Students will have to go another four months without the convenience of food, games and entertainment previously provided by the University Center Satellite.

Welcome back to another semester at UH. Welcome back to no parking, overpriced books, long lines for food, overpriced food, people on cell phones, miserably dense traffic, huge classes, construction in the middle of campus and rude drivers, passengers and pedestrians.

Releases from Jay-Z, Willie Nelson, Snoop Dogg's youngest protégé Lil' Bow Wow, Bell Biv DeVoe, Wu-Tang Clan and Mystikal led a parade of new albums over the 2001 holiday season.
