I walked into Rollins for the first time last year with the perception that the freedom and the tranquil atmosphere that the college exuberated would somehowmake me feel right at home. I failed to see these things and instead was left mesmerized by the lack of diversity present on campus. So I did what any other college student would do. No, not go out and drink my sorrows away.

On Monday, Oct. 5, students and faculty joined MSA to celebrate Eid al-Fitr.

The MSA celebration was defined by exceptional food, great -company, and notable entertainment- Little Mosque on the Prairie. Students described the-show as "surprisingly funny" and "a bit hokey, but nevertheless, very entertaining."

If The Jerry Springer Show had a one-night stand with Facebook, their illegitimate child would be Juicy Campus. Last weekend, students campus-wide received an email from Student Government President Marissa Germain, warning us of the libelous site, JuicyCampus.com. An upset parent informed the Provost of the site, at which point SGA was notified and responded. However, the majority of campus didn't even know about the site until after the email. Now Juicy Gampus joins Facebook among the top visited sites on campus. It is overflowing with ludicrous libel and unverified gossip, revealing painfully intimate details of our peers' personal lives. The sites popularity should come as no surprise as college students thrive on gossip. It is an addiction and when it comes to scavenging for a fix, guys and girls are equally guilty. Now Rollins has a new ruthless gossip-dealer, Juicy Campus. Matt Ivester, a Duke alumnus and a former fraternity president, created the site as an outlet for anonymous free speech. History class must have left out the part about our founding fathers just wanting to talk smack about jocks and hoes when they created the first amendment. Ivester has gone to great lengths to keep his identity secret, much like the threads on the site, ft is speculated that he is most likely hiding, so he will not be slapped with dozens of lawsuits of libel. This is not the case; Juicy Campus and other websites are protected by the Communications Decency Act of 1996, which protects publishers from liability to libel posted by third party users, such as the college students posting on Juicy Campus. Ivester also promises anonymity for Juicy Campus users, placing them under the umbrella of protection. A victim would have to present a "lawful subpoena" to The notorious website, Ju reveal the IP address of an anonymous poster in order to prosecute. Juicy Campus claims that it would respond to a legitimate case, but no such case has presented itself yet. College with am The site flaunts its cowardice in its FAQs section, boasting "We at Juicy Campus are not keeping track of who you are or what you post. In fact, we prefer not to know who you are. We like to think that famous people like Justin Timberlake and Beyonce are using our site." Yes, Beyonce is writing about what girls can't keep their legs closed at Rollins College. Opinions vary greatly across campus. Some agree with the creator; it is free speech and should be allowed. Others want the site banned from campus access. A few see it as a joke—Ashley Green, a Latest- The Facts sophomore who works for IT says "I frankly think the site is hilarious. The things that are said on there are so ludicrous that it is impossible to imagine who takes it seriously... This may prove that the campus has the collective maturity of a 15-year old girl/' By: Evie Lyras It seems the majority of our student body recognizes the detrimental implications of using such a site. We're destroying our celebrated sense of community. Picture a campus where everyone is looking over their shoulder, paranoid about who posted about them on some frivolous website. Like a real life Spill the Juice Here. episode of "Gossip Girl", but without the comfort of one-hour plot resolutions. Better yet, picture one of your prospective employers or close professors stumbling upon embellished rumors about you on juicy Campus.

5 There are some pleasures in life that come at the expense of others. Lighting up a cigarette in a/ group of small children, seeing how long you can go without touching the wheel, and punching exif signs in Sutton when blackout drunk come to mind. There is now a much simpler way of acquiring thrills associated with base vulgarity: Juicy Campus. Juicycampus.com, created by Duke Alumnus Matt Ivester, functions as a one stop spot for all the libelous and 100% untrue and unfounded gossip and rumors. You can discuss "who the biggest sluts are," which gentlemen are unfortunately endowed, and of course, "which R.A.'s you want to bang." This has caused quite an uproar among some students on campus, mostly girls, whose feelings have been sufficiently hurt by anonymous dirt. Somebody call the waaahmbulance. Marissa Germain, president of the Student Government Association, recently sent a campus-wide email regarding this phenomenon. In the letter, she defames the good name of Juicy Campus and states, "I believe that our student body is better than that and won't support something that empowers the cowardly to be malicious." I take an oppositional stance. I believe that our student body is ready to have some good anonymous internet fun that empowers even the most empty-headed gossip queens. has proceeded to infect Rollins Marissa's attempt to "do something" will ultimately backfire, just as it has on other college campuses where supposed leaders have spoken out against the site. Her e-mail, and (hopefully) this article, will I controversial gossip only increase awareness of the site, bringing in curious parties who will ultimately become addicted to the juice. ling you with information America was founded on the principal that you can say whatever you want, making Juicy Campus 8 into this juicy apple more American than apple pie. People will most likely attempt to argue against me and Juicy Campus saying, "well you haven't been affected by the site—no one is making fun of you." My name actually comes up quite a few times. Under a post entitled "girls that can't keep their f—ing legs shut," someone informs the campus that "Danny Travis is always D.T.F." I am also mentioned in the post "Which R.A/s do U wanna bang?" The funny thing is I am neither a lady nor an RA. One day I plan on running for public office. I plan to run on the platform of "Let's remove the stick that is so firmly lodged in our asses." I think this platform would have many sympathizers. The problem, however, is a large crop of Facebook pictures deems me virtually unemployable and unelectable to a position of even the lowest esteem. But now I must focus on spreading the message on a smaller scale. My message is important because our stick is large and prickly. A wiser man than I once said, "If you can't handle the juice, then don't squeeze the fruit." No one is forcing your eyes upon this site. It is very easy to avoid typing ww^y^kycai¥>pMS,C€goft into your browser. Let the children have their fun and stop taking mindless internet retardation so seriously.

But ment." is Juicy Campus really the pandemic that the school believes that it is? To determine the effect of the website, I interviewed many people over the weekend on their views eluding requests to the site's operators and student-government- of the effects of the website. The results were shockingly varied in response. However, due to the uncertain nature of this debate, they wished to remain anonymous. y's attorney general launched a consumer fraud investigation into At the core of the debate is the idea of rumors in general. There are many different views on rumors; ite. some people use them as a source of information, while others simply find them despicable.

Despite the ugliness of •rumors, is it possible that the school overreacted? After investigating the place where they could share their stories," said Matt Ivester, the site, I found that it was not as bad as it could have been. Besides three or four inappropriate posts, most of the posts were something that you would see on any public domain; things such as "which profs °ple who demand censorship," he said in response to calls he has would you bang" and "who's hottest" are going to be present no matter where you go online.
