This Aint A Scene, It's an Arms Race

On the day of our university’s Presidential Inauguration, the Boston Globe ran a front page report on how down to earth the Boston University President is. I think that’s blasphemy! Every proud Husky should get out there and find a Terrier to step on.

Either the BU public relations office bought out the Globe to get some good press because they are afraid NU is stealing the spotlight, OR, the Globe thinks there isn’t enough white-hot competition among all the universities crammed in this town. Bostonians, many of whom are loyal alums with vested interest, watch the local universities so closely, not unlike how teenage girls read Hollywood gossip magazines. And they all seem to want a fierce dogfight. From ads all over the T stations to pages of spread on the Metro, bragging is an understatement. When did educational institutions become so cut-throat and degraded to commercial products and so tainted with the smell of greenbacks?

This aint a scene, it's a god damn arms race,
Fitting you with weapons in the form of words
And don't really care, which side wins
