As the weather turns cold and students dig out their jackets and scarves, another aspect of the season rears its ugly head -- winter colds and flu. "[Last] month was the highest number of patients we've seen in eight years during September," saidJoe Chance, the general director of medicine at the Elson Student Health Center. Chance said many of these student visits were due to respiratory infections such as the common cold. Currently suffering from the common cold himself, Chance offered some information to help keep students healthy. He explained that the common cold spreads more quickly during the winter for a variety of reasons, the primary one being that students spend more time indoors, increasing close contact with each other. He also said there is a theory that the cold and flu viruses operate more efficiently in the cold. Chance suggests that students wash their hands frequently as their number one defense against germs, as cold and flu viruses are generally spread through touching rather than sneezing or coughing. Aside from washing hands, students may receive flu shots Thursday, Nov.

The festival atmosphere provides a markedcontrast to the normal milieu of Lee Park.

We're not exactly sure where the restaurant name originated, but this past Sunday we decided to try Mono Loco for a dinner with Cuban flair.
"Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead" is a classic in its own right. Corporate scandal, Clown Hot Dog love, the old lady's death, brother Kenny's drugs.
Grossed out by the sight of blood? Or mathematically challenged? Then why not go to law school?

Some students might think of their lectures as torture. But how many actually go to lectures on torture? This afternoon, the option hails from the University of Cambridge French Prof.
Rachel Kallem scoots to class. Literally. Forget the bus, or huffing it on foot. The first-year College student rolls out of bed and hits the road on her scooter when it's time to get to lecture. For Kallem, who rides to all of her classes, scooting cuts 10 minutes off her old walking route.
