Another Quickie
It would appear that Daryl Johnson, author of Right-Wing Resurgence, never took a Freshman Comp course at Mondoville. Jesse Walker explains at Reason.

An Awkward Moment
The Freshpeeps are beginning an assignment in which they are to write a proposal for a memorial of some disaster/atrocity/other unpleasantness — the usual things one memorializes. This is an assignment across all the Comp I sections. Heaven knows there’s … Continue reading
