	Column: everything happens to me                A million halves to everything  By Michael Leviton
		I remember kids in elementary school used to describe their ethnicity saying they were "half Italian and half Jewish and half Mexican and half Polish," even though there can only be two halves to any one thing. I was always the one to tell them they were talking quarters (or whatever the relevant fraction was: fifths, eighths), not halves. I wish I hadn’t told them that. It’s nice that kids talk that way. I think it’s accurate. There really are about a million halves ... More

	Don’t Miss Mars and Mercury By Emily Lu
		The planets are the brightest objects in our sky, excluding the Moon and the Sun. As you know by now, the planets’ brightness and non-twinkling appearance distinguish them from other celestial bodies. You’ve become old friends with Jupiter and Saturn, and have seen them wander through the sky. Now you can learn a little bit ... More

 

	Road Buddies Bike for Humanity By Rebecca Schiff
		It’s a medley of Wesleyan fantasies — to travel cross-country with friends, to exert one’s self physically and to do good for humanity at the same time.

	Editorial By Luke Del Tredici & Aaron Hilliard
		This editorial is intended as an apology to Mr. Abe Katz-Milder. For those of you who don’t read the Argus on Fridays, Abe is the freshman who wrote a Wespeak accusing the Ampersand of "crossing the line" by printing racially insensitive material. We would like to offer our sincerest apologies to Abe, not because we feel bad that we offended him, but only because we attached his name to a Wespeak...  More

 
 

	the amper guide to dealing with death By Luke Del Tredici & Aaron Hilliard
		If in the past it’s seemed as though we’ve crossed the line with our comedy, it was only because that’s what we believe comedy is–crossing the line and pushing the envelope. To prove this point, we took a single story idea and explored it twice. Once with our typical (and somewhat offensive) edge, and then again without the edginess that prompted Abe to not write that Wespeak... More

	Losses darken post- season picture for men’s basketball By Julian Marks
		A dreadful feeling of deja vu has struck the men’s basketball team–in the first of two losses over the weekend, it seemed history had certainly repeated itself. After a slow start against Colby last Saturday, the Cardinals came back to take a halftime lead. They lost ground again after the break, but eventually pulled back into the game, tying it up with three seconds remaining on a three-point shot by Joe Griffin ’00... More

 
 

	Cardinal women’s basketball struggles against Tufts, Bates By Jessica Angell
		The home court advantage was not enough this weekend for the Wesleyan women’s baskball team (8-12). Though the players held their own defensively, they came up short in the struggle against Tufts on Friday and then against Bates the next day. Friday night’s game against the Jumbos delivered the high intensity level... More
