BAKER LAB–When Elliot Sandleford ‘26 finally settled on his spring semester lineup, he expected his course-related troubles to be over. “I spent weeks rearranging my Scheduler,” said Sandleford. “I had to get it exactly right, where I would have 8:00 AM labs every morning but also somehow no time to eat lunch.”
Although the Arts and Sciences sophomore struggled to resolve a conflict between SWAHL 2102: Intermediate Swahili II and VETMI 7405: Fleas and Lice, he eventually assembled a functional roster of labs, lectures and discussion sections. Unfortunately, this task involved a number of drops and swaps that seem to have rubbed his Computer Science instructors the wrong way.
“Yeah, I did shuffle my discussion section around a few times,” admitted Sandleford sheepishly. “I mean, I changed it twice before classes started, so 201-DIS and 202-DIS were, like, not even a thing– like, it was just a talking stage. I guess I showed up for 215-DIS last week, but I feel like I was up-front that I was messing with 208-DIS at the time, so it’s sort of the TA’s fault if he got too attached.”
It wasn’t until this week that Elliot noticed something felt off in his lecture. “When I came in Tuesday morning, the professor was glaring at me. At first I thought I was imagining it, but yesterday I opened the class’s canvas homepage and there was a big picture of my face at the top with ‘DIRTY WHORE’ bolded over it in big red text.”
Elliot says he’s afraid this incident might affect his likelihood of getting into future classes– and maybe even affiliating with his majors. “I just don’t want anyone to think I’m disloyal,” mumbled Sandleford, looking down at his shoes. “I guess it’ll all blow over as long as no one finds out I hooked up with my TA.”
