You really want to take a class in the new Metcalf Auditorium, especially if you had a class in the old one, but you have no interest in CLPS. Or perhaps you have been trying to find an excuse to spend time in the Granoff Center. Or maybe you just really like Smitty B 106.
Whatever the case, you may have been frustrated that Banner will not let you search for classes by room. But it’s cool, we’ve got a solution for you!
All you have to do is check out this wonderful page on the Registrar’s website. It lists the classrooms for every course this semester. Then use the “find” feature on your web browser to find the classroom you’re looking for, and that will give you all the results. For example, searching for “Metcalf Chemical Laboratory AUD” — their name for Metcalf Auditorium — will show you that if CLPS just isn’t your thing, you can always take Bio 50 (Cell and Molecular Biology), Applied Math 65 (Essential Statistics), Soc 17 (The Family), or Soc 162 (Globalization and Social Conflict).
If studying for the Physics 3 final isn’t exactly what floats you boat, perhaps you should take a break by … watching physics lectures?
Walter Lewin is a professor of physics emeritus at MIT. He is known for (among other things) his introductory physics lectures that are all available on YouTube thanks to MIT OpenCourseWare.
If you pay attention, you will notice one neat trick of his that has fascinated many of his videos’ viewers: drawing dotted lines. Very, very quickly. Also, as an added bonus, it makes arguably the coolest sound ever! Thankfully, some enterprising person has decided to make a short mashup of Lewin’s best dotted lines. Enjoy.
Last night, masses of hungry students at the SciLi were fed at Pizza Nite, courtesy Campus Life and the University Library.
Tonight, the awesomeness repeats itself at the Rock at 9 pm. I was chatting with one of the librarians, and he mentioned that they order 90 pizzas for the SciLi’s Pizza Nite and 80 pizzas for the Rock’s. Last night, the pizza was almost all gone in a little over five minutes.
While everyone was waiting for the pizza, they were greeted with a surprise: a cappella caroling. Check out photos from last night after the jump. [Read more →]
Tonight at the SciLi and tomorrow at the Rock, the epic semesterly tradition know as “Pizza Nite” will take place at 9pm, according to Morning Mail. If you’ve never been, get ready.
Pizza Nite is probably one of the best free food events of the semester. First, there’s the anticipation. The crowds are waiting, growing larger and increasingly impatient. The pizza never arrives on time. Then, suddenly, the big moment arrives — library workers emerge with stacks of pizza boxes. The crowd goes nuts for the pizza, and you wonder if there will be any left when you get to the front of the line. Just then, 20 more boxes of pizza arrive, putting your fears to rest. As the pizza continues to disappear, another dozen boxes come along, then another dozen. In the end, something like a hundred pizzas are consumed in the span of a few minutes. (Then they bring out some cookies and fruit.) [Read more →]
The Blue Room dished up some awesome ice cream sundaes today after advertising for it all week via Twitter (we retweeted their Tuesday tweet!) and in this morning’s Morning Mail (yes, Morning Mail has useful things after all!).
Who knows what other finals surprises may pop up….
Made to order: a fresh Belgian waffle with cinnamon sugar, maple syrup, and whipped cream.
Everyone knows about the Blue Room’s Shanghai and Kabob & Curry specials, but many — including dedicated morning patrons — seem to be unaware of the breakfast specials that greet students starting off their (hopefully) productive days.
Every time I come to indulge, other students curiously look at what I have and ask about it, reacting with a mixture of surprise and excitement — kind of like their reactions to discovering Jo’s serves stuffed french toast and grilled cheese when I’ve gone to get those.
Back in September, I posted about the Monday night specials at Jo’s, which started with stuffed french toast. That was followed by baked potatoes. Now, alas, the last special of the semester has arrived — grilled cheese.
Last Monday was the opening day for this special, so I decided to check it out and report back to you, our faithful readers. (If you haven’t already noticed, we like reporting on food, and thus we like reporting on retail culinary guru Aaron Fitzsenry’s creations like this.)
Jo's is serving up grilled cheese, a classic.
For my first time, I decided to keep it relatively simple, getting a grilled cheese on wheat bread with cheddar, Swiss, and American cheeses, and a garlic and herb cream cheese spread.
But make no mistake — there are way more options than that. Baby, you can do whatever you like! More photos and info — including a special secret — after the jump. [Read more →]
