To the Outer Limits, and Back
The student-led Outing Club (BUOC) is fueled by a lust for adventure and exploration. Started in 1945, members embark on dozens of trips throughout the year, from overnight backpacking expeditions to canoeing on the Charles River. Other trips have [...]taken them on historic hikes around Massachusetts, day trips to the Middlesex Fells and the Blue Hills Reservation, and an end-of-semester kayaking expedition on the Charles that draws more than 100 people.

Icons Among Us: The John R. Silber Symphonic Organ
There aren’t too many musical instruments large enough to walk through.
But make your way to the Metcalf Ballroom, on the second floor of the George Sherman Union, take the interior stairs, hang a left, jog up a couple of more steps, and [...]you’ll be strolling through a veritable symphonic park, small forests of silver pipes behind sections of glass. Even silent, the John R. Silber Symphonic Organ is a stunning sight.
Just wait until you hear it.

Youspeak: Mac vs. PC
We asked students to weigh in on that ongoing debate: Mac versus PC. Champions of PCs argue they’re better for browsing, easier to play video games on, and cost a lot less than Apple’s Macs. Those in the Mac camp say they are less [...]likely to get viruses and are lighter and sleeker than any PC.

Terrier Icewomen Poised for Power
Women’s ice hockey coach Brian Durocher isn’t one to rest on his blades—er, laurels.
After leading the Terriers to their first-ever Hockey East title and an NCAA tournament berth last year, Durocher is skating into his sixth [...]season with three decidedly deadly new weapons, ones he hopes will help launch the squad back to the national championships.
So what kind of heat is Durocher packing? How does two Olympic gold medalists and one member of the Canadian National Team sound?
This fall, defender Catherine Ward (GSM’12) and forwards Marie-Philip Poulin (SED’14) and Jenn Wakefield (CAS’12) laced up their skates, donned red-and-white jerseys, and took to the ice at Walter Brown Arena. Last winter, Ward and Poulin were busy breaking American hearts in the 2010 Winter Olympics, in Vancouver. Poulin, in fact, scored both goals in the gold-medal game against Team USA. Wakefield, a member of the Canadian National Team and a 2010 Olympic alternate, has already notched three goals and two assists as a Terrier in the first two games of the 2010–11 season.

Elliot: BU’s Number One Fan
Among BU athletes, coaches, referees, and spectators, he’s achieved single-name status, like Prince or Slash. On game night, at Walter Brown Arena or Agganis, he can’t take five steps without someone clapping him on the back or clasping [...]his hand. He’s equal parts mascot, rabbit’s foot, and historian—and all parts passion. He is, simply, Elliot. The Terriers’ ultimate, hands-down, number-one ultra-fan.

YouSpeak: Depression at BU
In our weekly feature “YouSpeak,†we ask students to answer a single question. Because Thursday, October 7, is annual National Depression Screening Day, part of Mental Health Awareness Week, this week’s question is more serious [...]than previous ones. Colleges across the country are holding a one-day screening program to help identify students suffering from depression or at risk for the disease, which is believed to affect as many as 45 percent of college students.
