Student Upset by Clark Club Corruption

In a recent interview with William Willard, ’19, it was revealed that some students are frustrated with how exclusive connection-making at Clark is. “It should be called Corrupt University,” he joked. Our interviewer failed to laugh.

“But seriously, it sucks. Like look over there!” At this point, he angrily pointed at a student sneaking up behind the head of the Student Activities Board and clipping his lanyard into their belt loop, “I can’t do that!” He pulled out his own lanyard, dismay in his eyes. “It had one of those stupid loops that take all of your nail polish off when you try to put a key on it. It looked really unprofessional next to the other student’s mini carabiner.”

His distress was obvious.

“And, the other day, I saw a student sew his snappy blazer onto David Angel’s suit! I mean, it’s unreal. I don’t have that kind of dexterity! I can barely knit and can’t even begin to purl.” The interview was interrupted to watch a soccer player braid her hair into Trish Cronin’s blonde locks. “Oh god, now she’s going to get extra free Gatorade from the trainer and her uniform will be slightly redder! This is outrageous!”

The interview was cut short, as it became very clear that Willard does not have enough connections to speak with the Freudian Slip.

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.."
