How Many UC Students Does It Take To Change A Lightbulb?
This question has been asked of many a wise man, but it turns out it depends on the campus.
From Wikipedia:
University of California, Berkeley
-Seventy-six. One to change the lightbulb, fifty to protest the lightbulb’s right to not change, and twenty-five to hold a counter- protest.
University of California, Davis
-None. Davis doesn’t have electricity.
University of California, Irvine
-One. Someone to hire the undocumented worker mowing the lawn to do it for them.
More below the fold
UCLA
-One. She holds the bulb and the world revolves around her!
University of California, Merced
-None. Classes are held by the vernal pools.
University of California, Riverside
-None. Riverside looks better in the dark.
University of California, San Diego
-Two. One to mix the margaritas and one to call the electrician.
University of California, San Francisco
-Two. One to change the lightbulb and one to crack under the pressure.
University of California, Santa Cruz
-Six. One to remove the old light bulb, one to fashion it into a bong, one to hold the new bulb into the socket, and three to pass the newly created bulb-bong around until the room spins.
University of California, Santa Barbara
-Only one, but they get six credits for it.
UC Hastings Law School
-One. Someone to to file the product liability suit.
“University of California, Berkeley
-Seventy-six. One to change the lightbulb, fifty to protest the lightbulb’s right to not change, and twenty-five to hold a counter- protest.”
tis would be funny if only it werent true.

These are pretty much retreads of Ivy League lightbulb jokes.

How many Calstuff staffers does it take to have the pulse of the campus?
The University announced last May that it wasn’t allowing vets to return to Bowles, and no one caught this? The SF Chron has better campus sources than Calstuff?
Damn, this blog has regressed.

I was just gonna remark about the Bowles thing too. Dissapointing.

Below the fold? There’s no fold.

I did hear about the Bowles thing at the time, it just didn’t interest me, and it didn’t occur to me as something that would interest a substantial portion of CalStuff readers.
So sophomores and juniors and seniors can’t live in some of the University owned housing… I don’t understand why people who aren’t freshman would want to live there anyway.
P.S. If something interesting happens that you don’t notice on CalStuff you can always, you know, like send us as IM or e-mail tipping us off, ‘cause we might not realize the importance or interest of something to CalStuff readers.

You dont understand why people who aren’t freshmen want to live there. But there are plenty of people who do want to live there for a second (or third, or fourth) year. There is room, and the university is BANNING them from living there because of concerns over alocohol and behavior. You dont think this is indicative of how theyd like to handle alcohol in say, the frats?
I wont even get into the Bowles history and how its been stifled in the past few years - the whole reason why it was bearable to live in the all guys dorm was the frat-type atmosphere, and theyve been slowly killing that for the past 5 years.
This is a hell of a lot more important than the Greek Queer Alliance.
Comment by Andy J — August 23, 2005 @ 12:16 pm
I don’t know why anyone other than freshmen would want to live in the dorms period. For a tiny room, they charge over $10,000 for a TRIPLE, bad food, limited downloading (they even punish you when you download too much even though you paid for it) and questionable security (security monitors? please! the most useless job after GSI’s).
They sell the rooms because they know almost all freshmen choose to live in the dorms because of the “experience.” My ass.

yea for real, why doesn’t the university put a ban on amyl nitrate use at the fag house?

Hey! From Comment #12, I’m wondering if Sean PB Silverthorne is back posting on Calstuff.
Comment by Anon — August 23, 2005 @ 1:57 pm
Andy J. Will you write a guest post about the universities decision not to let non-freshman live in Bowles and the university crackdown on the Bowles Halloween party and why non-freshman would want to live there etc.

Just so I’m clear, people who live in Bowles become ‘vets,’ correct? Because that’s… well… nevermind.
Comment by Beetle — August 23, 2005 @ 4:50 pm
and the comment about the “Greek Queer Alliance” was necessary why?? Hmmm…I guess you would be one of the counter protestors. I’m sorry the university won’t let you guys drink on school property as 19 years old. How unfair the world is.

tis alliance is a waste of time s0n. teh moratorium need to be crushT instead. leave tis alliance shit for a sociology class or a book were it belongs. fukin greeks need tere proirities strait.

if you can decipher what “smashT” wrote, I guess he has a good point about drug use in people’s park.
Comment by thomas — August 23, 2005 @ 10:43 pm
Yes, indeed. Solution? Instead of drinking with a few friends because you’ll get locked up, everyone should take hard illicit drugs in people’s park because you won’t get arrested.
The fact that the University condones this shit makes me sick, and then busts STUDENTS, their INVESTMENTS. Jesus fucking Christ, who do they care more about, students who pay upwardly increasing tuition or those pieces of slime bucket shit who sell drugs in people’s Park?

Ok, topic change- How many of you are fucking sick of the phrase “underrepresented minority”?? Man, every time I read that phrase it feels like a strategy to call every minority a minority- except for Jews and Asians (oh but wait- Filipinos are underrepresented- just not Chinese and such). Fuck you, PC police. God I’m getting glad that this is my last year here.

Actually filipinos are overrepresented 2-1 if you look at Cal population and state population. All Asian groups except generic Pacific Islander are overrepresented. Jews are also represented. However because they and Asians are “model minorities” and didn’t suffer “discrimination”, we can consider them worse than whites in an “ideal” admissions process that mirrors the “population of the state”. What a load of bullshit.

drinking w/a few friends won’t get you locked up. neither will drug use, soft or hard. you don’t have it worse than the people’s park crowd supposedly does, so there’s no need to get hysterical.
