THAT GUY FROM CLASS DOESN’T ACTUALLY WANT TO JAM WITH YOU

PHILLIPS HALL—Sophomore Harrison McWharter, 20, does not actually want to jam with you.

McWharter, a political science major and Minneapolis native who has been playing the electric bass for six years, told you today that you and he “should jam some time.”

This incident is the latest in a string of dishonesty on the part of McWharter. Sources say that McWharter has told over sixteen people, “We should jam some time,” since arriving at the University in the fall of 2009. He has made good on only one of these jam offerings.

“Normally I wear my Zeppelin shirt to class every day for the first week of the semester,” said McWharter in a phone interview Wednesday. “People usually ask me if I play guitar when they see it, and I tell them guitar is for pussies.”

When asked why he doesn’t want to jam with you, McWharter said that it was mostly because of the text you sent him right after class, asking him how “into Dave” he is.

COLLEGE REPUBLICANS’ MEMBERSHIP SWELLS FOLLOWING ELECTION SEASON

IOWA CITY—Leaders from the university’s only conservative political group say they’re seeing record numbers at their weekly meetings.

“At the beginning of the year we only had three names on our e-mail list,” College Republicans President Sherry Torp said. “After the election in November, we now have ten.”

Republicans fared well across the country in 2010, winning several gubernatorial elections and making gains in the U.S. Congress.

Said University of Iowa political science professor Tom Bagel, “It’s fairly common to see a political movement attract followers after electoral wins, but for a political group’s numbers to triple in a few short months is unprecedented on this campus.”

At the time of reporting, at least four of the addresses on the College Republicans e-mail list were registered under Torp’s name.
