Almost 200 students can be seen sporting red and blue "Mustangs Who Care" wristbands, but it's still too soon to tell whether the numbers show a sign of progress for student senate's most recent drug and alcohol prevention program.

The "Twilight" aphrodisiac

Tonight at midnight, something very important and special will happen. And no, I'm not talking about the meteor shower (which I missed due to the billions of lights in the Amesbury Parc apartment complex). Almost every girl reading this right now will know what I'm talking about.

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 05:00:00 GMT

Two or three years ago, I thought Barack Obama was the man. He just kind of came out of nowhere and started criticizing everything about the Bush administration and Congress and what they had all done wrong with this country and the Middle East.

The Way I See It: Skipping Thanksgiving

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 05:00:00 GMT

I always forget about Thanksgiving. I decked out my apartment for Halloween this year: pumpkins were everywhere, different quirky signs read "Happy Halloween," and my dog was forced into a pumpkin costume.

That all went down Nov. 1 and 18 days later, my tree is up, green and red can't be missed and twinkle lights now take the place of air conditioning to push up my electricity bill.
