Top of the morning to you freshpeople! So much to see, so much to learn! The wise John Jay once said: “Hold fast to the spirit of youth, let the years to come do what they may” The wise Wayne Campbell once said: “I once thought I had mono for an entire year. It turned […]

Over on Low Plaza, and for the last half hour or so, a crowd has gathered, sending out rainbow rays and good-time tunes into the night. Weighed down with glow-rings, the masses cover the steps and jam to “Chicken Fried,” the “Cupid Shuffle,” and “Jai-Ho” remixes. The event is CUgLow. A tight core of dedicated […]
