Athletic Department officials are overhauling the season-ticket policy for the men's basketball program in an effort to transform the student section into a more formidable sixth man.
Starting this year, participants in the annual tradition of The Line - the surprise nighttime announcement and overnight Palestra bash where students trade sleep for tickets - will now get a general-admissions pass to the stud ent section of the Palestra, rather than a reserved seat for every game.

There are many reasons why San Diego Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman has decided to play football this upcoming season instead of having surgery on his torn LCL and PCL. Merriman believes the Chargers are on the verge of a Super Bowl. He also knows that after the '09 season, his contract is up, and missing an entire year would considerably hurt his bank account.

From Israel to America, from Long Beach to Long Island, from Brookline to the Main Line, many an undergraduate spent their summer tucked away in some cramped cubicle, photocopying, filing, and fetching coffee.

Simply put, last season was a disaster. The soccer team won only one game, and gave up forty-nine more goals than they scored. While no one was expecting a Manchester United-like season, no one was expecting a one and fifteen season mimicking the Miami Dolphins of football either.

Many at the College were stunned last year when beloved men's baseball coach Rick Dell headed east to serve as an ambassador for the game he's always loved. One year later, it looks like the move was a success for Dell, who was a major player at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, even tossing out the first pitch during an opening round game between the United States and Korea.
