Shrinking culture questioned
You need to gain about 10, maybe 15 pounds. You'll be a lot healthier and look better. Your self-esteem will get a boost, not to mention, ahem, your sex life. It's an all-around good deal, obtainable with a few hours in the gym each week. Don't worry, I'm scratching my head right along with you. […]
Empty rolls lead to empty souls
These past weeks I have found myself in an emotional crisis. My grades have been slipping and, though I am generally not the political type, I am growing increasingly worried about the upcoming election, seeing no viable candidate to get behind. I would like to believe these troubles are the result of a poor work […]
Food makes Boulder a rocky experience
I'm a pretty big fan of coffee - any caffeine really, but coffee easily surpasses soda and battery-acid-flavored energy drinks as my drink of choice. And after nearly four years of Java City and waiting in a never-ending line for a mediocre cup of Starbucks, I've become sick of campus options. So discovering Boulder Coffee […]
Career fair a benefit to students of all majors
Last Wednesday, from 1 to 4 p.m., the Career Center hosted the Fall Career and Internship Day in the May Room of Wilson Commons. As a sophomore without a declared major, but who is interested in psychology and Spanish, I wasn't sure how beneficial the event would be for me, but I figured I'd see […]

Assistant Professor of American Studies and Religious Studies at Indiana University in Bloomington, Ind. Kathryn Lofton dissected Winfrey's philanthropic empire during her lecture yesterday entitled "Missionary Envy: Oprah Winfrey and the Exported Makeover." Lofton regards […]
New mascot voted in
Over 2,700 students, faculty and staff voted online to decide the University's new mascot earlier this month. The issue was introduced to the public in a Town Hall Meeting held by the Communications Staff last month, at which students narrowed the possible Yellowjackets down to nine over three rounds of elimination. The voting then went […]
Campus Brief: URMC students help Monroe H.S. seniors
Rochester City Schools are making an effort to aid Monroe High School seniors in applying and getting accepted to college. The UR Medical Center has volunteered by creating a project called "Ready, Set, Go to College." There were a series of one-on-one meetings at URMC between 93 second-year medical students and 100 MHS seniors last […]
TV is going down the tube
"Viva Laughlin" was canned by CBS after two episodes. You didn't hear about it? Not to worry, most people never saw it. After all, if you're gonna make a show that competes against Sunday Night Football, why not make it a song and dance drama about a casino? Sounds like a sure winner to me. […]
A little respect
At Wednesday's Town Hall Meeting with Dining Services, one of the more surprising complaints brought up by students had to do with the rapport between students and dining service workers. While students spoke of bad attitudes and rudeness, both students and staff together make up the University community, and respect is a two-way street. That […]
