The Indiana Daily Student

Columnist's logic causes college grief

Disclaimer: I hate Purdue just as much as the next guy ...\nBut come on, this has got to be the worst column ("We're just better," Tuesday) I've ever read in the IDS. \nDrunk food -- We're better because they deliver to our lazy asses? Half of the fun of being drunk and eating is actually being at the eatery. XXX one-ups us for sure.\nParty week -- I bet IU Police Department loves this part. It seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to celebrate, in print, the fact that you break the law. And in the celebration of this fact, you run the risk of putting thousands of underage people even more at the mercy of the police. Well thought out ...\nEducation -- Purdue only turns out fifth- and sixth-year seniors? What about the engineers, teachers, etc.? And I'd be curious to see the number of fifth- and sixth-year seniors that IU puts out compared to those in West Lafayette. \nSex - What exactly does the Kinsey Institute do to make improvements in the sex lives of IU students? "The Kinsey Institute at Indiana University promotes interdisciplinary research and scholarship in the fields of human sexuality, gender and reproduction." That doesn't sound like it is anything exclusively for the use of IU students. \nI guess what I'm trying to say is that I was embarrassed to read this. I feel like Purdue won this battle because of stupidity on our part. Better think things out a little better next time and not just go for easy points and cheap thrills.
