The More, The Merrier
ick a cultural event on campus, be it Carnaval, Black Anthology or the bubble tea promotion on the 40. Then, take a look around. More often than not, the number of attendants that are of the culture being celebrated is larger than the number of attendants who do not identify with that culture. This can, to an extent, be expected. When one’s identity, or a friend’s, is being showcased people are more likely to set aside the time to experience events pertaining to it.
Beyond the Arch: Preserving St. Louis architecture
Despite the fact that St. Louis may not be known for its architecture, our city plays host to a variety of well-known constructions. In fact, if you look around when walking on campus, you’ll be surprised at what you find.
‘Meet Me (Again) In St. Louis’: 1996 alum Nicholas Tamarkin
Before becoming a Washington University freshman, Nicholas Tamarkin had performed in two Tony-nominated plays, one during his freshman year and another during his junior year of high school. He had acted in Paris and Berlin, met Al Pacino and Paul Newman, and gone to Kevin Bacon’s wedding.
The real deal: MedPrep
It’s likely that after surviving general chemistry, organic chemistry, physics and biology, Washington University pre-meds will be in pretty good shape for the MCAT and the years of medical school that await them after graduation. But doctors aren’t deemed good doctors because of their crazy skills with paper, pen and Scantron sheets.

But about 30 Japanese American students instead found [...]
The little venues: A look at events on campus you hardly hear about
It’s a Tuesday at 3 p.m. in Tisch Commons. As usual, there are tables full of notes, laptops and half-eaten meals. There are also violins playing with rich tones that soothe over the laughter, the conversations and the clatter of forks.
Yes, on this particular Tuesday, Sept. 15, the St. Louis Symphony was promoting its Symphony [...]
Watch your mouth
W.I.L.D. The Castle. BD. Floorgies. Every year, a vat of insider terms are poured over freshmen, who scramble just to make sense of all the Danforths. It’s only mildly surprising that the Orientation Web site has a page dedicated exclusively to Washington University lingo.
Yes, college is about the classes, the parties and the activities thousands [...]
Faculty Profile: Charles Sweetman
“The Second and Final Meeting of the Self-Improvement Book Club,” “Bill-Paying Zombie” and “National Take-Your-Inner-Child-To-Work Day.” No, these titles aren’t part of a literary tribute to “The Office.”
Instead, they are part of Enterprise, Inc., a prizewinning chapbook of poems written by Washington University Professor Charles Sweetman. In the work, he explores the lives of white-collar [...]
The state of campus veggies
Whether you’re undergoing some stress relief with a vat of ice cream, overfeeding yourself for that biology test or just sharing some chips with friends, food, we can agree, is key to the college experience. People appreciate having the food that they like and want at their disposal.
