Boston Police Accused Of Regularly Paying For Sex

I never really understood the whole prostitution thing. I mean really guys, paying for sex with a strange woman who more than likely has an STD? Seems like a huge waste of cash. You should probably start saving it and take one of those "pick up" artist classes, or for that matter, hire a Boston...

Costume Showdown

Not bad.  At first I thought the Wildcat was dressed as Superman, but when I saw the horns I realized he was dressed as a biddie.  I'd put it dead in the middle, better than the college student/hippie and Easter bunny, and behind the clown and your reigning champion, Snookiecat.  ...

Why So Serious

Amateur Hour

Is this what you call rectifying the situation UNH?  Because to me this looks like a step in the wrong direction, a step on the road towards Underachievingtown USA, population this statue.  There are barely enough props here to qualify as a costume.  People get more stuff put on...

Is This...Is This Snookie?

Because I'm having a hard time telling.  Someone half-assed Snookie here, and if Snookie is not one thing it is half-assed.  Or sober.  To whomever is responsible for this costume, a Bumpit and a leopard print whatever-it-is does not a Snookie make.  You gotta have smeared...

There's Hope For Gables Quiet Hours

There may be hope yet for a change in the quiet hours in The Gables. Earlier this semester, residents of the Gables were pretty upset after finding out that quiet hours have shifted earlier to begin at 10 p.m. during the week and midnight on Friday and Saturday. The changes were made after housing...

URI Custodian Found Dead in Wiley Hall

I was walking to Dunkin Donuts early this afternoon when an ambulance caused a little bit of havoc speeding down Upper College Road. I didn't think much of it until rumors started filling the air that it was something serious. A few hours later, I got word that a custodian, Cynthia Spencer, was...
