I am a terrible college student

By Bailee Barfield | April 25, 2008

I should clarify. My grades are fine, I am responsible with alcohol and I maximize my undergraduate experience every day (after all, I did just go to the last Second Year Series Dinner). I keep things in perspective and develop healthy attachments ... with the sole exception of Gmail and Alderman Café. My area of fault lies not in the gauge of my character or my intellectual tenacity, but that I, like many women before me, am a terrible packer.

Horsing Around at Colonial Downs

By Lindsey Wagner | April 23, 2008

With the Foxfield Races right around the corner, University students tend to catch some form of horse racing fever this time of year, whether it be marveling at the athleticism of the horses or simply shooting a passing glance at the blur of movement on the other side of the cooler.

Stepping, stomping and celebrating

By Lindsay Powell | April 18, 2008

Step It Up should not be mistaken for a dance team. The organization is dedicated to stepping, an art form that, according to second-year Engineering student Rochelle Upshur, moves beyond conventional forms of dance. "Step It Up uses stomping, clapping and creating beats to tell a story," said second-year College student Ally Baxter, another member of the organization. Step It Up is the only non-Greek associated step team on Grounds and was founded four years ago. "Step It Up's sole mission is to celebrate the art of stepping through teaching and learning routines," Upshur said. Members of Step It Up gather at Slaughter Recreation Center Mondays and North Grounds Recreation Center Wednesdays to work on step routines and learn new choreography.
