Dear Mr. Corey-Boulet:

Please. We're begging you. Update browndailyherald.com. We don't live in Providence. Brown Orientation starts today, and we don't have a stoner's clue what's happening up there. This, while funny and admirably ahead of schedule, was not enough. Brown's new web site scares us. All we have to go on is these deans' boring letter to new students, and while we haven't actually read the whole thing (something about "developing Advising Partnerships" and "how to live and learn as individuals while respecting others") we're pretty sure it doesn't include the word "shitfaced" at any point, so it can't be too relevant.

All those thousands of Brown-nosers pouring into Providence ... us, sitting here in the dark ... Have a heart, Mr. Corey-Boulet. Update your goddamn newspaper from July 17th.

Beseechingly,
IvyGate

    They are probably too busy smoking a bowl. At least the Herald’s site looks presentable…unlike whatever the kids up in Ithaca are doing. Aren’t those Cornell Engineers supposed to be good with those new computer things?

    Chill out. The Brown Daily Herald onely publishes on days when classes are in session (plus one summer update). Classes don’t actually start until Wednesday. So don’t get your panties in a bunch.

    After reading your letter, I decided to publish a newspaper today. I’m a sucker for open humanitarian pleas. Check out http://www.browndailyherald.com.

    Cheers,

    apparently collegepublisher is an excuse for a shitty website, and the kids at spectator weren’t just talking out their asses afterall.
