Leaving With Mixed Feelings

By Maggie Fritz | June 8, 1997

For the last couple of weeks everyone has been talking about "last times." "This is the last time we'll be in Baker." "This is the last time we ever have to eat in Food Court." "This is the last time we will ever use the second floor bathroom in the Hop." We're leaving.

Academic Gala informs '00s, '99s

By Elysa L. Jacobs | May 26, 1997

Four seniors described their honors theses to about 80 underclassmen at the College's first ever Academic Gala, which organizers say they hope will become an annual event. Sarah Lenczner '97, who organized the event with the College President's Intern Theresa Ellis '97, said the event was "a great success -- not only in the number of people that attended but the comments that people made to me afterwards." Lenczner said the point of the event was to show members of the Classes of 1999 and 2000 "what seniors have done with their honors projects and to give them a sense of what they might like to do." Ellis said the gala also showed underclassmen that the College supports students' academic endeavors. One panel member, Phil Lord '97, animated a nine minute cartoon, titled "Man Bites Breakfast" as his senior honors project. Lord said he stressed the importance of the process of doing an honors project rather than the project itself. "The process is the most important thing," he said. Lord said his film was about a man whose cereal eats him alive, and the cartoon became an apt metaphor for his own life during its production. It was like entering the "Heart of Darkness and you don't come out," he said.

With College help, publications thrive

By Joseph C. Scott | May 23, 1997

Several student publications that received an infusion of extra money a few months ago from the Committee on Student Organizations were all able to publish at least one issue this term. The Beacon, BLD, Cahiers du Dartma, Disquisitions, Snapshots of Color and Uncommon Threads all received COSO funding this term, Student Activities Director Linda Kennedy said. One of the stipulations of the agreement that gave the publications extra money compelled them to print at least one issue on or before this past Wednesday -- and every publication managed to keep to the deadline. The funding came after the editors of the Beacon, BLD, Jack o' Lantern, screed, and Uncommon Threads wrote a letter to Kennedy requesting more funds from the College in January. Kennedy declined to say how much money each organization received. In addition to direct monetary assistance, COSO also absolved the debts of several publications. Adam Mirick '99, editor of the Beacon, said the conservative journal received about $250 from COSO this term and had their substantial debt absolved by the College. Mirick said the funding was much needed. "We received nothing before [this term]," Mirick said.
