Hacks: A Moustache and a Message

Perhaps in consideration of the recent cold weather, or maybe in conjunction with the burgeoning "Movember" movement, the Alchemist—the James Plensa sculpture in front of the Stratton Student Center—suddenly “grew” a mustache. No word yet on whether this is a permanent look, or just a weather-related necessity.

Directly across the street, Lobby 7 at 77 Mass Ave. was altered with a seemingly ambiguous banner reading “</novemberRule>.” A quick web investigation shows that shows that the November Rule essentially states, “freshmen should be taken care of, not taken advantage of, until November 1st.”  With November 1^st in our rear-view, this could be a not-so-subtle reminder to first-year students.
