PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY LERCHIN
Classes Still Available The Backpage team couldn’t help but notice that a lot of people weren’t getting into the classes they wanted during pre-registration. Lucky for you, we’ve combed through the online Search for Classes feature to find some courses that still have room for the fall 2011 semester. This should help, in case your Stoner Studies individually-planned major doesn’t get approved. Bio 208 - The Science of Sleep This class explores the importance of sleep to the human body, the circadian rhythm and the science of each of the sleep phases. Students will have the opportunity to use electroencephalographs (EEGs) to study the phases of sleep in laboratory mice. Meets four times weekly at 7 a.m. H & œ³ ª kl‘ l ^ 3 9 Mê 31 & Marijuana on the Human Body This seminar explores what happens on 4/21, after a hearty 4/20. This course discusses the gateway drug theory, examines the long-term damage of marijuana and culminates in a trip to oh-my-gosh there is a ginormous bowl of Ramen in front of me. Nom nom nom.

Times that he attended Whitman College to study the business of the entertainment industry. This fabrication made us think maybe we should have a class on the business of the entertainment industry. In this class, you will learn how to get rich by exploiting average 7th-grade girls and using Auto-Tune to make them sound like pop superstars. However, since itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Whitman, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to throw in stuff about how the music industry is like colonialism and how the price of hiring Ark Music Factory affects the socioeconomic and racial demographics of its clients. g " ´³¡ ÂŞ K 1 0 M$ &4$3 01 l ;31 This course surveys texts previously included in Encounters and the classic Core class.

"Kush rolled, glass full. I prefer the better things." - Drake Happy holidaze! It's the most wonderful time of the year! Here at the Backpage, we decided to chronicle a day in the life of the average Whittie on 4/20. It seems not much happens, but quality over quantity, right? Holla!

Dear Slut-lovers, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not even going to try to excuse myself through a quasi-narrative puzzle-slut format. I just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have time to make a crossword this weekend. Being a slut takes a toll on time, yâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;know, and time is just something I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have this weekend. So hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a jumble. Crossword to come next week.
