Warm greetings our fellow classmates. It is our pleasure to continue the legacy of the previously infamous “Second String Studs” and bring you the dirty truths of Costa, as well as occasional comments on sports. As you get to know us over the next eight months, take a minute to at least read our column before tossing the rest of the paper. We promise not to disappoint.
Let’s get right to it, we will be discussing, as you might expect, ASB. Their reign of terror is a recurring theme we have heard time and time again around campus. As many of you are aware, there has been a shortage of parking passes, despite an excess of spots available each day. What was even the point of the parking lottery? Word on the street is that if you are in ASB, you can get a parking pass. We believe that many ASB members received parking passes by imposing their apparent authority on the poor ladies of the front office. We don’t know if this is a concrete fact, but we would believe it eight days out of seven. So underclassmen, a quick tip: get into ASB and you will be guaranteed the high road of privilege at Mira Costa.
On another note, let’s not forget about ASB’s Bring a Buddy party. Apparently our student government had a surplus of funds from last year and decided to throw a carnival-themed party full of bouncy houses and a dunk tank. The purpose of this “school event” was to bring younger kids or a “buddy”. However, it was simply a cover for a private ASB party. Maybe they advertised it, maybe not. We know for sure we weren’t aware of it. Maybe in theory the idea sounds good, but if nobody goes due to lack of publicity or desire, then why even hold the event? We would rather see ASB order fifteen large cheese pizzas from Beach Pizza and let students fight over them like savages.
Since we are in fact a sports column, we are obligated to talk about sports. Let’s start with football. This year kicked off to a rowdy start during the first home game. We’re lucky our student body was stripped of most of our home games so we will not have to see Ben Dale struggle to complete a few inadequate push-ups for much longer. Our fearless leader should focus on intoxicated students instead of showing off to the freshman.
Anyway, that’s the scoop. It may be dirty and it may be rough, but we’ll always be here to report to our few loyal readers. Tune in next issue for more comments from the Peanut Gallery.
