WHAT? RENT is coming to South Bend?? Good Lord… I remember when Lizzie almost drove me nuts playing “Glory” over and over sophomore year. Of course, that was before I saw it five times in four different theaters (in two countries).

Sorry to flog an almost-dead horse, but more on T-Shirtgate: the Observer agrees with the SMC Board of Governance’s actions.

Weasel Football News: We’re still 2-0-1 heading into a crucial game against Walsh. And who are these coaches? They’re cracking me up. “I like to compare our defense to that of the ’85 Bears,” PW coach Tony Baldea said. “Kelly Dries reads the offense like Mike Singletary and pulls flags like Otis Wilson.”

PE is 1-2! PE is 1-2! The hated Pyros have a losing record! I know it sounds bitter, but some of us waited a long time to see this.

Oooh! An actual picture of the shirt that caused the controversy. It turns out that the Board of Governance were so embarrassed by it that they bought up the whole supply so none could be sold. Some Belles claimed censorship.

Shout outs to Kel.

Okay, so this kid was planning an off-campus “Olympics” that would feature teams from all the different study abroad programs competing in events like beer bonging, keg races, and cups. Residence Life got wind of it, though, and shut him down. While I agree with the whole “drinking responsibly” idea… I still think the Londoners would’ve kicked supreme ass.

I was surprised to read of Pride Week at SMC in the Observer Friday. “Wow!” I thought. “I didn’t realize that they were so proud of their lesbians!” And then I found out that it has nothing to do with being gay at all. It’s just the week when all the SMC Chicks proclaim their pride at being a Belle. *sigh* Whatever.

Check out the NDPD Police Blotter for August. Okay, so most of the things on there are actual crimes… but check out the “larceny” that occurred on 8/9/00. Apparently somebody at the Joyce Center reported that “two pairs of sunglasses and a pair of scissors” were stolen from their desk. At 11:30 in the morning. Does this strike you as a little, uh, dumb? Like our police force – even Rent-a-Cops, which they are – don’t have anything better to do than look for missing sunglasses and scissors??

A great response to that SMC T-shirt controversy. Way to go, women.
