In the coming days and weeks at Boston College, you may notice an increasing number of people hopping from ledge to ledge in front of Walsh, casually vaulting over the wall in front of Devlin on their way to class, or scaling the stairs behind Higgins. No, the admissions office didn't favor gymnasts and acrobats when selecting the incoming class; this is the result of two brothers - Matt Milano, LSOE '11, and Greg Milano, A&S '11 - bringing parkour to BC.

I was the token gay guy at my all-boys Jesuit high school, the only openly non-straight member of the student body. Along with that openness came the inevitable slew of insults that stream from the mouths of conservative, Catholic young men. I was the "faggot," the "homo," the "fairy," the "cocksucker.

With average gas prices in Boston at nearly $3.45 per gallon, according to AAA's website, transportation in an already expensive city is no bargain, especially for college students on limited budgets.
Although bicycles and public transportation are less expensive than owning a car in the city, some people in the Boston area have been turning to an increasingly popular alternative: scooters.

Her friends keep insisting she take a break to eat, but Amanda Parker is more concerned with feeding the 4-year-olds surrounding her than acknowledging her empty stomach.
She's checking in on the other volunteers and replenishing the empty snack bowls as if it is a compulsion.

"Your mission, should you choose to accept it, and you will, is to finish all these beers. In under five minutes. Naked."
Hazing takes many forms on the Boston College campus. This example above, although fictitious, is not totally exaggerated. Consuming large amounts of alcohol, sometimes in embarrassing or compromising situations, is not an unusual event.

The economy is in a slump. Job opportunities are scarce. What's a Brown graduate to do? Start a sex Web site, of course.
Rufus Griscom '91 graduated into a floundering economy. He says many of his classmates were faced with the reality that their ambitions of landing a lucrative job would have to be sidelined, at least for the time being.

My mom recently asked me to explain how this financial crisis happened. I didn't have a great answer, so I decided to draw an analogy and then take from there.
Subprime lending is kind of like an ice cream truck lending money to kids to buy ice cream during a hot summer - even if their allowances don't support that kind of spending.

"It is an anxious time. A worrisome time. Probably even a dangerous time. It's a historic time. A time that we will be teaching about in our classrooms for some time." And so began Dean Jay Light presenting to a packed Burden Auditorium on Tuesday, September 23 for "Turmoil on the Street: Fathoming the Financial Crisis", a panel discussion featuring University Professor Robert Merton, Professor David Moss, Lecturer Nicolas Retsinas, and Senior Lecturer Clayton Rose.

As human beings we have the tendency to identify, group and characterize. Too often we allow our affiliation, whether racial, economic or religious, to limit us instead of allowing it to help us in the fight to expand ourselves. No one person can dictate to another how to find that route, since our similar hearts grow in unique ways and under unique circumstances.

There does not seem to be anything as tricky as free speech. The idea that we can say whatever we want, whenever we want, and say it without being imprisoned is liberating - liberating, but at the same time horribly complicated. Should everyone have free speech? Do we have the right to limit free speech? These, as well as many others, were some of the questions that were brought up at the "Free Speech or Hate Speech" panel that was held on Wednesday, Sept.

NORTHAMPTON, Mass. - It may come as a surprise that the off-beat, down-to-earth, eclectic town of Northampton, Mass., is opening an Urban Outfitters, a store many find unnecessary and obtrusive while others are excited for the grand opening.
The Pennsylvania-based clothing store, founded in 1970, has over 140 shops worldwide, including locations in Ireland and Sweden.
