Story by Ruby Foudy Print Managing Editor I took a clinical psychology course over the summer with some of the most irritating people I have ever met. They were the kind of people trying to prove that they were the smartest in the room, but many of their contributions were not as groundbreaking as hoped. […]
Flat Earth Adventures
Story by Zoe Chen Editor-in-Chief Part of my summer included a half-hour interaction with a very conspicuous flat Earther. I spent July at a UC Davis summer program, and on Saturday mornings I biked with friends to the Davis farmers market. We had heard of the flat Earther, and we made it our quest to see […]

Sure, it could be because I am a musical theater snob who views it as the most simplistic of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s catalogue, both score and story wise. But I cannot deny that many people […]
