Welcome back to our final edition of the circuit of Block 3. Oh wow, how the time flies. We are now coming up on five blocks left of our senior year. And while we are sick over that fact, we couldn’t finish our fall IM experience without learning a little more about our Intramural Achilles heel: Flag Football. This is a historically male-dominated sport — it’s the only IM that doesn’t have a requirement for there to be at least two girls, if they are the under-represented gender, on the field/court at all times. Now we’re in the postseason and the four remaining teams unfortunately lack female energy. But what they lack in girl-power, they attempt to make up for in varsity team chemistry. Two of the four remaining teams are composed almost entirely of members of the Men’s Varsity Lacrosse Team. Since their season doesn’t start until spring, they dominate fall intramurals instead.

Common Quandary

A Common Quandary to discuss

Another conversation to explore, separate from this news story.

One friend is rich, one is broke, and everyone ordered differently. How do you split dinner?

A group of longtime friends traditionally divides restaurant bills equally. Their incomes have grown increasingly unequal, and one friend now declines gatherings because even their share is difficult to afford while others order without thinking about price.

When should friendship adjust for differences in wealth?
