Safe Grad Offers Students Information on Booze and Safety
I am writing you to express my excitement about the event coming up called Safe Grad. I am an intern on campus for Student Health called S.T.A.R., which stands for Students Teaching Alcohol and other drug Responsibility.

She Said: Nude Dancers—Demeaning or Delightful?
I’m not quite sure what it is about stripping that makes people become the morality police. Is it nudity that they find immoral? Is it the display of sexuality that they have a problem with? These both seem like perfectly natural things. I personally have no problem with strippers.
