Preparations for Senior Week

On May 13, 2010, in Reviews, by Riley

For the first time since August the fountains at Dillingham are filled with water.

I’m sure I’m not the first to say that they should have been filled weeks ago. We’re still waiting on the anchored fountains to spray the water in the air to achieve the postcard look, but we’ll take what we can get.

finally full

I can’t wait to hear about how many kids get written up for trespassing and swimming into the fountains before Senior Week. But I also heard that since Judicial Referrals are more paperwork than they’re worth, that the school has done away with that punitive measure – jump on in Seniors!

A Direct Correlation: Parents and Water

On April 22, 2010, in Rants, by Scott

Don’t let me come off as bitter, even though I am. Take a look at your beautiful Ithaca College ID. There’s picture of a lush, wet fountain on it. Now think back to orientation. A lush, wet fountain was the centerpiece of the campus. It’s April 21st, almost April 22nd. Now look at the fountain. How ‘bout that gray concrete?

how they OUGHT to look

What’s up with that? It’s been warm enough recently, and I bet the following weeks will only get better! Slut Day has come and gone, which is usually a solid indicator of Ithaca’s weather. On the other hand, despite the sun and temperatures not in the 30s, Ithaca College will not pump those fountains full of water until all the mothers and fathers enter the campus for either prospective students or to see their dumb kids graduate. Yeah that’s right. The money walks on campus and all of a sudden the fountains are alive again.

Ithaca College, you better step it up. Consider Slut Day the opening for the fountains. Not the green of parents’ cash and May’s pollen-ridden leaves.
