By now, you’ve probably noticed that the new hydrogen fuel cell AC Transit buses have a feature that we’ve never seen before on public transportation: a television. Since it’s not exactly pay-per-view, it’s easy to overlook unless you’re on the bus for a considerable amount of time. But if you’re Read More…
Berkeley is hard on your body. How far do you walk every day? How long are you hunched over a desk in your dorm room or in a classroom? How many times have you fallen asleep on an uncomfortable couch, trying to stay awake to study? Dead week might have Read More…
Oregon’s Duck has been made into a Pillow Pet. So has USC’s Trojan Horse. Even the University of Utah Ute is now a Pillow Pet. (And we didn’t even know what a Ute was supposed to look like until we saw the stuffed equivalent.) Thousands of college students across the nation Read More…
