"Jerk out every damn little bill you can," President Lyndon Johnson reportedly commanded his strategist Larry O'Brien in 1965.

Not surprisingly, the vegetarians were also less likely to be overweight (17% were heavy...
...fiction, documentary, stop-motion animation, and hand-drawn animation—as well as one music video. The event, a collaborative effort of SOCH administrators and several student organizations, was a welcome breath of fresh air at the chronically under-used student space. Colleen F. O’Brien ’11, the events coordinator at the SOCH who spearheaded the event, said that the festival owes its existence primarily to former manager David R. Friedrich’s initiative to revitalize the SOCH and its image. “When I was originally hired as an events coordinator...
