For competitors like Steinhauser and Horton, hockey is not a just a sport but rather a life-long dedication. "I started skating when I was 2 and a half, and started playing hockey at 4 years old," said Horton. Steinhauser also started playing at about age 3. However, the young boys had different reasons for the start of their hockey career. "My one older brother played," said Steinhauser, "and [my parents] ...
So this one time in band class…
Sometimes they seem to go unnoticed--but they are always there, at every home football game in the fall. In the winter, they are cheering at the boys' and girls' basketball games, causing the Great Hall to resonate with the tunes of "Soul Man" and "Smoke on the Water." They are there at the closing Advent Mass, leading the students and faculty in a Christmas sing-a-long.

Life Unexpected
While the CW's biggest hit, "Gossip Girl," is on a temporary hiatus, the covetted time spot is being filled with a new show, "Life Unexpected."

Similair to past shows, when the network was still under the name The WB, such as "7th Heaven" and "Dawson's Creek," "Life Unexpected" tells the story of an unconventional family learning to cope with life's surprises. Cate, the over-achieving ...

Former Senator Norm Coleman and Former Vice President Walter Mondale both came to speak to the classes on Friday, January 8 and Thursday, January 14.

Valentine’s Day: depressing and shameless
written by Sean Simonson
Every year, at the end of January, as chocolate roses take their annual place next to every cash register, I dread the start of the worst holiday season of all: Valentine’s Day.

Stella’s satisfies fish-lovers
written by Kathleen Ambre
The savory salty scent–sweet paprika, basil, and warm saffron–season the air like that of a coastal seaside, contradictory of the snow beneath my feet and the bitter-cold draft seeping through the front door. Ebony-stained hardwoods, dim lighting, terra-cotta brown accents all impart Stella... Continue Reading »
