Daily news editor Jer- emy Davidson spent a great deal of time researching the histo- ries and early results of new policies regard- ing Greek life on our campus which have received mixed reviews. Y hndom: Hello? The Michigan Daily: Hi, is Colleen there? R: No, can I take a message? TMD: Is this her roommate? R: Yes, it is. TMD: What's your name? R: Katie. TMD: Well I have great news, you've been selected to do the Ran- dom Student Interview for the Mich- igan Daily. Do you have a couple of minutes? R: YEAH! TMD: Excited I see. First ques- tion: Do you watch the Olympics? R: Heck yes. TMD: Why? What draws you to the Olympics? R: They're kind of weird sports that you don't usually watch that often. TMD: What country are you root- ing for? R: Uh, the United States. TMD: I think I'm rooting for Lat- via after they tied the United States hockey team tonight. R: Yeah, I was like, "Oh my gosh, Latvia." TMD: I don't know if you know much about them but they're pretty awesome. Do you know who Arman- do dos Santos is? R: No. TMD: Would you believe me if I said he was a Brazilian bobsledder who was sent home for using ste- roids? R: Sure, that's sad. TMD: What do you think about Brazil having a bobsledding team? R: It's like that movie "Cool Run- nings" right? TMD: Would you believe me if I told you their team was inspired by "Cool Runnings"? R: Wow, that's cool. TMD: It is. Do you think they got a fat, white guy like John Candy to be their coach? R: Probably not.kButvmaybe, because John Candy liked overdosed and now this guy's taking steroids. See that drug connection? TMD: It's a conspiracy. "The Mighty Ducks" inspired the pro hockey team. What do you think about the pro team not being Mighty next year anymore? R: They're just going to be the Ducks? I don't really like them any- way so I guess it's OK. TMD: But why don't they want to be mighty? R: Well, if you have to say you're mighty, you're probably not that mighty. TMD: Yeah, over-compensa- tion. Guys do that a lot. What's your favorite Olympic sport? R: Um, snowboarding. TMD: I like curling. R: I hate curling. It's just so stu- pid. TMD: But it's just a giant game of shuffleboard on ice. What game would you like to see gigantic? R: Um ... TMD: What about checkers where you have to leapfrog people to get them out? How about Monopoly? R: Yeah, because then, since I'm always the car when I play Monop- oly, I could drive around in a Rolls Royce. TMD: Where do you think they'd play a game of giant Monopoly? R: California, you can do any- thing there. TMD: Yeah, like cross dressing. Do you think Michelle Kwan is a quitter? R: No. Now we've got that cute new girl that was on "Project Run- way." Do you watch "Project Run- way"? TMD: I do not, but I'm asking you the question, not the other way around. Next question. R: Well, you should watch it tonight. TMD: I'm probably not going to. I think Michelle Kwan is a quitter because there was this Russian fig- ure skater, dropped on her head four years ago, and she won the gold this year. R: She kicks ass. TMD: So we've concluded that Michelle Kwan is a quitter. How did you spend your Valentine's Day? R: I didn't have a good Valentine's Day? TMD: You were alone? R: My boyfriend is like 45 min- utes away. TMD: That's so sad. Did you cry yourself to sleep? R: No. TMD: That would've been funny. I would've laughed at you. What's your favorite poetic meter? R: My what? What is poetic meter? TMD: For example, Shakespeare wrote in iambic pentameter. It's the amount of syllables and accents in a line. R: Can you make this multiple choice? TMD: Fine. Different kinds of beat: trochee, dactyl and iamb. R: The first one sounded cool. TMD: Yeah trochees are pretty cool. Could you compose me a haiku on the spot? R: How are the syllables. TMD: Seven, five, seven. R: Random interview / Wow, just called my phone tonight / That is very cool. TMD: That's pretty good. If you could write a fortune cookie, what would it say? R: It would probably just say: Have a great day. TMD: That's not really a fortune. R: Um, I don't know. These are real- ly obscure questions. My roommate got this before and he asked her if she wanted to make out. I'm kind of disap- pointed that I'm not getting make-out interviews. This is kind of stressful. TMD: Next question: What do you think about the guy that pro- posed to Mary Sue? R: Oh, that was nice that he did that but it was kind of lame. TMD: Lame? I would say weird. R: It's not very nice of you to say that. I don't like saying mean things about people. TMD: Saying mean things about people is hilarious. Your entertain- ment at the expense of other people is what it's all about. Are you still a little worried about the red scare? R: What's the red scare? TMD: Communist invasion?
