The Grape
The Grape bills itself as "Oberlin's Alternative Student Newspaper."
One of the two main student newspapers, the Grape began in the 1990's as a forum for feature-length articles and political commentary. Since then its focus has changed to that of a more traditional alt-weekly, including extensive coverage of the arts and popular music. It is perhaps most infamous for its "Bad Habits" section, which features reviews of pornography, essays on drug use, and mostly-nude centerfolds starring current students. It prints every other Saturday and has a friendly rivalry with the Review.
The office of the Grape is located in Burton's basement, on the west side (exactly opposite the Review's office).

THE HOTTEST OBERLIN STUDENTS EDIT THE GRAPE.
The Grape- What all them spiffy porn-obsessed folks who don't take enough real classes do with their spare time. Nothing says serious journalism quite like porno reviews and camera-phone pictures of drunk, unsuspecting freshmen. --Jwisser 20:35, 10 September 2006 (EDT)
The Grape is the greatest newspaper ever. Articles are frequently about how to get sex, sexual techniques, drugs, parties, and fascinating Oberlin urban legends and rumours. The only thing that the Review has that is better than the Grape is the Security Review Notebook (always fun when your friends appear in it), although it should be noted that the Grape's Police Blotter has featured such town-police exploits as the citation of a composition professor for pot possession and a "jealous brawl" at the Quick & Delicious. The photography in the Grape is unfortunately not the greatest. --216.15.63.7 (7 Aug 2005)
I was brainwashed against the Grape by a jealous Review writer at the beginning of my freshman year. Upon reading them, though, I realized that the Review was just boring. Adcjordan 22:44, 12 February 2007 (EST)
