Treachery is Afoot!
The Oregon Commentator was supposed to have a photo shoot with the new President of the University, Richard Lariviere, today. Sadly, less than a week ago we received sudden notice that the President was canceling our appointment. “These things happen,” we thought. “President Lariviere is probably devastated that he had to forfeit a half-hour with the Commentator staff in order to glad-hand with some local apparatchik, business notable, or member of the Athletic Department.” We understood, of course; important men frequently are required to do bland, unimportant things to keep the wheels moving, as it were.
That’s why it was with a heavy heart that the Commentator learned what President Lariviere was actually doing instead of hanging out with the Commentator:
I wouldn’t have been surprised to learn you were in a Morbid Angel cover band… but Motley Crüe, Mr. President? That’s just disgraceful.
The price of freedom is eternal photoshop vigilance.
