Year worth revisiting
When President Timothy Sullivan took the stage at the King and Queen Ball many students stood poised to hear his annual speech. This year's Ball was different than years past because, after much typical Williamsburg rain, the event was brought inside to William and Mary Hall. Many students grumbled about not wanting to go, and yet it seemed few regretted being there when Sullivan held the microphone up to his mouth. But Sullivan had barely begun to speak before technical problems made him inaudible.
Dorm controversy not easily solved
In the past few weeks, the plan for a dorm on Barksdale has spawned more Letters to the Editor than Michael "McCarthy" Ruff's patriotic jingoism.

Activism rewards found in journey not destination
For the last four years, I have been a campus "activist." Though my presence has rarely been on a public stage, it has been seen behind the curtains.

Coach's selfish desertion could spark chain reaction

Seniors encouraged to banish regrets
They say you can't regret what you don't do, which begs the question, who are "they," and why the hell do they get to tell us what we'll regret? If "they" have ever left a place where they've felt accepted, made friends and built a life, for a foreign environment then they probably know a little bit about regret and that which follows what you do and don't achieve during your final days.
