Hours after making Wednesdayâs announcement that guest wristband distribution has been suspended, Mayfest clarified their statement to reflect the fact that they have no wristbands left at all.
THE INTERNET — The Northwestern University Class of 2017 Facebook group saw a three-hundred percent increase in activity this past week when soul-searching accepted student Alyssa Gianonne asked the deep and philosophical question preoccupying every early-decision applicant’s mind: âSo whatâs everyone, like, MOST excited for next year?â Gianonne commented on her own post thirty seconds later explaining that marching through the historic campus arch, erected in 1993, is something that she predicts will be life changing. Within minutes, Gianonneâs post
EVANSTON â Two prospective students and their helicopter parents died Tuesday during a tour of Northwestern. The tragedy occurred after Mrs. Maddie Lees, 46, and Ms. Rebecca Schlessinger, 48, started asking a series of questions about standardized test scores that spun out of control. Mrs. Lees started to lose control when she learned that SAT IIs were recommended, but not required, even though she personally paid for a private US History tutor and do you know how much those cost.
EVANSTON – Northwestern University Facilities Management announced today that the scheduled burn at the lakefill lagoon successfully burned off 14 species of invasive plants and approximately 700 Northwestern Athletics t-shirts that in hindsight should have never been made. “These controlled burnings help the ecology of the green spaces on campus,” said Ron Nayler, Associate Vice President for Facilities Management. “They also give us an opportunity to get rid of some of these ridiculous t-shirts. Like this one right here,” said
SKOKIE â One Northwestern freshman spent the most anticipated day of the year aimlessly wandering through the scenic village of Skokie. The hours of a.m. drinking forced David Eager to head West on Dillo Day, instead of East toward the lakefill. âThere are really only two things you need to know how to do on Dillo Day,â Mayfest co-chair Chase âMaystacheâ Jacksons explained to Flipside investigators. âDrink large quantities of alcohol and have the common sense to head towards music
On the evening of Friday, November 13 at approximately 8:00 PM, multiple Northwestern students reported seeing a polar bear climb out of a mysterious and previously unnoticed hatch on the Lakefill. The students, who were leaving a “Lost” fan club meeting in Norris, reported seeing the subject leave the hatch and run north along the lake. There have been no further sightings of the subject, described as being a 500 lb. white male about six feet in length. Further investigation
By The Lakefill Monster Ok, so let me get this straight. Thereâs a luscious pool of what is clearly imported glacier water from Switzerland in the middle of campus and youâre not gonna take a dip because the school says you shouldnât? Youâre killing me. Get your youthful sense of adventure together and just seize the day! Worst case scenario – youâll get high on life. I never let a bunch of puritans in suits push me around, and you
EVANSTONâNorthwestern President Morton Schapiro unveiled plans to supplement the Evanston campusâ lake fill with a private archipelago across Lake Michigan at his inauguration on Friday, Oct. 9. The plan will raise awareness about sustainability by using organic material from old-growth rainforests to fill the archipelagoâs islands, Schapiro said. Citing the cramped conditions of the Sept. 19 âRock the Beachâ dance party thrown for freshmen during Wildcat Welcome Week, Shapiro noted in his inaugural address that âthe time is nowâ for
So I keep hearing about this Northwestern Lakefill and how itâs so glorious. Yeah, it has a nice view of Chicago. And sure, it provides people a nice place to run for a total of three months during the school year. But Lake-FILL? I think not. This supposed engineering marvel âfilled in the lakeâ to âadd more land to the Northwestern campus.â Ludicrous! The lake is barely full at all. In fact, thereâs a whole shit-ton of water left in
Dear The Northwestern Flipside, Iâm a freshman, where are the best places to hang out on campus? Sincerely, Mitch Skillman Dear Mitch, Iâm glad you asked, as there are a lot of really cool places where really cool people hang out and do really cool stuff. For instance, there is a popular vampire-themed dance club in the 28th sub-basement of Tech. Donât worry, it has nothing to do with Twilight, many engineers simply find that long hours in Tech tend
