I'm Back

After a long summer hiatus I am once again back at my job of monitoring what is happening at MU. I am also working on a new project, which I will hopefully finish this summer and the results of which will be posted on this blog. The project is to photograph and catalog the location of all DPS security cameras on campus and in the surrounding area. With this information everyone will be able to know for themselves exactly when they are being monitored. They won't just have to rely upon signs saying that they might be monitored, but rather have the ability to know exactly where to look when walking around campus.

I will also continue past crimes at the cafeterias in order to, hopefully, inspire others to take action against the horrifying food conditions. One fun story is that the outbreak of "rotavirus" around two years ago, was not actually rotavirus, but rather was due to undercooked french toast. This conclusion comes from interviews with those who were sick and did not live at Schroeder, meaning that they would not be exposed to the virus, but only ate at the cafeteria. These people, along with those who lived at Schroeder, attested to eating french toast on the same day. Both salmonella and rotavirus have similar symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, all of which were listed as symptoms by MU. The university, in covering its tracks, failed to account for those who became ill but did not live at Schroeder. In addition, since no one became seriously ill, all of those who were infected went only to student health services, which as a branch of the university, was able to publicly anounce that everyone tested positive for rotavirus, and not salmonella. In the future, everyone should think twice before eating food at the cafeterias, because you never know what could have infected the food.
