Matt Machucki: One night I was handed a birth certificate with a baby picture attached to it. Kenny Csaplar: A kid tried to give me my old fake that I used all freshman and sophmore year.

I walked in to room 329 of the Anthropology department a little late on the first day of classes.

There is nothing like a spell of clement weather to bring out the uncompromising Brit within. Every day I wake up with Al (as in Roker) and depend on his soothing voice to dictate my choice of attire and more importantly, my mood.
