It was apparently tough this year for voters to determine a winner for best student organization at Northeastern. Thirty-seven percent of voters wrote-in a group not included on the Best of NU ballot, and 38 groups had five or fewer votes. But one group earned a few more votes than the others – The Latin American Student Association (LASO), with 14 percent of the vote.

Sitting right in the middle of campus, it seems only natural that the Barnes and Noble in the Curry Student Center was voted the best bookstore on The News’ Best of NU poll. The campus bookstore caters to the everyday and not-so-everyday needs of Northeastern students.

At approximately 1 p.m. every day, groups of students gather around a small, white shack where sweet and salty smells are emanating, and all have the look of well-fed satisfaction on their faces.

Over the course of this semester, something strange and completely lame has happened to almost all of my girlfriends: They’ve all found boyfriends.

Most college students in this city have, at least once, met some crazy, memorable characters on the late night streets of Boston. Imagine preserving those memories on film and sharing them with the world on a website dedicated to the finest elements of nightlife in the Hub. Edek Wasilewski, a middler communication studies major, wanted to share his own funny stories, so he created a website to make this possible. He and his six-person team are launching the full version of Bostonsfinest.tv April 20. Currently, a preview site is up with a video the team made at the St. Patrick’s Day parade in Southie. While videos of late night shenanigans are going to be the top feature of Boston’s Finest, the site will have other highlights such as blogs, a Twitter feed, nightlife advice and other items that reflect culture in Boston.

Coming out as gay in today’s world is easier than it once was, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. Northeastern’s student theatre group Acting Out decided to explore this issue on the stage in “Come Out, Come Out, Wherever You Are,” which was performed Sunday.
