Wednesday night, Aramark employees served fried chicken, barbecued ribs, baked ham, collard greens and black-eyed peas.

With this "celebration," Dining Services is playing directly into stereotypes about African Americans.

Campus music enters digital age

Have you ever gone home for the weekend but still wanted to hear your favorite DJ's radio show? If so, you're in luck. WCWM is now online.

For approximately two years, the members of WCWM, the campus radio station, have been working with members of the Student Information Network to broadcast WCWM online. On February 14, they saw their dreams come true with the premiere of SIN Radio, which offers a link to WCWM's live broadcasts. The programming is the exact same as that heard on the Campus Channel, only with a 10-second delay.

W&M walks away with NCAA record

After a weekend in which the team took its first two losses of the season, Tribe baseball rebounded in a big way against Coppin State Wednesday, scoring 26 runs in the final two innings en route to a 36-3 victory over the Eagles. The Tribe tied an NCAA record on the way to victory, drawing 25 bases on balls to equal the record last set in 1985 by Mercer University.

W&M also collected 19 hits, including four homers, on the way to setting a Plumeri Park record for runs scored.
