College News Bits

Wesleyan Undergrads Clash with Cops: After some end-of-the-year Wesleyan parties got out of hand, the cops descended upon the party-goers and utilized a questionable amount of force. The Prereq has the full scoop.

Barack Obama's Wild College Days: Regardless of whether or not he wins the Democratic nomination, Mr. Obama is one cool character. Wonkette has the full story on his crazy days as an undergrad. If this doesn’t convince you to vote Obama, nothing will.

Moving Home After Graduation: Out of college and heading back home? Gradspot offers some helpful tips on how to transition back into living with your parents. Here’s my helpful tip: Don’t. Find an apartment ASAP.

College Cheerleader of the Week: The good folks over at SI On Campus have put together and awesome photo gallery for Washington State’s Maggie Cahalan. I must admit that agree with their nomination.

Funniest Video You’ll See This Weekend: Check out this hilarious College Humor TV Original entitled “Honest College Ad”. Good stuff!


The Rest

Bad Fashion Trends: Uncoached snagged some horrid photos of Greg Oden, Portland Trails Blazer center, rocking a frohawk. If you’re wondering why this is relevant to college students, there are two reasons: (1) he likes to frequent Penn State parties, and (2) we feel it’s our duty to dissuade people from trying this haircut. Don’t do it!

Pop Culture: CollegeCandy has a story written by their UW-Madison contributor about great future locations for MTV to film the Real World. I don’t think they were too happy about the recent announcement that season 21 would be in Brooklyn.

Tech Corner: While we don’t cover many tech stories (this will likely change in the future), check out this video from Gizmodo of the best gaming chair ever. No frat house should be without one!
