It was the first week of first year, classes hadn't started yet, the sun was shining -- so what was I doing?
'Vaginal Wonder' "I bet you're worried. I was worried. That's why I began this piece. I was worried about vaginas." And thus, Eve Ensler begins her infamous "Vagina Monologues". According to the Random House Web site, in 1998, Ensler first published her controversial work, and today the set of monologues has come to symbolize much more than just the stark contrast between comedic and dramatic looks at women and their vaginas. The monologues, which have been translated into 24 languages, are now performed across the globe on or around V-Day, Feb.
If you walked down the Lawn toward Cabell Hall yesterday, you may have been perplexed to see a seemingly misplaced toy -- one shaped as a penis wearing a condom.
It is almost March of our fourth year. It is a hectic time, and one element that continues to add to this anxious stage in our lives is the fact that come May 16, 2004, we, as fourth years, will be on our own. While some of us have secured jobs, others of us have not.
It's the end of an era -- a sad time. Some of us have never experienced significant loss in our young lives.
The season is fast approaching when most high school seniors face that daunting decision: where to go to college? The Office of Admission aims to draw in accepted students with its annual program, Days on the Lawn. By attending Days on the Lawn, prospective students get a taste of daily life at the University and may be able to make more informed decisions. Information sessions will be held today at 7 p.m.
For many students, this past week was one of anxiety and sleepless nights. And midterms weren't so great either. But the real source of stress for the members of the East Coast Asian American Student Union executive board was the anticipation of two years of hard work coming to fruition this weekend when the annual ECAASU conference will take place at the University from Feb.
New Orleans. The Land of Love and Beer. Easily one of the best places in the world. A place where the beer flows like wine, where the women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano.
Living in a culture that is often image-conscious can make healthy eating habits and an appreciation of one's own body difficult to attain. To combat this problem, the Hoos Open to Preventing Eating disorders has teamed up with the Center for Counseling and Psychological Services to host an event titled "Exploring your Relationships to Food, Exercise and Self-Esteem," in Dabney's Residence Life Conference Room from 4 to 5 p.m.
The McIntire School of Business carries with it prestige and an aura of excellence not uncommon to that carried by the University as a whole.
What is your educational background? Well, I went to college at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire and majored in anthropology there.
Whether spending Spring Break in Botswana or interested in public health issues, all University students are invited to attend a lecture this evening hosted by the Bioethics Society.
It's the warning from family and friends before departure for college. It's the endless chit-chat in the bathrooms as teeth are being brushed.
So what? You can make it two more weeks. Can't you? Well, unfortunately, I don't think I can. I just feel that mask of sanity slipping off the edge of my face -- the monster is going to break out and the villagers will flee to the hills in a massive horde, screaming. Spring Break is approaching fast, but not fast enough, damnit.
Close your eyes and think about your daily schedule for a minute. You scrape yourself off the bed, maybe take some Advil to get over your unnecessary hangover from a Wednesday Margarita night.
TV is killing my social life. Gone are the Wednesday nights crowded around a table of friends and $2 margaritas. That same group is now huddled around a television set, watching the latest episode of the O.C. Trying to get together a group of classmates to go out after "Friends?" Forget it -- "The Apprentice" is on. Factor in episodes of "American Idol," "Survivor," "Real World," and "Newlyweds," and the week is over. If I'm reduced to drinking alone, it's not my fault. Reality TV is breeding a new generation of alcoholics. Maybe I completely missed the memo on this one, but when did reality TV replace ... well, reality? I don't know about you, but my reality has never been quite like the shows on TV. I've never lived in Paris under the watchful eye of MTV's camera.
ACROSS 1. Hoard 6. Cut, with a knife 10. Dorm room staple video game 14. Conical dwelling 15.
From politics to dancing to pyrotechnics, the Drama department's production of Lorraine Hansberry's "Les Blancs" has a little bit of everything.
We'd both been very good this week. Our schedules showed religious outings to the gym -- you know, the kind that seem to show up on everyone's calendars the weeks before Spring Break.
