Dumpster Diving: A Moral Imperative and Right

In the latest controversy to erupt among the freshmen rockers and upperclassmen at WCC is the question of the moral imperative of "dumpster diving".
A fellow student rocker caught on camera last night in the hunt for eternal glory

Launched last night by St Athanasius prefect Fay, a movement has begun to achieve fame, glory, and justice along with the personal benefit of nice new pants. As the school official wrote: 

Also, the dumpster behind Eagle Uniform Supply is overflowing with practically-brand-new Dickies, jeans, and some Carhartt pants. I scored some really nice jeans out of there this evening. So check it out if you are so inclined.

Pax,

Pete
So, some freshmen rockers took him up on it in the quest for justice and the artifact "forms" of nice clothes:
Be warned:
Being the poor college student that I am, I did feel inclined to do a bit of gentlemanly "dumpster shopping" earlier this evening. Yet, I hadn't even popped the lid when a fella across the street came strolling out and threatened to call the cops if I didn't get off his property. Seems to him that the dumpster was on a privately owned parking lot, and his boss said no-one was allowed to go through his trash. I left respectfully, yet I still doubt that the dumpster was actually on private ground. I did see several excellent pairs of jeans in there, so if any of you feel like you still want to risk it, by all means, go ahead. But watch out for a gentleman with a black beard. 
With this risk identified, a sophomore wrote a warning email:
FYI, I highly suggest not hitting this stash right now. The staff of the store do not want us looking through their dumpster, and, unfortunately, they have that right as it is on their property. If too many more groups of us come through, I don't doubt that they will take more drastic measures to prevent it.
But another sophomore stood his ground for justice:
I'll see your black beard and raise you a brooding-possibly-Arab face.
While yet another view was added in support of dumpster diving, but rather, in the hotel dumpster:
There might still be some clothes in the hotel dumpster. Thanks Nemec! 
Still hoping for the grand prize of brand new Carharts, Leo's resident Belken investigated the legal ramifications that surround this concept:
I still say that it seems reasonable to go for it, if you're up for that sort of thing. America throws enough stuff away, if someone's just sending something to the landfill and you have a use for it, it would be hard to fault you for preventing the waste. This isn't even being cheap. You could consider such an action to be practical... Responsible, even. If your conscience tells you you can set foot on what is supposedly company property to save perfectly good items, I'm not the one to tell you that you shouldn't do that. It may be a great moral option. This isn't to say that it would be legal or that I'm suggesting that you do anything that is questionable in the eyes of the law, but you could see the dumpster situation in the light I've proposed. It certainly wouldn't be stealing, as the company has waived their right to the items in question...
Moved by his stirring words, passions began to arise, for justice, and... for self interest as another prefect Joshua T. Mireles of John's states:
Belkin is on to something.
Further investigating, Belken found evidence of illegalities in the dumpster's owner's themselves, while removing all legal qualms from the actions and hopes of the "fellow student rockers:
Furthermore, I found a rad zoning map.
The main thing to note is that the dumpster appears to be on public property, which should further allay any qualms about trespassing.
Please note the public alleyway that is blocked by the tractor trailers. That's potentially not legal, incidentally.   
Uncovering a zoning map, shown here on the left, Belken proved that not only is it legal to access said clothing supply, but in fact, the men who attempted to frighten off the fellow student rockers of WCC might in fact have been engaging in the horrendous illegality of blocking the public right of way with improperly placed vehicles.

Freshmen rocker Sponseller fully suggests action now, "How can people act in such a horrific way when children are starving in Africa. Justice demands that we take everything we find!"

Irkutsk Ice Truckers officially agrees, and is offering for today only, free ice-truck delivery of any and all items freshmen rockers find in and around Lander.

New Serious WCC Freshman Endeavor

Freshmen Anne and Emily, aiming to redeem opinions of the Class of 2022 from being solely satirical and unserious, have launched a serious project, a blog named the Barnabus Project About it: The Barnabas Project is a blog by and for the Wyoming Catholic College class of 2022. It’s a kind of combined lit-mag and indie coffee shop; it’s a site for philosophical musings on what we’re reading and thinking about, photography from our vacations, poetry and short stories, or basically anything. A little background: at the end of COR, we had a program at campfire called The Barnabas Project in which we, in a way, prepared to face the challenges of being a student. As we face the challenges of summer, this blog will be a small oasis of WCC culture against the tumultuous ocean of the wider world. Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter. — Izaak Walton   View it here: https://wyclassof2022.home.blog/ To contribute (if you're a Freshmore ), find Anne's email ...

Ban the Joe: Get Joe to Come Here

The symbol of the cause Many WCC students are mourning the loss of Joe B. to University of Dallas. A promising member of the spring Founders draft, many were looking forward to him joining the Class of 2023. Banjo Guy as he is called, has reportedly committed to attending the University of Dallas near his Texas hometown, in a decision largely predicated upon the attendance there of many of his friends. But never fear, it's not too late! "It's not up to him whether he comes or not," was the simple conclusion from a high-level meeting of the new WCC Future Student Decision Council. Simply, that means that as everyone wants him here, he can't just decide to go elsewhere. Everyone wants him to come here, but how, one might ask, do we change this horrible decision? There are multiple ways to be sure, but to begin, we're collecting signatures as part of a national BAN-JO campaign. Ban does not mean ban in the typical sense of disallowing, but is h...
