You've probably read dozens of columns and heard quite a few speeches about providing valuable advice to incoming freshmen.
Never again will we get to see the look of profound disappointment on our inebriated classmates' faces as the Frist Food Gallery's portcullis, as if mocking the hungry, slowly closes at 2 a.m.. Never again will we be able to take a 1:47 a.m.
At Monday's faculty meeting, Dean of the College Nancy Weiss Malkiel offered the University community its first glimpse of the results of the grade deflation policy adopted by the faculty in April 2004.
Calling my first few weeks in China a "train wreck" doesn't quite capture the experience.
It is reassuring to see my fellow classmates taking an active role in relief and reconstruction efforts in the Gulf States.
Growing up in the Midwest, I never experienced an actual "Chinatown." While New Yorkers and Californians boasted of bubble tea shops springing up on every street corner and described their weekly feasts of dim sum and lychees, I simply nodded, bewildered.

Sitting at my desk with Wolf Blitzer's information-overload "Situation Room" blaring in the background and looking at commercially available before-and-after satellite photos of the Big Easy, I'm desperately trying to figure out why a benevolent god would allow a tragedy like Hurricane Katrina to happen.More distressing is the fact that the U.S.
