Pat...
A "how'd-you-know-I-was-such-a-sucker-for-baked-goods?" pat to the thoughtful girls who brought me cookies after I lugged their couch home from the thrift store.

From a very grateful junior who's lucky at least a few girls know the way to a man's heart.

Dart...
A "wake-up-and-smell-the-trash" dart to a certain apartment complex for charging apartments $100 for finding bags of trash by the overflowing dumpsters without evidence that the residents left them there.

From an outraged senior who urges students looking for off-campus housing to go where the apartment complex respects its tenants.

Pat...
A "way-to-keep-it-real" pat to the girl at UREC Monday night who was rockin' Timberlands and huge hoop earrings when she was "working out."

From a UREC frequenter who's glad to see that you're keeping things in perspective and treat UREC as a fashion show and not a place to achieve much-needed physical fitness.

Dart...
A "simmer-down-now" dart to those who feel like they need to send a dart to every opinion writer who expresses his or her First Amendment rights.

From a senior who is tired of people being so uptight and taking it out on people who care enough to write about their beliefs.

Pat...
A "thanks-for-being-longer-than-usual" pat to the line of cars extending from Zane Showker Hall to Port Republic Road Tuesday afternoon.

From a junior who enjoyed the extra time to listen to her new Clay Aiken compact disc on the ride home.

Dart...
A "way-to-create-the-illusion-of-control" dart to whoever or whatever controls the heating in residence halls.

From a temperature-imbalanced student who thought that having a thermostat in the room meant he actually could control the heating and air conditioning instead of having hot air when it's hot outside and cold air when it's cold outside.
