Spring Break
On Feb. 19, the Theta Tau chapter of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity at Moravian College was allowed to keep their charter following an investigation into their involvement in the alleged embezzlement of large sums of money by former president Jason Cote this past winter.
In recent weeks, Moravian College announced that it had eliminated current staff positions as part of an estimated $2 million budget reduction for the 2009-2010 fiscal year. In addition to the elimination of six former staff positions, four staff positions were restructured from 12-month to 10-month contracts, and open faculty and staff positions at the college will not be filled.
According to "The Princeton Review," Moravian College is listed as one of the most politically apathetic colleges in the United States. Senior political science majors Sarah Naumes and Grace Puleo have taken steps this semester to remedy this embarrassing reputation by beginning a chapter of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) on campus.

Rock music-I mean, great rock music-is hard to come by these days. What we hear on the radio is watered-down, consumer-driven fluff that generally has little meaning at all. But, lucky for us, there are exceptions. Taking a step away from the over-produced sound that plagues the airwaves, rockers The Take are on their way to some real success.
Having written restaurant and store reviews for several months now, I'm always on the look out for new and interesting places to talk about. Guido Burrito just so happens to be the kind of place that a person can pass by on a somewhat regular basis, and overlook more often than not.
Typically, when the U.S. president enters office, he has 100 days to show the country what he is capable of achieving. Rookie President Barack Obama has been in the White House for only half of that time and has already accomplished more than George W. Bush did in his eight year term.
