After Soudavar bravely asked the young cook where he had bought the fabulous trousers he was wearing, the man grabbed Soudavar's hand and motioned for him to keep silent. The chef ushered Soudavar down to the kitchen's store room and handed him a pair of the coveted cooking wear...

Not a regular blow drier, Steciuk saves in-depth styling for Friday nights, when he has more time. Eddie Huang `03, on the other hand, blow-dries every day. Vanity? Dedication? None of these, claims Eddie--just habit. Huang blow-dries every night after showering to avoid those embarrassing cowlicks that plague so many.
