"Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of cancer"

That has been spraypainted on a wall next to the alumni center for weeks now. I have heard several interpretations of it. My own interpretation is that it is a statement about higher education. It criticizes the wreckless desire for knowlege that in many cases will never be applied. Someone who failed out of school probably wrote it.

Others have told me that because it is right next to the business school, that it is a statement about corporate growth and neo-colonialism. I could see that.

Also, people think it might be about the University's seemingly endless mission of expansion and construction. Under current plans, the University will be under some form of construction for approximately the next 30 years.

Well, regardless of those theories, it is maybe my new favorite quote.

My bathroom smells like somebody crapped a dead animal and left it in there. Breese and I are sure that it was one of our suitemates. I hope the cleaning lady comes soon.


I had something to say about the Royal Tenenbaums, which I am watching at this moment, but now I can't remember. It's great though. I'll say that.
