Trailing Tiger Sometimes dreams really do come true. Or at least they did for fourth-year College student Huan Tran, who leaves for Las Vegas today to participate in the Tiger Woods Fantasy Golf Camp, led by the golfing phenomenon himself. "I'm obsessed with golf and I love Tiger," Tran said excitedly, explaining that he has followed Woods' career since he won his first amateur tournament.

Last April, third-year College student Abigail Burroughs said she had one wish. After battling squamous cell head and neck cancer for more than a year, she desperately wanted to be able to keep the apartment lease she had signed with two of her friends for the University's 2001-2002 school year.

One voice begins and slowly turns into a harmonic blend of a cappella pitches as more voices join in, filling the late summer air. You immediately abandon your studies and rush outside with your friends to join the crowd outside your dorm.

I learned a lot during my first trip to Europe last month. Like how to raid vending machines to quickly use spare foreign currency before leaving for another country, and how to walk for miles with all of my belongings precariously strapped to my body. But as my plane returned to Dulles International Airport, I found myself with immense new knowledge on a topic that I had never previously bothered to explore - the bathroom.
