Last Tuesday, March 9, RUPA sponsored “Sex Rules,” a presentation hosted by the very colorful Maria Falzone. RUPA had been prepared for a turnout larger than the fifty or so kids that showed up, as the talk was held in the Multi-Purpose Room of the Cook Campus Center. Although it seemed like the women outnumbered the men, the audience was very diverse. There were the front row participators, the nervous laughers, the group of guys making jokes amongst themselves (and giving each other the “sexy” eyebrows way …

Let’s Talk About Sex, Baby

This week I sat down with a very laid back couple, Bonnie and Clyde, I’ll call them.  Although they’ve been together for only about four months, they’ve had some very exciting sexual adventures.  Bonnie is a 19 year old Rutgers College sophomore and Clyde is a 21 year old Rutgers College senior.  Both are Honors Program students.  During the school year they have sex about every other day on average.  Here’s how our chat went:

Let’s Talk About Sex # 2

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Mandy, a 20 year old Chinese Rutgers Student. Mandy is a self-proclaimed devout Catholic. She is also a self-proclaimed virgin; but depending on your definition, you might not agree. Despite being very involved in her church, Mandy says that her religion does not play a large role in her abstinence. Let’s dig a little deeper, shall we?

As a humble employee of the College Avenue Dining Hall, I offer you the students, an article that I hope will give you a more intimate knowledge of and relationship with Brower Commons.  I will start by admitting that as a freshman, I too thought that Brower was quite inferior to the other Dining Halls on the New Brunswick/Piscataway campus.

The times, they are a changing’. . . in fact they always have been.  It is much lamented by many of my female friends that the age of chivalry seems to have long since passed.  Courting a woman is an almost dead tradition.  The nature of boy/girl relations has changed.  Today, sex finds its way into the picture much sooner than it used to.

In Thursday’s Targum, Ysabel Gonzalez wrote an opinions article entitled Cracks in Another Red Tape System (found here). In this article Ms. Gonzalez points out the lack of personal attention given to students here at Rutgers, as well as in institutions for higher education in general. She claims that professors and the University at large are not interested in individual students and their needs, but rather in the statistics which represent them. She believes that professors need to take more of an initiative to connect with students …

Last week Robert Tarantino wrote an article about the widespread conversion to digital music and the resultant poor sound quality. Reading his article, I was inspired to address some of the more cultural (and less technical) consequences of this popular technology. While I cannot deny the convenience of having every song you could ever want to listen to in the palm of your hand, I do feel that the current trend in music distribution takes away from the integrity of the medium, thereby encouraging the decreases in …

West Virginia University 12/2/06: Mostly sober, red shirts discretely hidden under our hoodies, I felt this was the perfect disguise in the frigid night air; still we found ourselves surrounded by chants of “Fuck New Jersey!” Moments later, as we don our noble garbs in the befitting manner, these chants and profane remarks condemning the state of my birth and residency were aimed directly at us. What do these gas-pumping hicks know anyway? Tough loss that night, but if Townsend didn’t drop that pass in the Fourth, we …

Everyone has a different definition of love. Some people say it means “to like a lot”. Some say you are in love when you would do anything for a person, even die for them. I’ve even heard that love is “the soul’s recognition of its counterpart in another” (I think that’s from Wedding Crashers or something). Whatever your accepted definition of romantic love, it seems to be an emotion that drives people to do all sorts of things—things that someone not under its influence would call …

Eating disorders are rarely a topic of discussion other than as the punch line to a joke or a criticism.  They are often thought of as exclusive to skinny, spoiled rich girls with no real problems to worry about.  The truth is that eating disorders such as Bulimia and Anorexia affect people of all ages, body types and genders and are very serious problems.
