'SHUTTE'ING TO VICTORY NEW RUTGERS GOLF COACH CELEBRATED ACROSS CAMPUS BY COMMANDO UNITED STATES SENIOR NEWS EDITOR
NEW BRUNSWICK— Sophomore Marley Murkowski wiped a tear from her eye after the 3 hour long “Welcome to Rutgers” parade held last Friday along College Avenue for the University’s newest sports legend. “I’ve never been so proud to be an RU student,” said Murkowski, who plans to attend every golf game this upcoming season and give her support with wildly polite clapping. Sports analysts agree that Shutte will boost the golf team to a level of unparalleled victories. The golf team, which is regarded as the university’s must valuable asset, is looking forward to its first appearance at the Superbowl, which is pre- SHUTTE'S SHUTTLE dicted to happen after they beat Leftover money from Schiano's contract allowed for its construction
every golf team and move on to beating professional football teams. Shutte has reassured the university that he will help the men’s golf team cope with their newfound international fame. Shutte was picked from an elite field of seven potential coaches after a gladiator style sine missione trial on the planet’s most challenging golf course. It is most likely that his experience is what pulled him through. The coach, who hails from the heights of Mount Olympus referred to as “Lehigh University”, has trained in such extreme places as the Sahara Desert, where he once hit a golf ball out of a 2,000 mile wide sand trap.

LX Bus Driver Loses Voice, Campus Morale Down 70 Percent BY THE KILLA WHALE MANAGING EDITOR
PISCATAWAY—A recent study measuring overall student happiness on Livingston Campus yielded low results in the “joy” and “motivation” categories. University officials are attributing the poor results to the infamous “Motivational LX Driver” losing his voice on Monday. The jovial driver was unable to bring his enthusiasm and inspirational tactics to work with him for the past few days, and is not expected to be able to speak again until next week. Student Jackie Morrison expressed her sadness after getting off the LX yesterday. "Tuesday morning just hasn’t been the same. My coffee tastes like crap, and I saw a dead pigeon outside of Tillet. There’s no way I’m going to be able to do my six-page take-home midterm essay on thyroid glands without having the motivation
I need.” Student morale levels on Livingston have been known to fluctuate, which is why campus officials originally sought to review them in wake of the campus’s complete overhaul. The results have Dean of College Avenue Timothy Grimm worried. Grimm said, “Students seem to respond well to charismatic bus drivers. They want to fist bump our drivers and they
need daily motivation to do well.” Grimm also said that the university is considering recording the motivational LX driver’s voice as a replacement for the bus system’s current pre-automated one. “Not only do we want to ensure that our students remain inspired if he loses his voice, we want every bus to carry that same exuberant vibe.”

"She asks me everyday what my schedule is so we can eat meals together, even though I have a big weekly calendar posted above my bed. And she always meets me outside of my classrooms when they end. I'm almost positive she skips hers." Jane also expressed her dis-

The lesson today is that even when you’re absolutely sure of something, you may, in fact, be wrong. The lesson learner of this story? My mother and I. The time frame? When I was eleven. The villain? A grape flavored Flintstones vitamin and a glass of two percent. So I’m sitting on my couch, drinking my daily cup of milk (which I later learn is the reason I have to defecate before homeroom everyday in middle school), when my mom walks up to me and demands that I take my vitamins. I, in turn, just simply tell her to bring me any color of vitamin BUT purple. “Sorry Fei Lap (my name in Chinese), I already got you one and it’s purple so TOO BAD,” my mother cried at medium volume. “I’m going to throw up if you make me eat that,” I flatly promised her. “ Just eat it. You will be completely fine,” my mother counterpromised. So with no other options, I ate the vitamin. About three seconds and five chews later I vomited violently all over
our rug. The little granulated chunks of purple vitamin everpresent in the slightly off color milky stream shooting out of my mouth. The acidic beam sank into the rug as I struggled to catch my breath. My mother stared at me as she realized that her extra decades of wisdom had betrayed her. After four seconds of shock and awe she collected herself. “Next time, I’ll just belive you,” she lamented. She then proceeded to beat me with the bamboo duster on our way out of the school for puking all over the rug. Thus, my mother learned that no matter how sure she is about something, she may still be wrong; and I learned that even if something is not your fault, you will still be punished (beaten) for it.

Last Night I Dreamed of Biddies By Jack Preslutsky Last night I dreamed of biddies, there were biddies everywhere, they were laying on my stomach, they were letting me pull their hair, they were rubbing at my penis, they were giving me good head, they were shaking all their booties as they writhed upon my bed. They were on the chairs and tables, they were on the chandeliers, they were rustling in the bedsheets, they were moaning in my ears, there were biddies, biddies, biddies for as far as I could see... when I woke today, I noticed there were panties on top of me.

Student of the week JENNA K. STERN
Major: Philosophy, Linguistics, German, Cognitive Science Minor: Pfft, minors? AGE: 21 Occupation: Peer Mentor, Philosopher, Park Ranger, Vineyard Worker, Future Farm Owner and Facilitator of the Birthing of Animals and Plants. Jenna Stern is the prime example of a student who is affected by a narcissistic personality disorder. However, that is not to say she shouldn’t be. Jenna is a quad major student here at Rutgers, and is set to graduate a semester early. Her GPA is 3.86 and the only times she gets less than an A in her classes is when she decides she wants to. Academically, Jenna views herself as a god amongst brainless heathen. Some of her favorite activities are knitting, saving animals from death, and philosophizing. She also partakes in the judgment of others, deeming certain people worthy of existence while making her feelings on people who are inferior very obvious: very obvious to the person, and to all of those around them. She also enjoys walking with her nose high in the air in
tandem with her other activities. Jenna also partakes in lifestyle choices to help prove her superiority to others. She sincerely believes that being vegetarian makes her better than the “meat-eating underlings”, or so she likes to call them. She also likes to make herself greater than other females by enduring a very tough dieting regimen to grow her breasts. This method of hers has allowed her to increase her breast size consistently every year for the last four years. As far as movies go, Jenna says she’s too good for them saying, “I’m too good for movies. Why revel in others’ works, when I can just create my own?” That last sentence describes Jenna’s entire being down to every last narcissistic molecule inside her body.

Aw, Crap, That Dude is Going to Ask Me For Money BY STEVEN SILLS
Oh god, that guy is staring at me; I shouldn’t make eye contact. He better not ask me for cash. If he does, I’m not giving him anything. I’m fucking sick and tired of people walking up to me like I’m some god-damn ATM for homeless people. What is it that makes people wanna ask ME for change, instead of everyone around me? Christ, he’s walking towards me. I knew it. What is it this time? He wants to buy a train ticket to get home and see his wife and sick child? I can’t beli- wait, what if he isn’t lying? What if he’s actually stuck here? I know I’d want some help if I was stuck on this god-awful campus. I... I guess a dollar won’t hurt.
I’m Totally Going to Ask That Dude For Change BY JOE THE HOBO
Hmm, I’m kinda itchin’ for some booze. Bet I can get some cash from that kid wearing those fancy headphones. Those guys always have cash. Hah, he’s starin’ at me. Bet he’s afraid I’m gonna ask him for cash for no reason. No matter, I just gotta tell ‘em some sob story about how I need to get home to see my precious family and would “oh so kindly” appreciate whatever he could spare. ...yup, worked like a charm. Seriously, some people are saps. I bet I could get rich this way if I didn’t like to drink so much.
When I came to college, I was expecting to be in charge of my own life. Then I found out that there is someone there without a life of his own who has nothing better to do than try to run mine. Of course, I am talking about my RA. On the first day, he seemed like such a nice guy. He told us about the buses and how to print stuff in the computer labs. He seemed like someone I’d totally party with. Then I found out what a fucking narc he was. All I wanted to do was celebrate my 18th birthday with some beer, liquor, and a few friends. He comes at 11:30, warning me that I have to be quieter! It wasn’t even quiet hours. Who cares if people have exams? They’re on College Ave; they know what to expect. Everyone parties all the time! They should go home to study or something! Midnight comes, and my friends sang happy birthday, like good friends would. He knocks again, and my asshole friend swings the door wide open with my pong table and beers all over. That’s not my fault! I wouldn’t have opened the door! Blame my asshole friend! I begged him to let me go because it was my birthday, but instead he
wrote up all my friends on the hall and me. That’s not even the worst part! He decided to call 911 for my girlfriend who had been passed out for the last hour or two since she had vomited. My girlfriend was only in the hospital overnight. No big deal. But then her parents came the next day and took her home! She said her parents are making her commute now. I’m so pissed! I was about to get to third base with her! If my RA hadn’t stuck his nose into my business, I could have been sticking my nose in her business, if you catch my drift. To think I took time on my birthday to clean vomit in the bathroom so we wouldn’t get in trouble, and then I still got in fucking trouble! RA’s are the scum of the earth. They have nothing better to do than ruin the college life. They act like they care, but they’re just on some type of power trip and they totally get off on bossing people around. Just get a life, you useless wastes of time! I can’t wait to get out of the dorms where there are no rules and I can play my music as loud as I want and drink and smoke all the time and there is NOBODY who could possibly knock on my door to question what I’m doing or to write me up.

What I found was that the Orange Crush greatly overpowered the delicate flavor of the Mountain Dew. Orange Crush by itself is very thick and syrupy, and consequently weighs down your palette. Mountain Dew, on the other hand, is like a carbonated Gatorade; the flavor is not forceful, but instead is meant to be light and refreshing. When the two sodas are mixed together, none of the Mountain Dew comes through. You may as well just drink Orange Crush plain.
In the future, were I to mix these again, I might fill the glass with Mountain Dew and only add a splash of Orange Crush, so that the Mountain Dew will have a chance to shine through.
