AE∏ PREGAMES RUTGERS DAY Mike Padlocke “Wait, Where’s N.E.R.D.?” BY ABA SABABA NEWS EDITOR
COOK —Due to a host of misinformation, the brothers of AE∏ showed up to the Rutgers Day events this past Saturday “fucking schwasted and ready to rage,” according to a statement from the Rutgers Interfraternity Council. Despite the fact that fraternity members collective GPAs are, on average, .057 points higher than those of their inferiorly unaffiliated peers according to an article in the Daily Targum, the brothers acted under the assumption that the Rutgersfest concert was on the 25 th, as opposed to the similarly named Rutgers Day. “It was a complete mindfuck,” posited Eli Gordon, Pledge Class of ’09. “We thought we were going to a shitshow, but instead we hit up a shitty showcase of everything this fine university has to offer.” Gordon wasn’t the only one to display utter consternation upon realizing the blunder. Eyewitnesses report one Michael Padlocke sitting on the ground with his arms crossed, sobbing uncontrollably next to the petting zoo exhibit and refusing to get up until Motion City Soundtrack took the non-existent stage. He was later coaxed away back to the house by the promise of an empty room and a DVD of Cock Hungry Cowboys III: No Cunt for Old Men, starring The Medium’s own Jon Bershadt. Padlocke was also assured that “relevant material for his shitty column” was waiting for him at the fraternity.
OVERHEARD “GIRL TOTALLY EYEFUCKED ME ACROSS THE GYM” BUSCH — During a recent workout session, one Geoff Irving claims to have briefly garnered the attention of a “hot broad” across the room at the Sonny Werblin Recreating Center gym. “I was just doing some curls,” he explained. “As I was checking myself out in the mirror, our eyes definitely locked for a few moments.” Eyewitnesses report that she then “awkwardly looked away” and that the two did not acknowledge each other for the remainder of the duration.
ASHER ROTH RUINS PARTYING FOREVER Half-Assed Rap Album Behind Campuswide Teetotaling BY WILHELM SCHNOTZ CONTRIBUTING GNOME
COLLEGE AVE —Theta Delta Chi brother Jake McKeever sighs and pours himself another cup. But it’s not a keg he’s pumping tonight - much to the contrary. He gingerly sips the contents of the copper teapot and we speak for a while. The outlines of past beer pong games disappear below a jumble of printed articles and notebooks. “It started a few weeks ago, I guess,” Jake begins. “We were all, you know, partying it up like usual. It was just getting warm out, so we had some great bitc... excuse me, ladies... well, anyway, they were all over and everyone was dancing and having a good time. Then the DJ puts on that Asher Roth song ‘I Love College’, and everyone just kind of stops and looks at each other. Then we all go home, just like that.”
Added Jake, “It was quiet. Scary quiet. Nobody wanted to look at each other.” Jake’s story is not an isolated incident at Rutgers. Ever since the Morrisville, PA native Asher Roth’s album Asleep In the Bread Aisle hit stores on last Tuesday, it seems that the popularity of partying on campus has fallen precipitously. When asked, the reasoning is ubiquitous: “I Love College”, Roth’s smash hit, is such an embarrassing portrayal of the college lifestyle that students can no longer bear the association. “Do somethin’ crazy! Do somethin’ crazy!” groans Benjamin Davis, an SAS junior, quoting the song. “Are you kidding me? I’ll show you something crazy, Asher. I’m not going out this weekend at all. I’m going to look over my notes for the Physics exam on Suncontinued, “FAIL,” page 2

DUMB CAUSES
Content State to Hold Counter-Rally Demonstrating Unawareness BY BENDING RODRIGUEZ & THE GIRL PERSONALS EDITOR STAFF WRITERS
COLLEGE AVE—Tent State participants and coordinators voted 56 to 0 to establish a brutal totalitarian autocracy in which martial law is always in place and people are killed for protesting. “Our Tents! Our Society!” ringed on the lawn as the tent dwelling students were stripped out of their clothes and placed into grey jumpsuits with the Tent state insignia stitched on the front. The primary goals
A protester claims his campgrounds.
Pitchin’ one of Tent State were to hold a weeklong event in which students are able to democratically choose how their
society is set up while also attending free classes and workshops. Before the tents
were even properly staked, a vote was proposed by a student named Chris Enturion, which called for beheadings of any student who didn’t agree with Tent State policy. Chris’ brother Caleb Enturion seconded the motion to put the proposition to vote and Christina Enturion (no relation) rallied others to the cause. Attached to the “Big Brother Proposition” are provisions to equip anyone with a name starting with “C” and ending with “Enturion” with broad police powers as well as the suspension of continued, “DUMB CAUSES,” page 2
