Students, faculty and alumni have discovered a place to play games and sports besides the Weinstein Recreation and Wellness Center or the Intramural fields - a place that even has a lake twice the size of Westhampton Lake. Wood N' Racket Farm is a racket club in Gum Spring, Va., about a 30-minute drive from campus.
This week University of Richmond played host to The Actor's Gang -- an unconventional theater troupe directed by the accomplished actor and director Tim Robbins -- who put on a moving performance of "The Trial of the Catonsville Nine." I, along with other Richmond theater students had the chance to participate in a workshop led by The Actors' Gang cast and to talk with Robbins himself. The interactive workshop, held on Monday, gave the students a fabulous look into the techniques used by the actors to create their unique art.

Dear Sally, I take the birth control pill, but I just get so busy that I always seem to forget to take it.
Fifteen students befriended fruit, danced under the control of a voodoo doll and drooled over the sweet-smelling shoulder of a fellow volunteer on Saturday night. The students were all acting from the suggestions of Tom Deluca ? a hypnotist who used the student volunteers during his show at the Robins Center. Courtesy of Dante Fontana/StateHornet.com The skits the students performed occurred because the hypnotism allowed the volunteers to tap into their imaginations ? with encouragement from the audience, Deluca said.

This year's fall season at the University of Richmond Museums opened with the Stanley Boxer exhibit, where splashes of vibrant color accent canvases textured with gritty sand, rough sawdust, bark and sparkling glitter. Elizabeth Stevens, an independent scholar, curated the Boxer exhibit, which was made possible through collaboration between The University of Richmond Museums, the Housatonic Museum of Art and the Boca Raton Museum of Art. Walking through the Stanley Boxer exhibit in the Joel and Lila Harnett Museum in the Modlin Center, there's a significant change in the style of the artwork, which is arranged in chronological order, stretching from 1946 to 2000. Heather Campbell, the University of Richmond's curator of museum programs, and Elizabeth Schlatter, Richmond's deputy director and curator of exhibitions, said Boxer's earlier paintings had been similar to the works of Picasso and Matisse.

That shrubbery by the apartments: Specifically placed along the path to swallow dropped phones, then taunt you as you stomp around searching in them while the neighbors close the blinds. Toilets: One second your phone's in your pocket, the next it's in your poop.

Dear Sally Sexpert, So I always thought wearing one condom was enough, but then I heard that Asher Roth song, "I Love College," and it says, "When it comes to condoms, put two on." Should I seriously be double bagging it? ? DurexDuplex ____________ Dear DurexDuplex, The answer to your question is a big, fat, NO!
