BYO ROYGBIV
 
Alright, Owls, here’s the 411: Today’s the start of NCOW (not to be confused with NCOD). Which means it’s time to wear some ROYGBIV in honor of the LGBTQIA+! Aaaand it’s time you get your acronyms down. Translation: It’s National Coming Out Week, which Temple celebrates every year to quintuple the happiness and pride that is National Coming Out Day. So throw on some rainbow, love that beautiful thing called love and start the party with a campus drag show tonight. Then keep the celebration going, cause NCOY has a nice ring to it.

    Celebrate all year    
    Celebrate this week

What’s behind this fence?
 
As some people say, when one door closes, another one opens! And as Nutshell says, behind every fence is, well, something! We asked you to guess what’s behind this particular fence at 15th Street and Montgomery Avenue and some of you aced it. Some of you did not. We also learned that one of you really likes, um, juice. Anyway, learn what’s behind the fence.

Recondite (adj): Beyond ordinary knowledge; little known or obscure. As in, “After Nutshell arrived in Owls’ inboxes, what lurked behind the tall fence was no longer recondite.”
