It provided a much needed balance to the administration-controlled student paper The Daily Beacon. It pioneered university instructor evaluations, and helped students with landlord evaluations and humor.

Cemetery of the Capuchins, Roma

E-mail Print PDF
I visited the Cemetery of the Capuchins during my honeymoon to Italy in 2001. The crypt is located in the basement of a small church along a crowded Rome street. It's really the last place you expect to find elbaorate ornate works of art created from human bones. They do not allow photography, but you can purchase a book of postcards which appears below. It's a humbling, macabre experience of mortality when imagining that each of the many skulls belonged to a head not unlike one's own.
