[Magdalen] The college students are back!

[Molly Wolf]

And in Kingston, the parental vans and u-hauls tie up lanes of the critical downtown arteries, which go right through the Queen's Ghetto. Trios of mum, dad, and incoming freshthingie crowd Loblaws and Metro, exuding anxiety.  Next week: parades of incoming engineering students painted purple will be marching around and breaking into hoarse archaic chants, with waves of testosterone coming off them -- even the girls.

I am soooo glad I went to Grinnell, where school spirit was considered terribly jejeune.
