Basketball seasons end with victories over Chicago
The Washington University men’s and women’s basketball teams ended their seasons in style on Saturday, winning their final games against University Athletic Association (UAA) rival University of Chicago at home in front of 592 faithful Bear fans. The 69-60 men’s victory secured them a third place finish in the UAA with a final record of 16-9, 8-6 UAA.
Arbiter Elegantiarum
What is Washington University in the age of iPods, reality television and Paris Hilton? What was it ever? Well, when I first visited the school during my senior year of high school, I remember remarking to my mother how oddly thin and “normal” all of the students appeared to be.
Campus Spotlight: SAGE
While many students are recovering from their Friday nights, members of Service Across Generations (SAGE) are where the real party’s at: the University City Manor Nursing Home. Every Saturday morning, the group hangs out and occasionally rocks out with the nursing home’s residents.
Notes from Guatemala
I have been in Guatemala for a little over a month now. My experiences in Antigua, Guatemala and other parts where I have traveled have been unbelievable learning experiences. Not a day has gone by in which I have not seen or experienced something new. Guatemala is a remarkably beautiful country.
My hometown
What was it like growing up Cooper City? I knew everyone in my neighborhood. It was fun because we had a Founders’ Day parade, which I was in, and there are fun events that the whole town gathers for. Everyone goes to the same high school. It’s the kind of place where everyone complains that there’s nothing to do but go to the mall, but you just have to make your own fun.
Wash U today: by the books
It would be pointless to write about what it’s like on this campus now-after all, we’re all here. We know about the new Bear’s Den, weekends on the Loop and life in St. Louis. What else is there to life at Wash U than what we students already know? In fact, there’s a plethora of information about life on the Wash U campus, and it can’t be found on the South 40 or in Brookings.
E-mail arrives on campus: The ’90s
When Amy L. DuVall got off of the Metro in Washington, D.C., something on the saxophone case of a street performer caught her eye. It was a bright pink Vintage Vinyl sticker. Amy immediately thought of the popular store on the Loop in St. Louis and of her college days at Washington University.
Mullets and burgers at the Rat: The ’80s
When Wash U’s current students were learning how to read and ride bikes and the Rubik’s Cube and Michael Jackson’s jackets were major trends, the average person was even more likely to think Washington University was located on the Pacific coast or the nation’s capital.
The politically-charged ’70s
Was Wash U the disco-hoppin’, party-never-stoppin’, research university in the 1970s that it is today? Not exactly, but it was a center for political and civil rights activism in the Midwest, and was in the midst of developing into a top-tier school. Fall 1970: Wash U was, as one alumnus says, a “very politically charged” campus.
