DYING.

FROM ARTICLE: People like bank directors are regarded by some with respect, if not with awe, and resented by others. But the bank directors live in the same kind of houses as everyone else, and there is no way of telling, from their clothes or their manners or—most noticeable of all—their accents, that they are not like everyone else in every other way as well. What­ever the hidden inwardnesses of the hierarchy, it translates itself into no palpable variation of manner. Friendliness and equality are matters of pride, just as reserve and self-differentiation are matters of pride in Eastern cities. Class, as measured in money, of course exists, although the spread is by national standards very narrow. But class as measured by bearing and attitude simply does not.

I can’t even. Professor Bloom, I have never been happier to have opted out of your journalism classes while in college. This largely offensive and disasteful article is filled with little more than tired cliches, gross generalizations and feeble imagery. I hope Bloom takes the time to read the comments section, because (most, though not all) people make some excellent, and painfully obvious, points on things he happened to have “missed” while living in Iowa City.

I’m legitamitely raging right now.

Of course I’ll still be hitting up the various Barney’s Beanerys* around Los Angeles to watch with my fellow Hawkeyes, but on the few Saturdays I can’t be bothered to leave the house, I just added the Big Ten Network to my cable package!

I cannot put into words how excited I am for Hawkeye football tomorrow! 

Hawkeye football season is just around the corner! Finally!!!

The amount of time I spent dropping off my work and picking up assignments at the Dey House never ceases to amaze me. I loved that building and what I felt every time I walked into it.
