Nice Wheels, CCSU
By Chris Demorro
Over two hundred cars descended on CCSU for the 9th annual
C3 car show, which was one of the
most successful shows in the club’s
history. On Sunday, April 27 car lovers from all over Connecticut and the
rest of New England attended with a
dizzying array of cars, including dozens of Subarus, Mitsubishis and
SRT-4 Neons.
The event was themed after the
popular television show “Top Gear,”
and many of the outlandish events
inspired the games and competitions
that took place during the course of
the day. The show was held in the
name of Families for Spinal Muscular
Atrophy, specifically for a young disabled girl named Emma.

The Rubik’s Cube: Mathematic Wonder in Nine Square Inches
By Karyn Danforth
Nothing confuses a person like
the puzzle of a toy called the Rubik’s
cube, and in fact, most simpletons do
not know, nor bother to attempt at
figuring it out. Coined as the “world’s
best selling toy” for 25 years, this
miniscule 3 by 3 inch contraption
still boggles most to this day, while
some actually spend the time to figure out the secret behind it.
Invented by a Hungarian sculptor and professor in 1974, the cube
dreamt up Emo Rubik was first
dubbed it the “magic cube.” While it
looks particularly easy with its red,
white, blue, green, orange and yellow
squares, the process of aligning the
correct colors is far more mathematical than it is necessarily fun.

Surviving Summer Courses
By Karyn Danforth
For fear of being dubbed a
“Super Senior,” many might be
scrambling to fill their would-be lofty
summer break with a few weeks of
classes, because no one wants to be
here forever. While it may resemble
summer school in middle or high
school, hopefully it will be less painful. After all, you chose to do it. Here
are some ways to endure the heatridden classrooms and sweat-soaked
syllabi.
Avoid awkward sweaty moments. Don’t laugh at the professors
sweat marks when he/she lifts her
hands and it is in direct eyesight. As
for yourself, lift up your behind every
so often to avoid swamp ass. For girls,
this will be ultimately worse if you
are wearing a skirt or dress, so try to
not let your butt stick to the seat.

Five Ways to Beat the Summer Heat
By Nick Viccione
This recent inf lux of beautiful weather has spoiled
us rotten the past couple of weeks here in New England.
However, before we all know it, summer will be in full
force and inf licting its wrath upon the helpless population. If you know you are going to be begging for the sun
to show mercy, here are five quick things you can do to
make the summer heat a little more bearable.
Befriend someone with a pool
Many college students will be going home for the
summer where they may have the luxury of a pool in their
parents’ backyard. If this is the case then, please, go to
hell. Most of us will have to deal with that friend from
high school that nobody likes, but everyone was friends
with because they had a pool. So, while the spoiled will be
lounging out on their newly stained deck, the rest of us
will me muscling through small talk with a tool bag.

College Humor’s Hottest CCSU Chapter
By Nick Viccione
For the last couple of years, the popular
time-wasting Web site CollegeHumor.com has
held a 64-woman tournament that is titled
“America’s Hottest College Girl.” Girls then
proceed to put themselves on display while
horny males and females alike vote on who they
think should move on into the next round. I had
a chance to sit down and talk with the representative from CCSU, Paola Racelis. She very politely discussed common myths about girls, and
most importantly, gives light onto what type of
guy she likes the most. Take note, fellas!
Nick Viccione: How did this whole College
Humor/Hottest College Girl thing come
about?
Paola Racelis: Well, I didn’t even want to do the
hottest college girl of the year. I just wanted to
do the cutest college girl of the day and see if I
could get into it. And then one of the reps from
College Humor contacted me and really liked
my pictures and offered me a spot in that whole
tournament thing that they had going on. I
didn’t really like the idea of “running” against
63 other girls but I thought to myself, whatever,
it’s just for fun. And all of my friends said that I
should do it and supported me.
