As the calendar draws closer to May, there is a growing feeling of restlessness and discontent among college campuses across the country. With seniors preparing to graduate in the spring, the soon-to-be-liberated students are beginning to relax as the finish line comes into sight.
While hundreds of University of Louisville students prepare to hit the beach this spring break, several campus organizations are gearing up to serve their community. U of L service programs such as the Baptist Campus Ministries, Alternative Spring Break and the International Service Learning Program are preparing for cross-country excursions to help their fellow travelers enjoy the vacation.
The University of Louisville was constructed in an area that tends to hold water. The whole Ohio Valley area is such a region, and anyone living, working, operating and building in it must realize this and be prepared to handle problems that arise because of it.
The word of the week was signature for the University of Louisville. "We had to play Pitt, or someone like Pitt, because everybody is talking about signature wins and not paying attention to us," said Louisville head coach Rick Pitino.

I suppose I shouldn't blame a film for being utterly different from what the trailers say it is.

Dr. Tamara Yohannes, English professor, always knew in some shape or form she wanted to be a teacher, and feels right at home at the University of Louisville.

"[Dr. Yohannes] is probably one of the most passionate teachers that I've ever encountered," said Nick Browning, a senior English and communication major.
"Music and Lyrics" is a feel good film that charms as it follows in the footsteps of earlier chick flicks like the "Wedding Singer" and "50 First Dates." The chemistry between Drew Barrymore and Hugh Grant makes up for the formulaic plot and their witty banter keeps the story flowing and feeling fresh.
Baseball loses in 9th inning to Southern Miss. The University of Louisville baseball team was edged by the University of Southern Mississippi in the Coca Cola Southern Miss Classic. Chris Cominguez opened the game with a two-run home run that put the Cards up 2-0 early in the first.
"If you're in college, doing your taxes feels like one more final exam. But there's one big difference.

Many students may avoid filing their taxes because they don't think they make enough money.
