The popular social networking site is heavily used on the Stevens campus, whether it's during a boring lecture or while chilling in a dorm room.

If an Orthodox Jewish transsexual desires to transition, which will set him on a course of taking hormones and finally having SRS [Sex Reassignment Surgery], is this permitted per halakha? Are there any differences if this is MtF (male to female) or FtM (female to male) transitioning? What prohibitions, if any, does this course of action violate? Does pikuach nefesh [danger of life] play a role in determining the halakha? And assuming that someone goes forward with this surgery, rightly or wrongly, under halakha, is this person seen as being the sex which he was born, or the one he presents as and physically resembles? This is aside from the question of how Orthodox Jews ought to treat such a person on a whole.

Running from class to class barely leaves enough time for sufficient and healthy meals. Many times walking around campus, you will see students munching on a bag of chips or eating a personal pizza from Papa Johns. There are not many healthy options for students to grab on the go, and even if there are they are more expensive than the unhealthy ones.

It seems some politicians, talking heads and pundits have all but retreated to Cold War-era hideouts to escape the economic crisis. Congress, although it voted down the first draft of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (EESA) on Monday, seems likely to eventually lend Wall Street a helping hand in the form of tax revenue.

Many Manhattan College students start their day with a shower in Overlook, Jasper, or Horan. Then they brush their teeth, and perhaps after make some tea or coffee. They carry Nalgene bottles to the gym and to class. All of these daily activities involve water - but how many students ever really stop and think about how the water gets into their faucet?
On September 16, Manhattan College students and faculty were given the opportunity to become a little more educated on exactly where their water comes from.

Only twenty minutes after my first meeting with sophomore Gabe Arnold in front of Bunce Hall, I already had him running away. "O.K, this is a fence, but I look at it and I think, I can do something here," he said, before jumping over a rail and into the bottom of a basement stairwell, only to climb up the wall and back over the rail.

Red and gold foliage in autumn and fuchsia cherry blossoms by spring … Villanova's landscape flickers with the sun and cultivates a feeling of home with beauty for all students. We appreciate the careful alignment of flowered walkways and are often distracted by signage posted on tree trunks, offering a dedication or information about the plant's species.
