Volleyball preview

  With a 21-12 record last season, and a 12-2 record in the WVIAC, the Shepherd Rams volleyball team has a high standard to hold itself to in its 2010 campaign.  With the departure of six seniors, all of which contributed to the team’s success, this year’s team will be missing the experience and veteran leadership of those players.

Sexploits

An enlightened response to, “That’s what she said.”

  English 101 contains no practical information about the human penis.  I’m not suggesting that course standards should be re-evaluated, but there should be some point in our lives where we have honest, down-to-earth discussions of genitalia – what’s normal and what isn’t.
