News An armada
of students, armed with stickers and petitions, applauded members of the
Standing Committee On Pluralism and Equality (SCOPE) Thursday morning
as administrators, faculty members and student representatives made their
way into the office of the Dean of Students. The third in a series of
hastily called meetings concerning the fate of the College Multicultural
Resource Center, yesterdays conversation focused on establishing
the process through which to negotiate the centers future. Arts
Seniors Peter Cairns and Peter OLeary and the rest of the cast and
crew of Sibling Ribaldry have been working excruciatingly hard this semester
raising money, building a gigantic wooden box, outfitting it with security
cameras and microphones, designing audio software, experimenting with
prosthetic make-up, improvising, writing, rehearsing, researching archaic
forms of European theater and the theory of comedy and trying to marry
two potentially hostile art forms. And they have one main goal in mind:
entertaining the heck out of an Oberlin audience. Sports The Oberlin
softball team got a boost of confidence last week, then fell just shy
of pulling off their first conference victory this week. Perspectives To the Editors: While going
about my business this Saturday as I normally do, I happened to read your
staff editorial on binge drinking at Oberlin, and was knocked
(metaphorically) ass-over-teakettle by its implication that people who
like to drink several nights a week people such as myself, I will
confess with disarming frankness have a problem. In
a masterful display of rhetorical power and force, the piece begins Monday
night: pitchers at the Inn. Tuesday night: quarter beers. Wednesday night:
any special at the Feve. Well, first of all, Wednesday night at
the Feve is actually any special except Fridays get your
facts straight, you bunch of tea-sippers! |
