News and Notes
OBIEWeb Upgrade
The Oberlin Alumni On-Line Community is undergoing some exciting upgrades!
Beginning in early February 2004, many OBIEWeb features will be enhanced—including
the online alumni directory.
These upgrades will allow users to create
a "personal pals" instant messaging
list, an ObieMatch section to identify Oberlinians in your city who share
similar interests, and many more new
features. We hope to minimize any inconvenience to users during the
upgrade process, but should interruptions occur, please contact the Alumni
Office at
alumni.office@oberlin.edu or
(440) 775-8692, and/or visit OBIEWeb
at www.oberlin.edu/alumni.
Music Matters
Magnetic Fields, Sleater Kinney, XBXRX, and Black Keys are some of the
most sought-after bands on the college music circuit. That groups of
this caliber make it a point to play in Oberlin caught the eye recently
of
Spin Magazine, which rated Oberlin as having the "Best Concert Board." The
award was announced in the October issue's First Annual Spin Campus
Awards. Behind Oberlin's musical scene are three campus organizations:
Concert Board, the Student Union Programming Committee, and Program
Board, which researches and books the popular acts
that play at campus venues. "Oberlin has
a good reputation with bands," says Concert Board member Chris Baker '05. "It's
established as being a great place
to play a show."
