Mayor Tisdahl to decide the fate of The Keg and its liquor license
The Keg of Evanston is under attack, and we’re not just referring to the recent string of police raids. The beloved establishment, dearer to most Northwestern students than midterms or Brothelgate, is in danger of getting its liquor license pulled by Evanston’s liquor commissioner and mayor, Elizabeth Tisdahl, who is expected to make her decision by Tuesday. The city is concerned that The Keg’s reputation as a haven for thirsty, underage drinkers reflects poorly on the image of Evanston. The city attorney pulled all the stops, even presenting evidence in the form of screen shots that show incriminating tweets from the Kegofevanston account (now deleted from Twitter-sphere)—an account that the owner, Tim Migon, claims is a fake account. The Keg’s liquor license has been temporarily suspended in the past, in the case of a shooting in 2005 when an Evanston man was killed in the bar.
Kellogg loses No.1 spot in rankings of best executive MBA program
It must be all those Tuesday nights at the Keg. The Kellogg School of Management dropped to third in this year’s Bloomberg Businessweek rankings of the best executive MBA programs after spending two decades at the top. The magazine cited a “decline in student satisfaction,” as determined by a survey of new graduates, as the reason the school lost its alpha status. While Northwestern tries to climb back up, Kellogg students will probably see this drop as an excuse for a pity kegger on Deering Field. After all, what could be better than beer pong with the country’s next third-most important CEO?

Junior gets spiritual after early morning skinny dip
Junior | Female | Medill | Off-Campus
The funny thing about summer in Evanston is that, despite the beautiful weather and nonexistent stress of the school year, I still want to get the fuck out. The cringe-worthy memories of snow, sleet, and classes make me stir-crazy. more
Intel readers occupy Evanston locales, social networks, body cavities
Fall has become the season of “Occupy.” Last week, the invasion made its way to campus as NU’s bandwagoners activists took up the cause. Seeing as Occupy aligns itself as a movement of the masses, we asked you, our loyal Intel readers, to tell us what you occupy. It turns out you occupy some interesting places. Many of you references typical E-town locales (Church Street, TKOE,) relevant occupy sites (unemployment lines,) and party spots (the Fridge basement). And then there’s the obligatory sexual references to body cavities and sex acts. Per usual, several users thought the submit box was the search bar, but we forgive you, it happens. Check out all the answers in our handy graphic after the jump. more
The week where Tisdahl went soft on marijuana, hard on brothels
It’s the final week before the onslaught of midterms and in an effort to ignore the inevitable, Northwestern students are turning a blind eye and focusing their attention on preparations for this weekend’s football game against Michigan. To help you get ready, we unveiled a pregame playlist and showed you how much your friends at state schools pay to see their team play. The week began, however, by reliving the moments we may have liked to forget from the weekend’s parties (including crying about The Lion King), and then took a sociological look at our favorite dive bar, TKOE, in “How to NU.” more
@Nrthwesterngrl has crisis, SafeRide feels a little lonely
NU’s favorite Twitter accounts are back for Fall Quarter, but they’ve already been pretty depressing with mental breakdowns and lonely employees. At least Chet Haze and The Keg of Evanston are back and ready to provide a few laughs. more

A week of patriotism and nip slips
Holy tits, Mr. Fratstar sloshing your pitcher of beer all over The Keg’s dance floor. This week we bared witness to freshman tanks, wardrobe malfunctions, crazy campus officials, and a questionable amount of Loyola kids. Can’t remember saluting America? Perhaps you had one too many of those Jell-O shots. The full Party Report, after the jump. more
