On April 5th, Clark Ambassador Jack Ianson (‘16) stated during a tour, “This is Red Square and it is exactly what it sounds like,” which resulted in an uproar in the admissions office.

Ianson was bringing a tour group of disgruntled high schoolers and nosy parents to the center of campus, Red Square. Rather than explaining that the square is not intended to emulate the location in Moscow of the same name, Ianson let out the biggest secret of the Clark student body.

During the tour Ianson commented, “I mean, come on, this is Clark.”

As every student learns during Week One, Clark University is a training ground for Marxist revolutionaries. The administration doesn’t advertise its student’s intent on smashing the capitalist establishment, for fear of losing federal grants.

Vice President Jack Foley told The Freudian Slip, “Because of Facebook, Twitter, and Wingdingz, Clark’s shame has been broadcast across the blogosphere and it is incredibly foreboding.”

Although every student is aware that Red Square is the hub for social justice demonstrations, solidarity vigils, and the farmer’s market, it has been a policy of Admissions to downplay the Lenin brown nosing that permeates all 50 acres of Clark’s campus.

The Dean of Students has placed Ianson under disciplinary probation for violating the campus policy known as “Snitches get Stiches”. His hearing will be on April 11th in the newly discovered “Razzo Hall”.

Hipster Quote of the Week:

The message at the end of “The Tortoise and the Hare” isn’t that ‘slow and steady wins the race’, but actually a well-remembered quote from the 1977 Disney classic “A New Hope”: “Great kid! Don’t get cocky”. Bullshit that the hare was gonna lose that race if he didn’t choose to stop for a nap and a snack and whatever else he did. Bullshit that the tortoise was going to catch up in any capacity if the hare didn’t slow down for him. Maybe that platitude makes sense, but definitely not in this situation.

 

A race is a sheer contest of speed. No other skills go into that. The tortoise and the hare aren’t making miniature wooden horses and getting judged on the craftsmanship of their products alongside their finish time; they are moving from one point to another. In no universe does slow and steady win that race. Slow and steady wins no races, except for races where the point is to go as slow as possible. Even in cases where slow and steady could be considered a possible alternative to fast, such as the aforementioned miniature-wooden-horse-making competition, someone who can do similar quality work at a much faster pace still wins that competition.

 

Slow and steady does not win the race. Not being too full of yourself does.."
