#Week in Review
A week of empty statements and high-calorie foods
It’s Saturday, and you’re probably just waking up with a post-Blowout hangover. See if your night matched up with our step-by-step guide to the concert. Lupe Fiasco not your thing? Head into the city today for Beer Hoptacular 2011. Sure, it’ll cost you $40 but you get unlimited beer. What else could you ask for? For those under 21, you’re going to have to miss out on this, but you can always feast in the Ev this weekend. Try a delicious gyro or one of the cupcakes we recommended in our oh-so-scientific taste test. more 
A week of cross-country trips, fratstar/rappers, and Homecoming
Midterms still got you down? Well, this weekend you can crank BritBrit’s newest video/work of art “Criminal” and live vicariously through the Party Report, imagining you’re taking shots with the best of them. Ah, if only you could put down those books to go out this weekend. But don’t study too hard. With Homecoming this weekend, you won’t want to miss all those awkward tailgates where undergrads mingle with alumni trying to relive their glory days. And in case you somehow missed the annoying Facebook events and listserv blasts, the new Homecoming Court will also be crowned this weekend. Hopefully neither of the winners used too much sabotage to win. 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
A week of new campus celebs and psychic readings
You survived the first full week of classes. But, thanks to the wonderfully brief quarter system, midterms loom in the not-so-distant future. So, naturally, it’s time to go out and forget all about classes. This week’s party report included patriotic themes, Jell-O shots, and wardrobe malfunctions. If you’re looking for some ways to spice up your adult beverages while showcasing your inner Wildcat, look no further than our Purple Drank slideshow. And if history is more your thing, we put together a timeline of Evanston’s sordid relationship with alcohol. But we know some of you are classier than mixed drinks involving codeine and Sprite, so we offered a recipe for delectable bruschetta. more
A week of classy freshmen and sloppy upperclassmen
It’s just one week into the quarter and already our summer glow and bikini bod are beginning to disappear. But, if it’s any consolation, Intel is back at it. We hit the ground running during welcome week where we compared Wildcat Welcome social events to our favorite booze, shed light on the more infamous corners of the Northwestern experience, and compiled a pregame playlist. And because everybody knows a party is just better when it’s written about, we documented the best gatherings from your messy week before classes. more
The week of silly prospies, slutty seniors, and pseudo-philanthropic sorority girls
We started off the week with a campus full of doe-eyed, innocent high schoolers roaming our lakefront campus. Yes, it’s propsie season complete with flocks of freshmen-to-be shepherded around campus. And that can only mean one thing: stories of over-eager prospie faux pas. more
The week of sex, ASG elections, and Pike write-in candidates
What a busy week it’s been here: Sex Week, ASG elections, the Girl Talk concert—and oh yeah, Eugene Levy even stopped by. We haven’t felt this stimulated (or exhausted) since that little media-driven controversy about a certain power drill-cum-sex toy last quarter. more
The week of romantic love, college love, and Chaze love
We started off the week celebrating the most dreaded loved holiday of the year. We shared three Valentine’s Day confessions: self love, sex and good old-fashioned romance. Yes, even the self-loathing type like us can enjoy a good romantic story. We also compiled a list of music majors’ recommendations for top hook up songs and published a date night comic. But let’s be serious, our V-Day gift to you couldn’t begin to compete with Chet Haze’s much-anticipated mix tape “Get Hazed” released Feb. 14. Naturally, we spent the wee hours of Monday morning listening and analyzing every track. more
The week of getting slizzard in the blizzard
We started off the week still reeling from Brothel-gate. After attending a special Evanston city council meeting with fewer than a dozen other students, we realized it was time to get over the brothel law. But before we jumped back on the apathetic bandwagon with our fellow NU students, we looked back at the major on-campus protests of the last 40 years. By Tuesday all students could talk about was the impending blizzard—snow, wind, and waves. Oh my! more
The week of big announcements and Brothel-gate
The week started off with two big university announcements: a new VP of student affairs and, oh yeah, Stephen Colbert as this year’s commencement speaker. But no one was talking about Colbert after the Daily ran an article about the city’s plans to step up enforcement of the brothel law. And the student body quickly mobilized in outrage. Hey, at least we were banding together as a community. Morty should be proud. more
