最近的一大新闻

听说是昨天我校男篮赢了……

我的经历是这样,昨天我和几个同学也一起去打球来着,本来想去占那个好点的场地,后来发现有比赛,我们不能打,只好换到老体育馆打球。然后我们打了一小时就回去了。然后第二天上校内就发现有人说我们学校男篮赢了,26年首场胜利……

其实男篮之前还有一场女篮比赛,我记得我看到的时候好像是19:59落后着。

其实最近很多人都感觉篮球要赢吧。先是2月4号校长发邮件提到:

“I would first like to applaud Coach Eslinger and his players for their hard-fought game against La Verne Wednesday night, and I know I'm not alone. The Beavers have played great team basketball and have been very competitive all season. I believe that our first conference win is coming soon, with many more to follow.”

然后是昨天我去操场看到学校的香港籍秘书也去了,之前从没见她去过Gym来着……据说是去给篮球队认识的香港同学加油来着。学校重视如此,估计是看准了有赢的希望才搞得吧……

一封邮件引发的风波

今天早晨开邮箱,结果发现有人给我校学生会邮件组发了一封邮件,叫A nice gentleman is looking for opportunity to establish a life-time relationship。大意是一位40岁左右的原籍中国现为美国公民的男性试图在我校觅一女生求交往。我扫了一眼就习惯性的跳过去了,毕竟每天看bbs上都有大量类似消息。

结果做了一天实验回来发现这封邮件引起了全校范围的大讨论。先是有同学站出来说我们应该想点什么办法把这种不适当的(求交往)邮件屏蔽掉。接下来就有热心网友建议把这类邮件发买买提去。接下来有同学说:

……(我校)far more gentlemen looking for girlfriends or wives than ladies looking for boyfriends or husbands, we should put ladies(not gentlemen) looking for relationships ads here, please


但是接下来,有同学认为这种行为如果没有被禁止就不该大加批判云云。

If it is NOT violating any written rule, give the sender a break please. And if most people on the email list don't like this kind of message,
write down a rule now and send a reminder to everyone,


(我校中国同学)is not a science community but a daily-life community. For life, we are watching a lot of emotional stories happening around us all the time, do we have to forbid them or avoid them? Are they dirty or something compared with science? …… we are not babies or born in 1960s, this kind of thing is normal and decent.


然后大家就热烈的讨论了起来。有同学建议学生会出面来解决一下(主席很快表态说欢迎大家上入人网我校专用主页讨论,别在邮件里面回)。还有同学建议我们学习买买提MIT搞一个bbs,顺带又非诚勿扰地征了一把友。

最后还有几个酱油党同学纷纷表示从来没有看见过我校邮件组上一封邮件有这么多回帖(最后又16封,足够在十大上呆一年了),这真是“very geilivable”。不过仔细看了一下回帖的邮件名,我系同学情绪稳定,纷纷以实际行动表示这事对日常生活影响不大。

不过想来,我校学生邮件组确实还算波澜不惊。我订的另外一校的学生会邮件组,里面老生毕业新生接机文体活动聚众吃喝迎接领袖海归创业募捐求助生老病死五花八门应有尽有。听志莹说以前还有人诚心求卵,相比之下,我校诚心求交往引发的小骚动实算在是小巫了。
