I expect to wake up wanting nothing more than to go to brunch. I expect to stay in bed all day and watch movies with my roommates. I expect to see stone trash can holders overturned and I expect the necessity of avoiding beer bottles that are shattered all over the ground. 483d80f4-544c-4edb-8c61-598cbfb93d05 Thu, 03 Dec 2009 05:00:00 GMT News 12/03/09 Margaret Cohn http://media.collegepublisher.com/media/paper850/thumbs/t_15e04c60.JPG http://www.thestentor.com/news/2009/12/03/News/ Campus News http://www.thestentor.com/news/2009/12/03/Features/Saoirse.Ronan.Isnt.Afraid.Of.The.Dark-3844859.shtml It's hard to be a fifteen-year-old girl these days. Everything about the demographic has been systematically boxed into a marketable blend of clichés. Who else comes to mind but Disney Channel star Miley Cyrus a.k.a. Hannah Montana? True, she's not fifteen anymore, but much of her celebrity was built around the success and scandal that surrounded her as a fifteen year old. a19cbae3-2a78-4eb2-8bb1-448bf98131ef Thu, 03 Dec 2009 05:00:00 GMT Features Arts and Leisure 12/03/09 John TerMaat Copy Chief http://media.collegepublisher.com/media/paper850/thumbs/t_c6cljt1d.jpg http://www.thestentor.com/news/2009/12/03/Features/ Features/Campus Life http://www.thestentor.com/news/2009/12/03/Features/Thoughts.On.Marsden.Diaz.And.Kelly.Fresh.Out.Of.the.Box-3844869.shtml For an adolescent male with cinematic pretensions who came of age in the early 2000's, it was impossible not to have come in contact with Richard Kelly's "Donnie Darko." The film did poorly at the box office but reached cult status on home video as college kids passed the word on about the odd film. f36a18df-5d59-43f7-80ea-887bbd2db463 Thu, 03 Dec 2009 05:00:00 GMT Features Arts and Leisure 12/03/09 Carl LaMark http://www.thestentor.com/news/2009/12/03/Features/ Features/Campus Life http://www.thestentor.com/news/2009/12/03/Opinion/The-College.Needs.To.Embrace.Writing.For.The.Good.Of.The.Student.Body.And.Facult-3844875.shtml The debate over changes to the college's First Year Studies program is the most prominent discussion about the academic curriculum this semester. Some members of the faculty hope to expand the program to a two-credit class offered over two semesters or combined into a more intense single semester class. b56e5935-bc61-49a5-800c-adcdc939fc5f Thu, 03 Dec 2009 05:00:00 GMT Opinion 12/03/09 Paul Henne http://www.thestentor.com/news/2009/12/03/Opinion/ Opinion/Editorial http://www.thestentor.com/news/2009/12/03/Opinion/Response.Health.Services.Do.Care-3844881.shtml All I have is four words to say to anyone who shares the opinion of the article "Health on campus, of successes and stumbles" written in the November 19th issue of the Stentor about our campus Health Services… "Go Home to Mommy!!!" Since the outbreak of all the illnesses on campus, our campus Health Services and Nurse Kathy Salinger have gone above and beyond their call of duty to try and keep our campus community as healthy as possible. 483d6d3a-a9ce-4d04-9dfe-1bcd482db85b Thu, 03 Dec 2009 05:00:00 GMT Opinion 12/03/09 Andrea DiCanio http://www.thestentor.com/news/2009/12/03/Opinion/ Opinion/Editorial http://www.thestentor.com/news/2009/12/03/Opinion/Presidents.Corner-3844887.shtml hrough a discussion of Latin American politics and a particular comment of a colleague, I have begun to think about our current election at LFC. My colleague's comment was that Latin American people seem to be in a rut where they vote purely for the sake of change rather than educating themselves on the issues and the candidates. 3d07779b-165c-4e26-a37f-1f54c7215ef3 Thu, 03 Dec 2009 05:00:00 GMT Opinion 12/03/09 Departing words from the President Mario Baldassari http://www.thestentor.com/news/2009/12/03/Opinion/ Opinion/Editorial http://www.thestentor.com/news/2009/12/03/Opinion/Friends.Old.And.New.Have.Their.Place.In.Life-3844892.shtml My cell phone clock just reversed an hour as I passed back over into Chicago from Ohio. I spent Thanksgiving break at home, like many other kids from Lake Forest College. The fact that my first Thanksgiving spent home from college has already passed by me seems crazy. 910987ba-6c04-4bb9-a232-0d00d875dd30 Thu, 03 Dec 2009 05:00:00 GMT Opinion 12/03/09 Shawna Hite http://www.thestentor.com/news/2009/12/03/Opinion/ Opinion/Editorial http://www.thestentor.com/news/2009/12/03/Sports/Womens.Hockey.Dominates-3844897.shtml In a community as small as Lake Forest College, it is shocking that the success of the Women's Hockey team has gone virtually unnoticed. The Foresters have yet to lose a game this season, but even that isn't enough to draw a wide range of fan support. Just one home game this season drew a crowd of over 200. 890c700e-f724-4c22-9849-dc4a5c1d9615 Thu, 03 Dec 2009 05:00:00 GMT Sports 12/03/09 Nick Cantor http://www.thestentor.com/news/2009/12/03/Sports/ Sports
