Trifecta Show spotlights summer performing groups

|

Just because it is Summer term does not mean there is a lack of entertainment groups on campus. The Trifecta Show on Wednesday night at Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity proved that student performance is well and alive during the summer by featuring three of the most popular summer groups on campus. At the Trifecta Show, the Dog Days of Summer performed hilarious improvisation sketches, the Summerphonics sang groovy a cappella arrangements and ShebaLITE threw down dirty hip-hop moves.

INTERNET MEME OF THE WEEK: Epic Rap-Battles of History

|

It's sophomore Summer a lot of us aren't trying too hard to be intellectually stimulated. Most of you would probably rather lie out on the Green than pick up a history book and actually learn something. But if you're looking to trick yourself into self-education (you are a student, after all), get on YouTube and watch a few installations of "Epic Rap Battles of History." These rap battles, the vision of YouTube user Nice Peter, pit two actors portraying renowned historical figures and celebrities against one another in a fast-paced battle of rhyming trash-talk.
