It's Tuesday night, a perfect time to grab a date, some popcorn -- and dive into your homework, all at the same time. Several University professors are replacing reading time with "viewing time," and the movies they're assigning aren't boring documentaries or obscure foreign films. History Prof.
Snipers are about as funny as asparagus right now. I told a joke in the dining hall yesterday that started off like this: A rabbi, a goat and a sniper walked into a bar But before I could even get to the part about Pauly Shore, someone threw a bonsai-sized head of broccoli at my left man boob.

Fourth-year College student and Classics Club president Kristen Boose said the club "just got started this semester, so we were looking for an activity that would be available to all University students." The festivity included a 24-hour reading of "The Iliad" in front of the statue, which started at 9 a.m.
