It's Ok, I've Taken This Class 6 Times Before

Wesleyan University is attempting to crack down on students taking the same class multiple times. A new resolution will not allow students to take a class for credit more than four times. Apparently it's common for Wesleyan students to take a class "seven or eight" times and get an "A" every time. This whole thing seems a little unnecessary to me, and I think Wesleyan should be taking pride in the fact that many of their graduates will be proficient in ballroom dance and beginners ceramics.

Here's a heartwarming story about a courageous Dartmouth student who worked to singlehandedly bring back the chipwich. It's an uplifting tale about the undying bond between a man and his dessert.


Santa Clara University has approved a new policy that prohibits students from dating University employees. This is potentially problematic because "university employees" is a broad group that includes some students. This would prevent certain students who work at the school from dating any other students. Isn't already hard enough for the fat kid who does dishes in the cafeteria to get a date? This seems like a misguided policy that's really aimed at stopping teacher-student relationships, which as we've learned from "Animal House", are perfectly fine.
