my school does this stupid event each year called "sleep out on the quad" and the intention is to "raise awareness" for homelessness. they do things like have cardboard box mansion building contests, have t-shirts to prove that you totally understand what it's like to be homeless, and now they are selling the leftover t-shirts that say something like "I Slept Out on the Quad" and 2009 or something equally dumb.
i'm wondering if other schools do anything as ridiculous as this?
