'Mirror's Edge' has sharper-than-glass imagesToday

When "Mirror's Edge" was announced, gamers paid attention. Everything about it felt like a gaming revelation: the stripped-down display, the splashes of color on the eggshell cityscape, the fact that somebody was finally developing a game based on parkour (a physical discipline all about overcoming environmental obstacles quickly and efficiently).

New Student Affairs policy is inappropriateToday

It has recently come to light that the Department of Student Affairs has enacted a policy designed to control media inquiry into the functioning of this university. Not only is such a policy unnecessary, it is also unfairly restrictive and has no place at a university whose goal is the advancement of academic exploration.

ResLife may require $300 housing depositToday

ResLife is considering reinstalling a $300 housing deposit fee for students who opt for student housing next academic year as a way of anticipating how many people will remain on campus, according to Director of Housing Services Pamela Schipani.

The idea has not been approved yet but has been put in the parent newsletter in order to alert students and their parents to the possible change in policy.

Dido brings it back 'Home'Today

Perhaps one of the least anticipated albums of the year, Dido's "Safe Trip Home," is unsurprisingly just OK. Best known for her song "Thank You," which was mixed into Eminem's hit track "Stan," Dido's newest album is composed of songs that all sound essentially the same as "Thank You," just not quite as good.

Honors program expands housing applicationsToday

The university's Honors Program has changed its housing application process for Wilson Hall, formerly South A, to mirror the process used for the sophomore honors community currently housed in Brock Hall, according to program director Missy Korduner.

ResLife asked the Honors Program to expand the two-year-old process used for students applying to Brock Hall to encompass Wilson Hall as well because the system was effective, Korduner said.
