Off the Beaten Path:
Most of the films I discuss on “Off the Beaten Path” are just that — funky little movies with way too much edge for their own good. But this week, I want to take a break and discuss something entirely different: a teen comedy.
The Faculty Club
It’s a familiar scenario to which we can all relate — Monday afternoon, you have about a 50-minute break in your schedule and are looking for a satisfying meal to refuel before the next round of classes. Before shuffling into the swarming line at Subway or settling for a standard grab-and-go pre-made
sandwich, imagine this alternative: You walk into a bright restaurant, a smiling hostess greets you and you are lead to your table, which is adorned with a vase of daisies and cloth napkins. She then hands you a menu with daily risotto specials and (gasp) takes your order?! Believe it or not, you can live this fine dining fantasy right on campus Monday through Friday at The Faculty Club.

Yet, despite the luxurious number of cocks strutting around my lawn on Saturday, it was the girls who seemed to be doing most of the lip-locking. Looking through the rather incriminating photos the following morning, this began to trouble me.
