A diamond to the directors of the new student short film "The Face." Your depiction of Rhode Island "as a post-apocalyptic world" seems dead accurate to us.
A diamond to the students "funking" the war. While everyone loves a wild dance party in the name of anti-war activism, we especially applaud rolling an amplifier tied to a car battery down College Hill in a shopping cart. Now that's post-apocalyptic Providence!
Coal to the poor planning by students traveling to Montreal for spring break to attend a Boys Noize concert. Save the effort and just stand outside Sigma Chi on a weekend night.
A sparkling diamond to the honest student who, after being stopped by DPS for taking a joy ride on the Main Green, explained that he "thought it would be fun." Sir, we salute you.
Coal to the graffiti artists who have apparently invaded Providence. If you've got some odd-looking fare you'd like to display, enter the Reject Art Show like everyone else.
An amicus curiae diamond to law schools reenacting awkward high school memories. It's good to know powersuit-clad, briefcase-carrying future lawyers still want to re-do their high school prom.
A diamond to the men's basketball team for its stellar season and to Damon Huffman '08 for his 39 points against Ohio on Tuesday. There's no punch-line here; we're just proud of you.
Cubic zirconium to former Mayor Buddy Cianci. You had enough cajones to make a joke about Ruth Simmons getting rejected from hell and also suggesting Providence consume its neighbors. So why aren't you running again?
Hot heaps of coal to eliminating trays from the dining halls, which some schools say helps students make more careful choices about consuming food. How are we ever going to win the RecycleMania competition if we're not throwing away tons of food?
Coal to whoever feeds Amie Street co-founder Elliott Breece '06, who thinks getting free press over a squeaky-voiced call girl's use of his Web site is like getting "free soup." We're not thrilled about you equating our incisive front-page coverage with one of the cheapest, most watery foods ever. Unless it's Campbell's Chunky soup. Then you get a diamond.
