Beta hosts nonalcoholic programs, social events

(11/24/08 9:27am)

Before most fraternities began pong tournaments, cocktail events and dance parties one Saturday night this term, guests at Beta Alpha Omega fraternity practiced more coordinated footwork at the fraternity-hosted tango workshop that afternoon. Beta, which must remain dry through Winter term, has hosted a number of nonalcoholic programming events this term, as the new chapter attempts to redefine itself after its 1996 derecognition by the College, according to fraternity member Kadian Campbell '11.

It doesn't help that the actress -- a luminous beauty, with more than a little talent lurking behind her porcelain features -- carries the dubious mantle of a teeny-bopper idol, courtesy of her early work in the "Princess Diaries" franchise (2001).







Cause For Caution

(11/24/08 9:03am)

We waited with the rest of the world, glued to a muted television in one of Barcelona's English pubs, growing hoarse from yelling at Wolf Blitzer. The place was packed with students, as well as Spaniards, Britons and Belgians -- all concerned citizens. I'd like to report that we stayed up on election night until the tipping point, but the results were slow in coming and our first class on Wednesday was early.
