Me towards you,

We are standing like this
forming a forest
looking at each other,
arms outstretched,
embracing

A Fogel Affair? →
A sensational story about how President Fogel’s wife may have been involved with Mike Schultz, the UVM VP of alumni affairs. (We considered inserting a pun here, but decided against it.)

Congratulations
You made it.
Whether this was your first, fourth (or fifth) year, it’s time for a well-deserved break. To those graduating seniors, maybe this means that the work is only beginning. In that case, good luck to you.
We’ll keep this post short so you can all go home (or wherever you’re going) and get away from Burlington for a few months.
As for us, we might make a post...
Anonymous asked: As a former IRA Executive Board member I must say that I am surprised that Little Bird would simply ask an IRA General Body member. They are nothing more then a tool to add legitimacy to the organization. Any sort of real insider would know that all decisions are made by the Executive Board, especially internal matters concerning corruption and fraudulent spending. Last year Bob demonstrated...

Sing Muse an account:
Towards student spirit, in past ameliorated by sight
For loudest thine once made speech,
through pulchritudinous depiction upon dormitory wall.
Sing of why forsaken wall,
my dearest heavenly adorned brick
was befallen, tattooed, disgraced
by boorish imposter with ill conceived intention
How with speedy yet destructive hand
One marred what thou hath placed.
These...
Anonymous asked: I think you are much to quick to come to the defense of Bob Just. He has a long history of problems both within the SGA and IRA. Have you considered just asking IRA if the rumor is true?
Lame graffiti is lame
I think the companion cube stencils, especially those on that multicolored thang near the tunnel entrance, are very poorly done. It’s one thing to take a creative stencil and place it artistically but it’s another entirely to just repeat a poorly done stencil and not give a shit about whether or not it’s crooked or even placed meaningfully. The person responsible completely...
In Defense of Just
Bob Just is an excellent, student, adviser and friend. The truth is that Bob has in no way over stepped his boundaries when it comes to IRA budget spending and to accuse him of such without proof is just straight up not cool. People are quick to criticize organizations like IRA or the SGA but the real truth of the matter is that if someone has a problem with the way student money is being spent...
Missing a Bike?
Did you live in UHeights and lose a bike in the past few days?!
If so, we might have a solution.
“Check out our new bikes. We just picked ‘em up at UHeights.”

Are these your lost bikes? They were spotted on Redstone Campus yesterday. It’s possible the quote could’ve meant that these two guys had just purchased the bikes from UHeights students,...
Anonymous asked: You should ask the IRA advisor about Bob Just. I think he's the one who misused IRA funds.
Anonymous asked: Is it true that IRA gives out money to students randomly? I heard they paid for one of their members to fly out to an interview for grad school. If that is true that is bullshit. That is student money!
Drowning Finals Sorrows
Classy drinking in the cyber cafe during finals week. Rolling Rock tall boys, not to mention the whole room reaks of cheap-ass beer.
Thank you for your submission.

in regards to your dining hall post..
don’t you think that the school can afford to lose, oh no! 200 utensils a week? i’m an out of stater and i pay almost fifty grand a year, i think i’m entitled to some damn silverware if i’m crafty enough to steal it. its a victimless crime, they need something to spend all that extra cash on anyway…its not like they’re using the food services budget on anything...

Sodexo $70 theft charge is FAKE!
You know that $70 charge that UVM students get for ‘anticipated theft’ from dining locations on campus? It actually doesn’t exist. The rumor that UVM students with a meal plan get charged an extra $70 to make up for stolen goods is just a rumor. There is actually no theft charge!
However, that doesn’t mean that you can steal all you want. Dining halls lose, on average,...
Naked Bike Ride Shout-Outs
Well, it’s over. Hundreds of students biked, ran, or longboarded during this semester’s Naked Bike Ride. And, while we won’t show any pictures or video from this year’s run, we would like to list some of the most creative and noteworthy participants.
-Two students, one dressed up to resemble a naked bin Laden and one dressed as a naked US soldier, ran while pretending to...
warning:creep on the prowl
LADIES WATCH OUT!!! a guy on the hockey team, lets call him ALEX, likes to creep on girls big time! He likes to creep in class, in the hallway, in the lounge, HE IS EVERYWHERE! He may be able to spit some game but he is a CHEATING SCUM BAG! He cheats on his girlfriend probably every weekend. SO IF HE HITS ON YOU CALL HIM OUT ON IT AND MAKE HIM FEEL LIKE A DICK!
Thank you for your submission.

Naked Bike Ride
It has come to that time again, UVM. The semester is practically over, classes have ended, and all that remains are your finals. It is also the time for a long-existing tradition to be celebrated once more.
Of course, we are writing about the naked bike ride. Occurring Wednesday night, mostly on Athletic campus, hundreds of students (many who will be presumably intoxicated) will ride, run, or...
Tuesday Night's Senate Meeting
Hi, little bird. I appreciate your discussion of Tuesday Night’s Senate Meeting. However, I do have a problem with one piece of language from your post. You state, “All of a sudden, when many many many people expressed wishes to address the Senate, a senator (Dale Osef) motioned to end the Senate. He was sick of hearing more irresponsible and disrespectful words from the student...
Unrest in Senate!
Tempers flared after the abrupt conclusion of Tuesday’s SGA Senate meeting, when, during the meeting, students suddenly voted on whether to adjourn for the night.
And it passed.

I love this UVM tumblr idea because I love tumblr haha. Thats disgusting whoever did the red spray paint on the eyes. I doubt it was the same person who did the rest. LETS GET SOME MORE TRINITY PICTURESS
Thank you for your submission.

Spray Paint
The spray paint on campus is awful. Chalk is one thing…it washes away with rain. Spray paint does not. It makes the school look a bit trashy, especially around admitted students days and days of tours. I’m also incredibly bothered by the red spray paint on the eyes of people painted on the mural by L/L. Now, when those employees have to wash away the spraypaint, it will most likely...
ontheupandup asked: Hey Little Bird. I like what you're doing and I've supported you for a while, but the spray paint all over campus isn't cool. I liked the chalk and helped with that, but I think spray paint is bordering on vandalism, and I really don't want to follow you down that road. Also, just as a little reminder because I'm sure you know, the first rule of Tumblr is you do NOT talk...
