Melodores Embark on Grandiose Quest

Today, April 21, the Melodores are having their final concert of the year, “The Meloship of the Ring.” To prepare, members have decided to forgo shaving and wearing shoes up to and throughout the duration of the concert. Throughout the year, the group has had many issues on campus with other a cappella groups, and [...]

What a glorious year

I can’t believe it’s already here—this is my last issue as editor-in-chief of The Slant. It’s the end of an era… well, it’s at least the end of my reign. Every year, it’s tradition for the next year’s editor-in-chief to put together the last issue of the current year. Thus, in two weeks time, the [...]

Campus Organizations and Offices at the Top of their Game

The three best O’s on campus (organizations/offices):
Vanderbilt Global Education Office (GEO):
Here at Vanderbilt we are all smart(ish). Because we are smart (or like to think we are), we appreciate puzzles. Sudoku lovers and completers of crosswords in the middle of Economics lectures, look no further for your next riddle fix than the Global Education Office [...]

Free Food: a McTyeire survival guide

With my sophomore year about ¾ of the way through and my editorship wrapping up fairly soon, I have to say I have learnt a lot. I have discovered that buying more underwear when you should really just do laundry is only hurting yourself, Easy Mac doesn’t have the actual word “cheese” in its name [...]

Counterpoint: ASB- Why do nothing when you can do everything?

ASB is a beautiful mix of uncomfortable sleeping arrangements, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, forced group bonding and service.  What people don’t always realize from outside the ASBubble is that sleeping on the ground can be really good for your back, raspberry jelly can spice up an otherwise tired sandwich, mandatory bonding can be marvelous, [...]

The Olympics are over!

I am glad the Olympics are over. Now, don’t get me wrong—I love the obnoxious yelling of “USA! USA! USA!” and spandex-covered (and toned) athletes, but my grades do not. The Olympics are one of the best things to happen every two years, and one of the worst.
With a full waste-time schedule already of YouTube [...]

Pop Songs Cause Panic

Across Vanderbilt, students have been experiencing very strange after-effects of heavy nights of drinking. Some experts believe that the symptoms are the result of extremely catchy pop tunes. There is not yet any concrete scientific research to support this theory, however, there is evidence to suggest that songs with particularly asinine lyrics are the most [...]

Editor Update

Everybody rags on Valentine’s Day as being a Hallmark-produced, candy-coated, pseudo-genuine holiday. I realize as Slant editor I should probably jump on this bandwagon, since The Slant historically casts out more zingers than Triumph the insult-comic dog. However, this time I am not. There are a lot stupider holidays out there.
On Easter, is the miracle [...]
