DESLER CAGE MATCHA&O is hosting a Winter Quarter poll on their website in order to keep bringing you, the masses, top-quality entertainment. Things you need to know: 1. If you take the poll, you can leave your e-mail and you will be entered into a drawing for VIP passes to their next event, 2. The Wu-Tang Clan is nowhere to be found and Jason Mraz is, and 3. In the last question, the one that follows several justifiable questions, you can vote on who would win in a 3-way cage match between Chuck Norris, Jack Bauer and Mary Desler. We hear that Mary Desler is going to take home the crown. OPEN BAR BOUNCINGJordan Simkovic and David Winograd, the seniors behind club-promoting venture 808, know how to host a party. So many students showed up at their most recent event last Friday that the bouncers had to turn people away; at least that’s what the club, Bon V, wants you to think. Bon V, whose website features a large gallery of drunk girls wearing the sorts of things that drunk girls wear, is self-defined as an “ultra lounge” that “covers two floors of a 7,500-square-foot space.” Sounds like they would have enough room to host an event. According to group of sorority sisters from NU who took refuge in the neighboring bar, Bon V has a habit of limiting the number of people whom it lets in during open bars. Once the open bar ended and the price of liquor shot up, there was suddenly enough room to let everybody in.NU BLOG ROUNDUP RumorRoyalty, a favorite subject in C&D, resurfaced for Rush, but has since been taken down again. With its removal, there has been a spike of activity on the NU section of Juicy Campus, the anonymous gossip site. On Juicy, you can discuss which professors and students are the hottest and the sexual preference of most people on campus, among other things. As the first wave of NU students have rolled back from studying abroad, multiple student blogs have reactivated after long periods of dormancy, including that of the former Gossip Desk editor.

Flannery guessed that the numbers for the last two years were around 40 and 20, respectively. Additionally, the president of the North Campus res college that sent the first girl of the year to a hospital – an international student – has been complaining about how much her peers in the college have been drinking lately. The numbers on the website for Evanston Fire & Life Safety Services support the claim that more students are going overboard on their weekend binge drinking … kind of. But they show that other Evanston residents must be doing the same thing, too. EMS calls hovered around 4,700 per year for almost a decade before shooting up to 5,400 last year.
