Last Friday, a group of NYU students took over a building in hopes of gaining a laundry list of demands from the university. While the NYU protest was less than successful, Cornell has its own history of student protests. While most students have heard of the Straight Takeover in 1969, read about a host of other student protests and the history of activism on campus in this week’s Daze feature.

If activism isn’t your thing, but you’re not quite ready to finish writing that paper (and want to keep reading this one), check out our official list of the best procrastination websites. Postsecret.com is my personal favorite, but you can decide for yourself. For those who are fans of using Facebook to put off doing work, check on Sun Web Editor Chris Barnes’ take on the recent controversy surrounding Facebook’s privacy policy. And, if you procrastinate at the library to the point that you always need a little caffeine rush, flip to page six for a discussion of tea and coffee by Daze’s resident foodie.

For more food, this week’s Shameless Commerce compares steak from good old Wegmans to the crème de la crème from Madison Ave. Or, read about one girl’s tragic struggle with food in this week’s Cornell Diaries.

On a “lighter” note, this week’s Club Profile delves into the world of the Cornell Glowsticking Club.

Finally, make sure to check out some of our favorites — like the fashion page. Aren’t you just dying to find out who this week’s Best Dressed winner is?
