SPREE DAY ’75: STILL SPREEING

Early Monday evening on October 11th, 2015, University Police received a serious noise complaint from two first-year students who had confused the third floor for the fifth floor in Goddard Library. Staff advised the two students that noise was, in fact, widely considered acceptable on the third floor. However, after continued complaints, University Police was prompted to discover three Clarkies from the Class of ’75 loitering in the stairwells.

Upon questioning, one of the alumni, Barbara Simon (‘78) informed us that ‘Spree Day of 1975’ is still in full swing, “We’re on campus every hour. We can’t stop spreeing.”

Copious amounts of Rolling Rock cans, face paint, and vintage records were discovered stored in a small storage space locked behind a short black door, located in the stairwell between the second and third floor of the library. Simon commented, “Just live spree or die, you know? I got that quote as a stick and poke tattoo back in ‘75 and I’ve lived by it ever since.”

Further knowledge about Spree Day ‘75’s mysterious time frame is still lacking. University Police requests that any students with information regarding any Clark affiliates- assumed to be faculty in their sixties spotted gallivanting around campus in sleeveless tops or high-waisted shorts despite the cold- to contact them immediately at (508) 793-7575.

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.."
