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, [...]

Airing My Neuroses: The Discomfort Trifecta →  March 1, 2010 0

I don’t think about chapstick very often. Or umbrellas, or chewing gum. When I do think about them, it’s in moments of immediate need. These things have in common a crippling irreplaceability – when you need it, you need it. Morissette wrote, “It’s like ten thousand spoons, when all you need is a knife,” and [...]

I Brew My Own Cider and You Can, Too →  March 1, 2010 0

Being 21 is great. Brewing your own booze is great, too. There’s a gallon and a half of raw unfiltered hard cider in my possession right now. It’s like apple juice with a little bite and some alcohol. Anyway, hard cider is surprisingly easy to make. It’s kind of difficult to get started. You need raw [...]

Mixed Nuts: A Review of the Dance Club Spring Show →  March 1, 2010 1

Reviewing the dance show as a whole would be similar to reviewing a bowl of Planter’s Mixed Nuts. The only fair way to do it is to review the pieces individually, as there was no universal theme or larger picture that each piece contributed to, in the same way almonds have nothing to do with [...]

Last Week in SGA… in Brief →  March 1, 2010 1

- CC Curtiss, Director of Student Wellness & Alcohol/Drug Education, spoke to the assembly about ‘Think Outside the Bottle Day’, a Hump Day activity in which students will answer a short survey about their drinking habits, receive feedback from the health educators, and receive a complimentary water bottle. Curtiss asked SGA for various levels of [...]

From the Ash and to the Airwaves →  March 1, 2010 0

While you may never have heard of Fenix or his music, chances are excellent that you know his true identity, that of junior Kenneth Rivera. Rivera, who has been writing music since his sophomore year of high school, is busy conducting his most ambitious music project yet: a mixtape, which he has named Heart and Soul. “Hip-hop [...]
