It’s our last Senior Wisdom of the year, and we couldn’t think of a better way we’d want to go out than with our former Editor-in-Chief.

In Hungarian, some guy took half an hour in the bathroom—and left behind this list “Sentences on Conceptual Parties.” Sol Lewitt muses on the rationality and irrationality of parties.

You’ve heard of them. You may have seen them—pet them even. But to be certain, you have lived under their ever present shadow of doom. Bwog speaks of cats. And not just any cats, but the cats that live in the grocery stores, bars, and coffee shops of our dear neighborhood. You know you’ve spent hours in Butler looking […]

Exciting good news! According to a University Senator, the Hungarian Pastry Shop Sip has signed up to accept your Flex points. Things should be up and running by the end of the term.

Gautam Hans reports: A horde of 20 “Production Scouts” descended upon the Hungarian Pastry Shop today at noon, apparently investigating it for possible use in the upcoming film adaptation of “The Nanny Diaries” starring Scarlett Johansson.

Overheard at the Hungarian Pastry Shop, a conversation between two guys in their late 20s. Guy 1: So do you like the baby? Guy 2: Of course, it’s a baby. Guy 1: Is there any chance that the baby’s yours? Guy 2: No, she was four months pregnant when I started dating her. But I […]
