Men battle injuries, conference foes

Men battle injuries, conference foes

The Cardinal currently has a short list of wishes.
A healthy knee, quad and ankle would do just fine.
With the top-ranked men’s soccer team (9-1) beginning its Pacific-10 Conference schedule at home, the squad could potentially be without three seniors who are currently responsible for half of its offensive production.

A sports fan’s dilemma

A sports fan’s dilemma

Ah, Saturday. No class. No reason to wake up. And for a sports bum like myself, life is good, because Saturdays are college football days.

LGBT.CRC invites everyone to celebrate Coming Out Day

Today is National Coming Out Day, and chances are, there are a bunch of people who will not read beyond the first half of this sentence. “What does NCOD have to do with me?” many ask. “I’m not gay or I’m already out.” Maybe these people haven’t seen the LGBT Community Resources Center’s poster campaign.

Spanish immersion dorm deserves a second chance

Spanish immersion dorm deserves a second chance

Stanford’s five language theme houses offer some of the best ways for students to hone their language skills and learn about cultural traditions without actually leaving campus.

Roxy Sass wants you to take a dip in the melting pot

It’s time to do a short little word association exercise to start this week’s column off right. Get out your pens and papers, darlings.
