Sophomore Chad White was deep in enemy territory. He waded through trenches, nervously fingering the grenade he'd brought and aiming his gun at the unsuspecting sentry of the fort he was rushing. Then, every soldier's nightmare happened to him.



Confusion Corner: Crushes lead to improved hygiene

A friend of mine will reprimand me for writing this column. One time last year, he told me off for using the word "crush," saying that crushes are for middle-schoolers, and real adults just use "game" and "hook up."

Mythological mainstage

"Tim, your nipples are showing. Cover 'em up," Professor Elizabeth Wiley said.

Running for a cause

Training time for the LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon, an event that attracts top record holders and worldwide spectators, is nearing a close for Director of Dining Services Frank Caruso.
