Hey, you! Are you feeling particularly blue on this cold winter’s day?

You are? Well, how about that! It just so happens that we have the perfect thing for you. What are the chances?

Come snuggle with us & our favorite record on Thurs, Fri, and Sat for The Drowsy Chaperone!

[LCDS Theatre Company @lcdstheatre]

Get ready to be transported to the 1920s, where all the world was a party -- for the wealthy, anyways -- in our production of the satirical musical "The Drowsy Chaperone!" (An ironic title, because this show is so awesome that there's no way it will make you drowsy. Tee hee.)

As we put Issue 6 together, we're looking for student or faculty reactions to the sexual harassment special published a few weeks ago. If you'd like to voice an opinion, please share it! We're always open to guest contributors. Below, Issue 5's cover.

In other news, media layoff bloodbath continued this week at Vice. 10% of workforce is being laid off, and Vice’s Friday night specials — a particular favorite of this newspaper — have not been renewed by HBO. Our hearts go out to all of the journalists & staff affected.

Current labs are ~90 minutes long and occur once a week. Unclear how labs will he consolidated into new yellow blocks.
“The kinks will be worked out during the trial period in April,” per Mrs. Trout and Mrs. Schmalhofer.

A draft of the new schedule was revealed at Morning Meeting today. The schedule is slated for trial in early April — students will experience a full 8-day cycle.

[LCDS Fourth Estate @LCDSFourth]

Break will be 15 minutes plus a new 40-minute block (yellow) devoted to Morning Meeting, office hours, and “community” time (unclear what community will exactly entail). Labs will take place during yellow block; arts classes will be absorbed into the 75-minute core blocks.

Curious.

[Axios @axios]

Rep. Rashida Tlaib's profanity about impeaching President Trump received five times more coverage on cable news than Rep. Steve King's questioning of why white supremacy is considered offensive.

We’re a week away from our next publication. Lots of great pieces in here. Our planned feature story, “On Harassment,” is over 2,500 words. Also included: student spotlights and another satire from Zach Liss and Jonah. Are you excited? We’re excited.

INCREDIBLE DAY TO BE TOO POOR TO OWN STOCKS

Any 25-year-olds out there who make $100,000 and only pay $20 for Internet (and nothing for student loans, apparently?), please let The Fourth Estate know what you're doing and how we can get in on the action.

Chilling New York Times report about location data mining. Location-tracking affects students too, especially as technology takes on a greater role in the classroom. Your phone’s location data reveals a startling amount of info to advertisers: https://t.co/J4Ila0mEoA

We completely agree. Reminded of McKayla F.’s article last year on attendance at women’s games. Equal support is very important.

[Jeff Reinhart LNP @JeffReinhart77]

Here’s my annual challenge to all the student sections out there: How about you have theme nights at some girls games this season. They play too. And would love your support. #LLsports #PaGirlsHoops

Our hearts go out to the families of Jack Nicholson and Meghan Keeney, two students who were killed in a car crash outside of Warwick High School on Friday afternooon. We encourage all students + faculty to wear red and black tomorrow to support the community after this tragedy.
