Random Rants
Students speak about what's on their minds. In 142 words or less, and you're invited! If you have a rant, e-mail it to rathodja@grinnell.edu. After all, complaining in a public forum is always more fun that doing it alone.
No points for you
Two points for the students who established and take part in the network of DVA/SAC trained campus advocates doing what they can so that we "are not alone" anymore. But no points for those who apparently want us to be. Every time I go into a bathroom on campus I see one of those stickers at least partially torn off. No. No points for you.
In fact, fuck you. But certainly not in any violent, sexual kind of way. More in that maybe if we didn't tear off advocates' stickers and all the Harris party themes weren't so offensive, at least we wouldn't be working against each other kind of way. I know people see through all the bullshit telling us somehow the kind of beer will be the life of the party and that objectification is cool and harmless."

Save the ravioli
In St. Louis, toasted ravioli is a staple of the cafeteria lunch. (Toasted ravioli is very like Grinnell's "fried ravioli," only better). In my grade school, we got toasted ravioli once a month, and everyone got exactly six. Even in high school, we received such paltry-seeming amounts. And every student would think, "If only I had one more ravioli, I would be happy."
Cleaning trays in Cowles, I see my childhood, in large amounts of ravioli, washed down the drain. It's heartbreaking. So next time you waste ravioli, remember all the hungry children in St. Louis who would love the freedom of ravioli that you have. And eat your ravioli.

Take responsibility
When stumbling about campus on Saturday night, I had to step around a broken pane of glass in the South Campus loggia. If you did this accidentally, exercise self governance and take responsibility. (My respect for you would definitely increase.) If you did this on purpose, you are an ASSHOLE and I hope you and everyone like you leave Grinnell and never return. Grow the fuck up.
