Returned from Middletown
Actual sign seen on kiosk: "President Bennet: Making Wesleyan Safe for Oppressors." My experience at the class of '93 reunion and 17xth Commencement proved this statement to be wildly over-optimistic.
I will write a more complete report to be posted here in the coming days.
In the meantime, I thought that a couple of cranks might be interested in this magazine.
I know nothing about cars and next to nothing about Rockabilly, but they've got a Shag-rendered cover on issue #10. Maybe they belong among the links on the left.

But What About the Children?
Hey kids, remember how many things were lame about Wesleyan when we went there? (Andrew: check your "research")
PRESIDENT BENNET ANNOUNCES POLICY PROHIBITING CHALKING
President Bennet has announced a new policy that forbids the controversial practice of chalking on campus sidewalks. The policy makes permanent a
moratorium that had been in place for much of this academic year. For information, see:
http://www.wesleyan.edu/newsrel/chalking.htt/
The New York Times also carried a story about the issue:
http://www.nytimes.com/2003/05/14/nyregion/14CHAL.html?tntemail0
This reads like an Argus joke issue. What this campus needs is Cal Coolidge, and I don't think that's a rash statement.

Priorities
I sure didn't know the answer to Lee's pop quiz (in fact, when I read the answer I processed it in my brain as "Blah blah, bla bla blah bla"), but I did score 111 on Entertainment Weekly's Pop Culture Quiz. Oddly enough, the Cubs did not figure in any of the questions.
Incidentally, what has become of the majority of the Cranks? I saw a Papa John's delivery guy yesterday who looked just like Jim Stanek. Did Joanne Pflug have a craving for deep dish? Is Tom K. in a SARS quarantine? I'd ask where Andrew is, but the answer is, of course, on the MARC train. (For those of you not from the area, MARC stands for "Metropolitan Area Retard Commuters".)
