For many Villanovans, last Monday, the first day of classes, was the first time they set foot on Main Campus this year. These students returned to the Villanova campus far later than ever before. The reason? After three years as Wildcats, they don't happen to live here anymore.

It may surprise you to know that 40 percent of students at Villanova do not receive any financial aid. It may shock you that only 78 percent of general financial need is met. You may even be angry that the reason for those numbers and our general lack of financial aid is that over Villanova's 166-year history, the majority of our $360 million endowment has been raised only in the last 30 years.

This newspaper has written many times before about the deplorable state of campus housing for underclassmen. Most everyone is aware of the state (and lack of) campus housing, but in the University's defense, it faces major challenges within and outside of the Villanova community in order to have residence halls that will accommodate every student.

If you're anything like me, you read Forbes for one reason and one reason only: the lists. And as anyone who knows anything will tell you, the best list ever compiled by the magazine is "World's Most Expensive Yachts."
When at a loss for conversation with my more nautical peers, I have often saved face by holding forth on the relative merits of the Alysia ($116.

I used to be just like you.
Young, full of hope and dreams for the future. I wanted to be an astronaut, a writer, a sculptor, an Olympian. But then I came to Goucher- a joke, don't panic!
That's not true (except for the astronaut bit) - not because Goucher doesn't have the capability to change you, for better or worse, but because I didn't embrace or engage this capability.

There are two things wide-eyed freshmen can't seem to get enough of during NSO: drinking and advice.
The former will be concentrated in periodic outbursts of debauchery, but the latter will be unforgivingly relentless, largely unhelpful and almost uniformly corny.

I have become preoccupied with paper; how much we use, how much is recycled, how much is not recycled, where it goes after we are done with it, how many trees we could save if we decided to make it mandatory to print double-sided - there's a lot to think about.

Teams like the Tampa Bay Rays should come out of nowhere every year. Olympic Sports should be shown on National TV more than just once every four years. Voter turnouts should BE closer to 100 percent than they are to 50 percent.
Unfortunately, some things in this country fail to change because they are rooted in our psyche.

Millions of people have been energized by Barack Obama's campaign for the presidency. After eight disastrous years of George W. Bush, they are excited to see an inspiring, young politician with a multicultural background have a real shot at the White House.

Last Thursday night Barack Obama said, "I will end this war in Iraq responsibly, and finish the fight against al-Qaida and the Taliban in Afghanistan."
It was a night of real enthusiasm - a kind of night American politics has not seen for at least 16 years, since Clinton's first run in 1992.

Upon entering Sunrise Valley, my body nearly collapsed in pleasure as I was struck with the deep aroma of freshly baked donuts.

Two years ago, almost to the day, I cracked open the door of Tolley 125, and began one of the most harrowing dorm experiences of my life. Dim and flickering florescent lights made the hallway feel more like a J.J. Abrams movie than a dorm. The bathrooms nauseated me on a good day, with various creatures inhabiting the showers and the décor nearly unchanged since 1968.

Don't skip the experience
Last year, I remember my first semester as a freshman having my First-Year Seminar at 9 a.m. every Tuesday and Thursday, so I booked an 8:45 a.m. class on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I thought if I woke up at the same time every day, it would make things easier for me.

Generally, crashing in a living room denotes a rough night, a nice visit or a pity stay. In any case, crashing usually is usually free. Now imagine your first time getting to Drexel, a time that should be marked by excitement, and having to live in the "living room," or lounge, of your new dorm while paying the same exorbitant fees as students living in regular private dorm rooms.

The subject of MOVE is the third rail of Philadelphia politics. MOVE was, at its inception, nonviolent; its members got their livings in the wage-earning economy; it was drug-free. In the larger context of the 1960s and 1970s, it was one of many communal movements around the country that rejected a society regarded as poisoned by racism, imperialism and corporate-engendered consumerism.
