I have seen one student group whose members were so busy planning their high-minded service events that they left their own bridge housing rooms filthy for nameless custodians to tidy up.

The trend—girls exhibiting their, um, let’s call it butt cleavage, through the use of low-rise jeans and a complete lack of proper decency??had swept across campus and the country. Denim designers and fashionistas everywhere had spawned lines of clothing tailored specifically for this purpose. Magnitude of butt cleavage across females being mostly equal, at least compared to the normal kind of cleavage, the playing field was finally leveled...
