Music for your ears
As a student, the words "quality of life" seem to have little effect. We manage our lives in small, crowded rooms and buildings while working around hectic schedules and tight budgets. Quality of life is something that we should pay more attention to because it makes the time in between classes, meetings and social events […]
UR rugby takes on Div. II competition
Leave it to us Yanks to rename football "soccer" so that we can call a modified version of British rugby "football." Let me add in the same breath that we also, for a time, called sauerkraut "liberty cabbage," and more recently denied fries their "french" and gave them some "freedom" instead. Go figure.Analogies aside, rugby […]

This season it is his kick returning that has made football teams, not only in the Liberty League, but around the country, take notice.His backfield […]
Dormitory life is for the birds
Has anybody noticed that living on a college campus creates an odd equilibrium with nature? The college has become some weird science experiment where man and animal live in harmony together. Squirrels, birds, rabbits and those weird fat hedgehog-like things all run around like they own the campus. Gone are the days when we could […]
Periodical Reading Room is a world of its own
The great novelist Shelby Foote once said, "A university is just a group of buildings gathered around a library." I believe his statement can be verified if you look at many of the finest universities across the country. For example, there is Vassar College's Thompson Library, which has been compared architecturally to the great cathedrals […]
