When in Rome

By Blair Payne | March 1

"Sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite." I know my mother told it to me each night before bed until I was about six years old. I used to lie in bed imagining big red and blue bugs crawling underneath my sheets. After waking up with about a dozen tiny bites all over my arms, I think it's safe to say that bed bugs aren't the gigantic, colorful creatures I once imagined them to be. Instead, they're probably closer to a miniscule size, and probably aren't a cool color like red.

Lacrosse shoots for second straight PL title

By Kevin Hilgers | March 1

It was a season of milestones last year for Women's Lacrosse. The Eagles' record, 11-8 overall, 5-1 in Patriot League play, gave them the most wins in school history. Offensively they weren't bad either, scoring 227 goals and accumulating 96 assists. These factors led to another first - a conference title and a trip to the NCAA Tournament, although that ended abruptly with a 19-3 drubbing at Virginia, the third-largest defeat in tournament history.

By Jeffrey Berman | March 1

Australia's The Living End is about to drop its latest assault on the world March 2, marking its return after a three-year hiatus. But its comeback didn't come without a price.

Good vibes from L.A.

February 26

It has been an interesting semester here in D.C. for name-dropping. Gone are the constant references to "OutKast," "Le Tigre" and "Peaches" among the hipsters. The word is out: The Bronx is what's up this year. After two shows (yes count 'em, two shows) in 2002 The Bronx was on the tips of the tongues, the tops of the wish lists and in the record players of every single record label executive in California.

The Rusty Nail

By L. Russell Allen IV | February 26

Somewhere down the line, February became a month devoted to diversity. This being February and all, I thought it would be appropriate to write a Rusty Nail that dealt with equality, understanding and, of course, brotherhood. Instead, I am forced to write about a place where such ideal values don't exist. A place where the "haves" look down upon the "have-nots" with anger and disgust. Of course, I am speaking of the American University Jacobs Fitness Center.
