'Outsiders' adaptation brings class warfare to OnCenter
By Andrew Kase
The showdown between the shiny-haired tough guys, the Greasers and the rich, pampered preppies, the Socs (Socials), ignited the stage at the Mulroy Civic Center in an adaptation of S.E. Hinton's "The Outsiders." The novel about the lives of the Greasers, and the troubles and tragedies they encountered while growing up in Oklahoma, was portrayed well on the small stage.
Crush | Naked philanthropy
By Brian Tahmosh
Crush: Naked philanthropy Nothing says "I care about animals" like stripping off all your clothes. Holly Madison, Hugh Heffner's playmate girlfriend and soon-to-be wife, recently posed nude for a PETA ad against fur. The campaign shows Madison with a caption that says "I'd rather go naked than wear fur.

Best coffee: La Tazza Coffee. That's what La Tazza is all about. Or is it atmosphere? It's hard to decide where the coffee shop excels when we're lured in with funky tunes and comfortable chairs. Yet we know it's the different, yummy coffees that are keeping us going and staying awake through class.
Best of Campus

Dining hall - Brockway It's the cause of your Freshmen 15, abusing you and making you come back for more. Brockway dining halls are becoming the best new chain restaurants in college campuses across the country. All right, Brockway's colossal variety is enough to abate one's struggle with cafeteria food and most importantly hunger, enjoyably so.
Best of Drinking
Best Bar: Chuck's
By Dan Briggs
Happy hour - Chuck's Faegan's has a better beer selection, the Sheraton offers free food, and Maggie's has the freshmen girls. But none of these places matches up to the total package at Chuck's. It's hard to beat sitting down at a table with your friends and a $3 pitcher of Honey Brown.
Best of Shopping
Best Boutique: J. Michael Shoes
By Celina R. Tousignant
College-themed clothing store - Shirt World It's not just the clothing that makes this place the best place to shop for Syracuse gear. As soon as you walk in, the employees gladly help you explore the store, and their service keeps shoppers coming back. This store has everything from orange and blue overalls to Syracuse lip balm.
Best of Education
Best Professor: Tibor Palfai
By Paster, Katherine
Class: human sexuality No other class gives the teacher the freedom to talk about thrusting, erectile dysfunction and infant masturbation. Professor Joseph Fanelli adds animation to the always full, three-hour lecture. The textbook even has sex positions, and if anyone asks, it's assigned reading! When parents view report cards, however, they may worry that you received an A in human sex.
Best of Traditions
Best Nostalgia: The Hey Song
By Dan Hubsher
Campus Inside Joke - Nancy Cantor's Wall The Berlin Wall separated West and East Germany, the Great Wall of China kept enemies out of China and Nancy Cantor's wall keeps fun-loving students from sledding down the hill beside Crouse. Tuition keeps rising, yet Nancy Cantor can afford to build an essentially pointless wall on Crouse Hill.

Best Campus Celebrity: Otto The Orange

$50 gift card to downtown In order to expose "open minds" to the new Connective Corridor, Syracuse students were given $50 gift certificates to the downtown Armory Square area. Unfortunately, the plan backfired in two ways: the gift certificates could be used anywhere and only this year's freshmen received them.
Best Things To Do
Best First Date: Starbucks
By Tory Marlin
Radio station Z89 - Remember that happy feeling brought upon by going to the zoo? That same sensation is produced every morning for many Syracuse residents when the radio flicks on and the Z Morning Zoo blares through. Whether it's the amusing student banter or the great mix of songs played to start the day, the station is the best for everything music.
Californication: Lethem ventures west, leaving New York City spark behind
By Andy McCullough
After years of kicking around the five boroughs of New York City, Jonathan Lethem has found a new home out West in his latest novel, "You Don't Love Me Yet" (Doubleday). Gone are the girls playing double-dutch on the sidewalk and the boys hustling for subway tickets.
