Trick of Trap

October 29, 2007 by Anonymous

For me Halloween is a chance to put my wits (or lack thereof) to the test as I'd go through my closet, sift through all the knick knacks and colorful magazines to find the perfect combination for a costume. One particular year I wore a diaper, took a Jack Daniels bottle, placed a pacifier on the end and went as Baby Huey. Another year I dyed by hair blond, straightened the curls, wore a black shirt with aviators and went as Johnny Bravo. On a college campus, costumes get considerably more colorful as guys try to prove who looks the most like The Crow, the ladies compete over who looks the most revealing in a school girl outfit, and the geeks fight over whose Jedi or Master Chief costume is the most authentic.

Walking in a Winter Wonder Wasteland

October 18, 2007 by Anonymous

Midterms soon, are you studyin'? Snow boots on, are you gellin'? It's beautiful with snow, yet 40 below; walking in a winter wonder wasteland! They say in North Dakota there are two season; winter and road construction and the cute flaggers are gone for the year. The wind chill has returned as has the holy sport of hockey and Wal-Mart is already selling Christmas lights even in the middle of October. For many out-of-state and exchange students at UND, this winter will be the baptism of frost that will pit you against the much colder version of Mother Nature that makes The Day After Tomorrow look like a gentle breeze. The sky can be completely clear yet the still air temperature will be a constant -40 below (before wind chill) for several months at a time freezing your proverbial butt off.

Puff the Magic Smoker and the Horse He Rode in On

October 11, 2007 by Anonymous

It's been a week since the campus-wide smoking ban took effect and the rebels are already out in force. Some smoke near buildings in open defiance, their heads hung high. Others are purchasing expensive cigars at Happy Harry's and are lighting up like millionaires across from campus, a musical ensemble gathered outside of Twamley Hall to conduct a wheezing rendition of "We Shall Overcome" and the pot smokers are in a daze over what to do. Meanwhile the European students had to resort to chewing gum or face "Don't Pass Gas" death squads and their fire extinguishers.

Tis the Season: To Be Chugging

October 8, 2007 by Anonymous

As I walked down University Ave today I stopped to look around. The autumn leaves were strewn across the grounds, the temperature around 60 with a light gentle breeze carrying the crisp aroma of *sniff* beer? I quickly checked the date. Sure enough, it was the first week of October and Oktoberfest was well underway. Few in the United States are aware of the historical origins or cultural significance of Oktoberfest but who cares about weddings between inbreeding aristocrats and German Reunification when you can get lots of cheap beer?! For college students it is a time of fellowship and fun times as they play traditional drinking games such as Drunk Eye for the Sober Girl and Coyote Ugly Peek-A-Boo.

The Year of the Youtube: Humility? Objectivity? A Politician Craves Not These Things!

October 2, 2007 by Anonymous

During my layover between classes on a quiet Tuesday afternoon I found myself flipping through the channels. Not having enough time to watch Babylon 5 and a really kewl documentary on the History Channel about Skittles, I turned on the news to see what corporate America thought was interesting in the world today. As expected (and to the delight of my creative writing) the news anchors on FoxNews, MSNBC and CNN took time away from the War in Iraq and the immigration issue to talk about more colorful and intellectually informative topics such as the child custody battle between Kevin Federline and Britney Spears or David Letterman's "grilling" of Paris Hilton on The Late Show which gained 2.7 million hits on YouTube.
