Give me a break

In one week, thousands of co-eds will flood Spring Break destinations like Panama City, Florida and Cancun to swig bad booze and "party with Real World celebrities," only to return to school with a few blurred photos, a Margaritaville shot glass and a re-mixed version of the same hangover they had before they left.

Tafelmusik anyone?

V-Day takes over the University

'Vaginal Wonder' "I bet you're worried. I was worried. That's why I began this piece. I was worried about vaginas." And thus, Eve Ensler begins her infamous "Vagina Monologues". According to the Random House Web site, in 1998, Ensler first published her controversial work, and today the set of monologues has come to symbolize much more than just the stark contrast between comedic and dramatic looks at women and their vaginas. The monologues, which have been translated into 24 languages, are now performed across the globe on or around V-Day, Feb.
