Opinions: King of clubs
In general, clubs are good for society. The sandwich version is undeniably delicious, the caveman-style sticks for whacking people over the head are first-rate (just ask Bam Bam from "The Flintstones"), and the golf ones have their value as well.

Oh, and as for the on-campus organization version … well, those are OK too, we suppose, if only there were literally a few hundred less of them. As today's paper shows, there's yet another, the Cigar Aficionados Club (alternatively known to 1990s political enthusiasts as the Bill Clinton Fan Club), starting up.

Opinions: Naughty or nice, you'd better watch out
MAPES: "Oh. My. God," Ashley said out loud to herself as she scanned the Facebook feed that glowed ominously in front of her face, greeting her with tidbits about the digital lives of her dearest acquaintances, friends and "frenemies."

"I cannot believe that Bobby is 'in a relationship" with that skank Cathy! He just messaged me the other day saying how much he missed me and wanted to see me! I am going to un-friend him right now."

Opinions: When the party dies down
SPIVACK: My name is Joshua Spivack, and I like to party. But my idea of "partying" and my strong sincere desire to waste the night away has evolved and changed.

I was once a freshman here, and I consider myself lucky to have made it through with only one broken hand and one arrest. I still wonder how it's possible I made it through the dorms, and I still miss those days as if I know they were my best.

Opinions: Finally seeing the light
DEVOE: Ever since I first heard about the light rail years ago, I thought no one would ride it, but it seems I'll probably be riding it once it opens in December.

I was always fortunate enough to live close to my school, close enough to walk or get a quick ride from my parents, and I never had to take the bus.
