This week was a doozy for Syracuse. We had a snowstorm earlier in the week, a beautiful day for a picnic mid-week, and it is most likely going to snow this weekend. This is just classic Syracuse! Usually students don’t care much about the weather changing, but something was different this week. The first student... MORE »
This Syracusean winter (or lack thereof) has certainly been weird to say the least. No snow on the ground and warm, sunny days in February? Nice try, 315, cut the shit. While we’re sure these are the early signs of the 2012 apocalypse, in your remaining time before the world ends, find out what your... MORE »
The city of Syracuse made the decision to cancel this year’s winter in an unprecedented announcement this morning. “We felt it was in our city’s best interest to hold off on winter for this year,” Mayor Stephanie Miner said in a statement. “Frankly, I’m tired of staining my boots with rock salt.” Within the past...

Open up any weather app, website, or television station and you’ll see the same thing: it’s supposed to snow Halloween weekend. Now, this isn’t a big thing for upperclassmen. They’re used to these winter wonderland predictions. For freshmen however, the concept of snow has seemed to vanish from their minds as if they have... MORE »

Catholics around the world were shocked to hear that Pope Benedict XVI had resigned from his position as “THE CLOSEST PERSON TO GOD ON EARTH.” He tells sources at Campus Basement that the departure comes from fatigue, old age, and University Union’s Winter Carnival line-up. “They were hyping the students up, saying, ‘oh get ready,...

Finals week is coming up, and as we all know, it’s the most stressful time of the year. Syracuse University usually comes out with a handful of lame-ass events to help relieve stress. (Wow, breakfast at NIGHT TIME. You really out-did yourselves this time) Our neighbors across the North border at Dalhousie University’s got the... MORE »

After the major disappointment by Nas’s no-show at the One World concert, most students left, cursing the Hip Hop legend from Queensbridge. Most. Meet Jeffrey Turs, a junior attending Syracuse University who claims to be Nas’s biggest fan and firmly believes that the rapper will appear at the Carrier Dome. “This isn’t the first time... MORE »

The Syracuse Orange football team currently have one win and three losses on their 2012-2013 season record. It seems no matter what we do, we can’t seem to win (except play shitty schools.) Our coaches don’t help, our players don’t help (please don’t beat me up), so we’ve gotta do what every frustrated sports fan... MORE »
The National Anti-Fun Association awarded the Syracuse Police as the most efficient party-patrollers in the United States. A glimpse at SPD’s crime stats shows they’ve shut down 7,342 parties in the last year along, 500 more parties than every other police force combined. This increase in heroic police work can be credited to the force’s... MORE »
As the Spring Welcome begins to wind down, the academic faculty here at Syracuse University sent letters to prospective Class of 2016 students. Here they are, for your viewing pleasures: MORE »
Students unfortunate enough to dorm in Lawrinson this semester have much to complain about. Social life is dead, dining options suck, and room-mates are inconsiderate dicks who keep taking your shaving razor without telling you. Seriously Edgar, I know... MORE »
If you’ve noticed the lack of plates in dining halls over the last week, you’re not alone. Before you jump to conclusions, don’t worry, the dining halls quality didn’t decreased. (Hard to do when you’ve hit rock bottom.) So who’s to blame for this dish deficiency? 80 degree weather and a 325% increase in Ultimate... MORE »
