Mangy, Transient Dormless Sophomores Roam the Aisles of Gelman Library


Hunter got to it first, but I read the Hatchet article, and was left with more questions than answers about GW's own mangy, transient dormless hobo. If Marco Chomut happens to read the Patriot blog (doubtful), perhaps he can grace us with some answers in the comments section.

First, where were his parents in all this? Granted, they might not have been able to get him put back into housing, but I imagine they would have had (or still have) strong words for (a) their child, who lived in a library for nearly two months or (b) the University that forced him to do so by kicking him out of housing. Of course, this neglects the possibility that Mr. Chomut managed to hide his mangy, transient dormlessness from his parents. Props to him if that's the case--I can't even keep my eating habits secret from the all-seeing eye of mother.

Secondly, does he have any plans to sue or make a fuss? It doesn't sound like he has grounds for a strong lawsuit, but too few people harass this University when it fails its students so badly (by, say, acting like an uptight parent and throwing her own kids on the street for failing to make rent.)

Thirdly, his hair is suspiciously well-coifed for someone who's been homeless and showering in Hell-Well for two months. Just thought I'd note that. He looks like he's in better than I am after an equal amount of time living in New Hall.

Fourthly, where did he wash his clothes? Did he wash his clothes?

So many questions...

The Patriot accepts anonymous comments [unlike the draconian editors at the Hatchet]. However, we strongly prefer that you USE A NAME. Mostly it's because we don't take anonymous comments seriously, but it's also because we hate bullshit. Have a nice day.

 

Smart. Witty. Irreverent.
