I'm doomed
I don't see how I'm supposed to keep up this blog if The Daily Cal doesn't maintain a website. I'll have to start doing analysis of things or something.
Anyway, the news today:
David Kim pulled a gnaW (or reverse Wang):
A month into the fall semester, ASUC Senator David Kim, who was elected as an independent, announced his switch to the Student Action party Wednesday, giving the leading political party a slight plurality in the senate.
The first term senator's switch cuts the number of independent senators to two and bumps the number of Student Action senators from eight to nine.
Let's see. If the switch gave his party the plurality, then it used to be 8-8. So now there are 8 CalSERVErs, 9 Student Actors, and 2 independents. And, if I remember how to count to 20, 1 mystery senator. Who is this mystery senator? An alien? A spritual entity present yet not quite present? Is its absence itself what is present? Nobody knows. Except The Daily Cal.
Vegetarians have it tough.
Yet vegetarians and vegans say there is still room for improvement. Many vegetarians and vegans are dissatisfied with Cal Dining's treatment of vegetarian options. Junior Kerry McNaughton, a vegetarian, said that at Unit 1's dining complex, Crossroads, her only options were soy meat and veggie burgers and the occasional bowl of cereal. She once picked up a hamburger that had been mistaenly placed among the veggie burgers, but stopped herself before she began to eat.
Ah, where to begin. First, I suppose I should point out that Crossroads is not Unit 1's dining complex. At the very least, it's also Unit 2's, and folks from other places often go to it as well. "The occasional bowl of cereal" is, in fact, not an occasional option, despite what is suggested by the sentence it appears in. Crossroads is one of the most variety-free locations to eat at, which means that the cereal is always an option, and often the most reliable one. Finally, how dumb do you have to be to pay so little attention to your food before you start to eat it?
Lastly, what question do you ask a firefighter returning from Mississippi?
Does anyone have an idea how much of the town was still there when the wave came and washed everything away?
