The Morning Wood is back and filled to the brim. The Commonwealth Honors College plans to secede from the University, while administrators plan an elaborate moat around Whitmore Administration Building this month for safety purposes. The Chancellor continues to exhibit strange behavior since binge-watching popular series House of Cards, including granting RAs and PMs just cause in their contracts. In popular news, the few remaining who use Twitter are witnessing a dramatic change in the interface with the removal of the platform’s “tweet” function, and men’s basketball coach Derek Kellogg officially signed the highest paid hair endorsement deal with L’Oreal.
