"WAHOOS? What the heck is a wahoo?" Prospective University students ask this question every year during tours around Grounds. One can only imagine the looks on the faces of University guides as high school students and their parents gaze expectantly at them, waiting for an answer. For, as every Wahoo comes to know -- as well as every Wahoo's chagrined parents -- a wahoo is a fish that can drink twice its own weight.

IMAGINE that your house has been robbed. You are distraught because your house has been ravaged, and many of your personal possessions have been taken. While you are in this state of mind, the police come to investigate the crime. Instead of their assurance that the perpetrator will be caught and perhaps even their sympathy, they begin asking you preposterous questions. "Did you have something valuable lying in plain sight?" "Why didn't you get a better security system?" "Forgetting the window open like that, it seems like you were almost asking to be robbed."

RUGBY Road, 3 a.m. The scene, of inebriated people stumbling home, is typical of a Friday or Saturday night at the University. Fish have to swim, birds have to fly, and University students apparently have to drink like fish -- or, more specifically, like Wahoos. Along with tipsy students, however, another common sight in the early morning hours is a University bus flying by with its display reading "Not In Service."

IT'S A CRAZY time we're living in. Not only are we at the beginning of a whole new -- far too over-hyped -- millennium, we are also living in the midst of a technological revolution. The entire economy is shifting, and with it the society that harbors it is changing as well. Ingenuity has become more important than experience when it comes to making money, as illustrated by 25-year-old technological geniuses becoming millionaires, even billionaires, overnight -- yes, even without Regis' help.

In the tech world, college can seem irrelevant -- even frivolous. Though prospects are bright, the wisdom of this mindset is questionable at best.

LATELY, students at the University of California in Santa Cruz may have been getting the feeling that they're not in the 1960s anymore. The school, located on Monterrey Bay near prime surfing waters, is not one to follow the crowd. Exhibit One: the school's choice of the banana slug as the school mascot. But the issue riling up most of the school's 11,000 students and some of the faculty, however, concerns Exhibit Two: the school's policy of not giving letter grades.

About 20 University students gathered in the Rotunda for a training session Saturday that was unlike most introductory sessions on Grounds. Instead of learning how to get along with their dorm mates, make good cappuccinos or operate Windows 98, the participants convened to learn about something more rewarding - community service.
