...come to my attention that approximately one week ago, every newly-elected member of the Phoenix, S.K. final club was given a live chicken and instructed by their elders to keep close contact with them while going to classes, going to final club events and so forth. Apparently, most carry the chickens around in boxes that seem to be a little over a foot square. They get jostled around between classes, take up seats (in their boxes) amongst the noisy crowds in the dining halls and are penned-up in student rooms at night (on the floor). They apparently have...
...that the seniors, and newly elected members, can properly reflect on these questions, consider what we currently know about chicken behavior, emotion and thought. Chickens live in large social groups and form complex dominance hierarchies whereby high-ranking animals out-compete low-ranking animals for access to valued resources. Chickens have a complex vocal repertoire consisting of approximately 25-30 different vocalizations. Within this repertoire, they have one call for aerial predators and one for ground predators. They also have food calls, and scientists have discovered that these vocalizations function like our words--they refer to objects and events...

I had the fantastic opportunity to visit MTV Studios last Friday with another Crimson Arts editor and sit in on their highest rated show, Total Request Live, (TRL) hosted, of course, by the one, the only, Carson Daly. Theres no denying itno matter how much you loathe the showTotal Request Live is the arena to launch music (the American Bandstand of the 90s). If you crack the countdown, chances are youll show up on the Billboard...
...They cant sing. Theyre professional lip-synchers! No live band, no improvisation. Just pure, 100 percent unconcentrated lip-synching straight out of the carton. No potential for mess-ups, no whines from the crowd that the live versions sound different, no need for talent...
