Carbonized Fossil, Vol. 28

Retro-style “Diamonds and Coal” from The Herald’s issue on September 16, 2005:

diamond to M-Sex, FemSex’s new sibling workshop. For far too long, women have freely and openly talked about sex while the topic remained taboo among men, even in private conversation. Our society was so centered on female sexuality that men didn’t even feel comfortable discussing what made them feel good. Thank goodness M-Sex will begin to change all that.

cubic zirconium to the imminent death of the hard-copy Course Announcement Bulletin. Paper doesn’t crash or do maintenance during prime time. On the other hand, paper doesn’t involve fun-to-use pull-down menus.

A cubic zirconium to the 24-hour study space coming to a SciLi near you. The renovated area will be an important asset late at night, at least for those students too lazy to walk 25 feet over to the CIT.

Carbonized Fossil, Vol. 25

Retro-style “Diamonds and Coal” from The Herald’s issue on January 28, 2005:

Cubic zirconium to the 16,800 aspirants to the class of 2009. We love that your blood, sweat and personal statement sob stories will raise Brown’s selectivity and our U.S. News ranking, but the fact that the class of 2006 was the least selective in the last decade has us looking over our shoulders – a lot.
