Column: Nice job, Zuckerberg

September 12, 2006

By Stephanie Shore I think we can all agree that the implementation of the "Facebook Facelift" was a pretty ugly mistake. Most facelifts are, after all. Just ask Joan Rivers. This coming from an admittedly Facebook-obsessed "Inter-nerd." I'd count how many times I check...

Letter to the Editor: Students should look at SGA for themselves

September 12, 2006

Column: Multitasking: being good and lazy

September 12, 2006

I am all about taking the easy route. As a child, I learned to grasp my underpants between two toes and toss them up to my awaiting hand so I wouldn't have to bend all the way over to grab them out of my drawer in the morning. At water parks, I don't walk from waterslide to...
