Coping With Inflation In Third Quarter Bidding
Ten Ways To Cope
By
The inflation dragon is a worthy opponent of Sir Alan Greenspan. Inflation destroys wealth. Inflation ruins auctions. Inflation messes up my 401K. At the GSB, the third quarter is notorious for hyperinflationary class prices, as 2nd years go for broke spending all of their remaining wealth.
Hints And Allegations
A column about things better left unsaid.

I've done a very bad thing. By writing such a stimulatingly hilarious article about the Freds last issue, I let you know how funny I am. Seriously. I am the funniest girl I know. But I've gone and raised a pretty high bar for myself. As if that's not enough, I am, as of one month ago, the Humor section editor-again, because I am really very funny. But I've delayed establishing my column because of the expectations Nav- "Nan" as we, the new editorial staff, prefer to call him-created.
A Column About Nothing - The Saga Continues
When In Doubt, File A Lawsuit

I love "Amrika" (as it is fondly called in my country of origin, which remains undisclosed for homeland security reasons). It seems people are really nice here (because Dinesh Kalwani says so) and there is always some "Mega Sale" or "Blow-out Sale" going on somewhere.

The Stages Of Recruiting Grief
By
Ah, the woes of recruiting season. I've never felt so beaten down, like a rented mule. There were those interviews where I left the room knowing I'd get dinged. Then there were others where I thought I had a pretty good shot, only to get dinged later. Dinged now, or dinged later. At this point, I've had more dings than the Liberty Bell.
Stats Emergency!
Professors To The Rescue
By
I needed help, expert help. Time was short and the stakes were high. An interviewer had given me a statistics question pertaining to craps, and requested that I email her the response! I sprinted out of Edelstone, struggled across the Midway leaning against the typhoon-like wind, slipped and slid over ice, snow and slush, ran across Ellis, trotted through the quad, and jogged up the stairs of Walker. Destination: the GSB Statistics Department.
Horoscopes From Chart Girl

Aries (March 20 to April 19) Your efforts are paying off - if it is not apparent now, it will be very soon. All things considered, you are doing quite well, but stop comparing yourself to others. There's nothing wrong with benchmarking, just don't obsess over it. Go do things you normally don't think of. Be creative, you will be pleasantly surprised!
