I tried to take cell-phone pics, but I was thwarted by packs of girls literally crying,” he reports, breathlessly. “People threw roses at him, took pictures, gasped. He smiled and then had to SPRINT into his trailer. He looked skinnier, paler — yet better! — in person.

Over at Third Avenue and Tenth Street, it appears that the TD Bank on the corner has taken it upon itself to offer a new facility for dorm parties this fall to us Violets.
That, or the School of Visual Arts, a school not connected to NYU, is playing a prank on its bigger (and better) NYC neighbor.
The building, seen in the picture below, and as observed on the School of Visual Arts’ website, is their newest dorm, which they describe on the site as “The 10th Street Residence.” The banners along the building have no explanation, and the guards inside the bank had no answer for why our school’s colors adorned their building.
This will probably all be settled before any of us get back in the fall, but it’s nice to know that even without students around, the NYU-NYC relationship is still as exciting and controversial as ever.
Update: This may be part of the filming of Step-Up 3D that has been taking place in the village these past few weeks. Drop a comment if you have any conspiracy theories or you’re a Tischie working at Disney this summer.

Though former WSN Editor in Chief Adam Playford graduated a couple weeks back, his dedication to snarkily defending print journalism on the college level has not wavered. Check out the “application” he emailed in below:
Dear Lily,
Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Adam Playford. I am a Gallatin student, and I am writing to apply to be NYULocal’s new sports editor.
I know you guys don’t currently have a sports section, but hear me out. I did some reporting and went to your about page, where it says that your goal is to deliver “all the discussion-worthy happenings in the school and city we call home.” I think your news site is really missing an opportunity to capture readership by not delivering unique, in-depth reporting on discussion-worthy sports happenings. For example, DID YOU KNOW that NYU has an ENTIRE TEAM of people who dance around and use swords on each other? HOW DID WSN MISS THAT STORY?? Idiots! Continue…
Monday, June 1, 2009 23:50 - by Lily QSad news from Dean Mary Schmidt Campbell:
With great sorrow, I wish to inform you of the death of John Lamensdorf, Class of 2009. John died Thursday night in a tragic accident while working on a student film project in Georgia. The accident is currently under investigation by local authorities. Another Tisch student is receiving treatment for injuries sustained in the accident. The School has dispatched a team of faculty and staff members to Georgia to help the other students involved in the project to return home.
John Lamensdorf received his BFA in film and television earlier this month, after submitting a superb advanced narrative film. He was widely known among members of our community for his searching intelligence, artistic integrity, and deep capacity for friendship. Our hearts go out in sympathy to John’s family and friends. When information about a funeral or a memorial service becomes available, I will share it with you.
In them meantime, I want to remind everyone that if you are feeling vulnerable, or would simply like to talk about your feelings, you may call the University’s Wellness Exchange at 212-443-9999 on a round-the-clock basis
Anyone with more information about the investigation contact: tips@nyulocal.com

Jasper County sheriff’s Lt. Jerry Robinson said Saturday that sent a charge through the wires the crew was working with, shocking one student who was airlifted to Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta.

If you make your way over to Google Maps, this is the wonderful visual you will encounter upon searching for the site of NYU Abu Dhabi. If this seems at all complicated, then you’re not getting the pattern. Just keep looking… There’s a pattern there, I promise…
What am I saying? It’s absurd nonsense. Hopefully they work this out before any American students make it over. I can hardly differentiate Spring and Prince Street—how in the world am I supposed to figure this out?!

According to CNN, a Senior State Department official is reporting that Sheikh Issa bin Zayed al Nahyan, the brother of the Crown Prince of the United Arab Emirates, has been detained and placed under house arrest. Last month, video was released that showed Sheikh Issa torturing a grain dealer.
The news comes after the Abu Dhabi government “unequivocally condemn[ed] the actions” and said they would “conduct a comprehensive review of the matter” last week.
Human Rights Watch, who earlier sent a letter to the UAE urging them to bring the Sheikh to justice, said the arrest was “reassuring,” but reiterated their call for “an independent body” to investigate the incident.
