Not to put a damper on your break or anything, but remember that city-wide crack in the earth that Berkeley was built on top of? Well, cautionary reports about the Hayward Fault getting set to throw a seismic shit-fit just about any year now have galvanized our usually ponderous bureaucracies to get their acts together and provide us with some emergency plans in case we were to, you know, fall into that crack and die.
With that in mind, co-ops and fraternities around the campus have been gifted with six caches of emergency supplies. Helmets, fire extinguishers, crowbars, lights, radios and band-aids to repair your various boo-boos are all represented. Five of the caches will be shared among the fraternities, and the last will be overseen by a northside co-op whose specific identity remains unclear, despite all our best efforts to prove otherwise. Google does fail, kiddies. Sorry to destroy your dreams.
But hey, how about them emergency supplies? Really, we appreciate the effort.
