College McCarthyism

Radical Right-Wing Organizations who seek to undermine academic freedom by censuring professors and institutions that don’t agree with them. Their biggest targets are state run colleges that could easily be punished state and federal budget cuts. Right wing activist who support these beliefs tend to covertly operate under the name of Academic Freedom. Especially since they tend to like playing the martyr when the opposition retaliates against them.
These groups and organizations tend to make the crazy claim that professors that teach the positive and negative aspects of history have anti American agenda.
College groups that support College McCarthyism tend to go around play a form of thought Police in which they investigate professor’s and college staff’s voting records and report any professors that teach classes that expose the abusive history of the Far Right.
Among the ideas of these far right wing groups is to pass a Anti-Academic-Freedom Bill of Rights.

Among the College McCarthism organizations are

Students for Academic Freedom

Accuracy in Academia

College McCarthyism supporters tend to get a huge amount of their funding from Neo Conservative Organizations.

Corcoran College of Art and Design

Used to be Corcoran School of Art when I went there, a 4-year bachelor's degree and certificate offering school, teaching fine arts, photography, and graphics. A definite party school, even though a very small school, where students smoke pot on the fire escape, use hallucinogens, and drink Natty Bo. A lot of the teachers are ex-hippie types, but they are actually very good artists, and you can get a great education if you are motivated to do so. Now has expanded to offer Master's degrees and programs in various arts areas not mentioned previously. Located in Northwest DC near the White House (considered the best, safest quadrant of DC).
I was constantly high when I went to classes at the Corcoran College of Art and Design, but my teachers and classes were so good, I actually became a good artist.

The Party Scene
The Mount offers a wide variety of parties. The sports team act of though they are fraternities and each seem to have a competition to who can throw the best bash. The rugby team is known for the weekend keggers, the lax team is known for the roofie parties, the baseball team for their jungle juice and soccer parties at the townhouses. The best times we have are at theme parties that range from ceo-secartary hoes to 8th grade dance party. The adminstration knows all this campus does is drinks so they provide after-parties but we all show up for the free pizza drunk off our asses.

Kenyon College

A school where diversity is internal, and if ever external, it is defined by a bright colored plaid shirt as opposed to a bland grey one. People are quirky, yet pretentious and the girls are infamously unattractive. Beer googles are a must for everyone on a Wednesday, Friday, or Saturday night. Professors drink and smoke with students all the while discussing the latest underground bands and their impression on popular culture. Anthropology is the easiest major at Kenyon, but English is most widely declared. The football team sucks.
Artur: What's your major?
Jesika: Well, I just declared English with a minor in Russian and an emphasis with on Sociology in Comparative Perspective.

Artur: Kenyon College?

John: What's your favorite play?
Alan: Ot-ello.
John: Othello.
Alan: Yes, Ot-ello.

old college try

Giving something your best shot, even if you aren't sure how to do it.
i.e. Mrs. Victoria Landers' way of saying, "I haven't taught you how to do this, and even if I did, you wouldn't understand it. But anyways, here you go!" Attempting the "old college try" always results in uncontrolled rage and frustration rather than learning. This condition is only augmented by trying to find help in the textbook, "Calculus: Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic," possibly the epitome of a horrible textbook.
Mrs. Landers: "Just give it the old college try and you'll learn it."

Disgruntled student: "FUCK YOU MRS. LANDERS. I haven't learned shit all semester, and doubt I'm going to start learning by giving it the old college try like your whore ass tells me to." (Flips the bird)
