Last week, "60 Minutes" commentator Andy Rooney made a remark on the Madison Square Garden Network's "The Boomer Esiason Show" that deserves to be addressed. When discussing television coverage of NFL games, Rooney said, "The only thing that really bugs me is those damn women they have down on the sidelines a woman has no business being down there trying to make some comment about a football game." I couldn't believe my ears. Those women are part of the reason I'm glued to my couch every Sunday, and more importantly, Monday nights. If you want proof that Rooney is dead wrong in his assessment, look no further than ABC sideline reporter and University alumna Melissa Stark. For those of you unfortunate enough to be unfamiliar with her, allow me to fill you in.

It's Tuesday night, a perfect time to grab a date, some popcorn -- and dive into your homework, all at the same time. Several University professors are replacing reading time with "viewing time," and the movies they're assigning aren't boring documentaries or obscure foreign films. History Prof.
Snipers are about as funny as asparagus right now. I told a joke in the dining hall yesterday that started off like this: A rabbi, a goat and a sniper walked into a bar But before I could even get to the part about Pauly Shore, someone threw a bonsai-sized head of broccoli at my left man boob. It was a good thing I was wearing a magician's top hat at the time though, because I promptly counteracted any other kamikaze vegetation with a little Houdini one-and-two that I like to call, "Plan: When-all-else-fails-pull something-out-of-your-hat."

Fourth-year College student and Classics Club president Kristen Boose said the club "just got started this semester, so we were looking for an activity that would be available to all University students." The festivity included a 24-hour reading of "The Iliad" in front of the statue, which started at 9 a.m.
