ENGLISH MAJORS PLEDGE TO VOTE DEMOCRAT IN RESPONSE TO COLLEGE REPUBLICANS’ EMAIL TYPOS

ENGLISH-PHILOSOPHY BUILDING—All University of Iowa students received an email from the UI College Republicans Monday that sparked a vehement grammatical reaction from the University’s English majors.

The email from the College Republicans, under the subject “Conservative Coming Out Week,” was riddled with such offensive typos as who’s/whose confusion; missing or misplaced commas; unnecessary, missing, or misplaced apostrophes; and even the article “a” before the word “animal.”

English majors, despite being already predominantly left-wing, responded with a wave of announcements via blogs and sidewalk chalk of their intentions to vote exclusively democrat in all upcoming elections.

COLLEGE REPUBLICANS’ MEMBERSHIP SWELLS FOLLOWING ELECTION SEASON

IOWA CITY—Leaders from the university’s only conservative political group say they’re seeing record numbers at their weekly meetings.

“At the beginning of the year we only had three names on our e-mail list,” College Republicans President Sherry Torp said. “After the election in November, we now have ten.”

Republicans fared well across the country in 2010, winning several gubernatorial elections and making gains in the U.S. Congress.

Said University of Iowa political science professor Tom Bagel, “It’s fairly common to see a political movement attract followers after electoral wins, but for a political group’s numbers to triple in a few short months is unprecedented on this campus.”

At the time of reporting, at least four of the addresses on the College Republicans e-mail list were registered under Torp’s name.
