Colbert Still In Running For Naming Contest

Remember the movement to name the new science undergraduate student center in Ritenour after Stephen Colbert? It’s picking up momentum: S. Colbert is one of five names on the nomination list for online voting. Clever acronyms aside (in this case, it’s Science Center Of Learning: Bringing Educational Resources Together), it’s likely that the school will need an overwhelming landslide to justify naming a building after a fake pundit. So get out there and vote!

Gorman Abruptly Resigns

Head coach of the men’s soccer program Barry Gorman unexpectedly announced his resignation Monday. He leaves a legacy of 22 years of coaching and three Big Ten titles in his wake. Citing “personal reasons,” he has left the team to a nation-wide search for his successor.

“We expected Gorman to be there,” [rising Senior and Co-Captain Andres] Casais said of next season. “He was a father figure to us.”



Oof, that can’t feel good. The move isn’t completely out of the blue, as Gorman was periodically absent during the past few weeks without notice. But from all accounts, his intention to resign was only revealed yesterday. On the abandonment scale, this registers just slightly above “going to the store for some cigarettes and never coming back.”
