Skulls! Now at the low starting price of twenty grand.
Apparently NU race controversy made it to the small screen again. Communication senior Josh Williams was on Chicagoland Television over winter break to talk about the infamous Kellogg incident, when he was stopped several times before police asked him for his WildCARD, and race problems at NU. The conclusion? Work still needs to be done. [The Daily]
After bastardizations of patriotism such as “freedom fries” and Rush Limbaugh, we didn’t think it could get much worse. But now debuting in the middle of rush week: “Rush Upsilon Sigma Alpha.” So the answer we get to the question the New York Times asked on October 24, 2009, “Does the White House feel like a frat house?” is a fist-bumping, chest-pounding, beer-guzzling yes.

Turns out, Evanston has always been really really cold. So cold that a historical document shows Lewis and Clark deemed it “not suitable for humans.” Clark almost needed to amputate his leg because of the cold when he was here. So how did people end up sticking? An old architect for Northwestern apparently thought he was building in Evanston, Florida. Woops. [The Daily]
Everything manages to find its way in to the market somehow. Many “creepy and useless items” belonging to the elite secret society Skull and Bones are up for auction including a ballot box made out of a skull. So, how much could we get for Deru’s memorabilia? [IvyGate]
If you feel like killing your ex, here’s a lesson—don’t post about your anger on Facebook. One University of Minnesota student was pulled out of her mortuary-science class after a professor discovered her status saying “I still want to stab a certain someone in the throat with a trocar,” alluding to harming her recent ex with a tool meant for draining dead bodies. We’re not sure what’s more disturbing, that Minnesota has been creeping on students Facebooks, or that they offer a mortuary-science class. [Chronicle of Higher Education]
