NH: Section Singles
So, the buzz around NH these days has been the single people and “Section Love,” and this mysterious AuntieGoldie. Let me preface this by saying that New H is a generally good-looking class-New H men were by far the best looking women at Priscilla Ball last weekend! I, too, was curious and sent out an… Continue reading NH: Section Singles
A Hails the Queen
It has been 5 weeks since that momentous day in Burden Auditorium, when all 900 members of the Class of 2003 sat impatiently through slide after slide… after slide…after slide… waiting to see what one fate-determining letter would appear next to his or her name. 82 of those people lucked out. For they are now… Continue reading A Hails the Queen

The EC: Existential Confusion or Easy Coasting?
I thought the EC was supposed to be stress-free. I thought it would be a walk in the park after the trials and tribulations of last year. I was prepared for an interesting, exciting and (okay, I’ll admit it) easy year. No, no, no. That’s not at all how it’s turning out. I forgot to… Continue reading The EC: Existential Confusion or Easy Coasting?
Don't Ask, Don't Tell
So I’m a sour-puss for not attending this year’s Priscilla Ball. After all, what’s the marginal utility of one more drag show in addition to the dozens I’ve already seen? I was fascinated, though, when I saw the photos emailed to me showing my male classmates under pounds of mascara, posing in tartly fishnet stockings… Continue reading Don't Ask, Don't Tell

Priscilla Ball: Prominent Sociologist, Aussie Bloke Chime in on the Origins of Cross-Dressing
With the Priscilla Ball just around the corner, many male students have been asking their amused female classmates about women’s clothes. For example, “What is the acceptable length of a short skirt?” And, “How does one match shoes with a dress?” But the far harder questions are: “Why does the Australian party involve cross-dressing?” And,… Continue reading Priscilla Ball: Prominent Sociologist, Aussie Bloke Chime in on the Origins of Cross-Dressing
Walden Pond: Getting Back to Nature
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. -Henry David Thoreau, Walden A mere twenty minute drive from campus… Continue reading Walden Pond: Getting Back to Nature
