SEXUAL BASES FOR EVERY COLLEGE AT THE U
Aron Wolde wrote this
The sprawling social system of the University of Minnesota is diverse as it is big. And with that comes a diversity of foreplay and further sexual techniques. In order to illuminate some of the differing kinks The Black Sheep decided to create a comprehensive breakdown on how to get from first base to a home run in different UMN colleges. We are proud to present: The Sexual Bases for Every UMN College. CLA: Students of the College of Liberal Arts are well-read, easy going, and currently high. Because of all of this, the dating timeline depends upon how many “reflection essays” you have written and how pretentious your Spotify playlist is. First base: Mackin’ atop a pile of leather-bound books. Second base: Discuss Chaucer and other great writers whilst planning Pitchfork Music Festival itineraries. Third base: Smoke pot and laugh at lack of job opportunities. Home: Lick each other’s thick-rimmed glasses. CBS: College of Biological Sciences has a lot of smart people dedicated to smart people things. With a comprehensive knowledge of the human body you’d think they would be phenomenal lovers, but they’re not. Ironically, as anal as they are, they can be a very prudish bunch. First base: Analyze bodily fluids for further “experimentation.” Second base: Render an illustrative diagram of what the partner’s sex organs look like. Third base: Write a lab based on the mechanics of kissing. Home: Hold hands (only if you are both wearing sterile gloves). CSE: The College of Science and Engineering is comprised of future engineers and inventors. Most CSE students suffer from a remarkably well-known case of blue balls, mainly because the ratio of boys to girls is so bad they make China look balanced. First base: Talk to the one girl in CSE. Second base: Lie to her about the origin of your sweat stains. Third base: Make it look like you touched her boob “accidentally.” Home: Think about her boob in the shower.
CEHD: The College of Continued Education and Human Development is essentially the college responsible for educating our future generation. With an entire college dedicated to school, things run pretty vanilla for a long time. That being said, with a college full of people who love teaching and responsibility, you’ll find wifey material for sure. First base: Meet a human being. It doesn’t have to be anyone special since you, as a future teacher can fix their flaws. Second base: Date for several years while you grow as a human being. Go camping, cook with each other, move into a house with a white picket fence, go to Disney World, and play charades on the weekend. Third base: Get married, have 2.5 children, and become soccer parents. Home: Die while looking into the eyes of your lover in your final moment. Then remain a cremated pile of ashes on top of their hand-built bedside table for all of eternity.
CSM: The Carlson School of Management should be renamed the Carlson School of the Gods. Who can imagine a much more worthy cause than business? In fact, if you happen to encounter a majestically marketable embodiment of a Carlson student, give them a hug or at least a blowjob. They’re just so swell! First base: High-five your bro because you plan on boning. Second base: Strategically approach your person of interest and ask him or her out via invite on LinkedIn. Third base: Run a financial background check on your soon to be significant other. If their credit score doesn’t meet your standards, drop them like you drop your daddy’s money on kegs and weed. Home: Applying for the same internship as your person of interest and beating them out, because nothing is sexier than domination. So now you know the rolling climate of the sexual world at the U. Ultimately, when it comes to different colleges, it’s certainly safe to say “different folks, different strokes.” Happy smashing everyone!

IS THE MAN WASTING YOUR STUDENT SERVICE FEES AND KILLING LIBERTY WITH THE RON PAUL VISIT?!? Tom Wyatt-Yerka wrote this
Storied Libertarian and freedom junkie, Ron Paul (the old Paul, not the senator with the weird hair), visited the U on Monday for an event sponsored by the student group Young Americans for Liberty (YAL). The former presidential candidate discussed how the government is crushing our freedom by doing things like building roads, passing laws, and existing. Paul’s speech left attendees waving little Chinese-made ‘Murican flags, singing “Home on the Range,” and reminiscing about when the crushing hand of government allowed individuals to truly be free. Truly it was a good, old-fashioned, jovial American scene. The crowd was so riled up that many had the urge to toss a Molotov cocktail and burn down the nearest government building in the name of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Little did they know… they were in one. That’s right, fellow patriots, Ted Mann Concert Hall, where the event was held, is on the U campus and the U is a public *shudder* university! After learning this fact The Black Sheep wanted to get to the bottom of this Illuminati-style web of government-subsidized lies. Where did the money to bring Ron Paul to campus come from? How is Paul grappling with the fact that he set foot on government land?! When will
the lies stop?! The Black Sheep asked YAL President Chaz Fenske if he could comment on the price tag for Paul’s visit. “It was super-expensive,” Fenske noted. “I had to send [Paul’s] agent a $19,000 check for a deposit, just so he would stop calling me and get off my back.” YAL executive member Munira Osman went on to say that “Chaz isn’t even telling you the whole thing. We’re spending like over $40,000 on the whole visit, but it’s alright. We get to go to a fancy dinner with Ron Paul afterwards and we don’t even have to pay for anything! Ron Paul is so cute!” Where in the world did this relatively small and new student group get the funds to bring Paul to campus? The answer is simple—Student Service Fees. That’s right, the roughly $417 that’s tacked onto your tuition each semester funds student groups like YAL and allows them to provide services to the student body. In much the same way that The Man taxes us to death in order to send welfare checks to lazy, single mothers. It seems that our first question has been answered, but it does little to calm our overzealous nerves.
Hopefully we can find a tidbit of hope when we look towards how Ron Paul himself grappled with the fact of having given a speech on government land. The Black Sheep reached out to Paul’s spokesperson Martin O’Neill for comment. “Dr. Paul is no stranger to being on government land” O’Neill revealed. “In fact, he has spent much of his adult life working for the federal government representing the great people of Texas” and “Dr. Paul and I were fully aware that the University of Minnesota is a public institution and that we would be ‘stepping foot’ on government land, including the hall in which Dr. Paul spoke.” It’s as if the
light has gone out from the world… Who will advocate for anarchy liberty now? In stark contrast from the post-speech jubilation experienced in Ted Mann Concert Hall not long ago, these new developments have left The Black Sheep, and lovers of liberty across the U, singing a much different song to the tune of “Home On The Range.”“Home, home at the U/ where Goldy the Gopher plays/Now seldom is heard an encouraging word/And the skies are cloudy all day.”

DRUNK MODE APP: GOOD OR BAD? Laura Hafes wrote this
THE TOP TEN
Places on the UMN Campus to Cry About the State of Your Life College is more fun than pizza in a bouncy house, but that doesn’t keep feelings of hopelessness, as deep and vast as your college debt, away. In order to minimize the number of people who stare at you and make you feel even more self-conscious about the mess that is your life, The Black Sheep has compiled a list of the best places to cry on campus. (You’re welcome.) 10.) The Gopher Way: Any person in the Gopher Way will likely be in tears because they are lost and/or frightened. Walk down to the tunnels, find a crying partner, and start sobbing about not having enough money to buy the Caramel-Brownie Frap you so desperately need. 9.) The BioCommons: Tucked away in the basement of Moos, the BioCommons is a small room without windows where students in CBS can go to study, all while acquiring a Vitamin D deficiency. Lucky for you, the card reader has been broken lately, so you can keep nosey, judgmental people out while you mourn the loss of any and all direction in your life.
You roll over after a night of unsolicited raving, check your phone, and cringe. For most students at the University of Minnesota, this is a reality weekend after weekend. Maybe you accidentally texted your parents instead of your dealer demanding to have Molly show up. Most of us have been there. Luckily for you, your parents still think “Molly” is that nice girl who lives down the hall from you. Fortunately, like everything in life, there’s an app for that. Drunk Mode—the app—hailed as “the condom for your phone,” has been released. The most essential feature of this new app, is its ability to block you from calling anyone you shouldn’t be talking to while inebriated for 3-12 hours. The days of texting your roommate and confessing that you secretly hate them (and their need to urinate in the shower, on the toilet seat and occasionally on the floor) are over. Drunk Mode steps in and saves face. Since its release there’s been a lot of buzz, mostly by freshmen who can never handle their alcohol...or emotions. In theory this app appears to be more appealing than an empty line for Al’s Breakfast. You can sip Bacardi like it’s your birthday, still have your phone, and not send any incriminating texts, Snapchats or phone calls. Right? Wrong, you naive Gopher! Not everything is rainbows and sunshine, great precaution must be taken before downloading Drunk Mode. What if you get picked up by the police? Maybe you try to gain the attention of your muse by shouting outside their apartment window. Maybe you took it too far, chucked a rock, and broke a window only to realize their window was “third from the right” not “second from the top.” Next thing you know, the popo throw your ass in the back of the car. Now, if you block someone and are unable to call them for 3-12 hrs, who will bail you out of jail? There’s no way you could know people’s numbers anymore, it’s the 21st century, we have caller ID. Which means you’re out of luck and out of school. With the app’s “Breadcrumbs” feature you can recover your drunken snapchats. This can be a blessing or a curse, but mostly a curse. Some may find acid to the face a less painful form of torture than looking through snapchats of you squeezing your breasts… or someone else’s… with your most serious set of come-to-bed eyes that unfortunately come across as a need for medical attention. Keep in mind that the app is useless if you lose your phone, which is an inevitability if you’re intoxicated. At least you won’t have the opportunity to drunk text anymore. But without your phone, you’re forced to drunkenly interact with real people face-to-face, so drunkenly stripping at Bloco on Birthday Tuesday is a real possibility. Drunk mode can’t block people in real life. So while the “technological condom” might allow you to have all the fun and exhilaration of partying without the shameful memories, just remember that condoms break and semen gets everywhere. This app is not bulletproof, and you may still be left with the repercussions and child support.
8.) Basement of Peik Hall: Where is Peik Hall? Exactly. The eerie abandoned hallways make this spot perfect for both ghoulish spirits and crybabies. Feel free to snivel about how Target Express doesn’t sell cheese pizza rolls; the ghosts won’t judge you. 7.) The Light Rail: Just like the subways of New York, the Light Rail is no stranger to bizarre characters and outlandish behavior. Rumor has it that a man once took a dump in the middle of the Light Rail car. Bottom line, if you tear up on the Light Rail because you drunk emailed your professor telling them to “kiss your bum-bum,” you will by no means be the weirdest one there. 6.) “The Pit” of Rarig: With students often rehearsing and preparing for performances, anything dramatic in this area will be viewed as acting. So go ahead, whimper and wail all you want. You might even get a round of applause for your talents —all while you feel like you have no talents at all. 5.) The Landing Outside the Lower Level of Kolthoff: When standing in this poorly-lit corner, pedestrians will either not see you or assume that you’re a murderer—both of which are better outcomes than people knowing that tears of failed Psych1001 are streaming down your face. 4.) RecWell: Is it sweat? Did you splash your face with water? Are you crying like a baby? No one has to know the truth, as your sweat-mixed tears slip down your face during Zumba. 3.) Vending Machine Nook in Blegen: Located across the hall from Subway, this nook has various vending machines for emotional eating. Buy yourself a treat before wedging between two machines. You can turn on the waterworks while you remember how fit you were before adopting a steady diet of Mesa and Shuang Cheng take-out. 2.) The Grey “Trash Only” Bins: If you feel like your life is exceptionally messy, it might help to “throw yourself away” for a while until you’re done pouting about it. The “trash only” bins are scattered all over campus, providing you with a place to hide whenever your emotions become stronger than your ability to appear like a put-together human being. 1.) Anywhere on the St. Paul Campus: The St. Paul Campus is the number one place to cry at the University of Minnesota because very few people willingly spend time there. So go ahead, weep, howl, scream, bawl, and curse, it’ll make you feel better again. That is, until the next time your relatives ask “what’re you going to do after college, exactly?” Olivia Scott wrote this

5 Steps to Bullshiting Your Term Paper in 1 Hour
So you’ve put off doing your paper again. Only this time, it’s a semester-long term paper that there's no possible way you could finish an hour before a 9 a.m. class, right? Wrong! Before you get white-hot anxiety and contemplate cutting off your arm for a doctor’s note, work your way through this how-to guide to finish your long-ass paper in just one hour. Step 1: Throw away all your standards Before you sit down to start an hour of this shit show, prepare yourself to be disappointed. If you expect your fingers to magically pour out the next New York Times bestseller and still have time to stop in Starbucks before class, you’re going fail. Your main focus should be typing words that form a semi-comprehensible sentence while keeping expectations for yourself as low as possible. Step 2: Answer the main question With over 100 papers to read at a time, the chances your professor is going to over analyze your introduction are slim. An introduction is basically a bunch of fluff that frames the ultimate purpose of your paper. Start off with a quote by someone famous in the field to hook your professor’s interest. After babbling on about the importance of this issue/research/book, state your opinion as bluntly as possible so your professor knows you mean business. Your false sense of confidence will come off as impressive, trust us. Step 3: Befriend Wikipedia And no, you’re not going to blindly copy passages, dumbass. Take a gander all the way at the bottom of the Wikipedia pages. Two words: free bibliography. It can technically be argued that Wikipedia is a series of “peer-reviewed articles,” but all you have to do is reap the rewards of their hard work.
Step 4: Composing the body Click on one of the Wikipedia references. That’s your first paragraph. Read the first sentence or two and copy it down as the beginning of your first paragraph. To avoid plagiarism, quote the author of the article as much as possible. To seem like you’re truly researching the topic, make sure you restate the quote in your own words in the following sentence, even if you only change one or two words. As long as your professor believes you know what the hell you’re talking about, you’re golden. Repeat this process for 3-4 more paragraphs, depending on how fast you can click COMMAND+C and COMMAND+V. Step 5: Wrap it up Like the intro, your conclusion is just there to appease the powers that be and because your 5th grade teacher told you it was necessary. Like you, your professor just wants to get the gist of your paper and the conclusion is your place to show you did your “research.” Start by restating the purpose of your paper from the introduction. Then simply copy and paste the first sentence from each body paragraph to bring all the ideas together. Your last sentence should be the money maker. Spend the most time on this one killer sentence that will show how all of these ideas connect to the larger world. If you did it all correctly, you should have 40 minutes to focus on this sentence. Before you Kanye-shrug and deem this paper “good enough,” run through it with a rather wide-toothed comb. Agree with whatever spellcheck tells you to do and polish up the the formatting with proper font, heading, margins, all the shit that really doesn’t matter. Once that’s done, you’ve successfully bullshitted your way through a huge paper. Print it out and give yourself a gold star. You did it!

MARCHING BAND THREATENS TO PERFORM NAKED UNTIL GIVEN NEW UNIFORMS Big Biscuit wrote this
The marching band has been marching in the same chastity-belted garbs for 23 years, and the members have voiced their fervent disdain for the cobwebs collecting in their particularly unbangable uniforms. While the football team has millions of dollars being poured into their new waterfall pool and lavender-infused jacuzzi, the marching band can barely afford to get uniforms that have working zippers. “We’ve decided that there’s only one way to get the administration’s attention, and that’s by going nude,” says drum major Margaret Polaski. Polaski and other marching band leaders are aware of the judgment they might receive while commanding their musicians commando. But these decomposing uniforms are so ragged and atrocious after years of wearing them, the marching band decided that wearing nothing but a smile was better than wearing these maroon and shit rags. The Black Sheep was given a shocking behind-the-scenes glimpse at how oppressed the marching band is in their antiqued attire. While the athletes are bringing sexy back with their tight, shimmery Goldy-approved unis, the marching band looks like their uniforms were farted out of The Music Man. “Honestly, I’d rather be in my birthday suit
than those raggedy old uniforms on the field,” says 290-lb tuba player Mark Dillard. “They’re so old and ugly, Kaler’s mom probably wore them back in the day.” According to Polaski, the marching band has actually prepared to have new band members practice naked at band camp. “We already have a reputation of being a bit cultish, hopefully we won’t scare too many freshmen away. But we have to do what we have to do,” Polaski sighs. Now the barely-legal newbies will make band camp more taboo than it is while they play scales stark nude. “It certainly won’t be comfortable when it’s cold and the metal is pressed against our naked skin, but it’s better than the moldy uniforms that has spider eggs in them….I think they’ve hatched.” These uniforms have been worn by so many bodies for so many years, Boynton is inspecting them for diseases that may be passed on to marching band members. “For years we’ve seen band members come in for a multiplicity of diagnoses,” reports Dr. Trisha Robinson. “Some come in with rashes, others come in with new allergies, and some come in with warts. The one thing they all have in common is that they come in for appointments after football games when they’ve been wearing

these uniforms for hours,” she says. “We even had one young man come in who unfortunately was diagnosed with syphilis. If that doesn’t show you how old these uniforms are, I don’t know what does.” Whether you’re banging a member of the marching band or not, the School of Music urges students, parents, alumni, faculty and Gopher fans alike to fund some fresh new outfits for these poor troubadours. No one should have to wear crusting, decomposing
clothes pressed against their skin for hours whilst playing instruments and being forced to dance to the orchestra version of “Jump On It” in front of 50,000 people.

THE DRINKING GAME
RECIPE FOR DISASTER
POST-LENT DISASTER
KOSHER CORN DOGS
So you gave up drinking for Lent like an idiot, eh? This week’s going to be one hell of a ride for your gut and your roommates. But tonight it’s time to take out your 40-day frustration on the place that put you in this bind to begin with. You’re going back to church to show them the mess they’ve created.
Oy vey! We’re in the midst of Passover and you’ve got a taste for corn dogs? Lucky enough, you’ve got The Black Sheep to help you out in making those bad boys kosher. They may not end up being corn dogs, but we guarantee you’ll have something in your dogs.
What You’ll Need: 30-rack of God’s greatest creation: beer, and penance for what’s about to happen. Number of Players: The father, the son, and your case of holy spirits.
What You’ll Need: Your favorite kosher food, corn meal, flour, sugar, baking powder, milk, salt, pepper and eggs, hot oil, tasteful imagination. Fatty Factor: It’s better than eating grandma’s matzo ball soup!
The Game Ends When: You cut the communion line and chug all the wine, burp, and yell, “ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE ME” then leave.
Let’s Get Baked: -Combine 1 cup corn meal, 1 cup flour, ¼ cup sugar, 4 tablespoons of baking powder and a dash of salt and pepper. -Add one cup milk and an egg to the above mix. You now have your batter. - Take your favorite foods (mine is pizza, so we’ll go with that) and prepare them as usual. - Once your pizza sauce and cheese are warmed up, mix them together. - Dip your pizza in the batter. -Place it in hot oil for about 3 minutes. - Let it cool down and eat away, guilt free (imagine that what you just made is not a pizza roll, but a corn dog instead.)

Drink every time someone yells out amen.
