Dating at St. Olaf can be a murky and shallow pond in which to swim. Complaints about the sparse pickings are heard all across the hill; it seems most people are either in a very serious relationship on the path to matrimony or simply single. The small number of people on campus may be one of the causes of this phenomenon. Random hook ups and unpleasant breakups are all the more painful on a small campus, where a run-in with an old fling is practically inevitable.

Does anybody on this campus own Deep Throat? Im going through an informal pornographic education, and Im starting with the classics.

Howie Day has a unique talent. If anything, the art of live performance is the true measure of an artist and his vision. Day is one of the more powerful and evocative examples of a truly laudable live performer, and despite the oppressive heat at the Cities 97 Concert in the Park in Shakopee on Sept. 7, he delivered a brief yet quintessential performance.
