An alternative to pizza: teach yourself to cook
Find some used utensils and a cookbook. Then try using your kitchen.
Amid the excitement of the new semester, many of us are picking up the phone and ordering that "Welcome Back Students" pizza special. Delivery and fast food make our hectic college lives easier. Or maybe they just make us fatter. The "freshman 15" certainly doesn't owe its infamy to "Welcome Back Students" specials on brussel sprouts and tuna wraps.
As students we need to study not only what goes into our brains, but what goes into our mouths. Now is as good a time as any to learn to eat sensibly. But how might college students escape the grease, the cheese, the drive-thru ease? "What can we do?" you ask. "Won't we starve?" What we need to do is (sound this out with me) learn how to C-O-O-K.
Don't stop reading now.
You might be thinking, "I don't have the time or money to cook for myself," "Cooking is too complicated," or "What do you mean by cook? Like with ingredients?" Cooking, like microbiology, freaks people out. But cooking, unlike microbiology, is not difficult. With the right tools, ingredients and recipes, creating your own food can be fast, easy, healthy and cheap.

"What can we do?' you ask. 'Won't we starve?' What we need to do is (sound this out with me) learn how to C-O-O-K."
Besides, what time in your life is best for you to learn to make food? When you are done with college and working 9 to 5? Or will you get around to it when you start raising children and
paying mortgages? Or, most frighteningly,
when you can no longer convincingly order the
"Welcome Back Students" pizza special?
Ask your parents for the measuring cups, spatulas and spoons they've replaced but not discarded. Pool resources with your roommates. Go to the grocery store. Take this opportunity as a college student to hone your cooking skills — it's a lesson that, unlike microbiology, you're sure to use in the real world.

challenge to religious students was making time for their religion, especially for Jewish students, whose Sabbath begins Friday night and ends Saturday at sundown.
"Friday night is a major social night and students have to decide while their friends are going out to bars and parties to stay home and go to a synagogue," he said.
Ross Brand, Long Grove, Ill., junior and president of Alpha Epsilon Pi, said he never felt the need to stray from his religious beliefs and being involved in a campus ministry helped him maintain a religious lifestyle.
Jewish students can integrate their faith and their social life by joining traditionally Jewish fraternities and sororities like Alpha Epsilon Pi and Sigma Delta Tau. Religious clubs and groups like Navigators and Campus Christians also allow students to connect with people of similar religious views.
For some students, exploring new ways to fit religious life into college life opens the door to new standards of living. Corey Rittmaster, Hillel Jewish student life coordinator, said exploring new lifestyles gave students a chance to weave their religious views into other aspects of their lives.
"All too often, people come to college and it's a choice of whether to become an independent person or to remain Jewish." Rittmaster said. "They don't have to be separate ideas."

60 Minutes reporter to replace Rather
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Veteran 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl will become host of another CBS newsmagazine, 48 Hours Investigates, this fall, the network said Wednesday.
Stahl will keep her job on 60 Minutes.
CBS is changing the name and on-air look of the newsmagazine, called simply 48 Hours for its first 15 years. This fall, it will focus more on crime and real-life dramas in a single-topic format.
Dan Rather was anchor of the show, but he's stepping down to devote more time to the CBS Evening News and 60 Minutes II.
Stahl has been CBS' White House correspondent and moderated Face the Nation before joining 60 Minutes.
"Few journalists command the hard-earned respect and credibility of Lesley Stahl," CBS News president Andrew Heyward said. "48 Hours Investigates will afford Lesley another well-established outlet for her formidable talents."
She begins the new job Sept. 27.
