| Times article on Social Dynamics |
| Posted by: Nikhil Dhingra |
| Published: Monday, September 08, 2008 |
Hey everyone, this is a pretty relevant and interesting article in yesterday's Times that y'all might find interesting as you begin your college careers. Some of it is high school-specific, but it talks about the transition and the social dynamics involved in finding your niches and what that means for your future interactions and success later on in life.
Take some of it to heart, I wish I had read it my freshman year.

There are exceptions, of course, like the beloved Lost, which has returned on schedule simply because pre-production had completed before the strike began. However, a few exceptions aside, the major networks are scrambling to fill their time slots (and gain back those advertising dol... |

| Trash 101 and Recycling! |
| Posted by: April Herring |
| Published: |
You have probably seen trash strewn across the upper quad on any given morning. That is because the squirrels love to go through your trash and they are not worried about cleaning up after themselves. Please take your trash to the Memorial tower or Speakman trash rooms. And put it down the chutes! When you don't you are giving all the critters you hate to see in your room free food and you are making housekeepings job a lot harder. You shouldn't put it outside the entry doors or in the bathroom. Housekeeping can't throw away 460 people's... |
