[Count Istvan Teleky]

Familiarize yourself with the story of Icarus.

It's a classic case of hubris.

They were not content to hold their place between earth and sky, and flew to close to sun.

For a school that prides itself on teaching the antiquities, this lesson clearly escaped them.

You give them too much credit There is no need for literate allusions...it's just a matter of aging bourbon-soaked alumni cowing feckless administrators and cheating their ass off to try to regain some sixties glory. Corrupt Dickie Scruggs types and spineless Vitter types... not a good look for a college.

Unlike the Phoenix , Shitbirds do not rise from the flames. They lay there like turds and stink like only steaming hot shitbirds can stink.

Instead of the sun it's the bright spotlight over the Stripper Pole.
