By Elise Waxenberg | April 20, 2005

Less than 24 hours after slapping Student Body Presidential candidates Paul Heintz '06 and Brian Martin '06 with campaign sanctions that had suspended Heintz's campaign and frozen Martin's BlitzMail use, the student-run Elections Planning and Advisory Committee decided to restore both candidates' BlitzMail privileges Tuesday evening after holding a hearing on each case. Additional restrictions on Heintz's campaign, however, remain in effect. The ban on both candidates' BlitzMail use was officially lifted 24 hours after each was imposed -- Heintz's BlitzMail use was restored at 12:01 a.m.

By Lizzie Wise | April 19, 2005

Cartoonist school opens doors in Vermont

By Gus Lûbin | April 18, 2005

Hidden in the middle of White River Junction, far from New York City, and even further from Gotham or Metropolis, the world of comic books has sprung a remarkable new storyline. The Center for Cartoon Studies, a two-year graduate school of sorts for the study of print cartoons -- the first of its kind -- will open its doors to a class of 20 students in the fall. Co-founders James Sturm and Michelle Ollie are committed to the idea that cartoons involve more than just drawing pictures on paper, a dedication that can be seen on the walls of the old Colodny building in which the school is housed. Though the paint-stained construction site motif may not look like a classroom to the untrained or perhaps unimaginative eye, Strum and Ollie have actually transformed the former department store by painting the walls instead of using wallpaper and sawing boards instead of drawing on them. "The building is done; what are you talking about?" Sturm joked.

Colgate requires Greeks to sell off physical plants

By Rebekah Rombom | April 18, 2005

Administrators at Colgate University recently issued an ultimatum to members of the university's fraternities and sororities, forcing the Greek organizations to decide between selling their physical plants and relinquishing university recognition. According to an initiative set up by the university, fraternities and sororities whose houses are privately owned must sell them to the university, and Greek organizations without houses are required to adopt college-owned housing for their members. The initiative came as a result of a drunk driving accident in 2000 that killed four Colgate students.

By Elise Waxenberg | April 15, 2005

The contenders backed establishing a seventh sorority on campus, extensive alcohol policy review and deference to Greek leadership on co-ed, fraternity and sorority issues in front of an audience of about 40 students. Among the campaign promises made, former Student Body Vice President Noah Riner '06 said he would earmark $10,000 of Assembly funds for Greek house renovations -- a "concrete way" for the Assembly to support Greeks.

The resolution supports the construction of a tunnel that will connect the Upper Valley Plaza, home to JCPenney, with the nearby plaza that features Kmart.
