Let’s not lie: #Nolivesmatter

I have heard the plebeians grumbling recently about some debate between the hashtags #blacklivesmatter and #alllivesmatter, with some arguing as to which better describes the state of different humans at this juncture. How cute. Once again, the sheeple of the world have herded together around a fire to force us all the sing “Kumbaya” and […]

How to have a debate with your friends

With the 2016 elections looming over everybody, people want to know how they can force their views on others. Many are out of practice since the 2012 election. It’s sad to see how many people disagree, and it’s a competition to see who can convince the most people otherwise. Because of everyone’s lack of practice, […]

Women’s bathrooms: Why are they still a thing?

  Space is a precious commodity in a bustling city like Philadelphia. Real estate that you could buy for a song out in the ‘burbs may well cost you an arm and a leg out here in our city of brotherly all-hours construction. It is for this reason and more that I propose the following: […]

US blood money should be better spent

President Obama recently made a budget proposal with the usual ridiculous ideas that have come to seem normal from the White House over the past seven years, such as reallocating Environmental Protection Agency funding in favor of “public-private partnerships” (corporate sell-outs) or funneling more education money into the hands of fat-cat university presidents like Juan […]

Pies should be triangles not circles

Last month was the annual celebration of Pi Day, an important holiday that’s enjoyed worldwide by math enthusiasts. Interestingly, people who develop severe allergic reactions to a simple 2+2=4 math problem also celebrate Pi Day because of free food. The Pi Day of 2015 is uniquely significant, since 3/14/15, 9:26:53 corresponds to the first 10 […]

Want green space? Blow up Left Bank

Back when I was looking at a bunch of different colleges as a recent GED-recipient, I remember loving everything about Drexel University — except the lack of a quad. Sure, it’s got some great benefits, like a bunch of non-flammable surfaces and having dorms close enough to classes that I can get there while on […]

Drexel purchases Center City mall

I know there’s been a lot of conversation lately about some changes to campus, so I’d like to shed some light on a few of these issues. As the director of Administrative and Business Services, I help make sure Drexel University’s money is being used wisely. Drexel is known for having a vibrant modern urban […]

Fuck all the readers

Dear reader: Fuck you. Fuck you in your fucking face, you fucking fuck. No, seriously. The Rectangle Editorial Board hates every single one of you who wastes space on this planet, and each and every one of you pricks should die in a fire. The truth is, here at The Rectangle, we hate our readers. […]

High tuition should make you happy

Every so often Drexel University notifies us that we owe them money. Of course payment of this money is optional. The other option is to stop attending classes and become the next Steve Jobs. But since Jobs is as dead as this analogy and Apple is well on its way without your assistance, maybe it’s […]

Cats: a serious threat to society

While bread-and-butter Americans are worried about the IRS scandals, the advent of affordable health care and the insidious leftist agenda, a new homegrown threat is lurking in our own homes. Just last week, an Oregon family was held hostage in their bedroom and forced to call 911 after a rabid, 22-pound predator mauled their child. […]
