UD is...
"Salty." (Scott McLemee)
"Unvarnished." (Phi Beta Cons)
"Splendidly splenetic." (Culture Industry)
"Except for University Diaries, most academic blogs are tedious."
(Rate Your Students)
"I think of Soltan as the Maureen Dowd of the blogosphere,
except that Maureen Dowd is kind of a wrecking ball of a writer,
and Soltan isn't. For the life of me, I can't figure out her
politics, but she's pretty fabulous, so who gives a damn?"

Signs of Life at FIU

Nicely written student editorial in the Florida International University newspaper, in which the following points are made:


1. Our team sucks so most of us don't care about it and don't go to its games.
2. We already have a stadium for the team to use.
3. The administration is about to raise our student fees to pay for a new stadium.
4. The stadium will feature things like overpriced luxury seats for stupid rich people.
5. It's degrading to be associated with any of this. Leave us alone.
