Athlete walks the globe this summer
Some people sprint to get to the finish line, while others power walk to it, which was the case for sophomore Laura Richenderfer all summer long. When many students were enjoying cushy internships or high-paying physical labor, Richenderfer was busy walking toward national and even international acclaim. Her journey started here at UR, where she […]
Horoscopes
Aries (March 21-April 19) - You know that the combination of warm weather, sun and Rochester is too much for your feeble mind to handle. To help this sensory overload, try and numb your senses by going out every single day of the week. Taurus (April 20-May 20) - Feeling the pressure of classes already? […]
London attacks inspire self-reflections
There's a busy square in London where I used to eat my hummus and cucumber sandwiches. It's called Russell Square and is bizarrely idyllic in contrast to what would eventually take place a block away in Tavistock Square on July 7, 2005. An outdoor caf sits near the entrance, a stone's throw away from a […]
English flatmates invoke toilet catastrophes

First, there was the whole Tom Cruise jumping on Oprah's couch escapade and yelling at women who had […]
Summer stories annoy most
This past week, several of my looser acquaintances have confronted me with the ubiquitous beginning-of-fall-semester-question - How was your summer? It is this inquiry to which I will philosophically defer to Socratic dialogue by posing another similar question - why do you people keep asking me how my summer was?I guess my annoyance is partly […]
Focus: Welcome Freshmen
Welcome to Fall 2005. It's one of the best times of the year. The weather is still nice, the leaves are still on the trees, upperclassmen are getting back into their everyday routines and a new batch of students are walking around in groups with lanyards around their necks. Though we recently said goodbye to […]
