Admissions Office Unfair to White Males
By Floral Acknadden
Helper Monkey

For years Pomona has touted its standards of equality and diversity in the demographics of each incoming class. Lies, all lies. It is startling to see how one of the most misunderstood and underrepresented groups in the community is continually shoved back in favor of recruiting other citizenry. Pomona, I challenge you to put aside your stereotypes, and finally embrace as brothers the people you have neglected for so long: America’s affluent white males.

The Admissions Office has covertly been avoiding this confrontation despite increasing evidence that the rich-upperclass-male, or RUM, has been denied equal consideration in applications. This has led to the rallying cry of “But why’s the RUM gone?” among those who have managed admission despite discrimination. The powers that be, with their blatantly disproportionate policies, have not succeeded in killing the activist spirit of this culturally sensitive group.


Students, Please Keep Getting Alcohol Poisoning, Please
By Ron Tilsnip
Owner, Pomona Valley Medical Center

First of all, I want to offer my thanks to you, the students of Pomona College for all you’ve done to make the Pomona Valley Medical Center what it is today. A hospital is only as successful as its patients, and I count myself lucky that my hospital has the continued support and patronage of Pomona College students nearly every weekend. Yes, business is booming these days, all thanks to your cold, limp, alcohol-poisoned bodies, just waiting to be resuscitated for a price.

This Almost Ran as a Real, Non-Joke Story
By Jimmy "The Face" LaSorda

I am appalled at the differences between Pomona College and Las Vegas. After visiting Las Vegas for the first time over Fall Break, I’ve been noticing the many ways Pomona College could improve by doing things the “Vegas way.”

Everybody Should Just Die: For Reals
By Spider Jerusalem

It’s been a rough semester. There’s been plenty to hate, and plenty of it has already been addressed in this section, but your Uncle Spider still has some venom left to spew, so you might as well let me get it out of my system.
