Student body demands David Angel release his long form birth certificate if he intends to remain pre

The Birther movement may have come to an end, but concerned students at Clark University have started an effort to revitalize it.. The student body has finally begun to question their President David Angel, and where his loyalties really lie. “Are we even sure that President Angel is from here?” said radio host Alexis Jones (‘18). “We need to make Clark great again, we’re not winning anymore, we are losing our jobs like babies, WPI is taking our jobs, bigly!” Trumple Donalds (‘17) added. “Hillary Clinton may have started the birther movement, but the Clark community finished it.” Hurry Limbaugh (‘20) added.

Some have speculated David Angel’s true place of origin to be: Kenya, the Lizard planet: Clintonia, a generic egg, or even the United Kingdom. A recently formed campus club, The Student Patriots, has organized a protest in which dozens of gallons of cafeteria iced tea will be poured into Crystal Pond in the park across Main Street. “We are tired by being ruled oppressively by the British, no tuition without representation,” said leader of the Student Patriots, Trumple Donalds. More details about the protest should come this week.

This has brought about the surfacing of an even more pressing issue, the title of ‘President’. Can this term be used in the case of an official who is not democratically elected? Should Clark hold a democratic election to decide our own president? If so would Donald Trump run for it? These are the questions Clarkies everywhere are begging to be addressed.

David Angel has yet to comment on this rising controversy, which has done nothing but raise suspicion among the Student Patriots. Ultimately, this new wave of birtherism threatening our very own David Angel has left but one question in the minds of students everywhere, “Does a college president actually have to be American to be good at his job?”

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.."
