, there were less calls to MERT during this year's Dandelion Day on Saturday, April 26, than in either of the previous two years. There were 12 total calls between 10:05 p.m. […]

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.

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 […]

In psychology class, I learned that the fastest period of growth in life happens when we are first born. Well, the person who said that obviously didn't study college students. 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 […]
College is only another step in determining a purpose
I'm not really sure why I chose to apply or attend UR. My reasons at the time were lame and flimsy, and I had absolutely no idea what I wanted to do with my life. I asked the Admissions Office a few questions, but they weren't very truthful; then again, I probably asked the wrong […]
The certainty seen in sports is not fungible to college
In this day and age, overstimulated by the wealth of information at our disposal, we tend to rely heavily on predictions. With the NFL draft but a few weeks ago and primary season still continuing (well, at least for one party), armchair sports writers and pundits lay down their selections as to who will get […]
College life failed to live up to all the adults' hype
What is it about these four years that should make us want to cry when it's over? That our friends won't be living next door? That we'll have to actually earn a living to buy food? That we can no longer sleep until noon on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays? That we have to worry about […]
