bashing of the segway and other gifts for the hollidays

[Jessica Boucher]

I saw this post as just a typical college newspaper article that was posted to show the Segway reference, not as something to intentionally start a squabble.

I read once while I was looking at colleges that the best way to get a good reading on how current students felt about their college was to get hold of the newspaper. Of the four colleges I grabbed newspapers at, some articles (especially in their equivalent of what Duke is calling their "Recess" section, where this article is located) had this exact same tone. I wouldn't take articles like this one too seriously, it looks like it was written for comedic effect more than anything else.
