Greek Council fears Members of Greek life and the Office of Student Engagement are locked in an ongoing debate over the new Bring Your Own Beverage (BYOB) policy. Some members of Greek or- ganizations say that the new policy will stifle campus party culture, while administrators say the policy will require student accountability and teach low-risk practices. party culture at risk BYOB is a potential new party option that involves a closed guest list party where 21 and over guests can bring their own alcohol and can only drink what they bring. Greek Council is concerned the introduction of a BYOB option would prevent Greek organizations from host- ing all-campus parties due to the college’s policy aligning with Greek orga- niza- tions’ national regulations. This is just one example of a greater frustration felt by members of Greek Council towards the de- cision making process for College policy. Greek Council recently sent a series of recommendations to President Sean Decatur, expressing concern about both the actions of the Alcohol Task Force Steering Committee and the results of the K-Card access policy that was instituted at the be- ginning of this academic year. These recommendations mostly deal with changes to the process by which administrators solicit student input on policy decisions. “I think [the recommendations are] all part of a bigger issue of how we are starting to see Kenyon’s campus culture shift and I think it’s of primary concern to Greek Council that our community remain open and inclusive,” Director of Outreach for Greek Council Jess Kusher ’19 said. In September 2016, Decatur created the Alcohol Task Force (ATF), a group composed of students, faculty, trustees and staff, to investigate the presence and consumption of alcohol on Kenyon’s campus. The ATF cre- ated a list of recommendations to address problems concerning high-risk alcohol practices. The following March, the ATF presented a report to Decatur that rec- ommended that the College “encourage alternatives to drinking, teach low- risk practices in alcohol consumption, require accountability, enhance and clarify policies, and support students struggling to make appro- ANNA LIBERTIN page 3

PAID ADVERTISEMENT Small cast shines in Bright Half Life’s warped chronology FRANCES SAUX | ASSOCIATE COPY EDITOR

Tanya Barfield’s Bright Half Life is a series of fragments, a choreography com- prised of the disparate motions of a relationship: Erica (Emma Dunlop ’18) would like to take a job in a different city, but Vicky (Elizabeth Iduma ’20) wants her to stay in New York. Vicky dreams of going skydiving, but Erica is scared of heights. They both want to get married — but Erica can’t seem to muster a proper proposal. In some ways, the play, directed by Sean Seu ’19 and put on by Stage Femmes in the Black Box Theater last weekend, takes the most basic rule of playwriting to heart: Put two characters in a room together and get one of them to want whatever the other one is not prepared to give. On the other hand, the story is told out of chronological order, jumping back and forth across decades and using little in terms of props or a set. In the play’s discon- nected scenes, we follow Erica and Vicky from the day they meet at work, through their first dates and the milestones of their marriage and past their divorce. Both leads of this tricky play gave strong performances. Iduma and Dunlop were adept at switching between scenes, often moving from anger to giddiness in a mat- ter of seconds. This production also made efficient use of its bare set. The string of a kite, which descended from the ceiling on two occasions, was one of the only props. Small changes in sound or lighting moved the characters to new locations. In one scene, Vicky jumps (believably) on a wooden box that is supposed to be a bed in a mat- tress store. Part of what makes their relationship compelling is that Erica and Vicky have conspicuously different personalities. Erica is impulsive and a romantic. Vicky, on the other hand, is precise and professional. She is the one who handles the details of their relationship. She often must tell Erica where to find household items, and she nags Erica about caring for their children. Yet it is Erica who takes the steps to progress their relationship. It is she who asks Vicky — her supervisor at work — on a date. It is she, also, who proposes, who wants to have kids and who eventually separates from Vicky. Told out of order, the play traces this journey at all of its critical junctures, in the moments when the characters must make a decision that will either pull them closer together or tear them apart. The tension does not come from where they will end up, or whether they will regret their choices; we pretty much know all those answers from the start. In the world of the play, it is more how they will get to their decision. By the play’s end, it is pointless to try to decide whether the relationship suc- ceeded or not. The play is a rejection of the narrative that a relationship is a means to an end. What matters more is that it was powerful — and that it was shared. 8 Thursday, Dec. 7 | kenyoncollegian.com

Thursday, Dec. 7 OPINIONS kenyoncollegian.com 9 STAFF EDITORIAL Net neutrality: Our democracy is at stake.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced its plans to eliminate key net neu- trality regulations next week, according to the Wash- ington Post. This decision marks the end of the inter- net as a platform for democracy within the United States. De-regulating the internet will allow service pro- viders to charge different rates for select websites. For example, certain news sites like the New York Times and CNN could cost more to access than some of their counterparts. This discrepancy in cost could lead to a change in the way we access information. In an age where the president has publicly denounced media outlets for pushing “fake news,” it is impor- tant for each citizen to have unfettered access to the troves of information provided by the internet. Un- der the FCC’s proposed ruling next week, this could all change. Democracies are founded upon the idea of pro- viding a voice for the people, but democracy is only effective when the people are informed. By stifling LUCY IRWIN | CONTRIBUTOR the speed and access of the internet for those who are not able to afford the increased charges, the FCC is essentially stifling the ability of the American people to stay informed.
