Unsure of whether he was a part of a bad joke or a sad turning point in a student’s semester, Physics TA Rhian Paul reports that one of his students submitted a Ratty omelet order form in place of their recent problem set. “I realized they probably made a mistake when I found the 4”x5” slip of paper peaking out of the stack of normal pages,” said Paul, who remembers laughing before he realized the student hadn’t turned in anything besides a request for a whole-egg, tomatoes and mushrooms, hold-the-cheese omelet.

Visitors to Jeff Worley’s New Dorm single this semester were reportedly pleased with the number of tissue boxes placed around the room, enough to be convenient but not creepy.

In what has become an unfortunate annual trend at Brown, several dozen inebriated freshman were carted off by Brown’s emergency medical staff last weekend to be fed to Gothrak, the Great Glutton.
Upperclassmen are all too familiar with the cliched ritual: freshmen go out to parties on their first free night, drink a bit too much, have to be carted off in an EMS ambulance and are driven fifteen minutes away to Gothrak’s cavernous sacrificial chamber where friends usually pick up their remains a few hours later.

In what is being considered a cornerstone discussion synthesizing the state of U.S. politics under a new administration, the Joukowsky Forum’s recent panel featured five political science professors sighing with their heads in their hands.
