President Angel to The Scarlet: "No More Fake News!"

Last week President David Angel held a campus-wide forum to discuss recent administrative changes and budget allocations at Clark University.

President Angel commented on the departure of Mitch Kelley from the Office of Residential Life and Housing and the fuckton of money the University still plans to spend on International Gala. After his comments, Angel opened up the discussion to hear from both students and faculty.

Scarlet reporter Thomas Martin ('18) inquired about how the elimination of need-based financial aid might change the demographic makeup of the student body. Much to the surprise of Martin and the rest of the Clark community, Angel reacted violently. Amidst a display of projectile spitting and wildly waving his tiny, gentle lizard paws, Angel exclaimed, “No. No fake news at this press conference.”

Angel then turned to Freudian Slip reporter Molly Stern ('17). Stern asked the pressing question of whether or not pineapple will be a more frequent addition to the Higgins Dining Hall pizza station throughout spring semester. Angel replied, "Finally, a real news source I can respect..." Angel proceeded to pause for an uncomfortable amount of time, staring intently at Stern.

He then answered the question: "The short answer: no, where the fuck do you think we'd ever find the money for that?! The alternative answer: yes."

Members of the Clark community are disturbed by the President's recent behavior, and a small group of undergraduate students have already created a petition on Change.org to remove Angel from the administration. They suggest that one of the squirrels of Clark U replace Angel in the interim. Harry Brewer, Squirrels of Clark U Instagram Facilitator, comments, "Sure, the squirrels have no experience in education are are a little bit nuts, but we don't seem to have a choice."

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.."
