I was looking for information about Carleton construction the other day, and I stumbled upon a great website with all kinds of historical Carleton information. Among other things, it has a number of photographs with historical and current day comparisons.

There’s also a forum called Cobwebs where members of the Carleton community discussed trivia and history. Some of the discussions have gems hidden in them.

We’ve all heard the legends of Joe Fabeetz, the fictional student who won CSA Senate elections with a write in campaign started in a Carletonian article. Here is the complete Fabeetz platform, thanks to the Cobwebs website:

Education.  Have you ever been burned trying to know her?  Raw sex, as they say, is better than cooked.  Look around you.  If you’ve any taste left at all you’ll realize that there’s no taste left at all. The once raw flesh is now bland and overcooked.

We devour whatever is put before us.  The wild game in the bush is the best to be had, but it is to be pursued, not plopped down before us on a platter, cooked and dressed.  We may consume great knowledge, but we never really taste it.

Pre-meds have become the slaughtered scapegoat of our hungry frustrations, perhaps because there the irony is most apparent.  Where now is the life?  All the vital forces have been drained away, our selves embalmed with deterministic mechanism.  But I’m talking of more than just biology; the humanities too have lost their humanity.  We are taught to grovel in the dust of ages, worshipping the earth once walked upon.  As for myself, I’m not just running for CSA senate; I’m running for my life…for my reality.
