pre"Have we decided how much groping we're going to have in the show?"
-senior Ross Nover, during a Wednesday rehearsal of 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' in Ward.

Power corrupts, and absolute power turns people into parking scofflaws. A black Chrysler Sebring convertible was seen parked in a Metro bus zone on P Street Tuesday. If it was a tourist making a mistake, that's one thing. But no - not only was the license plate a District one, but also it was bordered with the identification "Ward 2 Councilmember." Next thing you know, they'll let convicted drug offenders run for D.C. City Council.

Like freshmen, the rats on campus seem to have settled in and adjusted. On Monday evening, as one Scene staffer sat in front of Battelle-Tomkins, a rat the size of a woodchuck strolled nonchalantly from the big shrubbery amassment in front of the stairs. It plodded across the sidewalk, under the staffer's legs, and disappeared into the brush behind the bench. Ideally, the campus should not have rats. But if there are rats, they should at least be darting and scuttling for their lives. Unless these AU rats are paying tuition and buying books from the bookstore, they shouldn't be allowed to casually saunter through the Quad.

Oh, the irony of a presidential campaign. The Kerry/Edwards baseball caps sold in Political Americana and Nash's Sporting Goods on Pennsylvania Avenue are hot items. Look at the tag inside the hat and you'll see "Made in the USA by union workers." But this is a recent change. If you purchased one of these caps a couple weeks ago, they would have been made somewhere very different: Vietnam.

Speaking of the election, there is a curious Web site that provides, in multiple formats, the resum?s of George W. Bush and John Kerry: www.tworesumes.com. On the outset, it appears to be a nonpartisan site devoted to conveying clearly the accomplishments and objectives of each candidate. However, the author of the resum?s slips in snide, partisan comments in Kerry's. Just look at the references section of each. Bush's references are Zell Miller, Rudy Giuliani and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Kerry's references are Michael Moore, Dan Rather and Kim Jong-Il. Glowing!

Unsuspecting bathroom goers were surprised Sunday afternoon on the second floor of Mary Graydon Center when a student walked into the men's bathroom, holding a pizza on his left hand, waiter style, and used the facilities. The student then casually walked out of the bathroom - without washing his hands - off to his student group meeting. If this was an episode of "Seinfeld," that pizza would be flagged like nobody's business.

We'd like to welcome to the world the newest member of the Knowles family, Daniel Julez J. Smith. Born to Solange Knowles, 17, and her husband, Daniel Smith, 19, baby Daniel made quite an entrance at his L.A.-area delivery room, weighing in at 9 pounds, 3 ounces, according to WKYS 93.9 FM. Mama Solange, who is actually a "singer" and an "actress" (see "Johnson Family Vacation" for proof), is best known for being Beyonc?'s little sister. Despite the happy times, rumors are circulating that Knowles and Smith's rock-solid, eight-month marriage is about to go the way of acid-washed jeans and the Macarena. In a year that has already seen the break-ups of the beautiful unions of both Britney Spears and Nicky Hilton, one can only hope that Solange and Daniel hold on and give us a reason to keep believing in love.
