It's a sad time for College senior Brian Friedman. He got the shock of his life last week after finding out that Feb Club is not 31, not 30, but 28 days. “At first I assumed I must have miscounted,” said Friedman. “No matter which way I ran the numbers, it seems like there are really only 28 events.”

Friedman discovered a number of incongruities in his search. “It’s super weird because every few years or so there are 29 days of Feb Club. Like, what kind of system is in place to make these decisions?”

Friedman was especially disturbed to find that most other students knew the number of days in Feb Club and chose to be okay with it. “So everyone knew all along? And no one is doing anything about it? What about justice? We’re seniors, we should be setting a good example for those who will follow in our footsteps. Why can’t Feb Club be in March?”

These are the questions Friedman will be asking himself for the next month.
