On Nov. 14, a group of students met with Vice President of Student Affairs Juan Gonzalez and presented him with a preliminary proposal for the creation of an on-campus resource center for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender students. The report included statistics reflecting the problems sexual minorities face as well as information that pointed out that, historically, Catholic Church teachings are not imcompatible with sexual orientation.

Why Can’t I Score

As corporate lawyers, professional arbitrators, incredibly rich businessmen and the dorky-as-hell Commissioner of Baseball square off regarding the issues of contraction and the collective bargaining agreement this offseason, I find it remarkably difficult, optimist though I may be, to deny the possibility of a work stoppage in the 2002 baseball season.

I’m already dead

Don’t cry for me; I’m already dead.

Str?kkes? Yes, please.

Just in case you haven’t heard, rock’n’roll has been saved. The year was 2000. The city was New York City. The place was RCA Records. Two bands of musicians battled, dueling guitars and drums for the opportunity to become the now famous (or at least semi-famous) Strokes.

Revenge of the bourgeoisie

My burgeoning liberalism is having a tough time compromising itself with my general distaste for the masses. I want to reach out to people, to help people, to appreciate their woes. But this is hard, because they keep pissing me off.

People are idiots, and they smell.
