This Friday, the Class of 2006 Council is sponsoring a bus trip to Canada, leaving at 7 p.m. that night and returning around 3:30 a.m. The price of this trip is only $1. Last semester, over fall break, a day-long trip to Toronto was sponsored by the Campus Activities Board with a slightly higher, but still incredibly low, price tag for students. On many university campuses, getting students off-campus at all is an accomplishment. Thanks to student organizations at UR, however, students are given chances to take a break in a different country.Niagara is a wonderful scenic location, not too far from here, and it is good that students will have the opportunity for a reasonable price to pay it a visit.More trips of this nature would be a welcome addition to Rochester weekend activities, and hopefully, if this one is successful, more activities of a similar sort will be planned.

Top 10 best albums of 2024
It’s been an amazing year for music — some of my favorite albums of the decade came out, pop music thrived, as did rap, metal, and overall there were pretty much great albums coming out consistently every week.
America
America hates its children
I feel exhausted whenever I hear conservatives fall upon the mindlessly affective “think of the children” defense of their barbarous proposals for school curriculums and general social regressivism.
