Members of the Mental Notes, JHU's comedy a cappella group, got more than their 15 minutes of fame when they visited the set of CBS's The Price is Right last week. They also got a glimpse into the strange world of gameshow culture.

Kim Airs abandoned a position as a research secretary at Harvard University to "sell rubber dildos to girls." And it was Airs' visit to campus last week that left a least one female Hopkins student feeling that she has just had "the best Saturday night ever."

"I always enjoyed doing step aerobics in high school," said Hopkins senior Jennifer Saito, a personal trainer and group fitness instructor at the Recreation Center. "I wanted to give other people the opportunity to enjoy it and take part in it." Versed in dance, Saito has no reservations about the attention she receives when leading a class. "Being on stage, being in the limelight, it's no big deal," she said. "You just have to prepare. Something like step aerobics is very heavy on choreography."

Confronted by seasonal temperatures and the chill of winter, many Baltimore residents may find themselves heading to their thermostats. But for the 3,000 to 5,000 who are homeless on any given night, such a comfort difference is a moot point.

"Sometimes being 16 is just too young to be off your own," said sophomore Jon Bateman. "But that wasn't the case for me." Now a second year college student at age 18, Bateman is one of a handful of Hopkins students who began their college education at a younger age than the majority of their peers.

It's the early 1980s and American college campuses are still saturated with the residue of the antiestablishment, anti-authority movements of the 1960s and 1970s. In this environment, Johns Hopkins, a competitive, high-stress university, provides a counseling service for it students. The university department is referred to as Counseling and Psychiatric Services and its offices are housed in a building called the White House. Not surprisingly the program follows a stiff medical model.

It's quite possible that it's just my family, but it seems like every time I get a visit from home, the city of Baltimore, Mother Nature or one of other forces that be tries to ensure that no ones wants to venture back down from Massachusetts to see me. We've had our share of unannounced rainstorms, once while attempting to dine outside, one with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning of an Orioles game when there was no shelter in sight and the worst on the Sunday after Thanksgiving during my mother's one and only visit to campus. Imagine how much fun that tour was. We've had our share of parking dilemmas, the most recent of which included observing our new car being towed from a downtown side street and later in the same day getting a ticket while one of my sisters was waiting in the car so we wouldn't get a ticket.

Junior Emily Caporello sings with the Octopodes, a campus a capella group, senior Tanya Weeks plays piano and is the daughter of a choir director, and junior Nikhail Peletar "grew up singing." Put this trio in charge of a student group, and you can bet it will be a harmonious one.

If the only time you use your blender is to whip up margaritas, then perhaps you are underestimating your culinary abilities. One of the debatable pros of living off campus is being off the meal plan and being able to feed yourself what you want, when you want. In addition, even the upgrade from the AMRs to Wolman or McCoy presents a new challenge for the Julia Child or Emeril Lagasse in college students, as these residents now have microwaves and stovetops at their disposals.

After a long, hard day as a Hopkins student, there's nothing like coming home to something soft and cuddly. And if your significant other just isn't cutting it, you may want to consider getting a pet like some of your classmates living off campus.

Senior Dennis Boothe and junior Hardy Simes are big men on campus. Odds are that you didn't know that.

At college, the words work and study can seem synonymous. And at Hopkins you will surely do a lot of studying that is best described as laborious work. If you're lucky though, you may also be one of those who get a "Work Study experience."

You've got to love a hometown that produces minds like that of filmmaker John Waters.

To make your transition to college easier, the News-Letter has provided you with a local lingo guide. You say you love the News-Letter already? Aww, thanks. Anyway, when you meet a BME who lives in the AMRs, leaving the beach and heading to D-level to study DifEq in order to avoid AcPro, we want you to have the correct response ready. Save the blank face for your classes. Welcome to Hopkins.

I never liked my mother's/father's/brother's cooking enough to miss it when I arrived at college. I was rarely home at dinnertime during high school either, not that my family ever really sat together to eat that often anyway. And truthfully, though I'm a picky vegetarian, I'm usually satisfied with a salad and peanut butter smeared on something. So that said, I figured pre-arrival at JHU that I'd survive just about any meal plan. In fact, I'm probably more anxious now about being off the Hopkins feeding program and fending for myself starting this fall. I'm also curious to see how you froshies and sophomores will fare on the new meal plan and a little jealous of some new dining options.

A Hopkins goal is scored and the crowd predictably goes wild. The University's Pep Band, right on cue, pounds out two renditions of "To Win."

Daily, you inattentively walk by the many monuments and memorial statues that are scattered about the Homewood campus. Each of these structures has a story that tells a unique piece of Hopkins history. However, despite what these monuments contribute to campus, there are probably very few individuals who can name them all.
