LETTER FROM THE SLUTTITOR-IN-CHIEF

Diversity is a big buzzword at our little school (and on our Feature page!). Despite our efforts to integrate a num-ber of diverse students, have our perspectives really been expanded? We don’t actually know! So, our Backpage quizmasters have carefully crafted this quiz so that you, our esteemed readers, can find out!

Missionaries, Missionaries, we’re on top!

Whitman: Unpretentious, pretentious Northwest culture.

Whitman . . . What’s your safe word?

We learn, we live, we love . . . to party

We may be missionaries, but we can get dirtier than nuns doing power squats in cucumber fields.We’re nerdy, we’re dirty and we’re purdy.

We’re giddy, we’re witty and we’re pretty.

Through its esteemed history, Whitman’s identity has remained open-ended, due in part to the diversity of the students and seemingly limitless slogans that could each accurately apply to Whitties. But which slogan defines Whitman the best? I recently went around campus and asked students what their slogan for Whitman would be and these are the responses I received:

When ‘unpretentious’ fails . . .

When diversity falls, quizzes must rise

We all know that piece of paper in our section bathroom stall. It’s there. It’s fun. It’s profane. It’s an age-old residence hall pastime, dating back to the early days of Whitman College, when they used quill and ink to pen dirty comments, such as, “My chap, I have the beer farts.” To the point: have you ever wondered what the opposite sex writes on its bathroom-stall comment board? Thanks to Backpage’s ardent investigative journalism (we stole these), we can now give you a glimpse.
