For nearly a decade, The Oculus interdisciplinary research journal has been staffed and contributed to entirely by undergraduate University students.
I am hardly the poster girl for caffeine. Until this semester, I never liked coffee or tea, so - during the few occasions when I really needed that extra jolt - I just drank a soda.
Freezing temperatures, fresh classes and formal sorority recruitment marked the beginning of the spring semester for 794 first-year girls at the University. Within the week, many girls became members of Greek sisterhoods that will mark their social lives, and T-shirt collections, for the next four years. But what about the rushees who did not join a sorority? "While we hope that every woman who participates in Recruitment will find her ideal match, and we believe she is very likely to given the depth and breadth of our community, it ultimately is a personal decision as to whether or not a woman decides to join a chapter," said Chelsey Iaquinto, the Inter-Sorority Council's vice president for recruitment, in an e-mail. Although Iaquinto explained that it was uncommon for girls to withdraw from rush, many students do not go through with it or do not complete the process every year.
OK, Don Juan. So you've just finished up a marathon of bringing the fire and showing your lady that she's the flyest bird in the air on one of the most important and tell-tale holidays of the year.
What kind of a love columnist would I be if I didn't acknowledge Valentine's Day? Yesterday, my group of friends seemed to fall into two camps: cynical or overly expectant. In every group, one friend is disillusioned and embittered, making everyone else feel silly for celebrating love.
Valentine's Day is supposed to be all about love, but when one stops and considers how many other emotions Feb.
With the suffering economy, University students may find it difficult to come by work. In many cases, even when a college student manages to get hired, hours are limited and wages low.
Uncovering a financial bubble before it pops is a difficult task. Alan Greenspan, former chairman of the Federal Reserve, remarked that predicting a bubble cannot be done – only in retrospect are the causes and effects clear.
"How many of you have made or looked at your own personal balance sheet?" Prof. Broome asked. The class giggled.
The apocalyptic snow that led to class cancellations and crowded bars in the early afternoon may have surprised many residents in Charlottesville, but something else may have been just as shocking this weekend.
"Love is bound to power as it is bound to justice," said Regina Schwartz, Northwestern University English professor and doctoral graduate from the University. During this first lecture of the Love and Justice lecture series, which was held Feb.
"June Bug," our rented Toyota Spark, took us everywhere we wanted to go. We started out in Constantia - one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in Cape Town, South Africa - and drove out of the city into the wilderness of Stellenbosch wine country.
I have been here for almost a month now, and after 26 days in one place, you would think I would know my way around. I had to be at the Abbey Theatre at 7:30 p.m.
When you venture out into the world and study abroad, you are bound to experience a few introspective revelations, such as, "These people talk funny" or, "What's the metric system?" One such epiphany I've had is that Spain and America are the same but different. Don't get me wrong; Spain is one bodacious place.
During my time in London so far, I have noticed a higher degree of sensationalism than I am used to in print media - from advertisements and PSA posters at bus stops to the most popular newspapers in the country.
Fraternity members may suffer from a stigma that they serve run-of-the-mill beer, but Armand Cognetta, a fourth-year College student and Sigma Nu fraternity brother, may challenge that stereotype. As a matter of fact, this chemistry and biostatistics major brews his own beer on his front porch. "I've been brewing since I was 18," Cognetta said.
This title may seem a tad bizarre, even silly, but it is how I describe myself. Ridiculous as this extended metaphor is, it nevertheless assisted me with my acceptance to the University. I am a 5-foot-1-and-a-half, Italian girl, who is incredibly proud of her heritage and is a family-oriented fanatic.
All the Christmas trees have been taken down and the last of the New Year's confetti has been swept away.
