Ever the underdog, Postcrypt seems to bear the brunt of the War on Fun. It all started with an anonymous Bwog comment alleging the coffeehouse was serving alcohol to minors. Then came an emergency meeting with the administration, and $400 mandated alcohol proctors, who made it financially impossible for Postcrypt to keep serving drinks. Soon […]

In John Collins’s metaphysics class: Collins: You all should come to the philosophy prospective majors open house tonight. There will be a keg, Jager shots, and cake.

Speccies schmoozed, Arianna Huffington charmed, and hobnobbing ensued. “Journalism is not a spectator sport,” declared Arianna Huffington. It was an unfortunate choice of words, since the media mogul was […]

To those who studied in Butler 210 last night— you were being watched! The reason for filming is not nearly as sinister and panopticonny as it seems.
