Journalistically and ethically speaking, any professional newspaper would never allow a source to read a story before publication. And while we are a college/student newspaper, we still hold ourselves to professional standards.

24: “Day 8: 11:00 p.m. – 12:00 a.m.”

I’m not a huge fan of “24,” but ever since “Day 4″ (season four) I find myself watching the program in the winter. I tend to get a little lost as the season progresses and plot lines take strange turns. I often struggle to remember what exactly started that insanely eventful day.

It was Presidents’ Day, yet unlike the American government, UR and its student government were still at work. Which is good, because Washington and Lincoln were way overrated anyway. HONEST! (ABE)

After spending 10 days on the British Virgin Islands training and playing, the squash team returned to Rochester early January to start the second half of the season.

One of my favorite things about graduate school, as I’ve alluded to in many of my other posts, is the collegial attitude of the students. Everyone is out to do their best, and since whether you get a “B” or an “A” doesn’t really make too much difference, the main goal of our classes is to learn and to get the best education possible.
Every Dog Has Its Day

This week I have found myself in an interesting situation, and one that I didn’t expect to find myself in for a few weeks. It looked very promising that the production of the paper would finish tonight before I got a chance to sit down and write my blog entry.
