If the person next to you cheated on an exam, would you turn him in? Yes you would ? or at least that's what you had to say, in a signed statement, in order to enroll as a freshman.
Since the overthrow of Saddam Hussein, the U.S. has been facing unprecedented challenges in Iraq, greater than those of the war itself.
Last week, the Bolshoi Theater fired one of Russia's premier ballerinas for being, at 5'6" and 109 pounds, too fat.
It seems that more and more, audience members are abdicating their minds during movies. They sit, they watch, they become offended, and they question how on earth a producer could make such an offensive, scary, it-could-happen-tome film and dare to label it art.
With all the bad news emerging from North Korea over the past year, China's apparent cooperation with Washington to resolve the nuclear standoff has been both positive and even surprising to some.
My last week was made memorable by two experiences. The first was meeting with my twelve freshman advisees to discuss their academic programs.
As the south part of campus undergoes massive bricklaying and earth-pummeling construction, I ask whether or not the University's itch for expansion is good for the school or not.
You could be forgiven for missing an anniversary that slipped by this past weekend: it's been exactly ten years since Yitzhak Rabin and Yasser Arafat, flanked by a beaming Bill Clinton, shook hands on the White House lawn and embarked on what became know as the Oslo peace process.
Life is interesting for we few seniors bold enough ? or perhaps odd enough ? to draw back into a residential college.
The RIAA, the recording industry's trade group, announced last week that it will offer a "clean slate" to anyone who stops sharing, deletes the ill-gotten files, and signs a sworn statement that includes an admission of guilt.

I forgot how much fun it is being a student. I forgot what it was like taking classes from CIA agents and esteemed writers, staying up late with my friends and partying into the waning hours of darkness.
The most common age of a homeless person in this county is seven. When I was seven I was playing coach's pitch baseball, watching Sesame Street and eating three meals a day (assuming my parents could force me to eat breakfast). I certainly was not trying to find a roof for the night or searching for food on the streets.Considering that New Jersey is the richest state (per capita) in the nation, I am proposing that seven-year-olds need not be homeless.
There were once two girls who grew up in New Jersey. They attended the same school, shared most of their friends, and were remarkably dedicated band geeks.

He didn't do it. There is no good evidence that Saddam Hussein had anything whatsoever to do with the attacks of two years ago.
I swore this year would never come. I'll admit, at the beginning of freshman year, things were scary.
