NU has always managed to hold its own when it comes to high-brow culture. Theatre shows, dance performances, freshmen roommates debating the syncopation of a Bach concerto—just normal college stuff. But this year NU surprised us by proving itself as a bastion for the low-brow from fratty rappers to satirical Twitter accounts. A roundup of our cultural coverage from the past year after the jump. more

Mystery company bankrolls free Edzo’s today
If you read our Twitter Roundup you would know that, according to @bkevanston, a burger shouldn’t be ruled out as health food. But nothing about an Edzo’s burger or oh, so delicious fries makes us feel anything but gluttonous. This feeling can be justified, however, when said food is free and said free food just so happens to coincide with the end of a hellish week of midterms. From 1:30 to 3:30 today, Edzo’s is offering free food, sponsored by Spark Energy. What is Spark energy? We’re not really sure. But that’s okay because neither is Edzo’s. When calling to confirm the event, I asked what exactly this mystery company was and why they’d want to fund such an event. “I don’t know, look it up,” was my response. Oh, well. Free food is free food, and if it’s free, it’s me.
