Did you go to Yollege?

For seemingly obvious reasons, college websites don't tend to provide information on the hottest nightspots or where the cutest guys and girls congregate. However, that's not to assume that a lot of us wouldn't find this information helpful.

UC Davis graduates Michael Kim and Dan Greenberg solved this problem with yollege.com. Both said that they like to think of the website as an insider's guide to everything one needs to know about the college experience.

Seeing the world in a whole new way

A man's curiosity led him into the operating room to undergo a procedure that could restore his vision or take his life. After unwrapping the bandage, he could see the world again after 43 years of blindness. But was the world what he expected, or was it all just a big disappointment?

Eight years after his surgery, Michael May spoke on Tuesday night at the Davis Musical Theatre Company about his experiences before and after regaining his eyesight. The lecture was hosted by Explorit Science Center.

Correction

In the Oct. 8 article "Dining in Davis: Crepe House Uni," restaurant owner Sagat Cheung was mistakenly referred to as "he." Cheung is female. The Aggie regrets the error.

Students take advantage of special sale

Dozens of undergraduate and graduate students lined up for hours in order to take advantage of the Mondavi Center's student ticket sale.

In an effort to promote student attendance at Mondavi Center concert events, 10 percent of the total tickets available for each performance were reserved for UC Davis students at reduced prices.

Students towards the front of the line arrived at 9 a.m., three hours before the box office opened, in order to ensure they got a ticket to one of the major events due in the coming year. Some of the more popular performers who will be appearing at the Mondavi Center include Yo-Yo Ma and Ihtzak Perlman.

The sale will end on Oct. 29 or when tickets are sold out.
