Guy 2: Great man, she is awesome. The only reason we aren’t dating is because she doesn’t like Radiohead. Guy […]
Sean Zimmermann reports from last night’s ESC meeting. Sustainability Representative Will Cybriwsky explained that unused alcohol from Casino Night, including unopened bottles, had to be poured down the drain because the university’s alcohol license does not allow the university to keep unused alcohol after an event. The council is investigating how new policies could be […]
