A love poem for that cute Kosher girl

We all know that cute blonde girl behind the Kosher counter at Usdan, who until recently served us our burritos (without cheese) and other food with a smile.  Some take the time to make flirtatious small talk with her (which she politely ignores), but Freshman David Nam (‘13) decided to take it to the next [...]

CAMPUS UPDATE: TABLE POPULATION RAPIDLY CHANGING

The university community was already floored by the sudden disappearance of a table from PAC 002 earlier this week. Now, anonymous furniture tycoons have also struck in the Usdan University Center:

Good lord. The tables have turned–from our beloved, sushi-holding roundish grey things to cold, heartless, elongated fold-out monsters.
Still no word on the missing PAC table; [...]

Usdan Performance Art: Caged Humans
