You'll Laugh, You'll Cry, You'll Sing

It's Thursday, meaning time to catch up on all the news you missed while studying for midterms in this week's NewsLetter. We take a look back at a nail bitting win for the women's hockey team, earning them a College Hockey America championship victory. We all know how the men's basketball game with Duke went, but the student support never faltered as they hunkered down in a snowy camp-out. SU a capella groups filled Goldstein Auditorium with their Winter Carnival performances. Laughter makes it way into scene with a new student-run, underground comedy club, The Playground. Follow along with all things Academy Awards with the launch of our Reel Talk Podcast. Also for you movie lovers, read our review on "Cyrano" to see if this tragedy is for you.
