Quick, Pack Up Your Belongings
Friday, September 30, 2005
If you had to pack up your life in a single suitcase what would you take? At 3 a.m. yesterday, my friend Carly, an Oak Park resident, learned she had to pack what she could because her neighborhood was on voluntary evacuation due to the fires in the valley area.
Cool Off I.V., Heckling Just Goes Too Far
Friday, September 30, 2005
You're at a 10. We need you at like a 2. I had looked forward to the first weekend of the school year all summer. There's more beer than even we Gauchos know what to do with, and nubile, young freshmen roam the streets in a haze, supplying supple targets for my well-placed water balloons.
Cycling Inability Leaves Freshman Blaming GOLD
Friday, September 30, 2005
An open letter to that girl I hit on my bike yesterday. My bad. Seriously, it probably sucked pretty hard to be you at like 8:45 a.m. yesterday, face down on the grass outside of FT with your backpack, your little bicycle-basket-thing and your pride strewn all across the bike path.

Friday, September 30, 2005
Even though I am a graduate student, I was compelled to write in after reading your article, ("Facebookers To Face Write-Ups for Dorm Photos," Daily Nexus, Sept. 29).

Foot Patrol, turning the university experience into four years of panoptic state management of students who are, by and large, legally adults.

Ms. October
Friday, September 30, 2005
Since I'm a diehard A's fan, you could say that I'm used to my share of October surprises and heartbreaks. But I never saw this year coming.... I don't even know where to begin with the National League (NL) West, a veritable Triple-A compared to the rest of the league.

Who's the big college student? Yesh you are. Yesh you are. Who's the big independent person doing whatever they want in class, like reading the 'human? Yesh you are. Yesh you are.
