Kids Today: Colleges Are Not for Students
Cheaters never soar at St. Joe’s: Hawk reporter exposes and half-heartedly blasts the “cheating” culture that’s pervasive throughout campus: plagiarism, crib sheets under skirts, tattooed algorithms on people’s forearms — everything. All of this, he says, is wrong, wrong, wrong. Just like a good Jesuit boy should. [The Hawk]
Stay in Philly or be shunned : The message Campus Philly is spreading this weekend is to encourage young, talented people (most of whom graduate from Penn, apparently) to stay in the city. To hammer home this point, the CP crew has recruited hip-hopper Talib Kweli to perform for those who attend the kickoff event. Perhaps he’s encouraging a career in hip-hop. [Daily Pennsylvanian]
Wildcat wetness: The sprinkler system went off in Alumni Hall and nobody knows how it happened. Illegal smoking? Faulty sprinkler wiring? Rogue human torch? Or, as one RA surmised, “ball hitting the sprinkler”? It’s a mystery. But it’s good to know that the Villanova dorm sprinkler system apparently churns out 800 gallons of water per minute.

Befriend your professor, even if it makes you uncomfortable: So says chemistry professor John Williams, who has been at Temple for 38 years. Obviously, he’s unaware of how inviting a professor out for coffee (as he suggests) could potentially be misinterpreted. Old dudes. So funny. [The Temple News]
