Alert! Select Schools Become No Pong ZonesBy Olivia B. Waxman '11Long before college students made imbibing a competitive sport, the ancient Greeks faced off in Cottabus (also Kottabos), a Sicilian drinking game that dates back to the Greek and Etruscan symposia (drinking parties) of the 4th and 5th centuries B.C.

Dorian, along with her husband Marshall Miller, travel the country to spread the word on female orgasms: how to have one, how to give one and how to make them better. And they certainly had an audience at Hamilton. With an amazing turnout from boys and girls, students showed up an hour early to get seats and many who came later were forced to leave. Solot and Miller addressed a variety of topics that are not commonly discussed openly on Hamilton's campus, such as vibrators, kegel exercises, clitoral stimulation and female ejaculation.
