“Do not let the rain deter you,” read the blitz from Palaeopitus to campus, and students apparently listened – there was quite a turnout for the 6 p.m. vigil held last night in protest of slurs written on the windows of a Fahey-McClane common room. Despite the downpour of rain, dozens of students and faculty lit their candles at Collis and made their way across the Green to show solidarity against the discriminatory remarks. My candle, which initially wouldn’t light, bravely held out through the rain, the moment of silence and the five minutes of discussion of community. Two Palaeopitus members thanked the students, staff, President Kim and Dean Johnson for attending the vigil, and asked those present to persist in the task of being their better selves in the face of intolerance.

If I had it my way, Holly Flax (Amy Ryan) would have instead stolen away Ted Mosby (Josh Radnor) of "How I Met Your Mother" to Colorado, leaving Michael Scott (Steve Carrell) to continue flourishing in "The Office." Both shows are approaching their demise, although "The Office" could have carried on had Carrell not ditched his Dunder Mifflin employees in search of some comedic Zion that he clearly hasn't found yet.
"The goal of the evening is to celebrate and honor people's creativity and courage," Landis said. "It's an opportunity to share their reflections and words with other people."
