Don’t TP My Bungalow
Anyone who’s lived here long enough has surely seen plenty of head scratchers. When some ten thousand college kids live in a square-mile box, there’s inevitably going to be a strong contingent of stupid people. These stupid people, naturally, do stupid things. I’ve heard people ask where Tecate was from. I once heard a house bumping Simple Plan on DP. Hell, even I once threw half a gallon of spoiled milk at a skunk one night in a drunken fury. And let’s not even divulge the literal sense of the term, “doing stupid things.” We’ve all had to slay some dragons in our day.
Regents Back Dynes in Meeting
SAN FRANCISCO – Despite calls from students, staff and a few state senators for his resignation, the Regents of the University of California supported the continued leadership of President Robert C. Dynes over the UC system at yesterday’s Regents’ meeting. Meanwhile, about 30 protesters from various UC campuses staged a disruptive protest during a presentation about nuclear laboratories managed by the UC. During the meeting yesterday at UC San Francisco’s Laurel Heights campus, Regents Chair Gerald Parsky made a statement in which he informed the audience and media that the Regents had met with Dynes and had determined that his continued leadership would be accepted. While Parsky said that there was no formal vote in deciding to support Dynes, he said the Regents had reached a consensus over their support for him. “The Regents hold President Dynes accountable for the University’s compensation problems, and he has acknowledged his responsibility,” Parsky said. “However, we are convinced that he understands the dimensions of the problem and context in which these problems occur, and the institutional barriers that must be overcome to ensure lasting reform.”
