Kiss Me, Katie

Steven, a senior, was among the hundreds of students who turned out in October for Full Moon on the Quad. According to decades of custom, seniors smooch with freshmen to turn them into Stanford men and women. Steven, who has attended the event three of the last four years, says he "really can't remember" how many women he kissed that night. But he did plant a big one on classmate Katie Noyes. "It's a great Stanford tradition to take advantage of your senior year," he says. No doubt.
