Hatred of redheads seems to be a growing fad. The origin of this particular upswing in ginger-bashing can be precisely traced to a single TV show.

Ben & Jerry of ice cream fame spoke at Ryan Auditorium Wednesday night in an event sponsored by College Democrats. We sent a conservative — and she actually learned a thing or two.

Believe it or not, famed sociologist Thorstein Veblen played a mean Ultimate Frisbee back in the day.

Remember, a macaroon is not a ping pong ball and a wine glass is not a Solo Cup.

Kari will be in Florence, Italy until Dec. 17.

I can honestly say that I love Florence and that I’m very glad to be spending my time abroad here, but sometimes it seems a little small. Rome, on the other hand, has somehow been able to maintain the feel of an enormous living and working city [...]

Julie will be in Paris, France until Dec. 17.

My sociology professor would kill me if she read this post.
She’s always saying three months is not enough time to pass judgment on an entire culture, that we’re too Americanized to admit that our way might not be the best and that our arguments aren’t nuanced enough.
Of [...]

Zoe will be in Jerusalem, Israel until January 2.

Yitzhak Rabin is Israel’s John F. Kennedy: a fighter for change, a symbol of hope and an assassinated national leader, forever engraved in national memory as a pioneer for peace.

Kari will be in Florence, Italy until Dec. 17.

Up until now, I’ve spent many an evening Skyping, IMing or Facebooking with friends and family back in the United States. Nonno and Nonna do not have Internet and are not computer-savvy (Nonna thinks computers are “diabolical”) but I’ve been stealing wireless from some unknown benefactor. I’ve [...]

Taylor is studying in Buenos Aires, Argentina until Nov. 28.

I’ve never actually failed something before. Sure, I’ve been unhappy with my grades at times, but literally failing has been something I’ve managed to avoid. Until now.
A week ago, I showed up at my final for “History of Argentina,” expecting to be handed a [...]

“It’s the sixth of November and I’m sun tanning!” my friend Ria exclaimed yesterday as we set between falls on a rappelling trip in the Judean desert.
We’d traveled with a group of international students to rappel hundreds of feet down jagged dessert cliffs in Qumran, the area [...]

Staci will be in Barcelona, Spain, until December 2009.

In less than one week, I leave for Amsterdam. I couldn’t be more excited. It’s such a famous European city, steeped in history and dignity. By history and dignity, of course, I mean weed and prostitutes.
In the meantime, I’ve been passing my time with the usual. [...]

Liz knows who she wants to be the newest “TGS” cast member. His name is Jayden and she must find a way for Jack to think he picked the kid out himself. Lucky for her, Pete’s got a plan, the “Hornberger System,” to surround him with three other carefully selected people Jack will not be [...]
