Sure it's illegal after 9 p.m., but late on weekend nights when the weather's warm you have to work hard to avoid the hundreds and hundreds of University students who crowd every corner of the Ann Arbor's splendid tribute to nature. Class (Best Place to Meet a Mate) "So, you think this lecture is really boring too, huh. Do you like stuff too or just think all things are bor- ing?" Sounds like an auspicious rock upon which to build your rela- tionship church. Or maybe it's just the fact that class locks us all in a room for at least 50 minutes with at least 20 other horny people our own age. You could even say it's like shooting fish in a barrel - or you could say finding a mate is never easy and try banter such as that already suggested. Going to the Movies (Best First Date) Woah, I guess those sixth- graders are ready for college after all. Then again, maybe they aren't. But it's true that the dating scene back then is much like the dating scene now - first-daters love the back of the movie theater. And movies are great for blind dates, too, because the theater is always dark so if he or she is ugly, you don't have to see their face. Finally, if you really like them, you can spend your time in the dark getting a head start on making out. The Grad Library Stacks (Best Place for Public Sex) Past a certain hour of the night in the stacks you have to literally step over all the couples getting it on while you look for the perfect book on how barrier physics can be fun and exciting. Apparently the word has already gotten out about this, so maybe the collective campus as a whole should start a new trend and have sex in the Frieze Building or something. Remember one thing, however: Public sex requires a minimum of two people: With two people it's a little illegal and cute, with only one person its just plain demented and sick. "Nice shoes.. wanna fuck?" (Best Pick Up Line) Well, that pret- ty much says it all, right there .. "No." (Best Rejection Line) Short and sweet. Cameron first made it cool during his 10-minute phony phone call to Edward Rooney in the movie we all grew up loving. Mr. Fry's spirit now lives in a one-word rejection line more effective than the most eloquent of poem. "Shakespeare in Love" (Best Date Movie) Unlike the scene at the Oscars, here you won't see Gwyneth Paltrow sob for 10 minutes or a host of giddy producers crowd the stage thanking everyone that made this movie possible. Still, it is nice to know that most of the students on campus find romantic inspiration in a story that happened four centuries ago and thousands of miles away. The current Queen Elizabeth is not the one who appears in the movie, for those of you not up on your British history. Swing Dancing (Best Unusual Date) Now that they made a movie about it, everyone is hip to the scene. Whether you're an old pro on the hardwood or just a greenhorn in wingtips or saddleshoes, the hep- cats always welcome couples with good attitudes and friendly faces.

The LSA sophomore says election defeat won't stifle her energy By Jewel Gopwani Daily Arts Writer It's not easy trying to be wonder- woman, and former Michigan Student Assembly Vice President Sarah Chopp, who has devoted a great deal of her time to the assembly, was rewarded for her efforts to be a dedicated and active member of the University's student government. After hearing that she was voted best MSA representative, Chopp said she appreciated the recogni- tion for her work on the assembly. With almost two years of Michigan Student Assembly experience under her belt, Sarah Chopp was voted best assembly representative. Chopp, who left her position as vice president on Tuesday, charac- terized her time on the assembly as a period where women and minori- ties shared a greater voice. She also said she is proud MSA opened up more, making a greater effort to represent the entire student body. The issue of female representation was important to Chopp right off the bat. "There were very few women on the assembly," Chopp said. "I was confronted with a lot of sexism." Chopp, who the received the highest number of votes during the 1997 MSA Fall election, added that earning respect as a young female assembly representa- tive from other members of MSA was important to her. As her time on the assembly pro- gressed, Chopp said, "the demograph- ics of the assembly changed," adding that more women and people of diverse racial backgrounds have a significant influence on MSA. Addressing the current state of the, assembly, Chopp said she believes solid work has already been accomplished. "We're moving in the right direction in terms of diverse repre- sentation and having people from different ideolog- ical back- grounds." "I was c Chopp's tenure on the assembly with a to includes serving as vice chair of sexism.' the External C om m ittee , _______________M______________ alongside then LSA rep. Trent Thompson, who served as president of the assembly until last Tuesday. Although Chopp was defeated in the race for MSA president last month, she plans to keep herself busy with the numerous other orga- nizations on and off of campus. A member of Hillel, Chopp said the Jewish faith is an important part of her life. At the MSA meet- ing last Tuesday, Chopp gave her farewell speech a week early because she would have to miss this P1 1S week's transition meeting. There Chopp said, for her few things come before MSA and her religion is one of them. Chopp was also the associate editor for Consider Magazine, published by Hillel and the Residence Hall Association. She is a member of the executive board of the Nation's Student Partnership, which is an organization that attempts to find jobs for homeless people across the country. On top of all of her work on student groups, Chopp has already painted a distinct portrait for her future. )nfronted Double majoring in economics f of and political sci- ence, Chopp said she wants to major in both - Sarah Chopp international A Representative trade and inter- national law. Chopp explained that after she grad- uates, she would like to work with cor- porations who have workers in under- developed countries and figure out plans where the corporations can max- imize its profit without compromising human rights. Chopp said that she would like to travel and is very interested in busi- ness. With her work at the University and on the assembly, she is currently working towards her goals of trying to change the world, one step at a time.
