Students and staff look toward spring break

By Jordan Trippeer | March 3, 2010

In high school, the shrill sound of the school bell signaled the start of spring break - a break from work, friends, on-again off-again romances, teachers and those stress tests called midterms. Things haven't really changed since then, and spring break is fast approaching. Destinations, such as Florida, Maryland and Louisiana, have inspired students to venture away from campus this year. "Whenever we're on a road trip - driving for however many hours - we always start in-depth conversations about the end of the world," said junior Adam Ferguson.

Behind the syllabus: Stephen Long

By Maria Ribas | March 3, 2010

What do you do during the weekends? My wife and I had our first child (a boy, Grant Thomas Long) in December, so my weekends nowadays are taken up playing with our son, changing his diapers, trying to catch up on lost sleep and sometimes having a conversation or two with my wife when one of us isn't occupied with Grant.

What do you do during the weekends? Find some jazz, go hiking with my wife and pester my Chicago and New York offspring via iChat -- or in person when I can. What's the craziest thing you did when you were in college? I commuted by motorcycle to UCLA from a cool place at the beach, just south of Malibu: my old, inert Ford station wagon.

Web site could provide a new forum for gossip

By Dryden Witman | February 24, 2010

After Juicy Campus shut down on Feb. 5, 2009, the Anonymous Confession Board created a Web site, CollegeACB.com, which gave college students throughout the country the freedom to post about any facet of college life. Although the Web site was intended to promote an open discussion among college communities, Richmond's administration is concerned that it will encompass degrading and explicit discussions similar to those that were on Juicy Campus. Web sites like CollegeACB threaten Richmond's community because they allow anonymous comments, said Joseph Boehman, dean of Richmond College. "When students can write without repercussions, anything can come up," Boehman said.

Valentine's Day at The National

By admin | February 17, 2010

I want to state from the beginning that I am not a fan of Valentine's Day. Why should one day during the year symbolize your feelings for your significant other?
