Beware of booty calls: When sex becomes serious

By Dave Stone | March 27

G. Love said "ain't nothing wrong with the booty call," and he was right when he said, "Everybody want a booty call now and then." It is the best of both worlds: You get laid and you don't have to deal with the strain and pressure of a relationship. This is not to say that we should live our whole lives jumping from one booty call to another.

Staff Editorial: Another pointless poll

March 27

No matter how the pundits spin it, the recent Rock the Vote poll that depicts Americans between the ages of 18 and 30 as more concerned about the economy than the Iraq war is both unsurprising and insignificant. Although we'd be remiss to admit that the economy is in serious trouble, the poll's results are largely contaminated by its timing.

Women's world hidden in Morocco

By Carolyn Phenicie | March 27

Sure, it's a cliché immortalized in Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi," but it's true: You don't know what you got 'til it's gone. While studying abroad this semester, this concept has manifested itself in losses ranging from the trivial, like the loss of Saturday afternoon reruns of "America's Next Top Model" (sometimes you just need a little runway coaching from Miss Jay, or life wisdom from Tyra Banks), to what I experienced on a five-day trip to Morocco in early March: The loss of women in public life.
