The quick and dirty about what's been going on around the Ancient Eight (and some other schools too).

Oh, Yale. We love how artsy you are—frankly, it’s downright endearing. According to The New York Times, this new program will introduce students to “projection engineering, image-creation software and motion graphics,” all for the sake of transforming them into “well-rounded theater professionals.”

On an unrelated note, Rumpus, a Yale tabloid, just put out their famous annual “Yale’s 50 Most Beautiful” list. IvyGate has all the deets for now, but don’t get too excited: FM’s “Fifteen Hottest Freshmen” is coming out soon enough, and you don’t have to hook up with anyone on staff to get on the list.

Oh, and one last thing about our friends in New Haven—who, by the way, are about to embark on a two-week spring break (!). Apparently, Bill Clinton will be speaking at Yale’s Class Day this spring. Maybe he’ll just use the same speech he gave on the same occasion at Harvard in 2007.

On the West coast, funny things are happening at Stanford. The campus’s weekly humor magazine, The Stanford Flipside, organized a fake activities fair this week, where interested students could sign up to join organizations like the nascent White Male Community Center (WMCC). We sometimes wish there were such things at Harvard, but then we remember that we already have Final Clubs.

At Princeton, The Daily Princetonian has done it again. Just yesterday, one columnist penned a piece in defense of the Bicker system, through which students attempt to join progressive, inclusive organizations called “eating clubs.” The article, titled “I got hosed and I still like Bicker,” draws some uncomfortable comparisons to the author’s ill-fated applications to Harvard and Yale: “Think about Bicker this way: I was rejected by Harvard and Yale but was accepted at Princeton,” he wrote. “Should I be humiliated that I was deemed unworthy of the color Crimson but was correctly identified as a true Tiger? Of course not!” Whatever you say. We’re here for you if you ever want to talk.
