As rush starts tonight for the next week, freshman have a lot of pressing questions to ask themselves.

Like, Is Greek Life for me?

Which fraternity is right for me?

Do I prefer a banana or carrot up my butt? (This is just a joke, there is absolutly no hazing at the University of Delaware, or in the state of Delaware. It is strictly prohibited

For a programing board that usually dissapoints, SCPAB has managed to string together a couple of advance screenings the last two semesters. Tonight The Kingdom staring Jamie Foxx is being shown, and it looks pretty kickass.

Considering the previous screnings were 300 and Knocked Up, it seems the same people who have terrible taste in music hav

A life of doodling sounds amazing. Since most of us doodle during class anyway, how about a class on doodling? Undoubtedly most of the students who'd rush to major in doodling are more aspiring child artist than Picasso. If that allusion even works.

Shedding a "racist reputation" with this year's incoming class, the University of Delaware is making an effort to bring in more old wooden ships that were used in the Civil War era.

But seriously, good for Delaware for picking up affirmative action, by "recruiting from schools with heavy concentrations of minority students" and instituting the

Seems like Celebrity Fit Club and the Shaq Big Challenge had it all wrong. Kids burn more fat, and thus need  to consume more fat, according to a UD-led reasearch group.

For intramural information, go to the Little Bob, and for other activities not

Nothing makes move in day more enjoyable than a good ole' scorcher. And today's weather certainly constituted such a title.

Carrying televisions up narrow Dickinson staircases, waiting in line for the Christiana elevators, or getting books were not only strenuous tasks, but uncomfortably sticky.

As the spirit team returns with first place awards from the 2007 Universal Cheerleaders Association/Universal Dance Association College Spirit Camp, you have to wonder, what about Delaware makes our team the most spirited?

Is it the water? The Fighting Blue Hen instinct? Or the sugar and caffeine that Trabant so kindly distributes to all of us?

While the Dickinson dorms aren't quite that tight, it's still no luxury to be splitting a coffin with someone. Despite the heat, train, and size, the fact remains that this is the freshman life. College is so new and exciting that you don't mind taking the mouse hole in the wall, and upperclassmen don't mind giving them to you.

So as you embark...
