Speak-out: Students call for tolerance By Sudhin Thanawala
|
|
| |
|
About 60 students braced the
fierce wind Monday afternoon to hear Dean of the
College Freddye Hill, University Protestant
Chaplain Gary Comstock, coordinator of Queer
Alliance (QA) Michael Polson ’01, and Winsor
Schmidt ’01, community service chair for the
Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity (DKE), speak about
homophobia, sexism and racism on campus. The
speak-out sprung from an incident last Tuesday in
which members of the Delta Kappa Epsilon
fraternity (DKE) allegedly chanted "We hate
faggots" in the Butterfield courtyard during
their initiation event.

Picture
Imperfect

Now that student ID photos are
available for faculty reference, the
University’s one-shot picture policy needs
to be reevaluated. The picture that appears on a
student’s ID is either sent in to the school
by the student or taken at the beginning of frosh
year. The same picture is also used for the
Faculty Class Information System, a web-based
resource that gives professors access to pictures
of their students, presumably to assist them with
the name/face matchup.

Milking My Apathy By Aaron Rutkoff
|
|
| |
|
About two years ago I had a
quasi-depressing experience while watching the
Guinness Book of World Records TV Show on Fox.
That night I saw a man snort a good amount of
milk up his nostril and proceed to blast that
nose-milk out of his eye-socket. This was no
amateur eye-milk-propulsion spectacle; the man
was using two percent. But the Guinness people
could not give the man a world record solely for
shooting milk out of his eye because there was no
way to verify that he was the first man to
accomplish such a feat. So they had the
milk-shooter squirt for distance.

Community
garden adds splash of color to Middletown By Lee Glasser
|
|

|
Students trek down William
Street to Atticus regularly and a bit further
down, behind the senior center, sits a colorful
flower and vegetable garden. A haven for local
gardeners, the Middletown Community Garden was
created in September 1998 as a Wesleyan community
service project. Eleven student volunteers began
construction of the garden under the guidance of
Middletown volunteers Steven Kremin-Endes and
Jeff Walberg, who organized the event.

Writers talk of inspiration, hard work By Derek Garcia
|
|
| |
|
"One of the striking
things about Wes students is, no matter what
other interests they might have, a number of them
also have an interest in writing. It’s real
common to bump into an economics or physics major
that still has an interest in writing. It’s
not a freak situation at all."
Anne Greene, adjunct professor of English and
director of the Wesleyan Writers’ Conference

Tennis Trounces Tufts By Joe Adler

|
| |
|
The Wesleyan women’s
tennis team proved last Tuesday that it knows how
to put up a fight, upsetting Tufts University at
home with a 5-4 win. Facing defeat after losing
two of three doubles matches, and two of four
singles matches, Wesleyan (2-4) benefited from
the big-time play of Brianne Blumenthal ’00
and Allison Rovner ’02, who fought ensuing
darkness to win their respective matches and seal
the victory.

Football
blows lead but recovers to topple Bates By David Ly
|
|
| |
|
Thirteen was anything but
unlucky for star wide receiver Matt Perceval
’00 and the football team that took on Bates
College Saturday. Perceval caught 13 passes for
227 yards and three touchdowns, including the
game-winner and the Cardinals held on in overtime
to beat an improved Bates team 36-29 for the
thirteenth consecutive time. "[Perceval] is
probably the best offensive weapon in the whole
league," said quarterback Jake Fay ’00.
