After the overwhelming success of last night’s snowball fight, more groups are trying to extend the winter joy for another night. After all, tonight’s Primal Scream provides pretty much the perfect war cry for the start of another battle royale. One Facebook group is here, while tipsters tell us there will also be an aerial […]
While you were studying and/or throwing snowballs, the members of John Jay 11 were making one of the better examples ever of winter overcompensation. Certainly more realistic than most of the stencils we’ve seen in past years.

While we eagerly anticipate the dandruff of the gods this evening, it’s time for our semi-annual CarSplit PSA. Started by a SEAS ’06er, Carsplit uses cool computery things to help you share cabs with other students you don’t know on the way to the airport this winter break. It normally costs about $45 to get […]
