NEWPORT, R.I.- Every little girl dreams of her perfect wedding day. The church elegantly dressed in blossoming rose petals. A five- tier cake laced in pearls. The most decadent white gown encrusted in jewels and diamonds. The perfect prince awaits the beautiful princess to pledge their eternal love for each other.

As a part of the Student Activity Board’s Late Night Wakehurst weekend events, Casino Night is back, bigger then ever. The annual event will take place in Salve Regina’s Ochre Court on February 26, 2010 at 8 p.m.

This year Casino Night will take place in a new venue explains Bart Carithers, head of the Student Activities.

Be a freak. Being cool is overrated.

Most wise advice I’ve ever heard from a Facebook bumper sticker. Life experience tells me that being “cool” is really and truly not everything that most of the mass media (i.e. shows like “Jersey Shore”) makes it out to be.

That special day of the year is coming, and no, it is not Christmas. For most people associated with films, it’s even better. It’s the day where hordes of lucky patrons wearing extravagant evening wear attend the event that reigns as an epitome of high society and associates itself with many big names in Hollywood.

From the first years of our lives, we’ve witnessed it, fallen victim to it or participated in it. As we got older, we thought it would remedy itself; it didn’t always. Bullying has always been an issue among school-age children, only now it transcends beyond the boundaries of playgrounds and school corridors.
