Book spurs analysis of the economics of drinking
Over the summer, my reading list consisted of about 10 books. By the time I returned to school, I had finished three of them, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" counting twice. The other book I read was "More Sex is Safer Sex," by UR's very own Professor Steven Landsburg. The book is focused on […]
Food for Thought
With the plethora of student eateries spanning the campus, the daily decision on where to consume the almighty food and drink is a challenging task. Freshmen, by default, have no idea how to tell good grub from bad, and even upperclassmen are thrown off by the menu overhauls made annually to their favorite diners (though […]
Urban Fellows offer new perspective
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to go on a ride-along with a police officer in the city of Rochester? Have you ever wondered what life is like for people who live across the footbridge? This summer, through the Urban Fellows program, I was able to experience working in the 19th Ward, […]
Former caddy upset over summer jobs
Who hates summer jobs? This guy! In fact, I hate them so much, I got a job that only required two days of work a week, and it still didn't make a damn bit of difference - I still hate working when the temperature is above 70 degrees. Let me relate to you my descent […]
Examining the lighter side of bird excrement
It is clear in these modern days that almost everything is designed to stretch societies and cultures apart.

The recognition […]

Life, Love… Sport
It's good to be back, gang. Welcome to yet another edition of Life, Love... Sport (Back in Black Edition). Tons to discuss and very little space to do it in. Ye loyal readers might be wondering what exactly the LLS thinks of the Michael Vick conundrum. Or perhaps you were wondering why the Red Sox […]
Volleyball team starts season with 7-2 record
The UR volleyball team is 7-2, having won five straight games, including the defeat of SUNY Potsdam to secure the Potsdam Tournament title. Before the Potsdam Tournament, the Yellowjackets played in the Cortland Red Dragon Invitational, splitting the four games by beating Montclair State University 3-0, with sophomore Dana Hilfinger leading the team with nine […]
Golf starts off fall season slowly
The golf team got off to a weak start this past weekend at the St. Lawrence University Men's Invitational tournament. Their first round performance of 320 strokes put them at ninth out of a field of 13. Former UR golf star Dan Wesley was recently named the new head coach of the team after the […]
Cross country teams take first meet
As a stream of blue crossed the finish line, the men's cross country team took command in their first meet of the season. All seven of the Yellowjackets' runners placed in the top 11, and the scorers - the top five runners - all placed in the top eight, giving UR a score of 29 […]
