<li><b> Foisie Innovation Studio</b></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bad mouth it all you want- the space age- polymer recliners and open floor plan do wonders for the love seat. Spend a 2 hour lecture in Foisie and leave as fresh and breezy as you came in. </span></p>
<ol start="6">
<li><b> Salisbury Labs</b></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In addition to its calming greenhouse roof, Salisbury labs is also home to the WPI humanities &amp; arts program. There is nothing to fear here, no sweating required. </span></p>
<ol start="5">
<li><b> Flupper</b></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One missed step and it’s all over. The sharp 105 degree incline going up the Flupper steps is enough to make even Indiana Jones sweat. Not to mention, if you aren’t careful,  the soft cushy chairs can leave your pants looking like the reflection pool. </span></p>
<ol start="4">
<li><b> Flower (Fuller Lower for you uncultured fucks)</b></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">All of the logistical problems of Flupper in a compact, personal package. In Flower you can actually see your Professor’s chest hair. Way too close for comfort. </span></p>
<ol start="3">
<li><b> Olin Hall</b></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Remember that physics class you took here freshman year? Wasn’t that fun? See- you’re sweating now just thinking about it.</span></p>
<ol start="2">
<li><b> Atwater Kent </b></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Quite possibly the most popular hall on campus, AK’s high ranking is the result of a self-selecting sweaty kid pool. Home to the ECE and RBE programs, AK’s course material alone is enough to make you perspire.</span></p>
<ol>
<li><b> Stratton Hall</b></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Class on the third floor and no elevator in sight? You might as well have class in a nuclear reactor. That’s on fire. In a volcano. On the sun.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Recently The Institute has received multiple reports of mass confusion at the WPI Campus Event: Plant Parenthood. While the majority of students were extremely excited to add a succulent or house plant to their collection, there were some that were taken aback by the lack of family planning resources or condoms.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Passionate botanist Meghan, who was volunteering at the event, told the Institute, “Honestly I was really excited to talk to people about growing plants, I definitely wasn’t expecting people to show up after blowing pants. Another student continued by saying, “There’s a yearning to connect with the earth, going in and seeing green things makes you feel better on a primal level.” Sources at the event though say three underclassmen worrying about their ‘fertile soil” were overheard demanding free condoms.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I told him to wrap his twig and berries”, said one confused attendee, “&#8230; but I got stuck in his penis fly trap.” Later, the attendee frantically searched for ways to prevent the fruit of the womb, but in all the wrong places. “Orchids? I thought you said ‘or-kid!”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Meghan added to her previous statements, “I feel like we need to get to the root of the problem here. The title really does plant seeds of doubt in the minds of students, but the pun is so clever that we aren’t changing it. Kids who roll in asking for free shit have to make like a tree and leaf.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Like many of the plants in Plant Parenthood, birth control has a stigma. So don’t be a pansy and figure it out, grow up, and wrap it before you sap it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you’d like to become a proud parent: </span><a href="https://www.wpi.edu/news/plant-parent"><b>https://www.wpi.edu/news/plant-parent</b></a></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But in case you do encounter a wayward nut and parenthood isn’t for you:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Planned Parenthood </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">470 Pleasant St, </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Worcester, MA 01609</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">WORCESTER, MA &#8211; At 9:47 AM on the morning of November 5th, 2017, 4 WPI students were seen groggily entering a silver Honda Civic, headed northbound on Park Ave. Eyewitnesses described one of the passengers as about 5’10, wearing dark sunglasses and looking ‘like he got too lit last night’. All four passengers were wearing gray sweatpants with the cryptic phrase, ”Fd nrT/V √-1” on the left leg, potentially signifying gang-related activities.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At 9:55 AM, the Honda Civic was again spotted in the empty drive through of the local Chick-fil-A, which opened only a few days before. The driver intermittently honked his horn, attempting to get the attention of the waitstaff, who were reportedly at home, enjoying their corporate-mandated “Day of The Lord.”</span></p>
<p>At 10:03 AM, one student exited the vehicle, and attempted to enter the restaurant through the locked front doors. Shortly after, the student spent several, confused minutes peering through the storefront windows, searching for some sign of life inside.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By 10:15 AM, all four gentlemen were seated on the curb in front of the building, openly weeping. One student, still in denial, began frantically asking Siri “why bad things happen to good people,” while the other three made a beeline for the nearest Popeye’s.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When asked about the incident, the student who was left behind whispered quietly, “All I wanted was some God d*mn nuggies.” </span></p>
<p>This tragedy strikes deep sorrow throughout the greater WPI community. The Institute hopes to raise awareness about the unfortunate hours of the new restaurant, in order to prevent further heartbreak.</p>
