I think this is a good idea. The street between Cook Library and OMH needed to be changed to one way ever since they made changes a couple years ago (took away the bookstore parking meter spaces - why did they do that again??) and the street became narrower. However, I think it's ridiculous that peo...

Elections don’t get more exciting than the one before our nation this week. Whether you are Republican or Democrat, between presidential candidate Barack Obama and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, America has a choice between making history and making history. For many freshmen, sophom...

Most of the 7,000 full-time students who live on the University of Pennsylvania's West Philadelphia campus have gone home for the summer, but, oh, the things they left behind. There were 5,000 hangers, toasters, irons and TVs, coffeemakers and microwaves and kettles for tea. There were 12 pairs ...

But Campus Grotto points out that that changes when you move into the dorms (or worse, into a frat house). Distractions a...

Whatever happened to all-American college pastimes like smoking weed and robbing the pizza delivery guy? Kids in fancy schools these days apparently spend all their time engaged in a "team-based locally social online sport." No, not organizing group sex encounters on Craigslist; playing GoCrossCampu...

IvyGate pointed out last week that Sex Week was coming to Yale this week. Valentine's Day seemed like as good a time as any to mention it.... There's been a fascinating schedule of speakers and events. Monday was on relationships and Dr. Ruth spoke on campus. Tuesday's theme was "What a ...

I've always wondered this, what kind of power does student government have in a university environment? They are rebelling at ASU. Quote: It's the same every year.
