Student Swept Downriver Flowing from JSC to the UC

All was well at Clark University on Friday, October 21st… that is, until the rain came. Reports of flash flooding around Worcester appeared all over social media, and students everywhere were drenched from head to toe. Apart from the many trees that could have been stuck by lightning, the greatest threat posed to students were the river rapids that suddenly cropped up all over campus.

The Freudian Slip got an exclusive interview with Sonny Daiz ('19), who had a rather unfortunate encounter with one of these rivers.

“I had managed to stay dry, because I’d been napping in my room all day, avoiding my responsibilities,” Daiz told The Freudian Slip, “But around 7pm, I realized I was hungry and fresh out of ramen, so I decided to head down to the caf. As soon as I walked out of JSC, the water had me in its grasp. I choked and flailed as it swept me up and carried me past the library, down the hill, and slammed me up against the doors of the UC.”

Although very unpleasant-sounding, Daiz assured us that he was not injured, and that he got to the UC quicker than he would have if he had walked. His only regret? Not having a raft on hand to ride down on.

“Next time the river returns I’ll have to see what I can snag from the rowing team or the sailing club! It’s a great shortcut if you’re prepared!”
