...bathroom may prevent any more unwelcome visitors, it will also hinder the residents of the dorms and their guests. What if a first-year from Mass.

What about the number of residents who will no doubt forget their keys, locking themselves out of both their rooms and their bathrooms. As Adam E. Cohen '01 of Weld Hall points...
...axis of my life, not my work." Susan Butler King Brown feels bewildered over having kids so late: "Would this have been easier in my 20s or 30s?"

While Jackson irritatingly crows for the Pietasters, the Slackers use a three-headed singing attack of Victor Ruggiero, Marq Lyn and Jeremy Mushlin. The variety of individual vocal styles enhances the appeal of Redlight...
...program now finds itself in (where have you gone, Dandy Don?). And last night's penalty-filled game, which saw the Chiefs beat the Chargers 31-3, was hardly a classic. Still, it was a fine October night, with a full moon and spectacular views of Kansas City, a town full of crazy little women where everything remains up to date. And what else were you going to do on a Thursday night, watch Seinfeld...
