RPS doesn’t care about lounge people

By Eric Cox · Sunday, Oct. 25,2009 7:20 p.m.

Let me tell you all a secret: RPS does not care where you live next year. You’d actually be doing RPS a small favor if you move out. I became a resident assistant in fall 2006, and we had students living barracks-style in lounges because of overcrowding. The freshman enrollment that year was 8,126. Instead of looking into alternative housing options or easing the residence hall requirements, RPS paid the problem lip service. The next year, freshmen enrollment was 8,051. There were still people living in lounges.

Candy, costumes and Christians

By Chris Nelson · Sunday, Oct. 25,2009 7:14 p.m.

Everything about Halloween turns me on. For me, it is the one night I can dress up like a complete ass and not have anyone question it. It’s the one night, surrounded by a group of my peers, I can drink beer, listen to Lamb of God and eat candy simultaneously.
