NU in 60 Seconds: February 7

By Rena Behar

What you need to know to live your life today.

What to do:

  1. Continue the U-Pass crusade: Anyone who’s taken EDIT_301 will tell you how much joy a U-Pass can bring to your life. Fill out ASG’s Winter Undergraduate Budget Priorities Poll and, maybe if everyone tries hard enough, NU can embrace the bliss that is the U-Pass.
  2. Enjoy dystopic theater: The theater department presents Thrush, a play described by director Jacklyn Biskup as “imagin[ing] harsh and violent conditions in a future America. It imagines a country riddled with war and natural disaster, a landscape so bleak that one’s best chance for survival is to go it alone. Is this future America possible?” Playwright Cardid Svich will be at tonight’s production, with a talkback after the show. Just in case the cold and Super Tuesday weren’t making you morbid enough.
  3. Show some love: …as Notre Dame’s Ivy Wilson, specialist in 19th- and 20th- century American, African American, Caribbean, and Black Diasporic literatures, presents “”Love for the Race: Ethiopia and Trans-National Ideality in the Age of The New Negro” courtesy of the English department. Or if you don’t want to go outside, hug your roommate.

What to know:

  1. Super Bowl ads not all that effective: And no one likes the Life Water Thriller lizards.
  2. Don’t die: In case you hadn’t caught on yet, the weather? Bad. Class-cancelling bad, even if the archivists think we’re sissies. Bundle up.
  3. Students remain split over idea of dark side conversion: You haven’t sold all of us yet, IMC.
