It’s a slippery slope from skulking around Spiritus to ordering home delivery. Good to know that events at the Faculty Club are about as classy as a party in a Keeney double.

3/14=3.14, duh. So if you’re not already eating pie and/or discusssing the ever-enduring relevance of everyone’s favorite mathematical constant, get to it. The Alef Beats are apparently having a pi-themed archsing, and we can only assume that all of campus will be utterly consumed by various other informal celebrations.

Also, did you know that in Pi Day is a government-recognized official day, thanks to non-binding house resolution 224, and that the facebook event for Pi Day 2015 (3.14.15!!) already has 135,468 guests? The world is truly a wonderful place.

The notion of hipsters may have only recently gained meme status, but Brown has been churning them out since 1764, long before the Rock’s stairs were even built.

In this new weekly feature, we bring you Brown hipsters through the ages. So sit back, enjoy your brunch, listen to this weekend classic and ponder lifc.

I live here, in the Urban Environmental Lab Living Space, because I care about the environment and I want you to know that about me. I chose to decorate with a Botticelli poster and an obscure film still because the surprising juxtaposition will inform you of my own personal complexities.

Rhode Island doctors are explaining why they’ve allowed their patients to obtain marijuana under the state’s medical marijuana law.  So far, 355 doctors have signed the necessary paperwork for their patients to procure marijuana-use cards.  The doctor who’s given the most people the ok: Dr. Vladislav Zayas, an East Providence neurologist who has approved medical marijuana use for 100 of his patients.

A likely collaboration between the Providence Teachers Union and education officials has put Providence “in the vanguard” when it comes to fixing failing schools.  Steve Smith, the president of the teachers union, and Providence Supt. Tom Brady will work together to make recommendations on how to change four of the worst schools.

A Johnson & Wales student was stabbed at 1:30 AM Friday when two men approached him on Washington Avenue.  The men asked for his money, and one stabbed him in the shoulder and leg.

Eat free or die trying.

LULU follows the rise and fall of one dangerous and doomed creature: the sexually educated but passive woman who will go by any name her lovers wish to call her. From presiding over high society Parisian balls to selling herself in London basement rooms, Lulu ruins those around her, and is ruined, for love. Donald Lyons called LULU a “symphony – or rather a cacophony – of deotic sexual rhetorics….among the supreme masterpieces of nineteenth-century theatre.” Director Spencer Golub calls LULU “very nasty.”  An Eyes Wide Shut for an earlier century’s turn, LULU is a sex tragedy – or comedy – about how basic need and desire are made base by social convention, bourgeois morality and the fantasy life of the mind. Smart, dark, beautiful, twisted, tragic, haunting – you will not forget LULU, or Lulu. For tickets, visit: www.brown.edu/tickets
