Word on that RUGirl2000! That yearbook was a piece of shit. The Whim photo sucked the way it turned out, and whoever had the bright idea to Photoshop Rachel in should be maimed.  And what's up with creating a page devoted to a club, and then in the space for a picture, there's nothing there! If you can't have a damn picture, don't even bother making a page devoted to that club! What a rip!

argghhh!! I am SO fed up with the beehive yearbook, 1st it's late and then they put in the wrong picture of mE in the book!  In addition that was supposed to be MY senior yearbook.  Plus that was the ONLY yearbook that I ever bought from RU (Thank God).  Shame I didn't write for them, I probably could have done something about it besides apologize.  Can't believe that I do not get a refund.  Goddam them.

Please do not encourage Putz Money to respond.



We don't need any innovation around here. The status quo, or slightly  below, is what we are shooting for. I don't want to have to copy edit past the first paragraph. If our writer's start writing anything worth a wooden nickel, I will have to actually copy edit past the point readers ussually give up. My job has become so much easier since most readers stop reading after the the first sentence of Jeff Davis' self righteous flim flam.

Cha!  Hidy ho whimsters...  I'm still around, in my 2.0 electronic version, of course.



This one's for you rachel...  I was wondering (and pondering) if I can still write an article or two every once in a while.  I've talked to Jenn, and she says ...'sokay, lemmie see.  



So, since I am still moving on with things, (grad of '01, yay) but still seem to have plenty of free time, (read 5 books since I've been out), I thought it might be productive if I had something to do on the side.  



I have no idea if it's in the script... er constitution, but let me know and I'll submit something maybe next week.

Why did you do what you did?



Did you have the right to kill all those kids?



In your massacre your cause was lost.



Did you think it was worth the cost?



The children didn't have a choice.



Instead of killing you should have used your voice.



But now you gone.



And what's done is done.



I can't help feeling the children lost



Were not the only ones.

The Best Rum Cake Ever

1 or 2 quarts rum

1 cup butter

1 tablespoon sugar

2 large eggs

1 cup pecans, walnuts or almonds

1 cup dried fruit

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 cup brown sugar



Before you start, sample the rum to check for quality. Select a large mixing bowl, get the ingredients together, etc... 

Check the rum again -- it must be just right. To make sure it is of the highest quality, pour 1 cup of rum into a glass and drink it quickly. Repeat.

With an electric mixer beat 1 cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add one teaspoon of thugar and beat again.

Better check the rum to make thure it is of the highest quality -- have another cup. Open a shecond quart if neccshish... if neccshish-- if you're running low.

Add 2 large leggs, 2 cups fried druit and beat till high. If the fruit gets schtuck in the beaters, just pry it loose with a drewscriver.

Shample the rum again, checking for tonscisticy, consticstistsney, make sure it shtill tastes okay.

Sift 3 cups of pepper or salt -- it really doesn't matter a damn -- and shample the rum again.

Sift 1/2 pint of lemon juice, fold in chopped butter and strained nuts. Add brown thugar or whatever the hell color you can find.

Mixsh well. Grease oven and turn cake pan 350 degrees. I dunno why, itsnot my damned recipe. Pour the whole damn mess into the oven and bake at 60 degrees for 350 minutes.

Check rum again and go to bed.

Why do people always complain?  For crying out loud live with it.  If you don't like having to pay $50 for parking when living in the university apartments then move out.  You should have known what you were getting yourself into.  And don't think that just because you don't believe paying $50 is fair that its ok to make a fake parking pass.  The rules are the rules and you have no right to violate them.  Pay the darn $50 and move on.  You probably spend twice that much on things you don't even need.

The law caught up with me. I made a fake parking pass that was quite extrodinary. Unfortunatly it did not hold up to the damaging sun and I was caught. I also live in the university apartments, I didn't feel I should have to pay 50 bucks for a space that I wasn't guaranteed at an apartment complex that I pay rent for. One of my roomates who graduated in december gave me his parking pass but the university has informed me that this is against the rules because I didn't pay for it. The short arm of the law here at RU has punished me by making me pay a $100 ticket, a $50 fine, I am not to park on university grounds for 4 months(not including the summer), and I have to go to a class on the honor code. What have I learned? Make several parking passes and keep them in your glove compartment so the sun doesn't get you in trouble. I believe in high morals but I also know that the university is just trying to get more money out of me. I admit that I have commited a single honor code violation,I FABIRCATED a parking pass. The university parking services has committed several honor code violations. They have been DISHONEST about the number of parking spaces availible, they have CHEATED students out of money, and they have of taken advantage of the students vulnerability(which I am sure falls under the honor code somewhere). It is ethicaly wrong to sell more parking passes than number of spaces. If this happend to me at a movie theater, I wouldn't go back to it. Unfortunatly here at RU we have no choice but to bend over and take it in the ass. The administration does a great job of taking care of themselves but doesn't give a damn about thier customers, the students. Fuck the university and fuck parking services.

Who controls higher ed? Whenever politicans adress the subject, the speak to parents. Ever notice that? I've also noticed that politicans refer to college students as "children" as in "greater job opertunities for your children". I know for a fact that a small group of almuni have a much bigger say in what happens here than we the students do- mainly because they donate lots of money. It's like we are the products, the university is the factor, and the alumni and parents and state make up the corporation that finances the whole thing for a bottom line return.

It seems to me that women love the tactic of hiding when it comes to turning a guy down. You know, instead of saying up front that they are not intrested they would rather say they are busy or that they will call you. While this doesn't ussually bother me when most women do it, this one lately is really ripping me up. I am not sure if she really doesn't want anything to do with me or if she just thinks I am insincere and plan on hurting her. Maybe she just likes to play games, she has been accused of this before. I have tried being persistent, but she always answers with strange scilence that drives me crazy.

I saw the comment below about the UVA Online magazine, the Angle, so I surfed around.  I must say I think Whim is better, and not just because I'm a reader and on the staff, but the Angle does seem too much like CNN and the Washington Post's webpages.  There is feedback after articles, it's just a different format and it appears that not many readers are giving feedback.  I like the simplicity of Whim's format as opposed to the Angle where it seems like they try to cram something into every inch of space on the home page and it's just too busy for me.  The Angle also didn't seem as fun as Whim in my opinion.  As I looked at the staff page I didn't see anything like our staff page.  It was just a list of names and email addresses.  Guess they don't want you to get to know the staff.  And I too think Whim has heart, a huge heart.  We want our readers involved and I'm proud to be a part of this great staff, who are some of the greatest people I've met here at Radford.

In response to the poop complaints:  what about us dog owners who are responsible???  I have two dogs and when I walk them on campus or off, I bring a plastic baggy with me to pick up after them.  At my apartment my fiance and I pick up after our dogs regularly....but to our dismay, the other residents of the complex don't do the same and our bit of yard is subjected to flies, stench and cussing from when people step in the stuff (if you live in Scott's Run.....keep your dogs away from my yard!).  I agree with the idea of having a 'Poop Patrol' for on or off campus for those irresponsible dog owners.  I don't like the idea of a 'Poop Pass' for dogs because it penalizes people like me that are responsible dog owners.  Why not start a Poop Patrol (with the help of RUPD) that gives undercover students the authority to ticket a dog owner that does not properly dispose of their dog's wastes?  The students would work in shifts (like a work study job) and would also be able to ticket people when they're not working (if they're walking to the library and see Fido's owner ignore Fido's droppings for example).  The underlying point is this- you see someone ignore what their dog is doing, but you can't see what they're doing to that dog 24/7.  If someone is irresponsible enough to not pick up after their dog, how are they responsible enough to own one?

It appears to me there just copy ing you idea guys, Us here at Radford know better.  We know that you guys are orginal and have been around for 3.5 years. AS aposed to there poser of a magazine, ( whihc btw) doesn't have the immidiate feedback section like you've got.  Plus And this really gets me mad ( they are the poster child for the washington post.com ) Ithink that i give them more respect if they did it on their own - just look at this commentary in their About section-

New York City is a "public town", yet it has pooper scopper laws. Actually, I believe it would be fully legal to regulate what animals could be brought onto the grounds of the university, public or not. I think the poop pass idea is great. You buy a pass for the dog's collor at the RU police office once a year for $500. Police officers and student investigators (crim justice majors, who would even get a badge) observe campus occasionally and whenever a dog comes on campus without the poop pass, the owner gets a $15 ticket. If the owner does this more than lets say 8 times, his of her dog is impounded for 3 months. Could you even IMAGINE the revenue this would create for the university!?! Of course, disability dogs get an automatic free poop pass. I'm serious, some one take this to the good for nothing SGA. Let them do something besides build their resumes and move student money around. This is a reform that makes sense!

You can't really prevent people from bringing their dogs onto campus because Radford is a public university.  If we were a private school then maybe things would be different.  I really don't mind the dogs, I like seeing them run around.  I do feel that the owners should be a little considerate and make an effort to use a pooper scooper or something to clear any evidence that their dog was there.

Amen to the anti-dog sentiment. Sometimes I feel like part of the RU mentality is that if you have a big black mean dog, then you have a big dick. Maybe people buy these dog because they are insecure about their members. Of course, that doesn't explain the girls who proudly walk these poop machines. Perhaps they have big black dog dick envy. Anyway, I am tired of having to deal with crap (literaly) around campus. If these folks want to bring their dogs on our campus, I saw charge them dog tuiton. Something in the order of $500 for a poop permit. That will get things taken care of REAL fast.

All of the equipment in the world is no substitute for individual attention to fire safety.  Always evacuate the building when the alarm sounds.  No extension cords.  No candles.  No open flame of any kind.  No smoking in bed.  Smoking is the number one cause of fires on a college campus.  Do not tolerate the idiots who pull fire alarms.  Burn their butt before they burn yours by crying wolf.  Sprinklers are designed to protect property, not people.  Smoke alarms are the first line of defense for people.  Do not monkey witht he alarms in your room and do not remove the battery.  It takes everyone to make a building safe.  Do your part.  



Check carefully before you enter the hall during a fire alarm.  The hall may contain smoke and hot gas generated by the fire.  If your door is warm or hot, do not exit.  Call for help and place wet towels under your door.  Never jump from a window.  Most jumps result in death or injury and the people would have been safer in their room.  The door to res. hall rooms has at lease a two hour burn rate.  



If you exit the room in heavy smoke, crawl out the door using the lower 24 inches of the floor.  The smoke will be at the top of the hall.  Cooler air is at the floor level.  Know before hand your exit routes and know the number of doors you will pass on the way to the closest exit.  When crawling on the floor it will be hard to see, so plan ahead so you know how far you have to go.  



Always close your room door behind you.  If the fire spreads and your door is open you have provided additional fuel for the fire.  A res. hall room can burn in three min.  Temps. will reach 1500 degrees and then the fire can flash over to other areas very fast.  This is why your check before you open the door.  If there is an air starved fire outside your door and you open it you are crispy critter immediately.  This is probably what happened to the two guys at Seaton Hall.  They ran from their rooms into 1500 degree gas and fire and --dead!  



Follow the fire evacuation plans.  Check in with the Fire Marshall.  That way the Res. Life folks will not have to tell your folks, "oh, we don't know where he is."  He did not check in during the reporting period.  S/he may be with an off campus friend,  We are still checking.  Don't do that to parents.  If there is a real fire and Res. Life thinks there are still people in buildings, they can send a fireman in to check.  If we know where your are, we can avoid placing firemen in danger by sending them in to check on people that just failed to go to the designated check in place.  Help out here.  



Thanks for allow me to VENT  



So, plan ahead and be safe.  You are the best person to take care of personal fire safety and collectively we can prevent a real tragedy here at old RU.
