A few months ago, a friend of mine went out with an ex-boyfriend, got drunk and when they got back to her place, they had sex. When she told me about it, she was upset because she said she hadn’t really wanted to, but she was really drunk and didn’t know what to do.

Profile of a Senator
Ezekiel (Zeke) Kimball, the chair of the Student Senate met with me on a muggy afternoon at 11 Baxter Blvd. While his handshake was firm, his nervous smile indicated a shy, humble person, preferring the behind-the-scenes view over the spotlight this interview would bring.

Thirsty Thursday in Gorham
Most every Thursday night on the Gorham campus, the Gorham Events Board offers students a friendly alternative to doing Jell-o shots in Upton-Hastings Hall in the form of “Thirsty Thursday” events. Thirsty Thursdays offer everything from games to give-aways to free music.

If you scan the latest runways featured in the pages of Vogue, Bazaar, W and the like, you will notice that this season’s trends are decidedly less, well, uniform. This observation does not apply to the ample selection of distinctly feminine shapes of the season, but rather the myriad of styles, colors and takes on what are arguably the most lax struts down the catwalk in recent seasons.
