Take it or leave it

Rotunda Stop...

Ben Brown Third-year College Student Q: What's the best costume you ever had for Halloween? A: Last year I dressed up as a pregnant woman, and people really liked that so I might do that again.

But within days of the ban, Express Car Wash in Seminole Square began experimenting with non-traditional washing methods.

Under One Roof

Like many women living off Grounds at the University, Jessica Karr has a feminine bathroom. A floral shower curtain and matching bath mat decorate the bathtub and floor, perhaps making it easy for the third-year Commerce student to forget she shares this bathroom with her male roommate, Seth Rogers, a fourth-year College student.

Course Offering Distraction

Just when you've run out of good reasons to procrastinate, the University Registrar has stepped in and saved the day. That's right, the Spring 2003 Course Offering Directory is up and ready for hours of agonizing perusal. Fourth-year Commerce student Athena Ng said she's already taken a look.
