First off, let me give a huge shout out to the guy at the Clemson game who held up the "ESPN 8: The Ocho" sign.

The screen is blank. Ali and Dan are in my room. I'm on Alex's computer because mine has a virus and ITC hasn't responded to my e-mails. Our apartment smells like a dead squirrel.

At Jefferson Hall on Friday night a debate was held between representatives of the Republican and Democratic parties before the Jefferson Society. Sam Garrison, second year Education student, spoke in behalf of the Nixon-Lodge ticket, and Mike Cody, third year Law student, spoke for Kennedy and Johnson.

University students can find Stephanie Goodell teaching leadership skills in various capacities around Grounds, but over the summer, she was on the other side of the Atlantic, teaching leadership to a very different type of student.
Alright, let's see if I can make it one week without invoking Back to the Future or facebook. That first sentence doesn't count... "Do you want to go to lil jon's?" "Whaaaat?" "Do you want to go to lil jon's?" "Whaaaat?" "Do you want to go to lil jon's?" "Whaaaat?" "Do you want to go to lil jon's?"
