Editor in chief can't spell to save his life, and thinks all great campus leaders pee
WILDCAT: So, what was your favorite part of the semester? I'll tell you my favorite moment. It was when you spelled the word challenge wrong in a headline.
SCARPINATO: Oh yeah, "challenge" with an "a." Yeah it was a challenge for me to spell that word.
WILDCAT: It's a challenge for you to spell a lot of words.
WILDCAT DESIGN CHIEF, RACHEL RAINBOW: Hey Dan I have a question · Oh are you guys doing On the Spot? Hi!
SCARPINATO: There were just so many memorable moments. My favorite moment was when I ran into Doug Hartz in the bathroom after a Board of Regents meeting.
WILDCAT: That is so weird. You don't think that the president of a university pees?
SCARPINATO: Well, he's not really the president of the university.
WILDCAT: I mean, the student body president of a university. Even the president of a university, I don't think President Likins pees. You just don't want to think that way.
SCARPINATO: No no. I think Doug pees. I think Pete pees. Um · I just think that all the great leaders on campus, including myself, pee.
WILDCAT: That's beautiful. You all worship the porcelain gods. So, Dan, my friend, if I were to make a finger puppet of you, what finger would you want to be? Wait a second, Daniel how many times do you eat a day?
SCARPINATO: (Taking a bite of a hamburger) Six or seven. Donuts are something I eat quite a bit.
WILDCAT: Krispy Kremes or Dunkin' Donuts?
SCARPINATO: As with many things I could go either way. But the Krispy Kremes are kinda hard and they got that, like, glue on them.
WILDCAT: See, I prefer Krispy Kreme.
SCARPINATO: Well, they are kinda corporate. Wait, take that out because I don't want people to think I'm a Socialist.
