Revised policy slaps underage drinkers with hefty fine

In a departure from previous years, students who ignore the university’s alcohol policy will be greeted with a $150 fine.

The new alcohol policy is similar to previous years, with one exception. Minnesota state law dictates that a person must be 21 years or older to consume alcohol. The university’s policy agrees and states that persons 21 years of age or older can consume alcohol in their dormitory with the door closed but cannot have persons under the age of 21 present when consuming alcohol.

“How can you say that I’m washed up when I’m the dirtiest thing in sight?” asks Method Man (birth name Clifford Smith) on the intro to his new album 4:21 The Day After. Named for the clarity apparently achieved on April 21st, after the day Meth himself proclaims one either “rolls up or rolls out,” The Day After is Method Man’s reflection on the business of hip hop and the more personal issues in his life. “You feel like you’re not in on the joke, and everyone’s laughing at you. I felt like no one was taking me seriously. I got real angry and I just starting writing,” he said in a statement before the album came out.

Soccer ranked ninth in West region

There are numerous sources of inspiration in the world. Friends and family, music, and Sean Connery’s accent are prime examples. Seven games into the season, it seems the men’s soccer team at Hamline has been exposed to some of these elements. It could be hard work and game planning or perhaps the team has looked to movie rentals of The Big Green for motivation, but the Pipers are undefeated after seven games.

Beyond the Bedroom with Stevie Hottman

Dear Stevie,

My friends and I have been casually joking around about how none of us get any “action,” so to speak, and how we’re basically sick of it. I know that it’s mostly just all in fun and we use the subject for a good laugh, but I can tell that some people are really aching for some physical contact. I mean, it would be nice, but it’s not imminent. The thing is, in my circle of friends, one girl has proposed to me the idea of a “bed buddy.” I’m just curious, what on earth is a bed buddy and is it a good idea? I guess I have a lot to learn in college.
