Facing Off with Family

By Sarah Bouchard | September 27, 2001

Siblings: You can't live with them and you can't live without them. Your rivalry with that pesty brother or sister began at toddler age when you bickered over toys and may even persist today at college, decades later. And this rivalry might even be compounded if you and your brother are the same age and also attend the same college. But some siblings here at the University have overcome this contention by competing together on some of the most intense collegiate sports teams in the country. Cross country and track team members Justin and Brian Wood never even considered going to different schools.

Land of the Free

By Alexandra Valint | September 26, 2001

Never before has the American flag seemed so ubiquitous. Before Sept. 11, even the one-day revelry of firework displays and backyard barbecues typical of Fourth of July celebrations did not exhibit such patriotic flourish. But now, flags hang proudly on the outside of nearly every building, cars parade past, antennas adorned with miniature flags, and traditional patriotic choral songs like "God Bless America" blare from your roommate's computer. "I'm not usually patriotic," admits third-year College student Heather Calkin, but the tragedy of the terrorist attacks inspired her and her Lambeth roommate, third-year College student Nikki Rohrbaugh, to make a late-night expedition to CVS to procure a pack of construction paper.

Note Worthy

By Julie Hofler | September 21, 2001

As the cool nighttime breeze filters through your dorm room window, you can faintly hear it. One voice begins and slowly turns into a harmonic blend of a cappella pitches as more voices join in, filling the late summer air. You immediately abandon your studies and rush outside with your friends to join the crowd outside your dorm.

A brotherhood united As members of New York City's police and fire departments continue to work around the clock at ground zero in the dauntless search for survivors, one University group has stepped in, hoping to aid in the disaster relief. Beginning yesterday at noon, the brothers of Delta Upsilon fraternity began hosting a drive for food, clothing and supplies to support the rescue effort in response to the recent tragedy in New York City and to aid those left homeless by the disaster. "We have a lot of guys from New York in our house and a lot of people were intimately affected by the events," said Ben Brunjes, a third-year College student and Delta Upsilon's vice-president.

Sounds silenced in wake of attacks

By Catherine Dunn | September 17, 2001

Did you hear?" Yes. We all did. The first sound was a knock on the bedroom door - soft, tentative - as though it could simultaneously wake the intended person while allowing the other roommate to sleep. Next, the voice inside your own head: It's only 9:30 a.m.
