Unbeknownst to most diners, many varieties of seafood found at both restaurants and markets are harvested in harmful and environmentally damaging ways.

Do This: Sundresses on the Green
Not That: Bikinis on the Green are, simply, tacky. Either you have the body for them or you don’t; either way, you should wear clothes on campus.

Archie’s too-cool-for-school rock star friends, Josie (Rachael Leigh Cook), Melody (a pre-train wreck Tara Reid) and Valerie (Rosario Dawson) leap off the comic book pages and onto the big screen in this tongue-in-cheek comedy.

To a bystander, contact improvisational dance may seem like an orgy … or a gentler version of human bumper cars. But Adams Berzins, a Philadelphia contact-improv legend, rents out space at The Parlor to show dancers the true art of body play. A handful of attendees roll around on the studio’s wooden floor, reaching and extending until they collide with each other’s body parts — all body parts. Hips gyrate hips. Hands drape around waists. Moans escape students' mouths. Dance, huh?
