Improvements?

The administration seems to be really cracking down on the skirt situation, an is now issuing permanent and temporary skirt passes, a small yellow card marked 'skirt pass'. This has to be the first time Man About College has ever heard of such a thing is waiting to see how this will unfold. Man wonders what will be done if a boy is seen with a pants that is not bottle green.

Since the beginning of the top floor Heat Wave in that library, NO arrangements have been made whatsoever, to at least try to reduce the effects of this inconvenience (apart from the VERY old notice on the door which claim the AC Unit is 'temporarily' out of order)... as a matter of fact , if a chair is even moved to try to get somewhere to sit downstairs, the attendants promptly get up and tell you to put it back.

Finally, Man About College is curious as to why certain warning signs don't apply to everyone, and also why rules are sometimes conditional at this college. Males and Females could be seen in one bathroom this afternoon, brushing, combing and relieving themselves. Not a strange site anymore.

New Permanently Temporary Classroom



The latest addition to the collection of temporary classrooms is slowly taking shape. The plywood structure would hopefully ease the problems that teachers and students have been having recently with finding an empty classrooms. Hopefully the new classroom wouldn't be as stuffy as the infamous, newly refurbished, 'hot room'.



Students were witnessed being summoned and chaperoned to unknown quarters today, coincidentally all female and happened to be wearing skirts. (These girls were actually wearing knee-length skirts) Man About College is a little confused however as to:

  • why these very same measures weren't taken when the few girls who wore the very short skirts were spotted on campus
  • why the short skirt wearers were ever allowed unto the compound or even classes in the first place.
  • if telling the entire female school population not to wear skirts would really prove to be a more effective mission than preventing a few people from wearing too short skirts.
Meanwhile, as these law-abiding skirt wearers were flagged down, girls flittered in and out of the boys bathroom on the top floor (they accustom to it by now, seeing as the girls bathroom is almost always locked) And people were cleansing their pores in the now-sauna that the top floor of the library is.

The new lunchroom (the wall outside copy center) was in full swing lunchtime and was clean after, because you know, they have to prove they can keep it clean to get their more spacious concrete-wall-lunchroom back.

Lighters Up Tomorrow?

  • Though Man About College is not a gossip monger, rumour has it that my all-for-mischeif brother is causing quite a stir. Everybody was busy today looking over their shoulders, and listening to conversations to see if they can find anything to pin someone to the self-proclaimed non-human that MAD About College is...

  • Some 'flyers' have been bouncing around the internet space since yesterday, advertising that tomorrow is dubbed 'Bun battyman Day" for whatever reason. The organisers of this strange event are still unknown, and Man About College is curious to see just how such an event will be pulled off and/or celebrated. Maybe my bible-clutching brother would have more undercover info? What's next? Upper-Six Bun School Day? But Man isn't trying to instigate anything.

  • Man About College is also happy to see the return of College Rocks Fashion. Despite the 'new' school rules, CRF has decided to continue the on going best school shoe of term one competition...

  • Speaking of new school rules, MAN has noticed that, just like everything else in SVG, the temporary(?) craze has died down and the oh-so-popular blue collared enforcer is MUCH subdued.

  • Apart from the regular classroom hunting, everybody being cramming into the lower floor of the library today due to the 70% chance of being baked alive upstairs, and the fact that Toilet Paper scarce in the Calliqua region, everything is just fine.

  • Man About College is also rejoicing as the newly constructed offices are waiting to be furnished. Why rejoice? Well think about it. 'Hot Room' will no longer be a fitting title as whatever measures that are going to be put in place to keep the new offices cool, will spill over into the suffocating 'temporary annexes' including T1. Right?

  • MAN is a little worried about a little concrete structure springing up behind one of the blocks of 'temporary annexes' will this very tiny addition be a classroom or is it just foundation for a new water fountain? Hard to decide.
