The 'Jackets scored 26 runs in 10 innings during a sweep of a doubleheader against Skidmore College in their first Liberty League match-up of the season.

Life, Love… Sport
Greetings and salutations! It's another edition of Life, Love... Sport (I can't believe it's over Edition). This is the last column of the semester. It's a sad event, but please, try not to cry.

Midnight Ramblers' dazzling concert wins golden ticket
On Saturday, April 14, the Midnight Ramblers held their senior show creatively entitled "Midnight Ramblers and the Chocolate Factory." Their performance, alternating with hilarious video clips, parodied the classic "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" as its theme. An extremely ingenious publicity stunt, they hid 10 golden tickets around the UR campus to ignite hype […]

It's not, apparently, all-pink tutus and "Swan Lake," as the first number immediately proved. […]
Don't blame fairy tales for your emotional issues
I don't like to repeat myself. I also don't like to repeat others. Luckily for you, it's the written word, so you can read it as many times as you want. Which is good, dear reader, because I'm not interested in saying anything twice. (In the words of Mitch Hedberg, we call this introduction "attitude.")So […]
Letters to the Editor
Although I am neither a fan of the University's frequently sub-par policies, nor of the City of Rochester itself, I found Karissa Page's attack on the University's campaign encouraging students to live off campus to be grossly inaccurate and unfair. Her objections seem to reflect much more her own poor decision making and priorities than […]
