ask: docs the casual hook-up actually exist?
Even within the arena of dating in college
che cerm "hooking up" can mean several
different things. Some say «hat you have to
have sex with someone for it to be consid·
ered a hook.up. O«hers juSl «hink makfog
out in your bed and sleeping oyer is con·
sidered hooking up. We won't even gee into
,he complications cre~uei:i by hooking up
with people on a small c.ampus (trusc me,
«here arc eyes and cars everywhere). With
all these differenc connotations, hookfog
up has become way 100 complicated and
made it hard co keep things casual. Howev·
er, after some re.search I have come to 6nd
that many people plan on keeping h infor·
mal. But unfortunately, sometimes science
stands in the way of a good time. Afcer all,
wasn'r it Freud who said, "'Our libido is the
basic and most powerful human drive?"
It all begins with some casual talking or
grinding at the Jug, but beware. Something
so innoccnt.i:ould turn serious back in the
~droom. When men and women engage
in sex or sexual acts, different levels of hor·
mones arc released and as a result men and
women feel differently about their partners

after doing the deed. Men.and women both

uusting of your sexual partner. Unfortunately, it has been researched chat women
feel the effects of this hormone more than
men do, because of higher csuogen levels
in women. The higher levels of testosterone
in men suppress oxytocin's effccu. In order
to try and keep things informal we have
to understand why these bonding feelings
come abour in the first place.
Boys, next rime you find yourself in a
confusing and awkward relationship try
to remember that it's not our fauh that we
felt a connection with you. Jamie Foxx told
us to "'Blame it on the Alcohol" when we

ways for a ca.sua.l hook-up co actually exist
would be to ignore these feelings we have

Some suggcnions to keep it casual would

But ~t's so cool about being openly queer? Aren't we just lilc, everyone else? Hasn't that been our message all these years? Well, yes and no. The

Our hero Alex is simply the most deranged, confused and violent character in film history.
His daily chcckli« consiJ!S of rape, murdc.r and whole milk. Alex portrays what cvc.ry man
could be in a society with no laws: an animal 1ha1 only seeks pleasure.

BY JOSH GLICK

This Friday, David Fincher's Tht Soci11/ NttlJJ(Jr/t opens in thearres everywhere. Early
reviews of the film have deemed it the next American classic and have compared it to

Citiun Klint, All tht Prtsidnrts Mtn and Th, Gr,u/1111tt. All of these reviewers have said
that Jutic Euenberg's portrayal of Mark Zuckerberg is at par with Al Pacino's porrrayal of Michael Corlconc in Tht Godfathtr (and if 1ha1 isn't high praise, I don't know
what is.)
·
All of these previously meniioned films arc all centered around one central aspect
- man's urge for power. Tht Soand Citiien /G,ne show us man in his mosc simple yet real form - as an animal that will
do anything 10 win his respective game against other men. Thus, in honor of what I
hope will be the movie of ,he year, here arc flvc of the most powerful male characters in
fllm hiStory.

The Feel of Fashion

If you arc anything like me, you sometimes dread putting on a pa.ir
of jeans bccaruc denim can be such a coarse fabric and you tend to
pet le.arher jackccs to assess if they arc
supple enough for your wte (I know
you do!). That is co say, for me, a garment is just as much about what it is
made of as it is about how it is cut; its
appeal is very much a function of the
material and its feel.

"Obviously being the first Parrio, Le:igi,,

As can be expec1cd. the game sum.-d off a bit

goal was a big confidence boos< for us considering we haven't seen the frui<> of our labor pay off.

DOWN ANO DIRTY: Raider Matt Schuber battles off a Lehigh defender to gain possession of the ball. With the win, Colgate is now 1-0 in the Patriot League and 4-1 -3 overall.

Football Trumped by Syracuse in Upstate Rivalry
BY JORDAN PLAUT

,._,s,....uAft.er all of the anticipation, this is not
the way the Raiders wanted to renew their

oldest rivalry.
Syracuse running bad< Ddone Carter ran
for 172 yards and scored four ,ouchdowns on
the Raldcrs, allowing the Orange to pull away
in the second half. beating Colg:ue 42-7 at the
Carrier Dome on Saturday.
It was Syncu,e's 6m meeting with Cclpte
sinct a 52-6 win in 1987 and their 15th
straight win in the series. The Orange have
faced the Raiden 66 times, and 'Gate still holds
a31·30·SedseIn this pine, junior running bod< Nate
Eachus t.d the Raldcrs with 147 yards and a
touchdown. Jwiior quarterback Greg Sullivan
i--J for 1-46 yards as Colp.e conaolled the
ball for almoot 44 minutes. Unfonunauly, it
was not neadyenougb,asColpewashuneorly

by perulties and the superior athleticism of the
Orange later on in the game.
Colga,e (1- 2) open«! rhe game with an imp!Ro.nick. 'Gate m.,,..j the ball all the way down
to the Syracuse 1S-yard line before a &iled
fourth-and-three anemp, ended i,.
Syracuse (>-1) immedia,ely responded
with great foro:, only ro scall on fourth-andgoal from the Colgate 4. Still, it did not tali,
long for the gamble ro pay off.
The Raiden went three-and-our and sophomore kicker Evan Goldszak's punt sailed
out of bounds at the Colgate 45 to give the
Orange great 6dd position. Two plays later,
Carter sooted on a 24-yard run olf the right
radde for a 7--0 lead.
The next ~ries was tut short for 'Gate with
an intercq,rion by senior 6-e safety Moo,
Holmes. Syracuse was on the brink of KOring anocber rouchdown when senior safety

Mike Bany knocked rhe ball ~ on a corner
bliiz, allowing junior linemen Greg Kafaf ro
scoop it up.
Though they did nor move the ball, the
Raiders controlled rhe tempo and ran a lot of
clock in the fim half. They were set to enter
the locker room in great shape.
Then Syncu,e's Holmes returned a Colgate
punt 22 yards ro near mid6dd with time winding down, giving rhc Orange a big break. Syra~ quaru:rbock Ryan Nassib then hit junior
wide rcc,civcr Van Chew for 6 ya,ds, allowing
Syracuse to gain 9 yards on a keeper. Nassib then completed a pass ro junior running
back Anrwon Bailey with a 10-yard pass over
rhc middle. Bailey rumed the n,ss into a 37yard touchdown pass, somemulting into the
end :r.one to give Syracuse a I 4-0 11,ad
with 1:48.
For the Raick11 to have a chanct against
Syracuse, they needed ro keep rhc ball away
from the Orange. They dld, and the sm.tegy

worked for most of rhe 611, half as Eachus
carried the load, rushing 20 rimes for 62 yards.
.. I think our game plan worked to a point,"
Head Coach Dick Biddle said. "You want ro
control the ball, bur you also want to score
points. I think it was worlc.ing, we jwt weren't
able ro finish the drive, and that's a credit ro
them. They clatnped down and wc needed to
play perfect football to win. The only thing
that bothered me really was th.it wc kt them
KOre before the half. Bur overall the effort
and intensity was oursW>ding. especWly
from the defense."
The Raiders also gambled three time,
on fourth down in the opening half, converting twice, and holding the. ball for a
whopping 23:39. ' Gare did, however, also
commit seven penalties for 60 yard.s, disrupting the offensive flow and repeadng
mbtakcs made during the previous game
against Furman.
