Help wanted?

By Michelle Jamrisko | March 30, 2004

Another page will be torn from the calendar on Thursday. While some University students celebrate the approach of April and continue daydreaming about lying out in the summer sun, others are feeling the pressure to finalize summer internship or job plans. Third-year Engineering student Cat Kennedy said that while she is still in the process of interviewing, she senses that "a lot of people are going for a few jobs." Several students noted that their parents are sources of added pressure. "I'm going to Spain for five weeks and then I'm going to scrounge for a job," first-year College student Kyla Coyle said.

Graduating gourmet

By Allison Correll and Daniel Stern | March 26, 2004

It's not the end of the world, but it sure is the end of an era. Sadly, fourth years, before we know it, we too will be making our storied and long-awaited final trek down the historic Lawn during our very own Commencement ceremonies.
