Senior Cocks Has Fallen
You may remember the furor sparked by the crazy drug-addled, booze-infused dinosaur-riding disaster that was this year’s Senior Cocktails event on Feb. 15. Wesleyan students had to endure a week of unflattering media reports–our favorite of which came courtesy of The Atlantic Wire here–until finally learning their fate earlier today via an e-mail from the [...]
Senior Cocks Vs. Connecticut Science Center
Was it the “Wesleyan student removed from the 6th floor for riding the dinosaur?” Or perhaps it was this incident: “Wesleyan student fell down the up escalator. And continued falling as if in a perpetual motion machine.” In all likelihood the Wesleyan seniors were kicked out of the Connecticut Science Center last Friday for a combination [...]
Amherst Joins 21st Century Recycling
As of February 1st, Amherst College stepped up its green game and turned over to single-stream recycling, joining its fellow ‘Cac counterparts at Bowdoin, Hamilton, Trinity and Wesleyan. What is “single stream” recycling anyway? How could throwing a bunch of different materials in the same bin be a better, more sustainable method? When papers, [...]
Alleged Theft By P-Safe Officer Raises Trust Issues
Theft by an employee of the college is not unprecedented in the ‘Cac. However, the arrest of a former public safety officer for alleged theft of campus property–perpetrated while on staff–has had unique shock value for Wesleyan. Campus security wields immense access to student and college property. We trust them to protect us, and we [...]
Where Are My Avery Robinson Fangirls?
Gawker quelled social media rumors that Avery Robinson (Wes ’15) was charming the Obama girls in video of the inaugural proceedings with this admission: he’s their cousin, duhrrrrr. The article linked out to Robinson’s Cardinals basketball profile, so now the secret is out…one time a Wesleyan student attended a political function and didn’t picket it. [...]
Drones Just Wanna Have Fun?
Hip hop artist Heems (Himanshu Suri, Wes ’07), formerly of duo Das Racist, has released a music video for his single “Soup Boys.” Pitchfork calls it “fairly political,” while the pending review of one Rap Genius analyst explains “Heems is looking for an attractive female to accompany him to his abode, for conversation, relaxation, or [...]
Michael Roth Hints at January Changes for Wesleyan
While traipsing around Asia to visit alums and, in the classic Wesleyan tradition, attempt to “find himself,” President Michael “Roth Dog” Roth penned a hope-y’all-aren’t-going-too-stir-crazy-at-home letter to the Wesleyan community. Wesleyan currently begins its break December 15 (the last day of final exams) and begins spring classes on January 24. That’s 40 days off, an [...]
Michael Bay With The Hits Channel
Michael Bay (Wesleyan ’86), who famously said of his alma mater “Wesleyan was very cliquey. They all wore dark clothing, and they were always uggghhhhh,” has a new trailer out. Mark Wahlberg is in it. Rebel Wilson is in it. Dwayne Johnson, etc. The LA Times has called it “2013′s ‘Magic Mike.’” Oh gawsh, have at [...]
