Housing and Dining Services Hates You
Rants

lameAs if the diarrhea-inducing food wasn't a big enough "fuck you," small, conspicuous security cameras have sprouted from the walls of UCSD's dining commons since last spring. Worst of all, the new surveillance equipment is accompanied by signs with such cheerful phrases as "For your protection, videotaping is in progress." Since when has a video camera in a cafeteria been for any patron's protection? I'd rather see "protective" cameras on the loading dock recording the boxes of Grade D meat as they go rancid in the warm air.

There was a reason Orwell wrote 1984, but it looks to me like the irony of this double-speak has been lost on our dorm-dwelling students. It should be obvious enough that the cameras are to make sure patrons aren't eating food without paying for it, but I get hungry and don't like to wait, damnit. If they want to arrest me for munching on my curly fries before I pay, so be it. I dare them to try.
