Dear Britney - You should have hired me

I have an inexplicable love for teen movies, especially when they involve makeovers. Who could resist Rachel Leigh Cook in "She's All That," when she goes from geek to chic by taking off her glasses and putting her hair down?

The beer engineer

Beer brewing might sound like a fictional course out of some sort of comedy poking fun at college classes, but the Engineering School's Rodman Scholars Program proves that thought wrong. Rodman Scholars are required to take four seminars, or RodSems, during their four years at the University, and for the past two years, the program has offered a seminar on beer brewing for students who are at least 21 years old.

Six years later

Thomas Jefferson once said, "information is the currency of democracy." Members of Students Defending Democracy kept this quote in mind as they prepared for the sixth anniversary of September 11. In remembrance of the tragedy, Students Defending Demcoracy, an organization that promotes an understanding of the threats facing democracy and steps to be taken to overcome them, hosted several events that allowed students, faculty and friends to gather and pay respects to those who lost their lives. Fourth-year college student Marie Cohen and third-year college student Gary Lawkowski organized the ceremonies that were held during the morning and afternoon of Sept.

I'm here!

"I'm here!" is the phrase I keep hearing over and over. Mostly because one of my friends won't stop repeating it, but occasionally I say it to myself, too.

Grant me this

Last spring, 47 University students were given the chance to explore a field of their interest. Whether this involved traveling to India to determine the effect of society and culture on individuals' response to chronic pain or looking into crime in small U.S.

Unhirable

Last week I was cut from the basketball team for the fourth year in a row. Maybe it was my lack of height and skill, or maybe it was the fact that I hadn't filled out my intramural signup sheet correctly.

If there's anything we Wahoos love even more than dressing up, honor and ice milk, it's studying abroad.
