Anyone strolling down Sheridan Tuesday evening was greeted with an ominous scene: Traffic closed from Chicago Ave. to Foster St., floodlights, swarms of police, an abandoned tan Mercedes, and a red tote bag and black, opened umbrella strewn by the side of the road. As we reported last night, the bag and umbrella were the belongings of a woman who had been hit by a car, now identified as an elderly employee of the University. The driver of the vehicle stopped immediately and was cooperating with police, and while the woman was taken to Evanston Hospital, the extent of her injuries remain unknown. [The Daily]
Harvard, supplier of Microsoft, Facebook, and… poisoned coffee? According to the Boston Herald, six lab-workers fell ill after drinking from the hallway coffee machine––two months ago. One victim claims that the university told him “not to speak about the incident. Privately… [he does] not feel it was an accident.” Despite the ominous aura of those words, commentators on the post still would rather know about “Yale-Dartmouth bladderball.” [Ivy Gate]
David Moss is starting a secret society. How to get in on the the Wednesday Daily columnist’s new group? Participate in Skimpy Saturdays, Thigh-high Thursdays, and Miley Cyrus Mondays; head to the Keg on Tuesday nights; and pray in the direction of McGee’s. If that schedule sounds less than rigorous, it’s because Moss is only trying to clue us in to what he calls “Northwestern’s best-kept secret”: “When we really try, our school can be as fun as any in the country.” Stay tuned for next week, when Moss distributes free beer with his column.

Well, there’s no going back to childhood, but you can view it jealously from a distance. The Northwestern Community Development Corps holds the annual Project Pumpkin tomorrow, in which more than 1000 children aged 4 to 12 will trick-or-treat at Norris from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Drop by and watch the children run and play, and then celebrate eternal youth by going to the Deuce and watching 21-year-olds run around and play.

Move over iChat, USC’s EchoDamp is on its way. The new software is geared specifically towards music students, and removes the feedback and delays that weaken long-distance jam sessions. Time to get the old high school garage band back together? [Chronicle of Higher Education]
