Tuning in:

It's not NBC, it's not CBS, it's WHOO TV. And as its slogan says, it is "revolutionizing communication at the University." For the last year, third-year College students Sarah Jennings and Nicholas Holden have worked to bring WHOO TV, a student-run television station, to the University. So far the station only has a news show and a sketch comedy show, but its founders have big dreams for the future. "Our short-term goals are to get some money from appropriations next semester and get an office space," said Jennings, a third-year College student.

Odds and Ends

"A woman I know was raped by a stranger who held her and her friend at gunpoint..." These stories and others submitted by University students crowd the Rape Story Wall at the Sexual Assault Awareness Week table on the Lawn.

Tales of the shoes

Well-loved and broken in, they have rubber soles, frayed laces and cracked leather toes. For many people, one of the most integral parts of being may be that pair of gray-strapped Teva hiking sandals, those rugged sand-colored Timberland boots or even a pair of plain Birkenstocks. Some people have travelled all over the world and with each, footwear has followed - across oceans, over country borders, into different climates and topographies, with them every step of the way.

The new taste of Arch's

Rob Archer came rushing in through the newspaper-covered doors of Arch's Frozen Yogurt. The restaurant - known throughout the University as the place for study-break indulgence - has gotten a facelift. "We've done it all ourselves," Rob, the store's owner, said of the work he and his wife Sandy have done. The Arch's on the Corner has undergone renovation for four months and will reopen tomorrow with a whole new taste. "You should just see how excited I get," Rob said, adding ingredients into his new espresso machine to make the first-ever Arch's vanilla latte.
