The mood outside was gloomy for all those shut out of the sold-out show, but inside the atmosphere was tense with Bill Nye-related anticipation. After listening to three short introductory speeches (including those by President Bill Destler and Student Government President Ed Wolf), Nye took the stage as this years Horton...

Skates, check. Funky disco music, check. Friends, check. That was all you needed for CAB's second Annual Ice Disco Skate on Friday, March 28th. When you think of disco music, you think of a combination of Saturday Night Fever, the 70s, and roller skates. Since it's a bit difficult to set up a roller rink on campus, however, CAB came up with the idea to bring "funky town" to the Frank Ritter Ice Arena instead. Lots of students came out for the disco skate. The...
