*Live Report at 6:00 a.m.*

6:13 a.m. Strange noises coming from Jonas Clark, students advised by Jack Foley to ignore.

11:32 a.m. Tremors felt across campus, Foley not available to leave a comment

5:24 p.m. Millions of Locusts seen flying out of Jonas Clark

5:30 p.m. DEAR GOD THEY’RE EVERYWHERE!!!! SAVE YOURSELVES!!!!!! IT’S THE SECOND COMING RUN RUNNNNNN

*Feed Lost at 5:45 p.m.*

This Sunday at 5:24 p.m., President David Angel was seen throwing open the windows of Jonas Clark Hall and releasing the brood of locusts that he has been raising for the past nine years.

“Finally, my children will be able to feed and sustain life on this barren land,” screamed Angel with arms outstretched towards the black sky.

Millions of locusts poured out of the clock on the building’s face, sending bystanders into a frenzied panic. Clark students were suddenly swamped by the overwhelming death cloud that enveloped the campus in darkness: “The sun is gone, the sun is gone!” lamented student Sara Judkins (‘22), who moments later was carried off by hundreds of Angel’s locust babies. Like the plague of Egypt, David Angel sits aloof atop Jonas Clark like a lizard god-pharaoh, tending to his flock. “Well, at least: we can get our funding back!” laughed Editor-in-Chief Paul Dante Frissora before disappearing into the cloud with what seemed to be money looted from The Bistro’s cash register. Just another lazy Sunday at Clark University.

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.."
