This year, the tradition of students camping out to get Crosstown Shootout tickets returned after yet another change in the ticket policy.

As many of you remember, two years ago, an XU portal-based lottery system was concocted to determine which lucky Muskies would receive the coveted shootout tickets.

Now that winter is upon us and the sun has decided to make its graceful exit for a couple months, many people are turning to alternate sources for that "healthy" tan.

It is estimated that over one million Americans visit a tanning booth every day.

This is the time of year that those of us who were not "blessed" with "skin pigmentation of any kind" start to be reminded of just how pale we are.
