Flyers take 2-0 lead on Maple Leafs

They defeated the New Jersey Devils in the Stanley Cup Quarterfinals, and as of Wednesday morning, the Flyers were leading their semifinal series against the Toronto Maple Leafs 2-0. Both games were played in Philadelphia at the Wachovia Center where the crowds were going so crazy that you would have thought the Flyers just won the Stanley Cup.

Hanson to ‘get up and go’ with new album ‘Underneath’

Six and seven years ago teenage girls all over the world cried, sang, smiled, and screamed for that band who made their hearts flutter. No, the band you're thinking of is not NSync or the Backstreet Boys. It's those long, blond-haired boys who barely have any hair now, Hanson.

FCC censorship over broadcasting debatable issue

The FCC's censorship rules have gone into full effect ever since the Super Bowl incident with Janet Jackson, which occurred in early February. TV shows that were once able to say risqu

A cheap spring break tradition

Spring break is quickly approaching. In just one or two days, many students will be flying to Cancun, Europe, or taking a trip down to the shore. But, there's a place not many people would think of as a spring break hang out. Let me give you a hint: there's lots of books, classrooms, teachers, dorms, etc.

Waning off your regular mindtrack

I know it's been almost two weeks, and everyone and their mother knows about the Janet Jackson breast-baring stunt that happened at the Super Bowl. I personally think that not one more person should write or speak about it. That's why when you read this, you need to understand that I've completely contradicted myself.

One stocking missing this Christmas

Tis the season for shopping, cookies, ornaments, friends, gifts, and most importantly, family. Many students on campus, excluding myself since I'm a commuter, have not seen their families since they were dropped off in late August. But now is the time to go home and see old friends and perform the Christmas traditions you've been doing since you were born.

Good-bye to early Sundays and collection baskets

Each person in my family was baptized Catholic, but that doesn't mean we all practice Catholicism. I've been going to Catholic school since I was five years old. I'm now 20. I was just like every other Catholic school kid growing up. I went to "first Friday" mass with my class, memorized the Act of Contrition while waiting in line for confession, went to mass every Sunday, and said every response on que while staring off into space thinking about what I was going to do that day.

Fireworks and fame for a budding star

When you sit and talk to San Franciscan singer/songwriter Matt Nathanson, you feel like you are talking to a friend you have known since you were five years old. Jeans and a t-shirt, messy/spiky hair, and a nose ring are Nathanson's signature style that has made him stand out from the rest.

Can you hear me now?

It's like an epidemic. Ever since the late '90s, cell phone users have been popping up everywhere. When getting out of class, students can be seen walking around campus either talking to someone they're with or talking on their cell phone. It's something that is seen as so normal and natural now.

The summer’s out of reach

This past summer wasn't exactly the best I've had. Actually, after talking to people on campus it doesn't seem as though many people had a good summer. I was going to go the negative route and just complain about how it rained every other day, but I decided against it, because I realized there were little things that made it just perfect.
