Shameless barechested screaming

By AJ Aronstein | September 28, 2004

It's not "good riddance," per se. Perhaps it's just time to move on. I looked out across the Sea of Orange on Saturday as our 12th ranked Cavs -- in what I think was the single biggest play this season thus far -- stopped the Orange on the four-yard line to maintain their 14-point lead. And I was glad I was wearing my tie. On my head. In a school of secret societies, popped collars and pink pants, where tradition is sacred and "change" is a dirty word, the orange glow of Scott Stadium this season is a welcome sight.

Say cheese!

By Hannah Woolf | September 23, 2004

The digital camera market has thrived over the past few years, turning a novelty item into a commonly-owned commodity. Many students have embraced the new technology, while others prefer to stick with traditional film cameras. So, which is better? First-year Engineering student Ryan Gilbert said he is strictly digital, primarily because he likes the ability a digital camera gives him to manipulate his photographs. Using the computer, "I can touch up the photo, change the colors, change brightness and saturation all myself, and then I can take it to a professional printer," Gilbert said.

State of Mind

By Teresa Wood | September 17, 2004
