From Oct. 21-23, the Drama Department will start off its new season with The Seussification of Romeo and Juliet and The Rules of Comedy. Both are one-act, 40-minute comedies that turn the traditional story of Romeo and Juliet upside down.
The Drama Department has been performing serious and dramatic plays for the past three years. This year, they plan to incorporate comedy. “It was time to lighten up the acts,” Theatre Director Deirdre Alexander said.

In the past month, there has been a tremendous outburst of suspensions in college football because players breached the NCAA-established regulations and conditions of their amateur statuses. A.J Green, wide receiver for the Georgia Bulldogs and potential top five NFL draft pick, has been suspended for the first four games of this season for selling his game-worn jersey for 5,000 dollars. 15 UNC football players were ruled ineligible for their opening game against the No. 21 ranked LSU Tigers for alleged contact with an agent. Most notably, on June 11th Reggie Bush, during his two years at USC, was accused and convicted of violating NCAA policy by accepting improper benefits from outside sources after a year and a half long investigation by the NCAA. Because of his conviction, Reggie Bush willingly gave up his 2005 Heisman Trophy.
