Old Dominion Booted Sigma Nu After Friday's Stunt

Not funny. That's what Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Va., told members of Sigma Nu on Monday when they suspended the fraternity for hanging lewd, offensive "welcome" signs targeting incoming freshman women. The signs, which were hung off a private, off-campus frat house on Friday during campus arrival for new students, featured slogans such as "Freshman daughter drop-off" and "Go ahead and drop off mom too." The university's president said the students involved could face discipline, while a spokesperson for the frat said "any fraternity member found to be responsible for this reprehensible display will be held accountable by the fraternity."

IndyCar Driver Justin Wilson Dead After Freak Accident

37-year-old IndyCar driver Wilson died on Monday at age 37 after being hit in the head with flying debris from a crash on Sunday at the ABC Supply 500 race. Wilson, a renowned safety advocate, was struck in the head by the nose cone of rookie driver Sage Karam's car. The married father of two young daughters (ages seven and five) is the first driver to die in a major U.S.-based racing series since Dan Wheldon in 2011. Wilson's younger brother and fellow driver, Stefan, posted a series of emotional tweets on Monday night.

Teenage Suicide Bomber Kills In Nigeria

Officials in the northeastern Nigerian city of Damaturu said a 14-year-old female suicide bomber detonated an explosive device strapped to her body early Tuesday (Aug. 25) morning, killing five people and wounding more than 30 at the entrance to a crowded bus station. At press time there was no claim of responsibility, but similar attacks by Islamist militant group Boko Haram using young women as suicide bombers have plagued the area in recent weeks and more than 1,000 people have been killed since President Muhammadu Buhari was elected in March on a pledge to wipe out the militants.

Quick Take 1: The "Serial" story continues. The attorney for Adnan Syed, the subject of the popular NPR podcast, said on Monday that he's uncovered new evidence that could undermine the cellphone data used by prosecutors to convict his client of murder 15 years ago. Attorney C. Justin Brown said a warning about the misleading nature of cell tower evidence was not "properly raised at trial" and the evidence should never have been admitted at trial.

Quick Take 2: It's only August, but you've probably noticed the Halloween aisle at your local Walgreen's getting stocked. Which means we've already got our first costume controversy of the season: the $74.99 Caitlin Jenner. The Jenner get-up (the "Unisex Call Me Caitlyn Costume") based on the famous Vanity Fair cover shot has inspired a Change.org petition requesting its recall because "to make a costume out of a marginalized identity reduces that person and community to a stereotype for privileged people to abuse."
