...most importantly, punch final clubs. As seniors looking back at that fateful year, though we are both pleased with our club choices, we wish could have made more informed decisions. In writing this guide, therefore, we hope that we can provide for sophomores an inside scoop on the rich and varied character of each club...
...event is substantial, but it's doable," Slayton says. "The Governor is really relying on us." While it's unusual to meet techies who can even name a presidential candidate, it's rarer still to find people actively campaigning for a Republican.

Kaushik should be rich by now, but thanks to a string of bad luck and bad decisions, he is not. He's worked for seven high-tech companies in 10 years. His first employer was bought by another firm shortly after he was hired. He joined another company in 1992 before it went public...
