Gordy Hulten, who ran IlliniPundit blog site has been selected for the Champaign City Council Unit 5. While it shared its usual amount of pedigree lunacy, Hulten's blog was one of the most unabashed sources of the C-U Citizenry; certainly more than any local publication. It has been an invaluable source as a result, and its services missed (especially for No. 3, who’s beat along with the Saluki Way included IP posting. No worry, something else will be found for him to blog about).

We wish Gordy good luck in the future, and we shall keep the link as an honorary display as one of our favorite blogs.

Thank you for the opportunity Mr. Hulten. Tali Ho.

Last week the Chronicle reported that Duke University would be selling the property where the lacrosse rape hoax occurred but didn’t back in 2006. What will happen? Will Victoria Peterson buy it so she can finally burn it down? Or will Mary Katherine Ham purchase it as some historical marker, marking where Mangum never got raped?


In all seriousness, however, the statement that made us sit up and wag our tails was the part that said:

"The University plans to sell the lacrosse house—located at 610 North Buchanan and the site of the 2006 lacrosse scandal—following the resolution of several remaining civil suits."

Resolution of several remaining suits? The only lawsuit outstanding that was resolved recently was the Pressler lawsuit, stemming from when he was slandered by the Flying Squirrel. It was our impressions that the Ekstrand Lawsuit and others were nowhere near close to being finished, given the amount at stake. Perhaps though, as Duke settled with Pressler to avoid the discovery process, Duke is planing on the same thing with the others, and this property sale is a cue?

Is there something that the Chronicle knows that we do not?
