	Brown Celebrities…In Their Own Right By zoehenry November 13, 2012 - 8:00pm Brown Celebrities…In Their Own Right Krasinski and Bowen are national celebrities, but some figures are Brown celebrities in their own right. Check out this list of folks who are treasured uniquely by our community: #1: Ruth Simmons At the inauguration this weekend, the applause for Ruth was louder than Paxson’s. Ruth Simmons is more than a former President: she is a Brunonian icon, an image of everything that we love about our University. (How many of you own a t-shirt with her face on it?) In May, the dance community organized a flash mob in honor of Ruth, choreographed to Beyoncé’s “End of Time”. If that doesn’t speak to her fame, what does? #2: Wyclef Jean READ MORE

	In the Name of Fame By Sami Isman October 16, 2012 - 7:25pm Stage names, pen names, or alter egos, whatever you call them, they all fulfill the same role. These have become quite a common thing in the world of entertainment. Stars use them for various reasons, sometimes the purpose is to be able to do or say something they wouldn’t otherwise be able to, other times it is to hide who they truly are, and yet other times, these simply emerge because their old names weren't flashy or catchy enough. There is always talk about recreating oneself, about using a move to a new city or country or job to become the person we actually wanted to be, and we all need to start somewhere. READ MORE

Here are some of the things we are most looking forward to about fall semester. READ MORE

	What is Sexual Assault? By Noni Wang April 21, 2012 - 5:14am Let’s define the term first. According to CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), sexual violence is “any sexual act that is perpetrated against someone’s will.” There are four types of sexual violence: a completed sex act, an attempted (but not completed) sex act, abusive sexual contact (intentional touching either directly or through the clothing), and non-contact sexual abuse like exposing an individual through photographs and verbal harassment. It is important to define the term, because some victims are reluctant to call an incident “rape” if a weapon is not used. READ MORE
