EDITORIAL: "Catcalls" (Fall '92)

To Jeff Blount, whose bid night eloquence was too little, too late. To University Council, for enacting a plan for photographing students that would never be permitted in the real world, where people have real rights. To those a cappella singing groups that demand scarce student funding to support the perk-filled lifestyle to which they've become accustomed. To the Student Activities Council, for giving those groups funding in the first place. To the pledges-to-be, whose bid night hooting confirmed nearly every negative fraternity stereotype. To Residential Living, for making it cheaper to live on Rittenhouse Square than on campus. To Jeff Lichtman, for a little too much consensus. To Vet School Professor Robert Whitlock, for plagiarizing a report about cow manure. And to the University committee, who sent a weak message to cheaters by allowing Whitlick to remain at the University. To the Franklin Field Spectaguards -- you still haven't told us what you did with the toast. To Theta Xi, see ya', see ya', hope you had a real good time. To President Sheldon Hackney for being stale, silent and aloof. To Penn Student Agencies, for a phone book that had everything but phone numbers. To Kite and Key, for being so naive. To the Philadelphia School District, for making it difficult for the University to find 125 Mayor's Scholarship candidates per year, even if it wanted to. To the Wharton School, for earning a "D" in teaching -- too bad the Business Week doesn't have a "pass/no credit" option either. To the Spring Fling planners for encouraging student input by limiting it. To the University Museum, for becoming a one-stop shop for priceless age-old artifacts. To Escort Service, for not getting student input before changing the system. To the weasel who stole that second day of fall break -- we miss it now more than ever.
