Women's dominating performance earns them title
The women's track and field team, entering into the competition with a great head start, continued its reign of excellence at the New York State Collegiate Track Conference Championships over the weekend when it took the championship for only the second time in school history. Though the only top-place finish came from junior Jamie Landry […]

The UR women's basketball team came out strong this past Saturday, snatching a 55-49 win over the Carnegie Mellon University Tartans at CMU's Skibo Gymnasium.

March Madness Preview 2008
In our third year of previewing the March Madness tournament, the staff ran into a bit of a problem. Selection Sunday is still two weeks away, and yet we don't print another issue before then. So we decided to make our predictions ahead of time, way ahead of time. So pardon me if this year […]
Life, Love… Sport
Well hola ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another Life, Love... Sport (Damn Disease Edition). Once again I seem to have gotten sick. This time it's laryngitis and apparently I'm not allowed to talk. But those who know me know that's not gonna stop me. In this week's column, baseball will be featured, as well […]
Letter to the Editor: CAB makes right decision in face of opposition
As past Executive Board members of the Campus Activities Board, we commend CAB for making the difficult decision to drop Dandelion Day programming. Given the concerns over safety and the obstacles CAB faced running the event, this is a responsible, but surely unpopular, decision.The original idea for D-Day was to provide students with an opportunity […]
Letter to the Editor: Marriage should be defined within U.S. borders
Alyssa Waddill missed the point in her column and celebrates what is, in fact, a real coup. Like in Roe v. Wade, as even several liberals argue, the Supreme Court preposterously stole a fundamental right from the people, and County Executive Maggie Brooks correctly points out that nobody should allow Canada to define marriage here.As […]
Making the small changes
This past New Year's Eve, I had little trouble deciding what my resolution would be. Of course, the classic promises to go to the gym more often or to stop procrastinating entered my mind, but I discarded those ideas quickly when I remembered my first semester at UR. If you ask freshmen what the one […]
Debating D-Day
With the all-too-sudden news that Campus Activities Board has decided not to sponsor Dandelion Day, students need to rise to action, both as individuals and as members of student groups, to ensure that D-Day is celebrated this year.CAB's reasoning was well-founded and they are right that the tradition has broken from its roots. D-Day has […]
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 […]
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. Since then, parking enforcement officers have resorted to aggressive ticketing in an attempt to control those who continue to abuse the parking system. However, […]
