The week started with recruitment still in full swing. We sifted through the university archives to find the most notorious frat fucks ups—just some casual reading to send along to your parents after you drop the bombshell that you’re now a pledge. But rush was so last week. This was the week of the glorious rise to fame of Chet Haze—son of Tom and hip-hop extraordinaire.

After the entire world got wind of the Forrest Gump’s offspring’s ability to spit beats, we decided we needed to send a message to other fledgling fratty rappers. But our music tastes are more diverse, running the gamut from some good ol’ Brit Brit to disco house-music crossover Russ Chimes. Yeah, people fawned over Chet this week (guilty as charged), but he’s no acclaimed actor. Well, not yet.

We also introduced you to Bikram yoga and Evanston’s infamous yelling yogi. After sweating the full extent of your water weight in the 105 degrees room torture chamber, you can splurge on a Charlie Brown sundae at Clarke’s. Or if you’re trying to be more frugal, you can’t beat $2 pitchers at Joe’s Bar and this new twist on Ramen.

Best of Buzz: Basketball coach Bill Carmody signed a multi-year contract extension, but the NU fans aren’t pleased. And Northwestern (again) attracted a record number of applicants. Too bad only graduates from the elite top five can land a job.
