We procured an eye-witness description of the stabbing that occurred in line at Sungod. In true Ghetto Journalism style, here is the AIM conversation that landed in our inbox a couple days ago:

anonymous: i'm standing in line, and i see an argument about three people in front of me
anonymous: this one guy (call him tom) has tried to cut in line
anonymous: since the line is so obscenely long
anonymous: and this other guy (call him john) is pissed
anonymous: so, john starts yelling at tom
anonymous: tom yells back
anonymous: john shoves tom
anonymous: tom shoves john back
anonymous: much macho chest-to-chest posturing occurs
anonymous: then, john throws a blow
anonymous: a really sissy, weak, looping, would make anyone who actually knows how to fight cringe in disgust sort of blow
anonymous: tom throws a flurry of punches (of similar quality) back at john
anonymous: and then john stabs tom
anonymous: quickly, through tom's sweatshirt
anonymous: he stabs him in the upper chest, so it doesnt go in deep
anonymous: ribcage is in the way
anonymous: as far as stabbings go, really, its pretty weak
anonymous: tom's friends pull him away, and he leaves
anonymous: the crowd that had gathered to watch the fight disperses
anonymous: i advance in line
anonymous: few minutes later
anonymous: security is yelling
anonymous: trying to find tom
anonymous: tom comes up to the fence
anonymous: and says, "man, i just got stabbed"
anonymous: pretty nonchalant about it, though
anonymous: police take him away (for questioning and a ride to the hospital, i assume)

We'll leave it up to your judgment to ascertain the veracity of this story.

Some of you may be asking, "What stabbing?" Good question. The Guardian did not mention the incident in their long, monotonous Lights and Sirens, and has refrained from reporting it otherwise—despite knowledge of the scuffle. Anyone know why?

As I type this there's a small yet determined group of religious fundamentalists on Library Walk. Two of them are holding aloft a slipshod laminated banner proclaiming homosexuality to be a sin – these are the guys that everybody is yelling at. The poor folks who were left with the over-dramatic pictures of aborted fetuses sitting on American currency were being ignored, half-heartedly trying to engage passerby in "discussions" of abortion even though their debate tactics consist of "hay guys look at this gross picture!" I didn't have the heart to tell them that they air open-heart surgery and shit on television now, and that gross pictures do not an argument make. They seemed proud of their little posterboard aborted fetus craft projects, and I didn't want to take that away from them.

Anyway, the abortion people getting ignored is understandable. I mean, the anti-homosexuality idiots had hot and angry guys making out in front of them, and there's nothing that Americans surreptitiously enjoy more than homoeroticism. The banner itself has a bunch of references to various biblical laws, with the time-honored favorite of Leviticus 18:22 being the first. I've always found it cute how these people will yell about one old testament law until they're blue in the face while at the same time ignoring and violating a law that lives only a few lines away.

By the time I left, a group of passing students had formed a human wall in front of the banner while one of the fundies was yelling about wanting to vomit. I hear, though, that they make medication for nausea and stuff now. Maybe he should look into that.

(If anybody has pictures, send them in. My camera wasn't on me, and Cingular's picture phone service might as well be run by diseased carrier pigeon.)

Some of you may be wondering why we've been so silent as of late. The reason is relatively simple – nothing fucking happens at UCSD. Seriously, you people need to step up to the plate and actually do something. Then again, most of you bastards won't even fucking give blood when the goddamn van is off of Library Walk. It's just blood! You can just, y'know, make more!

Okay, here's the agreement. Every one of you is now charged with the sacred duty of actually living your lives. In return, we shall report on it if you're able to be the stuff of urban legend. The alternative is to fucking stay in your dorm rooms, playing Starcraft and hearing tell of these mysterious "par-ties" that your friends from other colleges speak of. This alternative also includes a higher frequency of angry ranting, but apparently some of you fucks get off on that.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I've an alcohol fueled social scene to butterfly about.

Edit: Yes, I'm aware that the above text rambles a bit and isn't that polished or precise or whatever. To clarify for those of you who didn't read between the lines, the post was made while I was drinking heavily after having had a pint of blood sucked out of my body. Not really a state from which to expect incisive commentary, eh?

Matt Corrales sent us this:

The UCSD College Democrats are hosting U.S. Congressman Bob Filner this Friday @ 7pm @ the Institute of the Americas, Hojel Hall (next to RIMAC). He will be discussing the Iraq war, social secuirity, and the future of the Democratic Party. For more information, check ucsdcollegedems.com. The event is FREE and light refreshments will be provided.

Hell yeah.

In spirit of the business school "hacking", there is now a way to view the fall schedule of classes a couple days ahead of time. It's nothing special, but for those who just can't wait, take a look inside...

Edit: it looks like a quick fix on the part of the maintainers of StudentLink may or may not block you from using this to look at the schedule. I'll see if anything can be done about it.

Amy wrote YouCSD.com the following:

Sixth College is having its second annual All Campus Film Festival. Submissions are due April 28th by 4pm in the Sixth Admin. Office (2nd floor of Pepper Canyon Hall near Gilman). The film festival will be held on May 11th, 2005 from 7-10PM at the Price Center Theater. More info can be found at http://filmfestival.ucsd.edu.

Thanks, Amy.

Yeah, apparently what I said earlier is no longer true. Students from UCSD are among the list of poor saps that are about to be sued thanks to their massive filesharing. If you want to read the Wired Magazine article on it, take a gander here. Be ready for those lawsuit letters tomorrow!

All our endorsed candidates won except for Student Services, and for that we endorsed the independent. Not bad. This calls for a celebratory bender. Go away.

This year, you won't have to wait for Monday's Guardian to see winners and vote totals. Tune in Friday evening around 5:00 pm (barring any delay-causing grievances). We'll have winners posted as soon as they're announced.

By the way, voting ends Friday at 4:00 pm.

Vote on Studentlink.
