The perfect road trip: an essential adventure
Road trips are a quintessential element of an adolescent's life. They provide a fun and exciting break from monotonous day-to-day living. Constructing the perfect road trip takes practice, though, and it's likely not something you'll hit on the first try. We've all had those lousy trips where we've run out of gas on some lonely […]
Point: A futile endeavor
While I do applaud the goals of the new Collegiate Readership Program, I think that it is a bad idea.I believe that the program automatically assumes that most Rochester students do not read the news and are not aware of current events. That is not true at all because I know plenty of people who […]
"Begin to Hope" with musician Regina Spektor
With a strange beauty to her lyrical expressions and a voice that mimics percussive instruments, Regina Spektor is certainly a refreshing sound to emerge from the music scene.

Carrie Mae Weems reflects on art and Eden
"I'm actually incredibly lazy," Carrie Mae Weems said to her audience in the over-crowded Gowen room on Monday night.

Men's basketball splits two on road
The men's basketball team traveled to New York City and Boston last weekend for a pair of University Athletic Association games against New York University and Brandeis University. On Friday night, the Yellowjackets defeated NYU, 58-53, avenging their overtime loss in the Palestra one month earlier. The trip to Brandeis, however, was not so kind […]

The 'Jackets (18-4) lost at New York University on Friday night, 77-54, and then suffered their second loss at Brandeis University on Sunday afternoon, 65-49.

From the Pressbox
Finally football is over, which means I can take the pins out of my Peyton Manning doll and start sticking them in my Derek Jeter one. Yes, baseball is coming back, or is actually in thaw mode right now. The important thing is that my favorite pastime is slowly coming back to the center stage. […]
