From Tuesday's hot-off-the-presses, Aldermen-addled editions:
- The Devo duo report that the 14-year-old boy whose backyard buzzes with 12,000 bees will be allowed to keep the insects in his backyard. In a 5-4 decision, the Aldermen ignored residents who said their barefoot clover walks were now unsafe due to the possibility they might step on bees and voted to allow "hobbyist beekeeping."
- The duo also report that residents are freaking out over "secret negotiations" between the city and the university to move the seat of Evanston's government to a NU-owned parking lot. Um, guys, you reported on this last week.
- Junior campaigns to incorporate Scrabble into the fold of Big Ten sports. In other news, "completely not newsworthy" is worth 49 points. It's also a triple word score if you convince your eds to put it on the front page. (Sorry, Dan.)
- Today in Forum columnist Alec Davis: There's no need for textbooks; just "Wiki it." This does a lot to explain last week's screed about the impending downfall of American society. And, Alec, I can't tell you how glad I am that the internet did more for you as a 13-year-old than provide a free source of pornography.
