The first women's lacrosse game wasn't played until the late 19th century at the St. Leonard's School in Scotland. At that time, men and women's lacrosse was played pretty much the same way?i.e., with no protective equipment and almost identical rules. While men's lacrosse rules adapted and changed over time, women's stayed almost identical to the original format. In fact, it's easy to see that from the way women's lacrosse is played today ? there is limited stick and body contact allowed, hence there is no need for much protective equipment. The female lacrosse player today must be quick and adroit, with a masterful command of play strategy, foot movement and cradling.

As a typical student's years at Hopkins pass, it will probably seem like the places to entertain and be entertained decrease marginally (yet ever so distinctly) in the same fashion as their cumulative GPA points. Parents' and friends' visits gradually require more effort and planning, more research and asking around. No longer will an a cappella concert or a football game do to pass the afternoon or the time between coming and going. There's one place I take my parents without fail, every time they come to visit - McCormick and Shmick's - located downtown in the Pier 5 hotel. The food is always delicious, with a seafood selection that would make even the home-grown, Eastern seaboard native proud. Besides, what other restaurant around here boasts oysters "from both coasts?"

At some point in the early '90s, health-food stores emerged along with their sister bagel shops, coffee houses and sun-dried tomato foccacia bread. I think that the concurring abundance of all such nouveau yuppie destinations, at that particular point in time, probably coincided with me entering into a teenage stage of believing that I really was what I ate. Nonetheless, the taste for sushi, soy foods and Starbucks coffee replaced the former, simple cravings for White Castle and Taco Bell. It was at this time, while on vacation in southern California, that I fell in love with every health-food addict's favorite store: Trader Joe's.

There was no reason why I should have missed the application deadline for work abroad this past summer. Though there are usually issues in the periphery that lead me to distraction and preoccupation, I have this terrible tendency to be on top of 99 percent of my obligations at hand, while completely forgetting a crucial few. The point of that insight into my life was to explain how I ended up working in a hospital this summer, in the heart of cow-country Ohio. Despite the complete contradiction between what I wanted to be doing and what I was, I ended up gaining some interesting information and some new perspectives on life.

For those of you who have continued to read this article, despite the scary headline, we intend to inform you of why Maryland is known as the "crab capital" of the U.S. and to provide some ways for you to enjoy them. Just to clarify, we're talking about the kind that you use Old Bay spice on and steam in a pot.

For anyone who went to H-Fest last Friday, or perhaps walked past the usually-not-so-crowded beach, you may have discovered that there are actually some cool things going on at Hopkins. So cool, they even give you a free t-shirt. I didn't go to it. I was sleeping. However, I heard it was pretty worthwhile. Well, there happens to be another such t-shirt giving event in the very near future. That is, of course, the Phi Psi 500.

Fall break is up and coming, and if you're like the majority of people who call states to the west of Maryland home, you probably aren't jumping on an airplane because of the three-day weekend. I have to admit though, when I was a freshman, my first thought was to make the trek home for some good food and my former bed. That was until I realized that the single extra day off didn't warrant the time and money it would entail-yeah, and my parents also said no. With no car and little money, it is still possible to get off campus for the weekend. And, you don't have to wait until the school gives us another measly vacation (i.e. Thanksgiving) to do it. Sometimes the best road trips happen at the most unexpected times.

I have been convinced that sushi is one of the best foods in the world. Not only does it fulfill my desire to eat something other than the usual fare served at Wolman, it's delicious and satisfying, without the full and glutinous feeling that comes from eating a cheeseburger or pizza. Niwana, located adjacent to the Pike house on 33rd St., happens to be one of the best places to get quality sushi as well as a large variety of Asian cuisine for affordable prices.

You don't have to be a girl to want to drink something that tastes good. Granted, it is cheaper and easier to stock your fridge with Beast or PBR, but sometimes it's just more enjoyable to have a margarita or a daiquiri. It can also be fun to challenge your local bartender to see how far their drink knowledge goes.

The process of brewing beer at home is slightly akin to many ventures in the culinary arts. Granted, beer is a bit different from cr?me brule or chocolate mousse, but its creation requires the same meticulous and careful input as Martha Stewart's gourmet desserts. And there is the same chance that the finished product will either delight your company enough to have them say, "Damn, that was good. Can we have a second round?" or it will cause them to gag and never come to another of your dinner parties ever again.

It's a little over seven months until Cinco de Mayo. I say this only because the fifth of May was the last time I drank a glass of sangria. However, the last time I checked there didn't have to be an upcoming holiday in order to plan a party or to drink - usually, any old excuse will do. The best way to party is with both food and beverages, so I've combined my two favorite recipes for the hottest party this side of B-more: Apricot chicken and sangria.

The Johns Hopkins Ballroom Dance Association (JHUBDA) is not one of the most widely-known student groups on campus; however, it has a great deal more to offer than the everyday math, science or even soccer association. With classes this semester in both Latin and Swing dancing, JHUBDA can teach you the hot moves necessary to cut up the dance floor and waltz the night away.

Beer, pizza, Terrace, Wolman, RoFo fried chicken and Orient Express - six reasons why every student at Hopkins should have a weekly exercise routine.

It's hard not to find a travel bargain these days. As we all know, taking the trip that you've always dreamed of can have a hefty price tag when you consider all of the things needed while trekking across western or eastern Europe. It's hard enough being away from the 'rents at college and having to foot your own laundry bill, let alone pay for an exciting excursion overseas. Budget travelers often anticipate the most expensive part of travel to be the airfare, yet for the past six weeks, that has not been the case.

Located mid-way down North Charles Street in the small section of Baltimore City called Mount Vernon is a small Afghani restaurant called the Helmand. My first visit to this quaint yet modern venue was this past Monday night, when seven or so friends and I trekked downtown for a late dinner. I was surprised by the elegance of the interior, mostly because I suddenly became aware of my totally inappropriate attire. Jeans and flip-flops were not the worst thing I could've been wearing, but the decor definitely called for a more elegant pair of pants and shoes.

Ever since the death of the beloved humanitarian and world-renowned nun, Mother Teresa, church officials have been putting together a case for her sainthood. There are many letters written by her in which she described the futility and the suffering involved in her work as a healer and a comforter.

Street after street in downtown Baltimore is lined with an architectural phenomenon that has almost become the symbol of a city: the row house. While the style of houses varys almost by block, the community created by these tightly-packed residences has great historical significance. Many Hopkins students make their upperclassmen homes in the row homes of St. Paul and Calvert Streets.

Any Hopkins girl, or any female student in the state of Maryland for that matter, will soon be confronted with the horrible reality of a particular arcane and ancient law that is still on the books. Regardless of its absurdity, the brothel law (yes, the brothel law) of Maryland still affects the living situations of thousands of college-aged girls. Under this old law, sorority housing is illegal because it allows over five females to live under one roof. While Hopkins has adhered to this law (I cite our lack of Kappa and Theta houses), we have egregiously broken a stranger Maryland law right here on our Homewood campus.

It's hard as a freshman in college to find a place where you can just sit back with some friends, enjoy a cold beverage and talk about life. Most find that their first year of college is more about binge drinking to the point at which you can't even say the words "beast" and "light" in the same sentence without feeling a twinge of nausea.
