From watching spoofed TV news programs to checking the AOL homepage, college students get their news from a variety of media sources

From the time of town criers and town meetings, to the golden age of radio and television, to the era of the Internet and the cell phone, news finds its way to us whether we like it or not.
On campus, the story is the same, with every student getting his or her news from a variety of different sources.

By Kevin Sawyer / Heights StaffAs I was walking to class last week, I noticed a new addition to our campus. St. Ignatius of Loyola had taken up residence on the grassy knoll in front of Higgins Hall. The larger-than-life-sized statue seems to have appeared overnight. I had no idea a statue was even in the works; unfortunately writing for the campus newspaper doesn't mean I'm privy to all the insider information.
By Kevin Allocca / ColumnistSo I was listening to this oldies station the other day, and "Build Me Up, Buttercup," came on. I know everyone likes to sing it at football games, but I'm not a fan.
If I were playing for the opposing team and I heard the home team's student section singing "Build Me Up, Buttercup," I wouldn't feel very intimidated.

When I was 5, The Wizard of Oz was my favorite movie.
I loved everything about it - the glamour of Glinda the good witch, and of course, Dorothy's pretty ruby slippers.
But the fashion lesson to be taken away from The Wizard of Oz this year centers around the lions and tigers and bears - oh my!
This season, the general obsession with animal prints and fur-lined clothing proves otherwise.
