IOWA CITY—Several hours into the Spring semester, University of Iowa sophomore Jenny Struck has so far upheld her commitment not to skip any classes this semester.
On Tuesday, Struck reportedly made it to her 8:30 Interpretation of Literature class a few minutes early so she’d have time to browse the class’s assigned literary anthology. Later on Tuesday, classmates report Struck was one of the first students in the Macbride Hall auditorium for her 10:55 Intro to Environmental Science class.
“If I don’t get at least C’s this semester, my dad said I’ll have to study abroad in Brussels instead of Paris next fall,” said Struck, a French minor. “One of my sorority sisters told me only poor girls go to Brussels.”
Struck’s commitment to limit her nights out to three per week could be challenged in the next few days. On Wednesday, The Summit is hosting comedy night; on Thursday, some of the girls from the Burge 2400s are going to Sports Column; on Friday, some shitty local bands are playing at Blue Moose; and on Saturday, Beta Theta Pi is allegedly hosting a “sick-ass party” with bootlegged Four Loko.
