A new study out from Circuit City shows (surprise, surprise!) the top graduation gift isn't a boob job...

2008 USC Senior Foutain Run
Syracuse students sprint around campus in their undies; USC celebrates graduation with a splash in the school fountain.  Looking at these photos you have to wonder how much alcohol was involved... 
BREAKING NEWS: Commencement is at Eastern, Luxury Boxes to Blame
They're bracing for tomorrow.

This, for lack of a better term, is ****ing unbelievable. Because of the ongoing project at the Big House to build luxury boxes so rich alumni can crap on our heads, construction is going to shut down the stadium during our graduation.

Latest comment by Anonymous: Where are the parent's protests? Why does each graduate need 8 guests anyway? Crisler worked well years ago. The less guests that come, the better view for those that do!
Student Protestors Let Mary Sue Know What's Up
Go look before it gets taken down/washed away...and yell things at  her windows.

I was just sent these pictures depicting the protest that has begun mere hours after the University said they were moving our graduation to Eastern. Some concerned students made some signs and stuck them on Mary Sue's front por

BREAKING NEWS: Diag "Unfeasible," Big House Graduation "Probable"

So, apparently the person we should really be blaming is Art Urban. He said that he hates our #1 in the nation Hockey Team. Filthy Bastard.
Graduation on Diag Surprisingly Not a Disaster
They didn't get the Big House, but 30,000 people (mostly hysterical, beaming moms with cameras) showed up to cheer on Michigan's newly minted graduates.  Johnny Quest has the lowdown on Bob Woodruff and more.
Latest comment by tradina: I have to agree...I thought graduation was actually pretty great. Obviously, the Big House is very special to all of us, but the Diag transformation was amazing.

Bob Woodruff is no Bill Clinton or Nelson Mandela (MSU's Speaker), but he was still pretty good and Andy Ramos was amazing!
When Kappas Cry: The Fight for Graduation Gets Attention
Good work Kappa girl, it worked for Hilary, it can work for us.

UPDATE: The Damning E-mail
Nope.

I  know a lot of people (including myself) didn't get the e-mail from the university explaining all this Eastern graduation/stadium renovation bullshit, so here it is in it's entirety:
