From a Facebook group I was invited to numerous times:

While I think the W@NY program is really cool in various senses (big city life, great internships, small community, etc.) I’ve always felt as though those lucky dozen or so kids each year receive ten times as much money put into them compared to another abroader. (Not including Oxford, because the dollar stinks and is killing us) I know the Oxford program requires interviews, recommendations, etc…. but I was always kind of… confused as to how they chose who.
I mean, it seems awesome and all, but again, I wonder how many dollars are being put into those kids. Wouldn’t it be better we spread the wealth more democratically and grab us a couple of up and coming professors instead? Gave club sports some helath insurance slash gas money slash *anything*? Improved the health center (I’m still bitter over the ASTRONOMICAL price of birth control on campus. Bring back the $10 a month!) Or some towels for the bathrooms? I’m tired of drying my hands on my jeans. I could go on…

An off-topic note-in-a-bottle tossed into the turbulent ocean of dkane.
If any reader is within striking distance of the St Martin’s Lane, go to see ENO’s ‘The Merry Widow’.
This opera can be enjoyed without the usual pre-performance hour of notes delivered by Swart on the Baroque tradition involving animated discussion by him and 3 whiskey sodas for me.
Sung in English rather than Pontenegrian, the music captures from the upbeat until the Act III curtain comes down. The performers, all singer/actors, are excellent, the sets and dancing and stage pictures gladden the heart, and the book in English translation is very, very funny.
This production is a loveletter from the ENO to their opera audience! Swart was enthusiastic and that is a two-edged sword, believe me.
I am going out to add to my collection of the 1907 Pontenegrian 10 and 20 florin
horse same-day-delivery sets.
This bottle is being sealed with a champagne cork from Maxim’s and will be washed up, one can only hope, to a reader in need of some frivolity after recent discussions on the shale of the blogside.

A Junior–most bathrooms at Williams do have towels. This was a big deal my sophomore year, and a CC rep worked fairly hard to make sure that there were towels in bathrooms (I think all bathrooms shared by more than 4 people, at least). Did they take the towels out? I know Greensense wasn’t thrilled with the towels, but I’d be surprised if they persuaded the school to remove them after the school had gone to the trouble of installing them.
