Responding to several inquiries from The Hoot, the Finance Board chose not to discuss which of its members recused themselves during the Fall Marathon in September.

By now it has been widely reported that the official Union Judiciary decision condemning me (to and of what, exactly?) uses the phrase “brain fart”.

Many view college as a chance to move away from home and live independently. But in a sense, our Community Advisors, (CAs) serve as our parents away from home.
Who are these people who and what do they do? Why would anyone want to be a CA? CAs have numerous duties, as described by Amanda Kelly '08, and becoming a CA is a selective and tedious process.
