By Mallory Sherwood, Managing Editor Face the Facts It is a sad day when, by the middle of September, I am already in daily search of the most outrageous dress code violators.

Facebook finds unlikely subscribers
By Sarah Carlson, Arts Editor I Am The Enemy Wayne Barnard is my friend. I asked him to be my friend on Facebook.com, and he cofirmed the request. Apparently, we have several things in common, such as our love for music and a few of the same movies.
