Our Pulse is pounding for students We’re back! And we’re already working hard to try to give you what you want. For those of you who haven’t read Pulse before, it’s the Emerald’s weekly arts and entertainment sec tion. And for you longtime readers — “longtime” referring to our less than-two-year existence—we have a few new things in store for you, which you can look forward to each week. But not to worry; we’re not chang ing everything. We still intend to of fer the same diverse coverage that Pulse has always provided. We just want to add a little more: a little more variety, a little more conven ience. For those of you who love re views, you’re in luck. Remember flipping through your copy of Pulse, trying to locate all of the randomly placed reviews? No more. In this is sue, you will note, all of our reviews are collected together and located under a cleverly named heading: “Reviews.” But wait; there’s more! We already frequently review CDs, films and live performances. But now, we’ll more often let you know what we think about books, videos and even video games. And — who knows? — maybe more. And for those of you who just 15 Minutes Get involved by submitting your original work to our new "15 Min utes” section.

In fact, I was just about to give you the answer. Remember “Cheap Date”? It’s contents include ways to treat that special someone to a nice day or evening out without totally empty ing your bank account. Well, no matter how hard you look, you won’t find it in this week’s issue. But stay tuned. We do plan to fea ture it this term. And remember our syndicated advice column, “Ask Harlan”? Sor ry fans; not everything can be sal vaged. Until we get enough positive feedback, we’re putting him on the back burner. But the idea of an ad vice column of some sort has not been dismissed. Keep your sugges tions rolling in. But, what’s new, you ask? For one thing, while college life has the infa mous reputation of constant party ing and beer guzzling, it’s important to remember that alcohol-free fun is not obsolete. Each week, we’ll fea ture “Good Clean Fun,” highlight ing a drug- and alcohol-free event or activity. Finally, Pulse is not about us; it’s about you. That’s why we want your contributions.

Hey, it’s the least we can do to make you a part of Pulse. Send us your original poems, anecdotes, artwork ... anything! We’ll also feature student polls in this section, which you’ll notice in this issue, to reveal what you have to say about entertainment and pop culture-related issues.
