DURING my four years at the University there is much I have come to appreciate about Mr. Jefferson?s University.
WE WAHOOS are a proud group. Typically, we don?t covet other schools.
I HAVE A love/hate relationship with the Amazon Kindle.If you don?t know what the Amazon Kindle is, Amazon describes it as ?a wireless reading device.?

DID ANY other fourth-years feel a bit uncomfortable waiting in line last week to pick up a cap and gown?
AS THE Honor Committee made motion after motion to extend debate on the topic of referendum validity at Sunday?s Committee meeting, it was clear that the decision of whether or not the proposed referendum to the Honor Committee?s constitution should establish a binding amendment was far from cut and dry.
MICHAEL PHELPS is a disappointment. Forget the 16 Olympic medals he has won over his career or the record-breaking eight gold medals he won in the 2008 Olympics alone.
IT LOOKS like at least one good thing has come out of the economic recession: JuicyCampus.com, a message board that became a haven for anonymously posting rude, hateful, and ignorant speech on the Internet, ceased operations on Feb.
