âPass the Gardettos,â you say? Is that what you want? Tell me, what IS a Gardetto? Is it the rye chips? Is it the teeny tiny crunchy bread sticks? Is it the unsalted yet delicious pretzels? No! A Gardetto is not any of those things! I have some news for you, bub! A Gardetto is not a food. It is not a snack. It is not a plural noun. It is a name. Do not tell me to pass you
By Foley Hartmann When I heard about Social Justice Week, I knew I had to make a difference! There is so much social injustice happening on campus: I see awkward, sad kids without friends all the time. So, first thing, I scooted over to Tech and invited all the computer science majors to an off-campus party. Itâs time they got some equality in the social scene on this fine campus. But I only invited the McCormick comp-sci majors. Iâm almost
By Professor Donald Nally, Northwestern Conducting and Ensembles As some of you may know, a minor fracas occurred last week in one of my ensembles when a Masters student refused to sing an arrangement of a Walt Whitman poem, as his âindependent researchâ had uncovered evidence that Walt Whitman was supposedly racist. This student even went so far as to file a complaint with the NAACP when I refused to let him cherry-pick the repertoire pieces he wanted to sing
By Alexander Timothy Rawlings III, the British exchange student living on the seventh floor of Plex I can’t believe this. I bloody can’t. A bloke who’s been the head coach of one of the most famous football (yes, real football, not that sodding joke of a sport that’s ripping off rugby) clubs in the world for TWENTY-SIX YEARS resigns and NOBODY in this country bloody notices? I mean, I’m pretty tolerant, so I understand that you yanks pay more attention
The Flipside would like to apologize for exposing the world to so many evils: ignorance, people who spread lies on the Internet, and even The Flipside. Look, The Flipside makes things up. People like the things we make up. For instance, we have received hundreds of Facebook likes on articles titled âClass of 2017 Holds Most Diverse Group of White People in NU Historyâ and âNew Sorority Pledge in Love With Her Sisters, Unsure of All Their Names.â Despite that
I just heard about this absolutely fabulous social house (itâs not the same as a restaurant, but I wonât expect you to know the difference) from Stefon called Found. Once he said that it had both fried chicken and caviar on the menu, I knew I would die if I didnât go there. So, this past weekend, my girlfriends and I decided to head over, and, let me tell you, it was the absolute best culinary experience Iâve had since
Guest contributor Morton Owen Schapiro argues that yes, raising tuition is an unfortunate necessity in todayâs economic climate, while Morty Schapiro counters that HELL YES, have you SEEN the prices for these FUCKING FLOWERS?!?
Having learned of the School of Education and Social Policyâs new course on the history and ethical dilemmas associated with philanthropic donations, the Northwestern Flipside would like to submit the following petition for the fund on our own behalf: Dear students currently engaged in the course âLearning Philanthropy and Engaging in the Study and Practice of Givingââ Weâre sorry. Weâre sorry we ever made fun of SESP. Itâs just that after our twelfth straight hour on the same Quantum Mechanics
Hey guys! Sorry, Iâm little hungover from the two handles of beer I had last night. I mean, that doesnât even compare to the time my mom bought me vodka. I had three shots! Shit got so crazy, I canât even tell you. (Except Iâm going to tell you.) So me and my bros were just chilling when my ârents were out to dinner, and we were getting kind of bored so I was like, “Yo, bros, letâs get schwasty.”
Dedicated to the worldâs proudest Dad WOW. This is so cool. This is the coolest ever. My daughter is the best ever. I wonder if sheâs having as much fun as I am? I wish I was standing up front with her so I could ask! (My wife made me stay in the back with her because during our tour of UCLA, I pushed three accepted engineering students out of the way so I could stand right behind the tour
