Those creepy old people milling around Collegetown can only mean one thing: HEROIC Homecoming weekend.

It's Friday. We, the Sun editors and columnists, are mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore. So we get to ...

H&V valiantly returns with riffs on heat, hot dogs and all other sorts of wieners.

And we're back! After a massive late-February Snowpocalypse, H&V has finally come out of hibernation to once again acknowledge the best of HEROISM and the worst of VILLAINY.

They told us this was coming. The experts used made-up words like “snowicane,” and threw around warnings like “1-3 inches per hour.” But we didn’t believe ’em. We tried to plod through, and now that the TCATs have officially stopped prowling, we are quite literally trapped at the Sun. Welcome to H&V, Snowpocalypse 2010 Edition.

Some of our VILLAINOUS peer safety schools had their classes HEROICALLY cancelled this week because of snow. Here at H&V, however, we've been occasionally venturing out into the crappy weather to get to our 2:55 p.m. classes, which we think is damn HEROIC.

Good morning, Ithaca! And welcome to your first Heroes & Villains of 2010! All in all, it’s been quite the decade thus far, except for that VILLAINOUS economy we keep hearing about. The VILLAINOUS recession struck again — not once, not twice, but thrice already this semester. First was last week’s news of VILLAINOUS tuition increases, still rising at a higher cost than inflation.

We’ve been waiting and waiting and waiting for the VILLAINOUS cold to take hold of our fair hippie college town, but it’s been so mild this week we’ve been in VILLAINOUS weather purgatory.

Leave it to the University to send us piles upon piles of the long-awaited task force reports on a Thursday night. We thought we had made it through yet another treacherous week of sleepless nights ... and then this hit our desks! The nerve of them VILLAINOUSLY transparent administrators! Down here at the bat cave we’re hard at work as HEROIC minions scour through these top secret documents to bring you, dear readers, some very, very important news you probably won’t bother reading on a Friday afternoon anyway. In any event, a lot else happened this week we’re sure you’re more interested in ...

It’s that time of the year again. You know, when the grass on campus is meticulously trimmed and the landscaping is immaculate, all of which is meant to impress them HEROIC trustees who are here for their semi-annual trek to Ithaca. It’s just like parent’s visiting day at sleep away camp, when the VILLAINOUS sloppy joes would be replaced with HEROIC steak just for the day, so you could convince your parents that their money was being well spent ...
