Mood, Music. Book the W Hotel's "Feel the Wuv" package and take a romantic time out with your significant other. O.K., the name is a bit cringe-worthy, but you get free bubbly and chocolates, a Jimmyjane Spin Me game (a dirty version of spin the bottle), feather tickler, "seduction sash" and a thoughtful 2 p.m. check-out.

After erecting a unique version of the Berlin wall during The Game on Saturday—and tearing it down with a missile evoking a phallus—members of the Yale Precision Marching Band have found themselves in administrative trouble. A Yale Daily News article reported yesterday that Director of Bands at Yale Thomas Duffy has suspended the band “from all activities and performances, effective as of this very moment” for its “completely inappropriate and highly offensive” use of props. The prop in question was a makeshift sheet-wall...
