As a Northwestern student, the Alamo Bowl was heartbreaking. We haven’t won a bowl game since 1949 and last night we came this close against Missouri. The odds were against us but somehow we pulled it together, played well and didn’t choke like we usually do. We even made it into overtime.
Upon reflection, it’s easy to wonder, what if our kick...
You’ve just been accepted to one of the most prestigious business school’s in the country… just kidding! That’s pretty much the scenario facing 50 applicants to Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management this week.
The business school hopefuls were accidentally sent acceptance letters when in reality they were rejected.
When Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich gets involved in corruption he doesn’t just dabble in it, he goes full throttle.
Unfortunately for him, the good governor’s actions caught up with him today. Blagojevich was arrested this morning on charges of “conspiring to get financial benefits through his authority to appoint a U.S. senator to fill th...
In the quest to find missing student Trevor Boehm, a sad development occurred yesterday. A man’s body was found in Lake Michigan Sunday morning, but it has not yet been positively identified.
It is believed that the body is probably that of Boehm, who disappeared more than a week ago. The Cook County Medical Examiner’s office is expected to ma...
Let me preface this post with the admission that I am not mature. As such, while looking for winter quarter classes, I stumbled upon this gem and couldn't help but laugh. It's a Gender Studies class (of course) and it's Gender Theory: Penetration/Penetrability.
And it's (sort of) what it sounds like. Take a look at the course description and d...
Campus police announced today that a Northwestern student has been missing since last Wednesday.
Trevor J. Boehm was reported missing when his parents came to the school for Parents’ Weekend this weekend and he couldn’t be found.
An alert on Northwestern’s website gives the details:
Trevor J. Boehm, 20, a freshman in the School of Communica...
Now that Obama has been elected president, he can move onto more important matters than campaigning. And that’s picking out a dog! He mentioned in his victory speech that he promised his daughters a new puppy either way, and now America is obsessed with the choice of the First Pooch.
Just a day after the election, North by Northwestern posted...
It’s been a rumor for a few weeks now, but today Obama actually came out and said that he was appointing Chicago Representative and Northwestern grad Rahm Emanuel to be his Chief of Staff. Emanuel has been in congress since 2002 and serves on the House Ways and Means Committee.
A very interesting fact about Rahm, his brother, Ari Emanuel is the...

Molly Beucher is a recent Northwestern graduate and an aspiring actress. Well, last night she took one small step toward that goal with some time on the small screen. Beucher was one of the unfortunate souls stopped for the Tonight Show’s Jaywalking segment. You know that never ends well.
Let’s just throw it out there that Beucher was an econo...
It's Halloween time, Northwestern! Midterms are over and no signs of snow yet. Is there a better reason to celebrate... especially when you can dress up like a stuffy presidential candidate and still get laid?! So get your Palin glasses and take some notes, cause we've come up with the ultimate guide to your weekend festivities.
Now you might ...
Last weekend was momentous for the hordes of mindless freshmen that have been resorting to drinking in their dorm or at SAE (ick!) ever since New Student Week.
Finally, themed frat parties!!! Not one... but two!!! And on the same day!!1! The Sig Ep Prep Party and ZBTahiti happened last Saturday, and even though they were both well-attended (re...
Matt Grevers sure was a busy guy this weekend. The Olympic swimmer and NU grad who took gold and silver medals in Beijing this summer was the Grand Marshall of the homecoming parade on Friday night.
But, of course, it's what he did afterwards that has got us all in an OTR-tizzy. According to a tipster, three sexy junior girls snuck into the You...
The worries of Wall Street have come to stalk us on Sheridan Road... kind of, according to an e-mail sent by President Bienen last night.
In this unstable (read: chaotic) financial situation, Northwestern, just like any other corporation... er, I mean... non-profit... has been forced to reevaluate its business plan... er, I mean... strategies ...
I love the teeny, tiny parts of our Northwestern experience that bring us right back to high school... the Allison dining hall, Death Cab for Cutie concerts and perhaps most ridiculous-- HOMECOMING ROYALTY.
Here at OTR we take this issue very seriously, and we know that this is a big campus, so all y'all might not even know any of the people r...
There’s little so amiable to college students as free stuff, but now the Bush Administration is cracking down on piracy laws, so say goodbye to Entourage Season Nine Hundred (or so it feels) and James Bond Quantum of Solace. You aren’t safe in your dorm room anymore if you’re frequenting LimeWire, and not only that, neither is your computer sinc...
Ever since RR graduated and went back to Los Angeles and left Rumor Royalty open to hackers, several new gossip blogs have sprung up trying to claim the throne he vacated.
This summer, Private Production Meeting caused quite a stir in the theatre community, but it quickly fizzled and hasn't been updated since school started. The blog focused m...
A few weeks ago a Kappa senior wrote an op-ed piece in The Daily (yeah, I know it's a bit late, but what? you think I read The Daily... daily?!) about how the sororitators of Panhel were forcing girls to show only their blandest selves during rush.
The sororitista column puts the HELL in Panhel (they mandated all recruitment counselors to stay...
Holy shit, what’s happening in the world of football? Some of the NCAA’s most disrespected teams are actually winning games.
Vanderbilt’s unexpected rise in the SEC has caused skepticism, optimism and complete and utter shock. Just this weekend, Vandy beat #13 ranked Auburn, leaving the Commodores undefeated... WTF?

More juicy dispatches from New York City.
A week ago, a group of NU alumni decided to hit up Pete Wentz's New York bar, Angels & Kings (has anyone been to the one in Chicago?). Apparently, the bar not only draws in former wildcats, but also Z-listers, including the cast of the new season of "The Real World: Brooklyn."
Here's what our source ...
