ATLAS’s I-Nite: An Intergalactic Spin on Internationalism →  March 8, 2010 0

Last Friday night the 1962 room was the place to be. The room was transformed to feel like a “Space Odyssey,” complete with galactic video imagery and trash-bag alien costumes. This was I-Nite, ATLAS’s spring cultural show (similar to CCASA’s Fusion, held in fall), which included a wide variety of cultural performances, as well as skits [...]

Attention Baseball Fans: MLB Players Flee Mass Snow Melt As 2010 Spring Training Commences →  March 8, 2010 0

For baseball fans spring means more than just trading in your snow shovel for a lawnmower — it means hundreds of people, none of which you’ve ever met, are slowly making their way down to Florida or Arizona to start playing catch in tight pants. Yes, for baseball purists (read: junkies), Spring Training marks the beginning [...]

Spring Break and the Relentless Countdown →  March 8, 2010 0

As of March 9, I have no definite spring break plans. And for once, I’m OK with that. Freshman year, I worked in a small store in Mystic Village full-time, trying to convince tourists to buy things like engraved sharks tooth necklaces, amber bracelets and whaling ship postcards. Sophomore year, I enjoyed a week’s trip to Orlando, [...]

Men’s Squash Team Finds Success at National Championships →  March 4, 2010 0

Two weeks ago, the Connecticut College Men’s Squash team embarked on a journey with a goal in mind. Headed north to New Haven, the guys were due to make an appearance at the Men’s Collegiate Squash Team National Championships being held at Yale University. The plan was to return from the event as reigning champions, [...]

March Madness: It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year →  March 4, 2010 3

Office pool sharks and hubris-laden college students, get ready. With just under one week to go in the regular season, the NCAA nears one of its signature events: the 64-team Division I tournament to determine college basketball’s national champion. While the selection process for the men’s tournament has always been slightly controversial, this year there [...]

Wax On Wax Off: Martial Arts Club Gains Interest →  March 4, 2010 0

One of the oldest clubs on campus, Connecticut College’s Martial Arts Club studies and practices the wide range of systemized traditions of combat training. President Charles Van Rees ’10 said the club currently has between 10 to 20 active members who are divided between a formal branch and an informal branch. Students join the club [...]

Camel Lax is Back →  March 4, 2010 0

The 2010 season for the Connecticut College Men’s and Women’s lacrosse programs should be one to remember. The young teams have amassed new talent in the off-season and will prove to be strong competitors in the NESCAC this year. The Men’s lacrosse team, led by senior tri-captains Steve Dachille, Will Schumann and Sean Driscoll [...]

Digital Literacy for All, SGA Included →  March 3, 2010 0

I was in most regards a terrible senator. Residents of KB 2008/2009: I am sorry. Attendance-wise I think I did pretty well, although I’m sure I squandered many a critical pre-meeting schmooze by insisting on arriving no earlier than 7:14pm. During debates, I sought to make meaningful contributions toward solving the problems at hand while [...]

Dragonball-Tee →  March 2, 2010 0

This week I sat down with Matthew Patterson, known as the “kid who wears dragon shirts.” While many students know him by his attire, I figured it was time to find out the man behind dragon. Patterson is from Carlisle, MA, his favorite color is purple, and he is one of the nicest kids out [...]

Our Endless Wants, Never Satisfied →  March 2, 2010 1

We are a campus of endless wants. Like I briefly touched upon in my editorial two weeks ago, we are a campus with a stereotype of feeling sub-par to our peers (perhaps needlessly so). This pervasive feeling lends itself (especially on a campus inarguably with “haves” as majority) to further pressure the college’s administration, staff, [...]
