V-Day takes over the University

By Richard Roberts | February 27, 2004

'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.

Sophisticated, elegant: OXO is more than impressive

By Allison Correll and Daniel Stern | February 27, 2004

It is almost March of our fourth year. It is a hectic time, and one element that continues to add to this anxious stage in our lives is the fact that come May 16, 2004, we, as fourth years, will be on our own. While some of us have secured jobs, others of us have not.

For many students, this past week was one of anxiety and sleepless nights. And midterms weren't so great either. But the real source of stress for the members of the East Coast Asian American Student Union executive board was the anticipation of two years of hard work coming to fruition this weekend when the annual ECAASU conference will take place at the University from Feb.

Choose your own adventure: Mardi Gras

By Andrew Smith | February 26, 2004

New Orleans. The Land of Love and Beer. Easily one of the best places in the world. A place where the beer flows like wine, where the women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano.

Healthy EATing

By Cliff Roberts | February 25, 2004

Living in a culture that is often image-conscious can make healthy eating habits and an appreciation of one's own body difficult to attain.

When will it end?

By Brett Meeks | February 24, 2004

So what? You can make it two more weeks. Can't you? Well, unfortunately, I don't think I can. I just feel that mask of sanity slipping off the edge of my face -- the monster is going to break out and the villagers will flee to the hills in a massive horde, screaming. Spring Break is approaching fast, but not fast enough, damnit.

Is reality TV turning viewers into real-life bullies?

By Lytle Wurtzel | February 23, 2004

TV is killing my social life. Gone are the Wednesday nights crowded around a table of friends and $2 margaritas. That same group is now huddled around a television set, watching the latest episode of the O.C. Trying to get together a group of classmates to go out after "Friends?" Forget it -- "The Apprentice" is on. Factor in episodes of "American Idol," "Survivor," "Real World," and "Newlyweds," and the week is over. If I'm reduced to drinking alone, it's not my fault. Reality TV is breeding a new generation of alcoholics. Maybe I completely missed the memo on this one, but when did reality TV replace ... well, reality? I don't know about you, but my reality has never been quite like the shows on TV. I've never lived in Paris under the watchful eye of MTV's camera.

Stepping into the Real World

By Defne Gunay | February 20, 2004

While first years are skipping classes and procrastinating on their work, some of the University's "mature" and "responsible" upperclassmen are slowly beginning to think about their future careers. University Internship Program provides these students with the opportunity to get a taste of the working world. UIP is holding internship interviews until March 2 for rising fourth years who want to intern this summer or next academic year. "We usually have 300 to 400 students involved in our program each year," UIP Director Nancy Gansneder said. The application process involves completing an online application form and scheduling a "match-up interview". "The application tells us what the student is interested in, and they identify the placements they are interested in," Gansneder said.
