All right, that's it. I'm just not opening my mail anymore. Everytime I do, it just makes me want to slam my head into the wall. When did Knox become a college full of FUCKING MORONS? First the GIN list thing, where people can't remove their heads from their asses enough to read the removal instructions, but prefer to blindly jump, like lemmings, one after the other, cluttering my mailbox with their idiocy.
But ten times worse than that is the NEW resolution up before Student Senate. Flush with their triumph over good sense and all notions of propriety, they have embarked upon a new quest. They want to change our diplomas and all other official documents so that they no longer read "In the year of our Lord." Obviously this is ethnocentric and favoring to a single religion, when here at Knox we're so open-minded that our brains have leaked out in greasy lumps.
Cause you know, this is the time to do it. Tuition is sky high, the endowment is rock-bottom, five faculty positions and a zillion staff positions have been cut. Certainly there is _nothing_ better that the Student Senate could do than PISS OFF THE ALUMNI! Cause you know that'll make them give a lot more money. Geez.
I was thinking about writing an article for Bladu or TKS about all this useless legislation, but now that I think about it, the alumni magazine is the way to go. Let former Knox students hear about the "mighty tide of revolution" going on today in the form of dweeby letters and idiot revisions when so many real issues go unaddressed or languish in committee. I'm sure they'd be interested to know. Especially the ones who were actually around in the 60s, which some of my peers have irritatingly persisted in comparing this to. If I were already an alumni, I'd start looking for another college to send my donations to. Or even better, keep the money and pretend it makes up for the mental anguish.
