“Are the trustees reptiles from space?” asks divestors

Kyle Seasly February 26, 2015

Callie Brown February 5, 2015
It’s the dawn of a new age: second semester has officially begun. It’s been two weeks long, so obviously it makes sense that everyone is completely exhausted already. The countdown to spring break has already begun, and sickness is sweeping over this campus like a new form of the plague.

Stunning poll shows winter vacation was ‘fine, thanks’

Trevor Lewis January 29, 2015
Readers, I know that many of you have searched far and wide to learn about the quality of your acquaintances’ winter breaks. Well, look no further! A new study funded by the national organization AAST (Americans Against Small Talk) has found conclusively that winter break was “fine.” As a dedicated member of the press, I felt obligated to investigate further. That is why I met with Chet Barker, world renowned iguana breeder and the brains behind the recent poll.
