Boko Haram massacre must not be ignored

(01/27/15 2:44am)

By most accounts, this was a slow week in the news. After the excitement of President Obama’s State of the Union address on Tuesday, the headlines mostly turned to analyses of the speech, continued coverage of the Charlie Hebdo terror attack and its international response and a national scandal over whether or not—shock and horror!—a football was slightly deflated at an important Patriots game. This story has huge consequences for the football community, but for those of us who couldn’t care less one way or the other about sports, it was a rather ho-hum time to be browsing Google News. The front page stories of Sunday’s New York Times, for example, focused on tax policy shifts being proposed by eight Republicans, an exploration of the Vatican’s current stance on divorce, new evidence in a 50-year-old murder case and something headlined "North Korea’s Forbidden Love? Smuggled, Illegal Soap Operas."

Boris’ Kitchen and outside groups perform in annual festival

(12/09/14 6:56am)

The lights went up on a restaurant scene. Using overly exaggerated, hilarious facial expressions, Yael Platt ’17 asked Michelle Wexler ’15, the annoyed hostess, if she could have a table for one. The audience began to laugh. Next, Dennis Hermida-Gonzalez ’16 walked into the resturant with a dog. Wexler asked him to leave the dog outside, but Hermida-Gonzalez replied that his dog was his “emotional support companion.” This same scenario went on, using other animals such as a gorilla and an elephant. At the end of the sketch, Deesha Patel ’16 walked in with Rodrigo Granados ’18. Wexler said that the restaurant didn’t allow any support animals anymore. To end the scene, Patel delivered punch line, “That’s my boyfriend.”
