Week in Review
Cocaine is a helluva drug: A Syracuse mother was arrested for using cocaine while breast-feeding her 14-month-old child. Residents and officials were completely shocked that the mother used cocaine and not good old-fashioned crack. Syracuse: a city on the rise.
White (Macadamia) Power: UC-Berkeley Republicans protested the fact that white men are (supposedly) treated worse than women and people of non-white color in university admissions processes by holding a bake sale, wherein white men paid $2 per baked good and all others paid a lesser amount. Because if anything screams “Respect me!” it’s a peanut butter cookie with a side of racism.
REM Cycle: Long-time rockers REM broke up this week, leaving thousands of 90s-music-loving people to wonder: “Will they still play “Everybody Hurts’ during break-up scenes of movies?” Of course they will.
The Social Net-jerk: Yet again, Zuckerberg has changed The Facebook with a new feature called Timeline, which makes it really, really easy to see just how pissed off all of your friends are about Timeline.
Energy Deficient: Starting in January, students at UNH will no longer be able to purchase energy drinks on campus. The move, though regarded as unfair, is the result of several students actually thinking that Red Bull had given them wings.

Frat Party Music 20 Years Ago
The year is 1992. Bill Clinton has just begun his non-scandalous term in office.

In essence, 1992 was nirvana. Because “Smells... MORE »

Seriously, Syracuse?
Seriously? Is this really happening? Let me get this straight: Melo, and I’m completely guessing here, skips a few classes and now he’s ineligible for the tournament? Seriously? I’m going to guess yet again and say that Melo is not the first Syracuse athlete to fail to meet certain academic requirements like going to “class,” or turning... MORE »
