Throughout the ages, the illustrious cougar has been a source of legend and folklore across the American continent. A solitary species, the cougar distinguishes herself among other larger felines with her refined poise and keen stalk-and-ambush skills. And unlike more selective carnivores, this harbinger of death will prey on just about any unsuspecting prey with a pulse ... and a penis.

Wikipedia defines a "cougar" as, "a mammal of the Felidae family, native to the Americas. This large, solitary cat has the greatest range of any wild terrestrial mammal in the Western Hemisphere, extending from Yukon in Canada to the southern Andes of South America. An adaptable, generalist species, the cougar is found in every major American habitat type."

Here's to you, Mrs. Robinsons of Dartmouth -- '12 boys love you more than you could know. And don't pretend like you haven't noticed a freshmen boy or two; you remember those new swimming recruits at the Toga Party at Heorot, or how about that super-cute '12 boy who writes for The Mirror? Well, even if the latter hasn't happened (yet), it doesn't change the fact that in this crazy little town called Hanover, cougars are out on the prowl and freshmen boys are hot on their trail.

Alright, I'll say it: I'm a senior girl. And like many senior girls, I'm confident, self-possessed and have no problem with the fact that a 2 really starts at 1:45. But I'm warning you, underclass boys, steer clear of us -- every single one. We're no good, I'm telling you. And not in a sultry, Amy-Winehouse-lyrics kind of a way. More like, Britney-Spears-in-a-tracksuit-beating-up-the-paparazzi-with-an-umbrella kind of no good.

On the second evening of my Orientation Week, a wise man in Zeta Psi (whoa, I'm dating myself) revealed "The X" to me. For those of you who aren't in the know, "The X" is a wonderful visual aid that shows the relative 'worth' of a Dartmouth student according to gender and year: women start high freshman year and drop down, men start at the bottom but only see their cache rise. And so, as a young freshman girl, I already knew what awaited me -- hag-dom in three short, increasingly wrinkled years.

Colleges across the country are cutting back on technology spending in response to the current economic crisis, according to the results of the Campus Computing Project's 2008 survey, as reported in the Chronicle of Higher Education. The Project, which surveys over 500 colleges and universities, reported that around 29 percent more public universities and nine percent more private colleges indicated decreases in their technology budgets since last year, the Chronicle reported. Even with these setbacks, technology directors continue to expand programs at their institutions, including systems that immediately notify students and faculty about emergencies on campus and programs that detect plagiarism. The need for technological advancements on campuses continues despite the decreases in spending, which has forced colleges to find more economical ways to maintain technology services, according to the Chronicle. According to its web site, Campus Computing Project, started in 1990, is "the largest continuing study of the role of information technology in American higher education."

Earlier this week, Quinnipiac University garnered national attention once again for yet another attack on student journalism on its campus. Last year, the university prohibited the student newspaper, The Quinnipiac Chronicle, from posting news on its web site before its print edition was published and reviewed by administrators looking to censor content that casts the university in a negative light. In response, the paper's editorial staff had no choice but to leave in protest. Those staff members subsequently established Quad News, an independent online newspaper. The university has tried to crush this new publication with even greater vigor, and has placed a gag order on administrators, coaches and even student athletes, prohibiting them from speaking to Quad News.
