By Stone Ferrell Finding senior Michael Mosley’s house is pretty easy. All you have to do is look for the yard covered in paint cans. The inside of the Daniel Street house is just as distinguishable as the outside. It looks like somebody pulled the front porch in on a living room that just happened [...]

Beer Review: A Taste of Fredericksburg
By Charlotta Jarborg Turning 21 opens up a lot of doors to fun activities, and one of them is only a short car ride away. Fredericksburg’s own microbrewery Blue and Gray is a must for any respectable, beer-chugging college student. Not only does the beer taste great, the name even happens to contain our school [...]
Kingston Trio: 51 Years Old and Still Rocking
By Landon James The Kingston Trio brought a roof-raising UMW performance to UMW last Friday that could have easily stopped any pacemakers present in the audience. The Trio, who burst onto the musical scene in 1957, sustained a packed Dodd Auditorium for an hour while delivering hit after hit of folk explosion. Tickets sold to [...]
Less Talk More Rock: Battle of the Bands
By Stone Ferrell and Tali Schiller Two minutes into their song and The Console War is in trouble. Will Copps, drummer for the band–not to mention his day jobs as head of Giant and Editor-in-Chief of the Bullet–has just leapt from his seat and, sticks in hand, makes a run for the amplifiers.

By Susannah Clark There’s an Easy-Bake Oven in my basement. While this statement is probably applicable to countless other suburban family households, I have a feeling no one else can say theirs was purchased for and by the same 17-year-old brat. My mother was, among other things, a toy snob. She avoided the commercial and [...]
Sexclamations
By KJ Adler When I was a little girl, my dad loved taking me to the auto shows. They were great. The two dollar pretzels and nachos, the “who-can-maintain-contact-with-a-car-longest” contests, the concept cars—they all added a special something to the whole experience. But what always got me was that the tradition of having gorgeous models [...]
Olympics Urge Human Rights
By Luke Hostetter A shadow has been cast over the typical celebration and joy that surrounds the arrival of the summer Olympics. The human rights record of China has thrown the 2008 Games into a sea of controversy and is threatening to extinguish the eternal Olympic flame. China’s presence in Tibet is inciting protests and [...]
SGA Member Asks For Unity
The following letter was written in response to “SGA Inefficiency is Due to Apathy” (April 10, 2008, The Bullet.) In last week’s Bullet issue, one Catherine Dexter wrote an article entitled “SGA Inefficiency Due to Apathy.” I do agree that apathy is a huge problem on campus, which is demonstrated by the small percentage of [...]
