When rows of white canopy tent-things crop up around campus, we kind of break into a cold sweat of dread, because those tents usually accompany irritatingly self-promoting, inconveniently crowd-producing events like Cal Day. So–naturally–when we noticed that the structures were up again today, we were forced to painfully extend the eye-roll of anti-conformist elitism that we usually commit when we pass the blight on our fair campus that is the Campaign for Berkeley mural.

Unfortunately, we probably could have spared our sockets the strain, because we’re not invited to the event for which the canopies had been erected. According to its web site, the California Forum for Diversity in Graduate Education is no longer accepting online registration. Which implies that registration is necessary. And, apparently, registration is now impossible. Ergo, we’re not invited. Well, now we’re just pissed that we’re being excluded. Sigh.
