random thoughts from a member of the yuppie technocrati

friday fun
tough week at work, but it got better. i think i'm starting to get a handle on the CA M+C stuff. i must be masochistic else why would i look at the Calvin College residential policies. how do *you* like living in a mind control prison fuck some of these are even worse than my high schools policies - but i guess all my high school was worried about was liability because we were minors and not offering a "unique and valuable opportunity for all residents to learn and grow within a Christian community of students from widely varying backgrounds, interests, and Christian traditions." hmm
choice excerpts
Sexual Misconduct: Calvin College holds that premarital intercourse is in conflict with Biblical teaching, and that conduct promoting such intimacy (i.e. nudity, partial undress, lying or sleeping in bed together) is unacceptable. Persons engaging in such conduct face disciplinary action including parent/guardian notification, or suspension.
Yes, of course it is acceptable for your college to prohibit you from engaging in *any* sort of vaguely sexual behavior and threaten to notify your parents if you do. Fuck, my high school had some stuff in the rule book about how they believed boarding school was an inappropriate place to have sex but no explicit prohibitions or threats to tell your parents. Also birth control was available at the health center.
In coordination with this there are the ever useful "Open House Policy and Procedures"
1 During non-open house hours, men are not permitted in the private areas (which include the rooms, corridors, and stairwells) of women’s halls, and vice versa.
2 During open house hours, the room door is to remain open. To avoid accidental closing, the lock may be turned outward so that the door will remain out of the doorframe and will be free swinging. A door blocked by a dresser, bed, or other object is not considered open.
Visitation hours are the following:
Wednesday 4:00 – 10:00 pm
Friday noon – 1:00 am
Saturday noon – midnight
Sunday noon – 11:00 pm
Wow! how generous. At Andover by the time we were seniors we at least were allowed to have a closed door.
Blech
Also free speech? - not here
Because the language we use can offend, hurt, or degrade individuals or God, students are asked to maintain high standards of communication. Profanity, obscenities, and hate speech are not appropriate in a Christian, academic community.
When I was a freshman at andover we had a dorm meeting coming up with alternatives to obsenities. like fudge etc. but as far as i remember that was the only time profanity was an issue - even then they just "encouraged" us to find alternative means of expression.
anyways more evidence as to why my brother should transfer. In my opinion even if you decide to live according to all of these "standards" - shouldn't it be as a result of your own free will and judgement as an adult?
Blech
listening to: massive attack - blue lines
