OJ reports today:
Yaser Alamoodi, Party Animal
Yesterday we noted that Yaser Alamoodi, the Saudi president of Arizona State University's student government, is urging a ban on students posing for Playboy and similar magazines on the ground that ASU's image as a party school is harmful to its academic reputation.
In October 2004 Alamoodi gave an interview to the New Times, a Phoenix alternative weekly. It seems that with a presidential debate coming to town, the FBI had visited Alamoodi to conduct some prophylactic questioning, which gave rise to this exchange in the New Times interview:
NT: If they do come back, just ask them to take you out to dinner that night. You'll have the perfect alibi: "I couldn't have bombed the presidential debates; I was out to dinner with the FBI."
Alamoodi: I'm all dangerous now. Man, I haven't gotten laid so much in my life as I did after 9/11.
NT: So all at once you were hot with white chicks after September 11?
Alamoodi: Girls always confuse sympathy with sex. And guys are always up for it. And I'm not gonna say no.

Good to see someone is upholding ASU's reputation as a serious academic institution.
