  • Graduate students to vote on mandatory bus pass

    By February 13, 2013

    Graduate students will vote on PAWS Feb. 28 to decide whether or not they will finally get a universal bus pass, or U-Pass.

  • Cuba is trapped in the past: some facts about the Caribbean communist nation

    By March 2, 2012

    Travelling to Cuba is a lot like going back to the 1960s. Time seems to have stalled in this era, as seen in the bright paint jobs and classic builds of the cars on the street.

    Even the prices seem from a previous decade. A 26-ounce bottle of white Havana Club Rum costs 3.80 Cuban pesos, roughly $4. People could drink the bottle — the entire bottle — and get behind the wheel, facing only a ticket for impaired driving and a slap on the wrist.

  • New Year’s Eve in the mountains of Peru

    By January 5, 2012

My high spirits lasted until I reached the street and realized that traffic in Peru doesn’t stop for pedestrians and the sun was intense enough that by mid-afternoon my skin had burnt to a crisp shade of pink.
