Women's track wins UR Invitational
The women's indoor track and field team wasted little time getting back in stride after more than a month-long break, winning Sunday's UR Invitational. The victory didn't come easy, however, as Roberts Wesleyan proved to be very difficult competition. "It's always difficult after you've had a long break.

Call it heresy, call it sacrilege, call it whatever the deuce you want. I call it an epiphany of sorts. Let me explain. The other day I returned to Sigma Chi to find our president leafing through a rainbow of 'package' slips -- our monthly shipment of cleaning supplies. Having just driven my Jeep carefully […]

Assault site astray
For victims of sexual assault or rape, finding information about help the campus offers is critical, but unfortunately too hard. The 5-RAPE stickers on bathroom stall doors advertise a hotline, but little else. It is not even clear who the phone number reaches.
