...Budget cuts are a reality, and we understand that the Quad must be affected; in an economic climate like this, we all must make sacrifices. As the university cuts back, however, it must ensure that options are in place to provide each undergraduate with a relatively equivalent experience.

When weighing her options, she cannot just walk home, but among her choices is an offer from a male who says she can wait for the shuttle in his room. The offer is probably innocent, and the woman probably gets...
