To be honest, I never really knew what the hype was with IM football. I cheered for my first-year section—tenderly known as “Eat Shit!"—and soon started rooting for my sorority's team, KKGFSU (you can guess the expletives there).
No Age understands two things especially well: they know that good-looking products will sell better than ugly ones and they understand the importance of keeping busy in an industry dominated by infuriatingly...
Wake up, September has ended. It's now Rocktober, that magical month of fabulous new music. With the economy still lurking in the dumpster, you don't want to be wasting your funds on crummy albums. For...
Junior Brandon Fennell sits on the floor of the science building hallway reading through a spread-out mess of papers covering a three square-foot arena, blocking the doorway to a lab where a woman with blue gloves sets up an experiment. Another student also reads through the papers scattered about the floor.
Enthusiastic student activist and senior Seth Bergeson is not so enthused about how hard it is to rework the world's problems.

“The Oresteia" is a difficult play, not one to treat lightly. It is a complex play in its poetic literacy, story and social complications. The famous Greek trilogy-tragedy by Aeschylus follows the murder of Agamemnon by his wife Clytemnestra, her subsequent murder by her son Orestes (after whom the trilogy is named), and his trial.
