The Week That Was/This Week NU Students Were NOT

"Spring Awakening"

The Theatre and Interpretation Center held its opening performance of "Spring Awakening" Friday. The award-winning musical was reinterpreted by Northwestern alumnus and faculty member Geoff Button. The performance will run until Feb. 26 at the Ethel M. Barber Theater.

Diversity Roundtable

Diversity roundtable was held Sunday, led by Northwestern President Morton Schapiro and three other faculty administrators. Professors and students expressed their dissatisfaction, discussing how minority students feel uncomfortable by the administration's apparent indifference to issues of campus intolerance.

Northwestern Meme Page

Already spending too much time on Facebook? Steer clear from the newly-launched Northwestern Meme page. The page created by two McCormick freshmen gained more than 2,000 likes in less than 24 hours after its launch. The Facebook phenomenon of university-specific memes seem to be the newest form of Internet procrastination.

Men's Basketball

Men's basketball set fire to our purple pride Feb. 9 with their third win in a row. The team won their games against Nebraska, Illinois and Iowa. Although they lost last Sunday's game against Purdue and yesterday's against Indiana, hopefully the Cats will rebound and get back on their winning streak soon.

This Week, NU Students were NOT:

Sure what Nicki Minaj's Grammy performance was all about

Excited about the hours spent studying in the library for round two of midterms

Successfully avoiding the Northwestern Memes takeover  

Confused about the significance of Feb. 14

Finding a suitable replacement for The Keg of Evanston

Disappointed that the weather seems to be steadily improving
