13 Questions We Have For Colgate University
Colgate

As the deliberate, professional journalists that are so characteristic of Odyssey, elite members of the Colgate Odyssquad, Julia Cooper and Patrick Toohey have been commissioned to ask Colgate University the tough questions. Thirteen of them, to be exact -- no particular reasoning accompanies that quantity, it was simply the number of questions they had.

Their hope is that the university administration will respond to these pressing inquiries with urgency and honesty (perhaps inviting our brilliant Creators to partake in another campus improvement committee) so that we can all feel more informed and comfortable taking on the 2017 Spring Semester.

1. Does a University-wide dress code exist?

I was never informed of one, but it seems a vast majority of the students are wearing slight variations of the same 3 outfits.

2. Where’s the honey mustard?

The world needs to know. Or at least this Twitter account.

3. Why does no one west of Virginia or south of the Mason-Dixon line know this school exists?

I got about 50 mail ads about Colgate University in high school, so why do all my friends still think I went to work at a toothpaste factory instead of attend a college?

4. What ethnicity is the Raider?

Wikipedia says he used to be Native American, and now he’s…undead?

5. Do any real, human people work at ResLife?

Perhaps the zombies that infected Raider have taken up residence underneath Drake Hall.


6. How much was Paul Rudolph paid for the design of the Dana Arts Center?

Are we sure it wasn't designed by M. C. Escher?

If it was any more than $0, you need to reevaluate your architecture budget.

7. Have we isolated the virus that causes regular outbreaks of the Colgate plague?

Finding a vaccine should be a top priority of the health center.

8. How much of the annual budget is allocated to hush money for The Jug?

Can the “Student Activity Fee” be paid in increments of $5?


9. Is the Colgate Hello an urban legend?

It seems about as commonly sighted as Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster.


10. How many students get frostbite annually?

Based on the administration’s refusal to cancel classes and the regular barrage of emails warning us against the dangers of exposing our skin to the elements, I’d guess roughly “a lot.”


11. Where do you keep the monkey that writes the 500 daily Career Services emails?

Is it receiving proper care? #CareerServicesDidHarambe

12. Has a Cruiser® driver ever assaulted a passenger?

Was this photo taken in Andrews on a Monday night or what?

They don’t seem too fond of all the inebriated teenagers scream-singing The Chainsmokers. Heaven knows why.

13. Is the campus officially sponsored by Keystone Light?

Because based on this swill's prevalence across our keg-less campus, that must be an incredibly lucrative endorsement.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
