"You can see that you are actually making a difference," said Jenna Steltenpohl Kappa Delta Sorority member on what inspired her to participate in her sorority's Annual ShamRock and Run.
This year's ShamRock and Run, a 5K race which took place in Iroquois Park this past Saturday with 535 participants, is Kappa Delta's main philanthropy project throughout the year; the U of L chapter raised over $10,000.

When posed with the above question, some students may believe that determination and effort alone should merit an "A."
However, many professors shake their heads at this notion, knowing that in order to obtain such a high mark, students have to do more than just show up to class.

The University of Louisville's Department of Health and Sport Sciences is designed to prepare its students to be leaders in all areas of sports management.
 But are students in the program really getting the chance to prove themselves as leaders?
When it comes to management training, what could be more beneficial than actual hands-on experience?

For Chris Prentice, gambling has become too comfortable and familiar to exhilarate him in quite the same way as it once did.
"I used to [get excited gambling], but now it's become second nature to me," said Prentice, a senior communication major. "It's like riding a bike: a rush at first but old habit after a while."

I am the author of the book, Honest Patriots, which on March 5 received the Grawemeyer award in religion for 2009.  Darren McVey's column of that week in your campus newspaper is proof that he read at least some of the book.  In some respects, he read it carefully.  In some other respects, he did not read it at all.

Last week I went on a joyride.
On March 26, the Student Activities Boards, in cooperation with Universal Pictures, held a special pre-showing of the newest "Fast and the Furious" movie at the Baxter Avenue Theatre on Bardstown road.

In 2008, girls across the University of Louisville's campus were given an opportunity for the first time in 40 years to participate in the Miss U of L pageant. The winner of this preliminary contest goes on to compete to represent our state as Miss Kentucky, and eventually Miss America.

During these tough economic times, it seems easy to focus on what we don't have; a local campus group however, has decided instead to focus on what it could give.
Earlier this year, the University of Louisville's chapter of the Golden Key Society turned a community service project into a generous donation for those less fortunate. 
"One of the missions of Golden Key is to involve members into two big literacy projects a year," said James Lee, a U of L grad student and co-president of Golden Key.  "For the past several years, Golden Key has paired up with [Family Scholar House] to run a book drive."

While efforts have been made to increase the variety of food options on the University of Louisville campus in the past year, it is clear that a nutritional deficit still persists within these expanded food options. 
New restaurant options like "Freshens" and "Jazzman's" may offer some healthier options, but fast food still has a much larger presence on campus. "Quick Zone" may carry salads, but by Sunday afternoon there are only a handful left, and these are no longer fresh.
