Penn Students Create, Misspell Frat Jacket
Was their first choice domain name already taken? Did they think no one would notice? Were Caroline and Melissa at a frat party when they named their company? Does Penn teach spelling?

AROUND THE IVIES: Deep Conference Kicks Off Conference Play
Though the drama may not be as high yet in the early stages of this year’s Ivy season, the high quality of play in the Ancient Eight makes up for it.
AROUND THE IVIES: For Football, It All Comes Down to This
For Harvard, which is in sole possession of second place in the Ivy League standings, a Big Green win coupled with a Crimson victory on Saturday will mean a share of the championship.

Ivy League Title Still Up for Grabs
Given that, it’s hard for me to even call Saturday’s contest a game. It’s even harder for me to get excited about covering it.
Stanford Students Swap Secretions
It appears that Stanford students are bad at kissing. At least bad at kissing without infecting the entire student body in the process. Yes, it seems that germs are running rampant over on the West Coast, where the Stanford tradition of "Full Moon on the Quad" (imagine Incest Fest for the whole school) has exposed undergraduates to the risk of campus-wide flu and mononucleosis epidemics. Smh, Stanford.
Harvard Still in the Hunt for the Ivy League Title
With the departure of Princeton, will the curse lift?
Grade Deflation Examined at Princeton, Frat Emails Made Public at Dartmouth
The quick and dirty about what's been going on around the Ancient Eight. Princeton is notorious for its grade deflation policy, but that may be up for a change—Princeton’s president, Christopher L. Eisgruber, has convened a faculty committee to review the policy, the Daily Princetonian reports. Students won’t sit on the committee, according to the Prince. (Apparently, reviewing a policy governing how students are graded doesn’t require students doing the reviewing.)
Yalies Mistake Laundry Machines for Toilets
In what Yalies have termed the “Poopgate” scandal, unknown persons have allegedly been defecating and urinating in the laundry machines of Yale’s dormitories. While one might guess that the University would have the capacity to handle the matter swiftly, several weeks after the original incident there is at least one rumored suspect still on the loose. The disgusting trend started in Saybrook, one of Yale’s residential colleges.
'Disgusting Things' and Disappearing Squirrels at Yale, Free Condoms at Penn
The quick and dirty about what's been going on around the Ancient Eight. With class back up and running in the Ivy League, there's plenty of news—and plenty of gossip. In fact, Yale administrators themselves may be feeding the gossip with their vague references to apparently unsavory events. According to the Yale Daily News's Cross Campus Blog, a recent email from Saybrook College's Master to residents of the College referenced "weird, creepy and (frankly) disgusting things" that had been happening in the laundry room of late. While he didn't specify just what these disgusting things were, he wrote, "I can't imagine why someone would do those things, but it has got to stop." Yalies, you disgust us.
