NEW BRUNSWICK— I n light of the recent news of the passing of Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, Rutgers University has decided to honor Hefner’s memory with a magazine of naked professors. Hefner died Wednesday night at the age of 91, surrounded by friends and loved ones in his mansion full of models. After hearing this tragic news, Rutgers University board members, including President Robert Barchi, met to discuss how the University should handle the death. “We were thinking of how we could possibly honor the life of such a distinguished and admirable American leader, and came to the conclusion that the best way to keep his memory alive would be to keep

WASHINGTON— In the latest natural devastation
that is Hurricane Maria, President Trump is taking quick precautions to prevent all the Puerto Rican refugees from coming into mainland United States. “We don’t want these island Mexicans to come to our
country and take our jobs. We don’t want their salsa music and bad English to infect our airwaves”. Trump’s proposed wall wouldn’t just be a metal fence with barbed wires. It would be “a fully armored fortress complete with neoNazi’s, klansman and very fine people on both sides” armed with Tiki torches securing the parameters. All groups will also be unionized and are guaranteed vouchers for burritos or soft shelled tacos for every fortress hopper that they kill because fuck hard shelled tacos. As Trump sent out his executive order, it was immediately shut down by Congress. Trump,

WHAT COULD GO WRONG
NSO NO LONGER REQUIRED TO BE DRUG AND ALCOHOL FREE MIKE HAWK PELVIS SAFETY OFFICER
NEW BRUNSWICK— This past weekend, the administration at Rutgers just put out a statement that they would no longer require the new student orientations to be drug and alcohol free. In the past the NSO orientation leaders were tasked with being extremely vigilant to sniff out any parties or illegal activities amongst the newly appointed scarlet knights. Unfortunately, this has been greatly impacting the attendance to NSO. A previous poll determined that only about half of all incoming freshman here at Rutgers New Brunswick actually attend the new student orientation. In

He then proceeded called meetings with all of his consultants to decide the most efficient way of denying help to the citizens of Puerto Rico. As Trump continued his fit of rage, Hurricane Maria devastated mainland Puerto Rico. Since he could not find the support he needed for wall 2.0 he signed another executive order to take away the passports of every Puerto Rican on the island. Along with that, Trump also added Puerto Rico to the travel ban. Still being completely oblivious that Puerto Ricans are American citizens and cannot be banned from entering the mainland US, Trump is confident that this bill will pass in it’s entirety citing his past complete disregard of the law.

Rutgers has promised payment of $200 to the teachers for each photo used in the magazine. “As a tenured professor, money can get a little tight, so it’s nice to have an opportunity to make some cash on the side”, said 76-year-old Economics professor Howard Gurgich, while ass bent over his desk in front of flashing cameras.

an effort to improve morale and excitement amongst freshman, Rutgers will now be supplying students with free alcohol to every new student who brings ratio. The statement read "Any new student 18 years of age or older will be entitled to 8 shots of everclear." This is expected to increase attendance to NSO by 25%. By next year we can be sure to no longer have freshman throwing up on the bus because they can't hold their liquor; proving this to be an effective method of truly preparing the future of America.

"I'm very excited to take this project under my belt. I've always wanted to do more with the teaching staff here, so I'm happy to get some more intercourse with these professors" said Hobbs. Hobbs projects that the magazine will make its money from production back in the first week, and will raise student morale.

PANERA BREAD AUTUMN SQUASH SOUP BY KNIFTY KNITTER
Some call it a fiesta of flavors, a symphony of sensations, a carnival of culinary genius. All of these would be correct in referring to the flavor artistry that has gone into Panera Bread’s Autumn Squash Soup. One quickly learns that it’s not just a soup, but an experience and with each creamy spoonful, it becomes more and more irresistible. It truly is the lubricant of the gods-not just a soup, but a potion of lust that caresses you from your insides . One spoonful and you reach another world, a full bread bowl’s worth and you’ve transcended time and space entirely and arrive on a plane where you can see flavor. The luscious acorn squash sets the mood in your mouth as tangy notes of crisp apple sashay across your tongue. Then drops of honey glide gracefully across the tip of your tongue, the sweet spot, and you think you’ve reached the climax, when the truth is, the show has just begun. Out of nowhere, hints of curry arouse your taste buds and take your breath away. You are in shock-or do you have an unknown allergy to curry? Don’t worry, the salted pumpkin seed garnish cloaked in heavy cream pirouettes onto your taste buds and all the flavors suddenly take a bow at once. Then you swallow. In an instant, the act is done, you come back down to earth and ask yourself how deserving you were of that experience. Then you go for another spoonful. 8/10. Order the bowl, not the cup.

WHY IS IT SO HARD TO FIND PEOPLE IN THE ALT-RIGHT? BY LOGICAL LARRY
I’m trying to bridge the gap between the Alt-Right and Liberals. But whenever I ask someone if they’re racist, they ignore me and give me eyes that make me feel like a homeless man asking for a blowjob. I’m starting to think there is a conspiracy going on around me. If someone asked me if I was racist I would only ignore them if they are racist. I’m starting to think everyone is racist and I might be surrounded by Alt-Right. Why else would anyone not want to give me a blowjob? But a search for a racist man in a Blue State University is like finding a teal power ranger at Comic Con-a mind fuck. However I’m pretty sure I saw a bunch of racists when Milo came to town. Maybe I should be looking for the gay Alt-Right. To bring true peace, a gay man who understands the white man’s spite would be perfect. Well if anyone is gay, or not racist Alt-Right, or a racist Alt-Right or a power ranger. Contact me at Harlem Venison on Facebook.
A whole new world
INTERNATIONAL STUDENT FINALLY BUILDS UP COURAGE TO TALK TO WHITE PERSON BY DUM GAI Going into my senior year of college here at Rutgers, I made one shocking realization, I have never spoken, nor interacted with a single white person. Ever since I came to America to study, I’ve only known and made friends with other Chinese people. But as I enter my last year of college, I’ve decided to turn over a new leaf. I’m finally going to get over my fear and do the impossible. I wanted to be the leading example for other international students to follow. The hardest part of getting over my fear was finding the correct white person to talk to. Should I break the ice with one of my professors? The homeless guy in downtown New Brunswick? Frat boy from Skullhouse? After pondering this for a good ten minutes and texting back and forth with my friends on Wechat, I decided I’d talk to the Smoke Shop clerk on Easton Ave. My palms were sweaty, knees weak, arms heavy, as I entered the smoke establishment. When I normally buy my pack of Marlboro Reds, I stay quiet and pretend the clerk doesn’t exist. But this time, the clerk was as real as the RU Screw. As I pointed out my smokes of choice to the clerk, I finally did it. I made small talk. I nervously asked, “How are you? And how’s your day going?” To which the clerk replied, “Good.” That was it. After I left the shop, I felt as if that was the scariest moment of my life. I didn’t know if I was going to make it out alive. All my friends were worried for me. I had 100+ messages on WeChat asking if I was okay. But here I am today, alive and well. Although I wanted to be the pioneer for other international students to do the same, unfortunately nothing has changed. Every other international student is still scared to talk to a white person. As I drive away in my brand new Maserati, I want to say something to every international student who may be reading this. Surprisingly, white people are harmless as these cigs I smoke with my buddies outside of math class.

I Pledge Allegiance
Filling Big Shoes
Is it still hazing if I get an orgasm during it? (If you’re part of the Rutgers BDSM club, then yeah. That’s a real club btw.) Selling an elliptical. Lightly used as coat rack, never been used for exercise. (Wait, seriously? Hell yeah! I’ll take that off your hands. I need a new coat rack after I lost my old one in a pollo match.) Doug scares me. (You mean that guy from the NickToon show right? I mean he’s about as scary as an oddly balding pre-teen can be. Catchy theme song though. dooo doot dooo) I’m looking for a well fitting pair of women’s corduroy pants, preferably in cranberry navy or dark brown. (Me too just cause I’m working on a Daria cosplay and the fact women’s clothes fit my curves better.)
In my objective opinion the best personals editor was the one from 201516. (Not even gonna argue that.) Should I take a knee at RU football games?. (I tend to spend the entire game doubled over vomiting, which I think the Founder Fathers wanted.) Single available in 10 person house off Easton. 20 min walk to College Ave. $900 rent non-negotiable. (Perfect! I’m looking for a place to store my new eliptical. Is it ten people one bath, or ten people and one useable bath?) Is it normal to lose my virginity on the couch in the student lounge? (Depends on how many people were there watching, the more the better. Also, hope you put down a sheet.)
CREEPY HOMELESS MAN DOES NOT HAVE INTERNET AND NEITHER DO I!
Is it wrong to ask my roommate to have sex with me and my boyfriend? (I dunno, threesomes for guys is a lot of work. Too many moving parts.) Shit’s fucked y’all. (I’ve already bought a cabin in the woods and enough supplies to last me for the next three years. By then I hope the worst of it blows over.) My bus driver has been on break for 2 hours, should I call someone? (Are they in the bus or out of the bus? Out of the bus, then they are never coming back so just drive the bus yourself. In the bus they might have given up on life so same as before, just drive.)
Full Basket
Can I live off fruit snacks alone? (Only the Scooby-Doo ones. The amount of artifical junk they put into those things literally makes them a super food.) Is it odd that my 20 year old friend is being asked out by her 30 year old boss? (Age is just a number like jailcells are just a room and older men are married.) Is it wrong to drink all my drinks out of 40 bottles? (I know for a fact orange juice tastes better out of a fourty. Tea, not so much.) I forgot my earbuds today and a guy fucking talked to me on the bus. (The nerve of some people. Everyone knows that if you don’t have a phone or earbuds, it’s standard procedure to look first out the window, then at the ads on the bus, then at the hottest guy/girl on the bus. Guessing you are neither of those things, he was just rude.)

Runnin Out
Is it weird how often I see my roommate’s dick. (I mean if you are banging them, or are their doctor, then no. Otherwise invest in matching robes.)
How much running is too much running? Like I like to run around Cook/Douglass like twice a day to keep myself in shape.
My place fucking burned down and now I’m royally fucked. (The RU Screw comes in many forms. Be it by fire or by water, the Screw rends the butthole asunder. Just camp out in classrooms.) I now have several scars from where I fucked a Four Loko can. (Is this where you thought you would take your life?) My roommate is a radio star and I don’t know how to cope with it. (I would not give it much thought. These days radio stars are less popular than any jackass playing videogames on Youtube.) Is it appropriate to give someone a trophy in lieu of flowers for her dead son? (I dunno about appropriate, but it is very presidential. I hear a good golf trophy can feed an entire island community for years.) I keep forgetting I have an online class. Am I screwed, or can I still salvage this? (I have it on very good authority that teachers also forget that they have online classes. You just need to be careful of the perfect strom of them remembering and you forgetting.)
(Human beings were never meant to run at all, let alone for extended periods of time. We are built as a climbing and crawling species that deny God’s design by walking around like we own the place.) Anyone willing to let me take pictures of your pants? Its for science I swear! (Whatever science you are doing, let me in!) Dr. Seuss used to draw racist advertisements. (So did almost everyone back in the day. Its pretty safe to assume all historical figures before 1950 did something racist.) I want to start an A cappella group with my friends but none of them are willing to join in. (You and every fucking kid who watched Pitch Perfect. A capella is like a cancer that was born from the radience of Anna Kendrick’s dolcet tones. Just stick to bands, lord knows they are dying out faster than goldfish on field day.) Back in my day weed used to cost a nickel. (No shit sherlock, why do you think they used to be called dime bags? Inflation really hurt the weed industry.)

EA sp o rt s r e pl ac e s to m brady on t he c ov e r o f ma dden 18 Throb Lowe Always Kneeling ;)
New Brunswick— In response to recent protests in the NFL, EA Sports has released an updated cover to reflect their opinion on the matter. The featured athletes are Eric Reid and Colin Kaepernick taking a knee during the national anthem. In the background is an image of Donald Trump with clown makeup on. It’s needless to say football fans have never been more divided. Kansas City native and die-hard Chiefs fan Eric Clomp wrote in to say “I can’t believe these entitled, arrogant, spoiled brats are spitting in the face of true Americans. If it was up to me, those sons of bitches would be forced to stand for the anthem. I can’t believe that now even video games are taking sides.” In days since Clomp wrote in,
Making a Statement This is the new cover for this itertion of Madden
he formed a facebook group called “Patriots vs Pansies”. The page will be used as a forum to spew hate against people exercising their first amendment right.
The name of the group pays homage to the famously successful white guy Tom Brady, who is being removed from the cover. The Patriots have released a comment on the situation.
"We don't care who's on the cover. We're the best god damned sports organization on the planet, and we're tied with the fucking Jets. We have bigger fish to fry." Other fans however, are thrilled with EA’s decision. “It’s great to have the movement supported by so many people.” said Darren Matthews, a freshman at Rutgers University “I feel like there may be a fundamental misunderstanding about the true nature of the protests, and we’re all straying toward a discussion about nationalism, and not racial inequality. I liked that Trump was a clown too.” Kaepernick has yet to respond to our request for a quote, and has yet to post to his social media on the matter. The cover will be officially rolled out sometime in late October.
WINNING AT LOSING
RUTGERS UNEXPECTEDLY CRUSHED BY OHIO STATE Balls deep Pleasantly Hairy
PISCATAWAY— After what seemed to be a great season for the Rutgers Scarlet Knights, winning against Morgan State and getting a few touchdowns in the games against Washington, Eastern Michigan and Nebraska, fans are devastated by the truly unexpected lose against Ohio State 56 to 0. “I don’t know what happened, I thought we had this shit,” said one student as his body paint slowly sweat down his luscious chest, soaking into the band of his Hanes boxer briefs, almost as though his team spirit was melting away. What happened? Why did we lose? Is this going to continue? These were among the questions asked after

being absolutely bewildered as to how we were crushed by Ohio State. “After their first touchdown, I thought to myself, ok this is what usually happens, they get us at first and then we blow ‘em away, but instead they bent
us over and continuously fisted us until we bled!” said one fan as he wiped away the tears and repeatedly said “I’m not crying, it’s fucking allergies!” He was crying, the dude is a total fucking bitch. After being asked how

this could have happened, football expert Steve Madden said, “I dunno, I’m a fashion designer.” Obviously, this didn’t help much, but we had no money left to get an interview with the correct Madden, so we put this in anyway. Will our team be able to return to the Scarlet Knights we know and love, who sometimes almost win and destroys 3rd division teams, or will they continue to eat shit? The Raiders management refused to comment on the matter, but after hearing a series of high-fives coming from the meeting room, their significant others gave a comment that they “have a lot of explaining to do”.
