It stinks out there

October 29, 2002

This city stinks; literately. The air in any city is positively revolting. This comes as no surprise to anyone. After all, a city is high on man-made structures and low on vegetation. All the stinky molecules float around, contaminating our air with nowhere to go. I hear Tehran...

Story idea / Feedback

NU battles in upstate trip

October 22, 2002

By Dwayne Dahlbeck Before Friday's 36th Albany Invitational, cross country coordinator Richard Hart said he thought it would be a good preview of next week's America East Championship. Apparently no one told that to the other teams in the America East. In a meet that featured...
