On sale now: Our space

“The first sign it was a mall was when the Sunglass Hut moved into the Registrar’s Office. Or was it when Foot Locker took over Copley Formal Lounge? Wait, it was definitely when the Sbarro opened up in the ICC Food Galleria!” said Jane Hoya (SFS ‘12), when asked about the rapid development of the University Square Shopping Center.

Sexy Girl Scouts and bacon bits

Though some of us believe we are too old or too cool to still dress up, hot-pants Heidi and S&M Spiderwoman were already defying the norm of preppiness at the Guards last Saturday.

We goin’ sizzla

I was fortunate enough to have good tickets to the Jazz-76ers preseason game this past weekend. From my seat, I couldn’t help but notice the ridiculous amount of trash talking on the court.
