America loves the rebel aesthetic
If Che Guevara was born 50 years later and got any percentage of t-shirt sales, he probably wouldn't have been executed in Bolivia. Instead, he probably would have been chilling out at L.A. clubs, starring in a sitcom on NBC that failed three episodes later, having a random fling with Reese Witherspoon, later being pulled […]
Not so kosher: Bat Mitzvah gets crashed
Nearly a full decade after my Bar Mitzvah prime, I stood in front of the revolving doors of the Hyatt, contemplating whether or not to crash a random Bat Mitzvah. But fate intervened. Behind me, a chartered bus pulled up to the front entrance of the hotel. As the bus doors slid open, a hoard […]
Campus housing has room for improvement
Southside has a bad reputation. Students who live there are constantly forced to defend it - "It's not that far away," they say, or "I love having a bathtub," they claim. "A full-size fridge is better than a half-size fridge," they surmise. And they persistently ask, "What's so bad about Southside?"In a word? Everything. Southside […]
Good food, good meat, good God, we're crazy!
Like a regular visitation from a dear relative, that same Adam Sandler turkey song comes drifting through the radio, and I am surprised that another year has passed - that another wave of rolls and cranberry sauce is on its way and, with it, those ancient Thanksgiving traditions. My family isn't much for tradition from […]

Letter to the Editor: Campus doc rejects 'animal house'
Leah Kraus proposed the establishment of on-campus housing in which a variety of pets, including dogs and cats, could be kept by students (Nov. 1). While humans have domesticated various species to live with as companion animals, there are both benefits and risks associated with this arrangement. We need to think carefully about whether, on […]
Mental health programs could use more support
All University students are given 10 free sessions a year at the University Counseling Center, which I believe is a well-intentioned gift, but an insufficient one. There are two realities we must face here. One is that, while a good start, 10 sessions of therapy, for anyone, with any problem, is about enough to get […]
Females should be able to 'just say no' to others
Recently, Women's Caucus held a consciousness-raising meeting, where a group of women gathered to share their gripes about sexist experiences they had undergone at work, in the classroom or in any other aspect of their lives.
