In response to “Save turkeys from death this holiday,” SN 11/12: Yeah, I too am looking forward to sitting around in our new home with our family watching the Detroit Lions and treating ourselves to a delicious, moist, 20-pound turkey and mashed potatoes covered in gravy. Man, I know what you’re saying, I agree I can’t wait either.
My fellow students, there you have it. The reason we all do so horrible in math is because we are not trying hard enough (“Math problems left unsolved,” SN 11/16). What a load. First off, approaching the instructors is of little good when you can’t understand them in the first place.
Detroit - Less than half of my chocolate milkshake was left after Chris Murphy took a few huge swigs and reached for another one of my french fries. The part-time frontman of the band Sloan, one of the most popular exports from Canada, is also an expert of getting ketchup out of the bottle, hardly spattering me at all with the tomato extract. The gangly, secondhand clothes-donning, scraggly haired group of guys were obviously not your average run-of-the-mill hockey fans sitting down for a burger at Johnny Rockets restaurant on a Friday night in Detroit.

India, Taiwan, Russia and Vietnam were among the countries that invaded the Union on Sunday afternoon. Global Festival 2001, an event that debuted 16 years ago at the International Center, attracted hundreds to a variety of activities on three floors of the Union. “I think it’s a very good event and a good opportunity for us to show students about Greek traditions,” said microbiology graduate student Kostas Konstantinidis. Konstantinidis was among the many students presenting traditional foods, music, clothing and other objects from dozens of different countries. As he stamped the special passports given to children for visiting the countries represented, Konstantinidis noted the higher attendance to this year’s festival. “We participate every year,” he said.
