For and by Students

The StuCo store is a center for student activities on the Dalat campus. Many students come here during lunch to snack and hang out together. I believe that students enjoy the space and service, but I went to the student center to ask students themselves.

I asked Aaron Worten (10) about what he thinks concerning the store. “I think it’s good,” he tells me. “I like the variety of food.” Whilst he enjoys the atmosphere and food options, he says that other people may feel differently. “Yeah, some people think that they could add more stuff, but I like the variety.”

Another person, Jian Yi Lai (10), gave me a slightly different opinion. “No,” he tells me first off when I ask him if he likes the store. I ask him if he’s serious and he replies, “No, it’s good,” he says more decidedly this time. I ask him about his favorite foods and he tells me that he particularly likes the Shin cup noodles. However, he thinks that StuCo could up their game a little, saying, “They should have more foods. And they run out of food all the time. Like cup noodles. Like Shin cup.” Jian Yi is particularly let down because the Shin cups are his main buy, and he feels that they should generally have more kinds of food to choose from.

Inkyul Kim (10) walks by and sees Jian Yi playing Tetris. I ask him about his opinion, and he says,“It’s alright. Some things are overpriced, but hey, you gotta make a profit.” When I asked if he thinks StuCo has enough kinds of food, he said that he wanted “a little more variety and actual lunch.”

After these interviews, the general sentiment is that people do like the store and are content with the role it provides. However, we all came to an agreement that there is a lack of variety that could be addressed. With StuCo just recently coming out of a long-standing debt, it may be wise for them to consider investing in finding new foods and options to better cater to the student body.

DINGBAT DALAT STUDENT SPENDS PRECIOUS TIME CONJURING UP SELF-REFERENTIAL SENIOR SCRIBBLE RATHER THAN GATHERING LEGITIMATE WORK

By Anonymous
Yusoof Monawvil PENANG, MA - As the deadline drew near and the stars aligned in the night sky above the majestic waters of the Strait of Malacca, one particular Dalat student—Yusoof Monawvil (12), despite a plethora of school events to select and report on—opted instead to spend a remarkably well-wasted 24 minutes staring at a blank Google Docs page, fruitlessly drawing up and shooting down brainstormed ideas.  In a moment of sheer and undeniable epiphany, Monawvil deemed it only fitting to self-referentially satirize his own ingrained incompetence and dingbattery. Commenting on the flash of insight, Monawvil quoted himself, saying: “It all just kinda made sense. I went on DISCourse to look at the little rubric thing Ms. Grad and Mr. Hieber posted, and I checked if I was following all of the guidelines... And I technically am/was; [N]ot like there’s any specific direktive [sic] prohibiting self-quoting.”  In a turn of events, Monawvil did come to find his self-quoting en...

"Spikeball, Swimming, and Sickness: The Remnants of Senior Sneak" by Ee Rynn Ong

By
“Guys, I think we’re here,” said Jonathan Ooi (12) as he peeked out of the lorry to catch the first glimpse of our Senior Sneak location. This year’s Senior Sneak was held in Nomad Adventure, Gopeng, and the organizers planned many activities for the Class of 2026, ranging from traditional games like congkak and batu seremban to adrenaline-pumping ropes courses and whitewater rafting. These scheduled activities proved to be some of the best highlights of the trip, but top of that, the seniors were also given some daily free time to chat, explore, and relax. Josh Stevens (12) had come prepared for this with two spikeball nets, which immediately attracted attention from people eager to spend time in the outdoor sun. The next five days saw spikeball veterans and newcomers alike, spending their precious one and a half hours daily around the unassuming circular net, smashing the yellow ball in hopes of a victory.  Caleb Evans (12) was one of the newbies to spikeball, learning how the g...

“I Miss Her” by Nikhil Pillay

By
While most people had a fun week for mid-semester break, whether it was spent with family, or with friends on impact trips, no one had a more emotionally confusing week than Judson Kenneth Robert Nosker (12).  In the light of recent events, Judson, despite all odds, had gotten in a relationship with one of his classmates, and as the break started, he had started to spend a lot of time with her. While with her, he started to experience a new level of joy and completeness that he had never felt before. In the words of Judson Nosker, “The first half of the break was good, but the rest of it was horrible.”  The reason for such a quote and the roller coaster of emotion was because half way through the break, disaster had struck. Judson’s girlfriend had gone on a trip with her family to Thailand, leaving Judson all alone. For the rest of the week, Judson was in a state of longing for her presence.  His friends have reported numerous occasions when Judson would be sitting with t...
