			<title><![CDATA[No Parking]]></title>
			<description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.collegeotr.com/images/blogs/062148d2bde638958756193446468d43.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you're a commuter student with a car, you know - there are not enough parking spaces in either the Theater or Athletics lot for parking. And it is absurd.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Today I had to drive to school - something I usually avoid due to not only to the lack of available spaces, but also none of the assigned student lots are anywhere near my classes - and in order to get a space (not even a good one!)&amp;nbsp;I had to leave my house half an hour before my first class. This means I&amp;nbsp;was searching for a parking spot at 9:40am and at that point, the Athletics lot was already 75% full. I&amp;nbsp;found a spot - and then had to hike up the hill that is Brandeis University in order to get to my class located in&amp;nbsp;Rabb. I arrived a few minutes early, out of breath, with my nose running and my ears aching due to the unanticipated harshness of the 50 degree weather. This is not OK. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For starters:&amp;nbsp;students pay an incredible amount of money to go to school here - give them, all of them, somewhere (dare I&amp;nbsp;say reasonable) to park. When there are not enough parking places, we are forced to park in the many empty spaces reserved for staff and faculty around campus (that are, by the way, much closer to our classes/on campus jobs). Then, we get a ticket for upwards of $20, even though we have already paid between $65 and $125 for a parking pass. A friend of mine faced this dilemma today - she ended up parking in Tower lot when there were absolutely no spaces in either of the commuter lots - and got a ticket. Angry, she took her ticket to the parking office where she proceeded to get into an argument with the resident cranky parking lady. What's worse is that she was told that when both Athletics and Theater lots are full, commuters should park in&amp;nbsp;J&amp;nbsp;lot - which is a&amp;nbsp; parking lot across the railroad tracks, not remotely on campus. YEAH&amp;nbsp;RIGHT!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A significant number of spaces in the commuter lots are being occupied by construction vehicles or are reserved for admissions parking - no additional permits have been issued for commuter students (not even those who have high level on-campus jobs!!), making the parking crunch even more difficult. J-lot is honestly not a reasonable alternative - so where do I&amp;nbsp;go?&amp;nbsp;When I can't get dropped off by one of my housemates, I have to stand outside in the cold and wait for the shuttle that supposedly stops several blocks away from my house (It has yet to arrive on schedule), walk, go to school 30+ minutes early to try and find parking and then walk, or face a $20 ticket every time I&amp;nbsp;need to park in a reasonable location on campus. Give me a break.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you agree that Brandeis needs to do something about the lack of parking spaces for commuter students (hey, why not give some permits for the lot behind North Quad??), feel free to email Ed Callahan or contact the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.brandeis.edu/departments/public_safety/tele.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Office of&amp;nbsp;Public Safety&lt;/a&gt;. Maybe you too will get to talk to the cranky parking office lady!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

			<title><![CDATA[&amp;quot;McLovin&amp;quot; Visits UGA Tommorrow Night]]></title>
			<description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.collegeotr.com/images/blogs/1189c3df5cb6d644a773c6a8b86bf377.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium&quot;&gt;Yup, the hilariously awkward Christopher Mintz-Plasse, better known as &amp;quot;McLovin&amp;quot;, will be all around Athens this Tuesday. Better yet, he will be hosting a &lt;strong&gt;FREE&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;viewing of his upcoming film. While he's best known for his role in &lt;em&gt;Superbad&lt;/em&gt;, he will be promoting his new&amp;nbsp;comedy &lt;em&gt;Role Models &lt;/em&gt;(costarring Paul Rudd and Sean William Scott).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium&quot;&gt;He'll start his promotional tour of Athens at the Delta Sigma Phi fraternity house (on Milledge) around 6:30.&amp;nbsp;The first 100 guests will&amp;nbsp;receive free food. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium&quot;&gt;After dinner he will attend a free&amp;nbsp;advanced screening of &lt;em&gt;Role Models &lt;/em&gt;at Beechwood Cinemas. It is expected to start at 8:00. Even cooler, he's going to stay there after the movie for a &lt;strong&gt;Q&amp;amp;A and poster signing&lt;/strong&gt;. You can get your free ticket at the Tate Ticket office. I suggest going early Tuesday because they may sell out by the end of the day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium&quot;&gt;If you can't get tickets to see the movie, just head to Sideways bar downtown, because he ends his lone night&amp;nbsp;in Athens there after the Q&amp;amp;A. If you haven't been to Sideways it's on Broad Street and is really cool (the outdoor area on the roof is pretty unique). Plus, things are sure to get crazy with McLovin in the building. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium&quot;&gt;I&amp;nbsp;also heard today that Sideways isn't having a cover like they often do, so you could potentially see Christopher 3 times without spending a dime. Not a bad way to spend a Tuesday night. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

			<title><![CDATA[Rutgers: There's Always Next Time]]></title>
			<description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.collegeotr.com/images/blogs/0ea3c8d2e79242a5ad9566d3c8b974a7.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;So, our away game in West Virginia did not reward us with another victory this season, but it's only the Big East opener. The 24-17 defeat by the West Virginia Mountaineers was not a humiliating one, to say the least.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I will refrain from poking fun at our football team until the end of the season, but hopefully I will not have to. Our wide receiver Kenny Britt was named to the Big East weekly honor roll after 12 receptions for 151 yard during the West Virginia game, maybe he will help win the next game against Cincinnati Bearcats on 10/11.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

			<title><![CDATA[NCAA Soccer is a Wild Ride, No One There To See It]]></title>
			<description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.collegeotr.com/images/blogs/939a39632f7f2f5106118356280200e6.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;We hear a lot about football stateside, but what about that sport the fancy people in Europe call football, soccer? This year, NCAA soccer has been quite surprising on the west coast, with &lt;strong&gt;UC Davis and UC Irvine &lt;/strong&gt;showing that they&amp;rsquo;re better than the No. 17 and No. 18 rankings they received.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://soccernet.espn.go.com/columns/story?id=579671&amp;amp;sec=ncaa&amp;amp;root=ncaa&amp;amp;&amp;amp;cc=5901&quot;&gt;According to ESPN:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;It's not a shocker to see two UC's in the top 20, but who could have imagined it would be No. 17 UC Davis and No. 18 UC Irvine?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Sure, the Anteaters will probably slip after losing to UCSB, but they remain the No. 18 team until at least Tuesday. The loss certainly doesn't spell the end for Irvine, which will have its chance for redemption (teams play each other twice in the Big West) on Nov. 1. Of course, the Anteaters will have to pull off the win at Harder Stadium -- something many teams have tried and few have accomplished. The No. 22 Gauchos are 54-7-5 at home since 2002. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
As for UCLA, which started the year with a No. 14 preseason ranking and dropped steadily before falling out of the polls in mid-September, things aren't so good. The Bruins are a struggling 2-3-5. Consistency from season to season has been an issue in Westwood, and the roller coaster continues. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
But the Bruins aren't the only California team facing its share of problems after being tabbed as an early contender. Santa Clara, another preseason favorite -- the No. 5 pick -- has completely fallen off the map, going 2-5-2. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So looks like it&amp;rsquo;s gonna be a crap shoot this year with college soccer. Now, the question is, when are Americans gonna start caring?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

			<title><![CDATA[ND Students Stage Gitmo Protest: Lose Liberal Street Cred]]></title>
			<description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.collegeotr.com/images/blogs/51723a756d319c08b6864f07a5cc0937.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Last Friday, about eight ND students in orange jumpsuits, black hoods over their heads, and bounded hands surrounded themselves in chicken wire to protest U.S. actions at the military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One of the demonstrators said the experience of being &amp;quot;imprisoned&amp;quot; for four hours was pretty intense. Yeah, I bet she was just terrified when she put up the 3 foot high chicken-wire fence herself, and voluntarily stood inside it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to the Observer, the President of Human Rights &amp;ndash; ND said, &amp;quot;The basic goal was to make it as shocking as possible.&amp;quot; I respect the efforts of these students to try to increase public discussion of the detention and torture of prisoners at Guantanamo, but other than forcing a poor sense of fashion on the captives, the demonstration did little to shockingly convey the brutality of indefinite torture and captivity at Guantanamo Bay.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Liberal protests have absolutely no street cred at Notre Dame, and I&amp;rsquo;m sure protestors of the &amp;lsquo;60s would have laughed at the pathetic attempt. What kind of protest that doesn&amp;rsquo;t end in rubber bullets and smoke grenades has ever made a difference? How is a silent protest supposed to even get people talking about the issue? I applaud the intention, but criticize the enthusiasm. Go big or go home.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I know I&amp;rsquo;ll get some hate for criticizing these Libbies, but they should thank me; as they packed up and left, I had to stop a bunch of Alumni from calling the police on a group of escaped convicts with a predilection for stealing chicken wire. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

			<title><![CDATA[Alcohol Violations on the Rise at Princeton, Public Safety Cracking Down on Fun]]></title>
			<description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.collegeotr.com/images/blogs/661f9b05adbdaad8da7bedb2dfea0ab0.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Last week, Princeton Public Safety released their 2008 Annual Security Report, and as it turns out, Princetonians aren&amp;rsquo;t innocent nerd-saints, after all. They&amp;rsquo;re alcohol-guzzling deviants &amp;ndash; well, just a small handful of them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to the report, the number of alcohol-related violations on campus increased from 20 in 2006 to a whopping 120 in 2007, a magnitude of six.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At first glance, the spike may suggest that debauchery is on the rise at the school, but it&amp;rsquo;s actually not. The surge in reported on-campus violations is a direct result of the administration&amp;rsquo;s increased efforts to actively police alcohol consumption.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In other words, Princeton students aren&amp;rsquo;t drinking more; they&amp;rsquo;re simply getting caught more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.dailyprincetonian.com/2008/10/06/21667/&quot;&gt;The Daily Princetonian&lt;/a&gt; reports:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;In a footnote to the Annual Security Report, [Director of Public Safety Steven] Healy explained that the increase in incidents reported in the 2007 calendar year for liquor-law violations is largely a result of the University&amp;rsquo;s implementation of a number of initiatives to address high-risk drinking, including Residential Hall Patrol (RHP) by Public Safety and closer monitoring of residential facilities.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Herbold, a member of the Alcohol Coalition Committee, said the rise in the number of incidents might be due to the presence of RHPs, but not to the new guidelines announced last fall requiring RCAs to break up parties and report intoxicated students.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sorry, Princetonians. You&amp;rsquo;re no longer safe drinking in the comforts of your dormitory.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strike&gt;Big Brother&lt;/strike&gt; Public Safety is watching you at all times &amp;ndash; even when you masturbate.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

			<title><![CDATA[UGA Former Wide Receiver Ike Whitaker In Trouble Again]]></title>
			<description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.collegeotr.com/images/blogs/66e9ca74e80b58b8631b435f1beda4ac.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ike Whitaker can&amp;rsquo;t get a break. Just last Wednesday, the Virginia Tech wide receiver was suspended indefinitely from the team for missing a wide receivers meeting.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now he&amp;rsquo;s facing more troubles. Whitaker was arrested Friday for public swearing and intoxication charges. The crimes are not new to the troubled athlete, who was arrested on exactly the same charges in 2006, though the case was dismissed. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With these string of problems, it&amp;rsquo;s no surprise Whitaker isn&amp;rsquo;t so happy. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.collegiatetimes.com/stories/2008/10/06/whitaker_arrested_again&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Collegiate Times&lt;/a&gt; spoke with the footballer after the suspension: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The red-shirt junior from Germantown, Md, told the Collegiate Times in an interview last Thursday would be considering his options after his most recent suspension. Whitaker expressed frustration after Beamer's decision.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;I shouldn't have missed the meeting but I shouldn't have been suspended from the team because there's a number of people that miss meetings all the time,&amp;quot; Whitaker said. &amp;quot;I have some decisions I have to make about what I want to do about schools, if I want to stay or here or if I want to transfer.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Add the new intoxication and public swearing charges to the suspension and things aren&amp;rsquo;t looking good for the athlete. Don&amp;rsquo;t be surprised if the Whitaker ends up saying a big fuck you to Virginia Tech and hitting the road.&lt;br /&gt;

			<title><![CDATA[Tufts Dining Hall Worker Has Heart Attack, Passes Away]]></title>
			<description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.collegeotr.com/images/blogs/246c623cf8b75171a578699d206ee9d6.gif&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;When I heard about this last night, I was reluctant to report on it until I knew certain details.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to the &lt;em&gt;Tufts Daily&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;a worker at Dewick-MacPhie collapsed last night during his shift from a heart attack, and was not able to recover. Last night EMTs and other medical personnel rushed into Dewick to save the man's life. Details are being sorted out, and if we find out anything certain, we will let you know. OTR shares deepest sympathies with the friends, family, and loved ones of one who served the Tufts Community.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;More to come. Share your thoughts below.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

			<title><![CDATA[Talk On Responsible Journalism Tonight]]></title>
			<description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.collegeotr.com/images/blogs/bd88f27769c7849d8cce19131c1d3faa.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Siobhain Butterworth of London's &lt;em&gt;The Guardian&lt;/em&gt; speaks tonight at Cowles Auditorium on the West Bank, regarding ethical reporting and self-regulation of journalists in a digital age. The event, titled &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.silha.umn.edu/events.htm&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Raise Your Hand if You&amp;rsquo;re a Journalist: Does Responsible Reporting Need a Legal Defense?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/a&gt; begins at 7 PM, followed by a Q&amp;amp;A portion and&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;light refreshments&amp;quot; (probably implying you'll need to bring your own flask).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In an age of free-for-all internet journalism and pseudo-reporting done by marginally-qualified writers on college-themed hub sites, this topic raises some interesting questions about the state of journalism in the digital world. Butterworth will touch on topics such as gonzo journalism and the advent of style vs. substance. The event is marked under the letter Y for Yellow (as in &amp;quot;Yellow Journalism&amp;quot;, look it up) on the U's &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www1.umn.edu/twincities/arttoz.php&quot;&gt;Art to Z&lt;/a&gt; info page, which makes clever use of the alphabet by using letters to represent stuff that is happening. This event is free and open to the public.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

			<title><![CDATA[OTR Exclusive: Lauren and Heidi Reunite for The Hills Finale?]]></title>
			<description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.collegeotr.com/images/blogs/9d1ff95889cf5c57ec2e83b729c98e28.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have a confession to make: I used to be a huge &lt;em&gt;Hills&lt;/em&gt; fan, a &lt;em&gt;Hills&lt;/em&gt;pert if you will. But recently, I've realized that &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1595393/story.jhtml&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Charlize Theron is right&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;The show is about NOTHINGGGGG! But maybe that's why I'm so mesmerized. Why waste my time watching something, when&amp;nbsp;I can waste my time watching nothing?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But ratings have been going down hill for &lt;em&gt;The Hills&lt;/em&gt; ever since the explosive and brilliant Lauren/Heidi/&amp;quot;You know what you did!&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;confrontation. Our source (an NU&amp;nbsp;student interning at MTV&amp;nbsp;development) now confirms that producers are &lt;a href=&quot;http://remotecontrol.mtv.com/2008/10/06/lc-publicly-declares-shes-not-a-bad-friend-a-slut-and-a-liar/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;desperate for more drama&lt;/a&gt; to make the show the sensation it once was way before everyone realized it was about NOTHINGGGGG and they had to rely on carefully-applied black mascara tears. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The drama du jour? Lauren is a &amp;quot;slut&amp;quot; and a &amp;quot;liar&amp;quot; and hooked up with Audrina's part-time lover (full-time sketchball) JustinBobby. Lauren's response? &amp;quot;Ew.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Even more controversial&amp;nbsp;(not really), producers are slowly but surely crafting a Lauren and Heidi reunion and the end of Speidi for the season 4 finale. Because, even in real life, things always come full circle.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

			<title><![CDATA[Off-Campus Housing Can Be a B*tch]]></title>
			<description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.collegeotr.com/images/blogs/c1ac4083da5fcb017ecc6cd7877d0697.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are probably a lot of you out there who are starting to look around for housing opportunities outside of the dorms or frats/sororities. There are a lot of different directions you can go, so I wanted to open up the comment boards a bit for people to talk about the places they rent from and their landlord situations. From my experience, it seems that the fewer properties a landlord has the better quality of service you are going to get. This contradicted my earlier assumption that a company who owns more properties has more staff and is more professional, but that&amp;rsquo;s usually not the case. Also make sure to make copies and document everything, you don&amp;rsquo;t want the Zaki Alawis (Michigan Rental, check facebook &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#/group.php?gid=2201303622&amp;amp;ref=mf&quot;&gt;&amp;lsquo;fan club&amp;rsquo;&lt;/a&gt;) of Ann Arbor taking pre-existing damages off of your security deposit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the end we&amp;rsquo;re just college kids and big dollar signs to these people. We move in and move out, they keep the property (unless we burn it down). Make sure you address any and all problems and get it sorted out before you sign a lease (you might want to actually read it too&amp;hellip; or have daddy do it, it&amp;rsquo;s all good). With that being said, I wish you all good luck in finding a place and an &amp;ldquo;I told you so&amp;rdquo; when Prime or Wilson White takes a week to fix your heating. &lt;br /&gt;

			<title><![CDATA[So Much to Say About UNC vs. UConn]]></title>
			<description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.collegeotr.com/images/blogs/977689026433210905947348ed178b20.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wow.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; Let's just start with that.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This past Saturday, the UNC&amp;nbsp;Tar Heels obliterated then-No. 24 UConn 38-12. Yes, Tar Heel Football defeated a ranked team.&amp;nbsp; By a lot.&amp;nbsp; Wow.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Carolina's pride in its improving football team is clear. The game on Saturday was packed.&amp;nbsp; As written in &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.dailytarheel.com/news/features/fan_excitement_grows&quot;&gt;The Daily Tar Heel&lt;/a&gt;, only 500 tickets were left unsold. And unlike at previous games this season, Kenan stadium was a sea of Carolina Blue.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Even the basketball team (or at least select members of the basketball team) showed some school spirit and finally showed up to a game in Carolina gear. More impressive than that, however, was that when the basketball team walked into Kenan, late as usual, the crowd did not stop to cheer for them as they passed by the stands--the crowd was too busy cheering for the football team as they took the field. After their victory last week against Miami, the football team deserved the attention.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And talk about an exciting game. Personally, after last season, I never thought I would live to see the day that the Heels crushed an opponent--let alone a ranked opponent--by such a large margin.&amp;nbsp; The cheerleaders better start working on those push-ups if they plan to keep up with the score of the game.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of course, what would a game at Kenan stadium be without a random delay? This time it wasn't lightening taking out the scoreboard or severe weather delaying the game, but the two sets of lights on the north side of the stadium turning out in the middle of the game. So what better to do than start a more than enthusiastic wave going around the stadium?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now, for the first time since 2001, the Tar Heels are ranked. A win next week against Notre Dame may not warrant the Heels moving up any farther than &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/rankingsindex&quot;&gt;No. 22 in the AP&amp;nbsp;poll&lt;/a&gt;, but at least Tar Heel Football can finally say it has a number next to their name.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

			<title><![CDATA[Seth MacFarlane and Jay Leno!? What a Weekend!]]></title>
			<description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.collegeotr.com/images/blogs/433b982e75c24150c29ca586374db310.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;What a weekend it was here at &lt;strong&gt;Miami University&lt;/strong&gt;! Actually, to be more specific, what a Saturday it was. Two major events went down and you'd have to be a sucker to miss these gems!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At 6:00pm Saturday afternoon at Uptown Park, the creator of Family Guy &lt;strong&gt;Seth MacFarlane&lt;/strong&gt; came to speak to a crowd of flaming liberals, courtesy of the College Democrats. Shortly after Seth MacFarlane's little event would finish,&lt;strong&gt; Jay Leno&lt;/strong&gt; would be getting on stage for his Family Weekend Set.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So what do I have to report to you about the Mr. MacFarlane and Leno's visit? Absolutely nothing. Why? Because I went to &lt;strong&gt;Yager Stadium&lt;/strong&gt; to cheer on our already floundering Pop-Warner football team against Temple. Yes, Temple, the team a few years back that was always on ESPN.com's bottom 5.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After watching Temple score what would end up being their game winning touchdowns, I&amp;nbsp;decided enough was enough and that I'd go grab some grub. Of course I had forgotten about MacFarlane's visit and I got their just in time to see a College Democrat leading the modest mob in a &amp;quot;Yes We Can!&amp;quot; chant, while MacFarlane stood on the side lines cheering along. So&amp;nbsp;i really can't tell you all how it went. If you're a Miami student, though, feel free to comment since I was too busy watching a team that might not even give the &lt;strong&gt;Little Giants&lt;/strong&gt; a game.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And how was Leno, you ask? Well I didn't go, but my reasoning is a bit better. First of all, as Homer Simpson put it so eloquently at the beginning of &lt;em&gt;The Simpsons Movie&lt;/em&gt;, you'd have to be an idiot to pay - &lt;em&gt;especially the $40 it cost!&lt;/em&gt; - to see something you can watch for free on TV. So what were the reviews I&amp;nbsp;heard?&amp;nbsp;I heard that Leno is apparently better on TV (assuming you even like him in the first place) and he only had a few good jokes. Sounds like the parents that actually came down for Family Weekend got snubbed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Luckily for me I chose to watch the Ohio State game with my friends instead of paying a ridiculous FORTY BUCKS to see Leno. At least I&amp;nbsp;could cheer for an Ohio team that can win a damn ball game.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So feel free to berate me all you want for my in ability to pick the rights events to attend, but remember tonight to go to the &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.collegeotr.com/miami_university_oxford/larry_wilmore_speaking_at_miami_12323&quot;&gt;Election 2008&lt;/a&gt; lecture with Larry Wilmore. Tomorrow I'll write you all an amazing review of the event followed by my opinion on Tuesday night's debate to be featured on Wednesday.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

			<title><![CDATA[Brown Alumnus Discovers the Secret to Surviving an Economic Crisis: Sex and Parenthood]]></title>
			<description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.collegeotr.com/images/blogs/6a4b1d9a22c8797ed9011360c84bc1a3.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;In times of severe economic downturns, there are very few industries capable of remaining unscathed. The sex industry, however, is one that can, because there&amp;rsquo;s no better way to cheer oneself up than by reading, seeing and/or participating in sexual debauchery.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rufus Griscom, Brown &amp;rsquo;91, graduated into an ailing economy, but after spending a few years hopping around the country as a vagabond, he discovered that &amp;ldquo;sex sells&amp;rdquo; and opened Nerve.com, a site devoted to sex, in 1997 with a small staff of three.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since then, the site, which is more informational than pornographic in nature, has grown to have a dedicated readership of nearly 1.2 million visitors a month, all of whom Griscom hopes to eventually reach with his latest business venture Babble, a site devoted to parenting and culture.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://media.www.browndailyherald.com/media/storage/paper472/news/2008/10/06/Features/Grads.Sex.And.Parenting.Sites.Flourish-3471069.shtml&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Brown Daily Herald&lt;/a&gt; reports:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;And Babble, &amp;quot;the graduating class of Nerve,&amp;quot; maintains its own edge. Eschewing traditional parenting magazine models of a sunshine filled, cookie-baking household, Griscom says, &amp;quot;Babble is about the reality of the parenting experience - and the reality is that it's hard, but that it's also very funny and joyful.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Since its launch in December 2006, Babble has grown into a forum for young parents in urban settings, drawing in nearly 1.5 million visits per month. Babble features discussion boards, personal blogs and articles that look at raising children from the perspective of a new generation that has been influenced by a scientific and technological revolution and is skeptical of parenting cliches, according to the site's mission statement.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And so, from sex to parenthood, Griscom has all the bases of adulthood covered -- except for how the rest of us suffering from the financial crisis can survive it too.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

			<title><![CDATA[Columbia Kicks Off Queer Awareness Month]]></title>
			<description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.collegeotr.com/images/blogs/e089e9193690f5d70596c1b43e33163e.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Even if you missed the opening reception and First Friday Dance, here are 5 great reasons to be aware this month:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;5. So much free food!&amp;nbsp;Check out the full calendar of events &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.columbia.edu/cu/quam/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4. Most people know about the debates regarding homosexuality in Christianity, but what about other religions?&amp;nbsp;Learn more about LGBT Muslims and Jews on October 17th and 18th, respectively.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. Be a kid again with sidewalk chalk and hot cocoa at the October 10th Chalk &amp;amp; Choc event.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. Even if student performances don't get you excited, a screening of &amp;quot;Beyond Beats and Rhymes&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;and a discussion with Talib Kweli should. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. Debates about the possible return of ROTC have made the Don't Ask Don't Tell policy a hot topic on campus. Nationally, McCain and Obama differ sharply over LGBT&amp;nbsp;rights policies, and a handful of states will also vote on marriage amendments on November 4. Get informed with a College Dems-College Republicans debate and then the presidential debate on October 15. &lt;/p&gt;</description>

			<title><![CDATA[Top Ten Clubs Songs That Need To Be Retired At Virginia Tech]]></title>
			<description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.collegeotr.com/images/blogs/df813613533d8d6582c140353b33c6b9.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am so sick of hearing the same damn songs at the O.C (Oge-Chi&amp;rsquo;s, Virginia Tech's only club).  Or maybe it&amp;rsquo;s because the dance moves that people feel they have to do since the song is on.  Anyone else feel this way too?  Here are the top ten songs (though I'm sure there are plenty more) that need to give it a rest already.  DJ, quit that track.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;10.  &lt;strong&gt;Lil Jon- Snap your fingers:&lt;/strong&gt; How OLD is this song, seriously.  Enough said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9.  &lt;strong&gt;Three 6 Mafia- Stay fly&lt;/strong&gt;: I gotta stay high, till I die.  I mean, the lyrics are awesome, clearly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
8.  &lt;strong&gt;Rihanna- Please Don't Stop the Music&lt;/strong&gt;: Yeah this song was good&amp;hellip;but since this song came out I think Rihanna had about 20 new songs produced.  Keep Rihanna, change the song.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
7.  &lt;strong&gt;Usher- Love in this club:&lt;/strong&gt; Why is it that when this song is on, people feel that it&amp;rsquo;s okay to make out in the corner of the club?  Friggin disgusting.  People need to find a better pick up line/ice breaker than this song.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
6.&lt;strong&gt;  Kanye West- Golddigger&lt;/strong&gt;: I hate when this song comes on and all the actual golddiggers in the crowd get defensive when their friends call them out, but they still dance.  It&amp;rsquo;s kind of funny, but it&amp;rsquo;s getting overdone.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
5.  &lt;strong&gt;Flo Rida&lt;/strong&gt;- &lt;strong&gt;Low&lt;/strong&gt;: I swear, if I see another girl try to touch her butt on the floor when the chorus comes on, I&amp;rsquo;m never going to O.C again.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
4.  &lt;strong&gt;Soulja Boy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;- Superman:&lt;/strong&gt; I&amp;rsquo;m just sick of seeing people move people out of the way so they can do the dance.  Dude, this song needs to go, people.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
3.  &lt;strong&gt;Kanye West- Flashing Lights&lt;/strong&gt;: It&amp;rsquo;s weird but this song almost always gets simultaneously played with Rihanna&amp;rsquo;s Please Don&amp;rsquo;t Stop the Music.  So therefore, DJ&amp;rsquo;s need to let go of this song.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
2.  &lt;strong&gt;Yung Joc- It's Goin' Down:&lt;/strong&gt; You know, the motorcycle dance to this song isn&amp;rsquo;t what bothers me.  It&amp;rsquo;s the fact that the ones who choose to do the dance at the club&amp;hellip;don&amp;rsquo;t fricken know when to do it.  I&amp;rsquo;m saying, if you&amp;rsquo;re going to do the dance, do it correctly and promptly.  It&amp;rsquo;s simple, when in doubt, don&amp;rsquo;t dance out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1.  &lt;strong&gt;UNK- Walk it Out&lt;/strong&gt;:  Where do I begin?  I&amp;rsquo;m mad ABDC (America&amp;rsquo;s Best Dance Crew) brought this song back.  Now this song will never get retired.  Thanks, Mario Lopez.  I blame you.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well there you have it.&amp;nbsp; I hope the DJ at OC reads this blog and does something with the music.&amp;nbsp; Oh and one more thing...guys, just because you know the song, doesn't make it okay for you to sing it/rap it in the girl's ear. &amp;nbsp;So not hot.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
