...great idea to center the activity around carnival games run by student groups. Of course, with a large number of first years showing up for HYPE, the event did border on a sequel to tabling outside registration.

Americans, who love fat almost as much as the Finns do, may have to wait a few years to try Benecol, however. Raisio has yet to petition...
