Letter From the Editor

Dear New Friend,

I’d like to address a topic that’s been weighing on the heart strings of every Clarkie over the past 142 years of the University’s history. That topic is the resounding lack of a satirical publication by mechanized hole-dwelling Clarkies for non-mechanized hole-dwelling Clarkies. In the past the only publications at Clark were fact driven, size 12 Times New Roman bore-fests. However, I would like to declare that we here at The Freudian Slip have since corrected the problem.

I’m pleased to announce that your days of reading the same publication every week, learning “facts” and “news” are about to be over. Here at The Freudian Slip, our mission is to say the things that your average run-of-the-mill college publication can’t say. Here: if it can be said it will be said, and if it can’t be said we will say it anyway because fuck the system. Here, there are no rules, no limits, and no boundaries. While journalists tend to concern themselves with reporting “the truth”, “the facts” and “the word of David Angel himself,” we will be concerning ourselves with “the real”, “the chord progression from Bohemian Rhapsody” and “the B-A-N-A-N-A-S”.

I’d like to welcome you, and your mind, to our special little world. Literally, your entire mind. You see, from the very moment you have logged onto this website and begun to peruse our many articles written by our talented editorial team the mind control process has already begun. Within hours, all your independent cognitive processing will be gone, and you will be completely within our control. There will be no escape, no stopping us until we’ve climbed to the top of Jonas Clark and hung a banner of our own that not even a petition can take down. This school will be ours.

Forever yours,

Emily Denny

Editor-in-Chief of The Freudian Slip
