Five questions, round 2

Thursday, May 8, 2008

Who would win in a fight: A pirate or a ninja?

Adam McGonigle, Wichita sophomore and student body president-elect: The pirate, because pirates typically have hooks that are connected to their hands, and ninjas carry swords, which can be taken out of their hands.

Dan Donovan, Western Springs, Ill., senior: The pirate. They have guns.

Which television show are you most excited to see back on the air after the end of the writer’s strike?

A.M.: The Office. It’s my favorite show, and I relate it to the Student Senate office a lot. Although, I hope the parallels between Michael and myself aren’t too strong.

D.D.: Rescue Me on FX.

When you were younger, what did you want to be when you grew up?

A.M.: A weatherman, because I was always fascinated by storms.

D.D.: A basketball player. I watched a lot of basketball as a kid, and they seem like the most fun guys to hang out with.

What change do you most want to see made at KU?

A.M.: I hope many of our platform issues, which related mostly to parking, safety and campus convenience issues.

D.D.: The comics in the newspaper, because they’re horrible. It’s like they’re not even trying anymore.

What motto do you live your life by?

A.M.: “Time’s fun when you’re having flies.”

D.D.: “Don’t sweat the small stuff.”

Can't stop thinking about ninjas & pirates
