you name it. In New York, Brandon Stanton of Humans of New York, roams the streets looking for hints of humanity
to intertwine us all. At UVM, Marissa Lanoff and Harper Simpson are here to do the same.

Maybe it’s not evident, but diversity is real here at UVM. The diversity exists in personalities, upbringing, interests, religion, sexuality,

I have a WRUV radio show starting in about 6 minutes. It’s called “A Bundle of Carrots.” There’s no real reason for the name. I just spent a lot of time in City Market last year buying a variety of colored carrots. The purple ones are my favorite. This station is my outlet. I like to share good music. Today is blues and bubbly R&B. I also share political messages. Last week I talked about Wiz Khalifa’s baby mama, Amber Rose. She’s been doing a lot for the anti-slut shaming movement. She led a huge march. Women should be able to do whatever they want. Like, don’t tell me what to do, ya know? I should be able to do whatever a man does. Slut, slut, slut, slut. I like being able to say whatever swears they let me on the air. I think censorship is stupid.

I grew up in Mexico and then later went to a boarding school in the middle of nowhere, Scotland. 14 to 18 year olds…. Imagine the debauchery. The school had organized parties and they gave us beer. Age 15 gets 1 beer, 16 gets 2 beers, and 17 gets 3. The parties were so dark; it was like a huge orgy they put together. Kids and their hormones… All kinds of things would happen in the woods.

A friend and I were at a consignment store and he tossed me this sweater.

If I had to get a tattoo, I would probably get a Spiderman logo on my chest.
Friend: This looks like your size, and it’s four bucks, you should get it. Ben: But I am going to look like an asshole. Friend: I’d wear it. So I bought it… I wore it to a party and actually got a lot of compliments.
Skinny Pancake climbs the hill to a home on campus The popular Vermont crepêrie has opened up a new location on campus, replacing Alice’s Cafe By Charlotte Fisher & Megan Fahey cofisher@uvm.edu—mfahey@uvm.edu
UVM is providing students with another option to sink their teeth into. The Skinny Pancake opened last week, replacing Alice’s Café in the Living/Learning Complex and many students say they approve. “I love the downtown location so I’m really excited that they’ve brought one to campus,” junior Kaeli Mace said. The opening came as a result of an agreement signed between
Sodexo and UVM, according to an article published by University Communications. “There was a request for more options on campus, specifically more local options,” said Melissa Zelazny, resident district manager for UVM Dining. “Alice’s Cafe was determined as a great fit for the Skinny Pancake,” Zelazny said. Zelazny said the Real Food Program committee, which includes students, was in support of the plan. “Many of the changes you see this year in dining are a result of the input of the committee last year,” Zelazny said. Junior Lindsey Flanders said she really likes the new addition. “It gives more on-campus food options that are still local,” Flanders said. Senior Alex Olson said he
doesn’t miss Alice’s at all. “The other day I had the best breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had in my life and it only cost 50 cent’s more than the Marche,” Olson said. “And [the Skinny Pancake] is open much more often,” he said. Junior Hannah Schaefer said she appreciates the convenience of the location. “Although Alice’s was a classic, it’s nice to have the Skinny Pancake right on campus,” Schaefer said. “I don’t have to walk all the way down to the bottom of the hill,” she said. But junior Teresa Dotson said it’s a little sad that Alice’s is gone. “It had been on campus for so long,” Dotson said. “But it is really nice that you can get breakfast all day and that the Skinny Pancake is open early in the morning and late at
