Scrap the standard stocking stuffers and check out Intel’s holiday gift guide
The holiday shopping season is fast approaching. But before you get ready to stand in lines before the crack of dawn on Black Friday, we’ve hand selected some bizarre perfect Northwestern paraphernalia for your loved ones. And, no, we’re not talking about those tchotchkes you see in Becks. We scoured the interwebs to find the best products that have a Northwestern logo slapped on them. Check out our complete list after the jump. more 
Between two worlds
Peter Ludlow walks to the edge of the stage in Harris 107. It’s quickly apparent that most of the students in “Philosophy of Cyberspace,” offered for the first time this quarter, aren’t paying attention. Students fill less than half the seats in the room and stare blankly at their computer screens. A girl browses Banana Republic’s fall sale. Another Google chats and flips through emails. Ludlow leans over the audience. “I stand further and further out,” he says, trying to invigorate the room. “If I make my job really, really dangerous are people going to listen to what I say?” The statement drips with the type of existentialism one expects from university-level philosophers. So Ludlow starts a video of avatars having sex. Fantastical, multicolored creatures with tails and wings writhe on huge, ornate digital beds. Masochism, sadism, whips, and bondage flash across the screen. The video culminates with what appears to be a demon fem-bot urinating on her sexual partner—a virtual golden shower. Nobody is looking for fall wardrobe staples anymore. more

Dear NU PR: It’s time to go back to the drawing board
Dear Northwestern Public Relations,
We know you’ve been busy conducting damage control for the seemingly constant, but hardly positive coverage this esteemed university received in the past year. So, we get it, like any good missionary, you’re eager to get out there and spread the good will of the university. You want to show these kids—and their parents—why they should attend (and more importantly pay) the university. And let’s face it, there’s a lot to tout: the stellar academics, the unbeatable location, the Big Ten sports teams. So you can imagine our dismay when we came across your two new TV spots whilst casually flipping through the Big Ten Network—yes, we don’t really understand why a league needs its own network, but we’ll save that for another rant. more
NU ranks second in listing of “most buzzworthy schools”
Northwestern holds itself to the highest standards—a school filled with valedictorians, National Honor Society members, and insomniacs. But its unlikely those accolades landed us second only to Harvard in a ranking of the “most buzzworthy schools” from the past year. It remains a mystery how the fucksaw saga failed to bump us up to first place.
Northwestern dance groups share a love for movement
From bollywood to breaking, Northwestern has a variety of specialized dance groups. To show three extremes of the dance world on campus, we covered Boomshaka, Fusion, and Graffiti. Each specializes in a different style and technique, but all share a love for dance. more

NU/Downtown Evanston collaboration results in digital coupon phone app
Just in time for Dillo Day, NU students are making one more last ditch effort to improve town/gown relations before Saturday’s pandemonium. The efforts are in the form of Sweet Perk, an iPhone and Android app developed by NU students and the local non-profit “Downtown Evanston.” Starting May 26, shoppers can use the app in downtown Evanston to find digital coupons for local businesses. The idea is the product of a five month partnership between a local non-profit management and marketing service and Northwestern business and engineering students. We hope the app gives us some credibility with Evanston residents, or if that fails, we hope it at least gives us some good discounts at Edzo’s.
Video: Poets bring erotic, explicit rhyme to Sex Week
It’s Sex Week, and what better way to talk about sex than rhythm-driven slam poetry? Zack Moy, president of the Northwestern Slam Society, performs one of his pieces at the “Oratory Orgasm” Sex Week event, and discusses the aim of the event. Video after the jump. more
