1 day ago by O-Face and Ugly Betty, '08

The Hot List, the most controversial article of the year, is here. You love it, you hate, but either way, you read it. No one knows how long the GSB has been doing the Hot List, although in ancient times it was called the "Hottie Hot Tub List." This year we had record participation with almost 250 votes, which is at least 25 times the typical ChiBus readership and represents a massive proportion of the student body if one corrects for people who have no sense of humor.

Torch, Roosevelt University, IL

Dear Scorch,

So I went to the Illinois Institute of Technology's "Sausagefest 2008" on April 18 as advertised in this publication and I totally want my money back.
