AN NU INSTITUTIONThe closest watering hole to campus will be serving its last Coors before the junior class peaces out, according to NU alum and Hundo manager Danny Gornetzki. And you can thank the NU powers that be for the upcoming end of a Wildcat institution. A year and a half ago, NU bought the entire 1800 Sherman building, Gornetzki says. “Northwestern intends to make the building strictly administrative at the end of everyone’s current lease. They’re not planning to renew any of them. Hundo’s lease ends in April 2010, so unless something changes in the next year or so, we’ll be closing then,” he says.As the situation currently stands, Gornetzki doesn’t foresee a change in Northwestern’s plans. “It’s disappointing to see the end of a local business like Hundo,” Gornetzki says. “It’s been around a while and it’s unfortunate for it to end like that, in NU’s hands.” The bar’s upstairs neighbors, including doctors and dentists, will also be booted out of the complex come spring 2010. “I don’t know if Hundo would relocate, but my partners and I have been looking into opening a new sports bar in town,” Gornetzki says. Before that idea came up, Gornetzki and his Hundo co-owners contemplated opening a New York-style pizza place. “It would be open until three or four in the morning,” Gornetzki says. “So it’d be great for kinds coming in drunk from the bars, and for all the stoners at this school.”Good thing we Weekly editors will all be gone before anyone will miss Hundo.NU ROYALTYThe official colors of Northwestern used to be purple and gold until, in 1892, a committee decided that two was more than most students could remember. So, they “reduced the official color to just royal purple, apparently in emulation of the custom adopted at various of the prestigious Eastern universities,” according to a memo by university archivist Patrick M. Quinn. This ain’t no Harvard and we are not royalty; our color is about as stately as we get. Right? Wrong. Did you know that we have a king, queen and court? Yeah, we didn’t either. We thought Homecoming was something you did in high school or, in college, just about whooping Purdue and/or some other Big Ten school (we state this with such overconfidence because we know that, on most years, we are the ones on whom the can is opened). Apparently the theme for this year’s celebration was “Where in the World is Willie the Wildcat?” Our guess is he’s stuffed in the closet of some student with a fetish for furries. Something else you don’t know: What it’s like to live as royalty. Princess Isabel Richardson, a Communications sophomore, admits that life is pretty much the same as before she was crowned. One difference, though: “Now I only wear my hair in styles that can fit inside a tiara,” she says.HOEDOWN FROM HELLOn Friday, Theta threw down with a massive hayride-themed crush party at a venue of NU Greek lore: Arabian Knights Farms, better known as the barn in the boondocks (Willowbrook, Ill., if that means anything) where Phi Delt’s notorious costumed Phright Night party was held annually each Halloween until 2006. Still buzzed from Homecoming float festivities, partygoers held their Franzia-filled bladders for over an hour, save for more than a few fratty types who might have mistaken PBR cans for port-a-potties. Hoards of cowboys in plaid and Daisy Dukes hit the dance floor, likely figuring out whom to hit the hay with at the night’s end. But the KATs got more than they bargained for when two attendees hit rock bottom. One of their own sophomores and an older frat brother had to be rushed to the ER. (Could it have been from a little too much line dancing?) Questionable press for the prestigious house in any case. But considering their Nationals are purportedly still easing off last year’s probationary status, the consequences could be dire. Maybe they really are starting a revolution, as their controversial Che-emblazoned rush shirts claim. But if That’s Not Theta, what is?
