	The East Coast Uniform By McKenzie Otus November 18, 2012 - 8:35pm As a freshman at Lehigh coming from the west coast, I have noticed one particular thing every girl seems to own the same unofficial uniform of the East Coast. I first became aware of this as me and about 300 other girls walked to Packard at 9:00 am on a Sunday morning for Sorority Open Houses, where every girl could be seen in jeans, boots, and a cute sweater. But I am here to talk about the predominant cold weathered stables and the memo I seemed to have missed coming from California where vineyard vines and Patagonia are about as foreign as snow is.

	America’s Racialized Common Sense By Brenda Martinez November 11, 2012 - 10:39pm “Race is the enigma of stigma. Trayvon Martin died as a victim of virtual identity” Lehigh University’s Alice Eckardt Scholar-in-Residence Program welcomed Professor William D. Hart of North Carolina Greensboro, Monday night before elections, to speak on the Trayvon Martin. How do you become aware of your own stigma? How do you get rid of a habit that is hard to acquire and hard to get rid of?

However, waking up this sunday is particularly rough. So how do you get back into the swing of things? Here are 10 ways to recover after a weekend that was a little too much fun. READ MORE
	No Time For Breakfast? Her Campus Lehigh's Guide to Eating Breakfast at College By Rebecca Langbein October 24, 2012 - 11:33pm No time for Breakfast? A lot of mornings I find it hard to urge myself to get out of bed early enough to get up, head to Rathbone or the UC, and grab a bite to eat before class.

	Linderman Library: Sanctuary at Lehigh By Sabrina Herbert October 21, 2012 - 9:35pm Linderman Library is without a doubt one of the prettiest buildings on campus. With its gothic look and high ceilings, it exudes an air of higher-learning. There is a definite consensus regarding the prime study areas, as well as the areas that are just “eh”. For one, the study rooms located on the top floor of Linderman are always the first to get snatched up. They are private rooms with a table that grants you and a few others quiet, privacy, and the ability to talk if need be.
