I like my major!

After my sixth try, I think I finally found a major I can stick with. Maybe it was that after a year and a half, there was finally an article worth writing on this campus. I had a busy week, but it was worth it. I was lied to as a journalist, and it felt great! I exposed some minor corruption on campus. It may have put my moneys in jeopardy for my trip to Ireland, but I really don't give a fuck. If I can't get money through the Office of Student Financial Services, I'll just get it somewhere else.

So about this major, it got me all worked up. I was running all around, interviewing the head of every department and important faculty member here. My favorite part of the day was when I went into Barry White's (not the singer) office (he's actually white, and pretty lame) and tried to make an interview with him. He's like the UC accountant or some bullshit like that. His secretary told me he was busy all day and probably wouldn't be in the office. As I turned to leave, he walked in the door. I asked if I could have a minute with him, very briefly, so he could answer some of my questions.

"I would prefer not to comment," White said. "We haven't been pleased with the coverage at the Tangerine." Fair enough, but I think he was already warned about the article I was trying to write.

Some thought I went too far with the article while others thought I didn't go far enough to expose the executive director of student financial services. BUT SHE TOOK OUR PAPERS. And that's personal. To read the article I'm referring to, go to www.uctangerine.com and read 'Dude, Where's My Tangerine?' Also, read the one from the previous issue (lead story) and Keith Henry's response, called 'Tangerine Drops Ball On Story.'

The Tangerine had more hits for Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 than any other days this semester, and I have a feeling the paper is going to get better every week.
