    VOLUME XXXVII, Issue 2 October 5, 2010 Bears escape the quiet room DC Open tees off Story on Page 31 Story on Page 34 By Christie Brown Anything goes but clothesChronicle Staff earing clothes on this pub night was not an ac- Wceptable option. On Thursday, Sept. 23 E.P. Tay- lor’s on campus hosted the Any- thing But Clothes pub night and anything but clothes it was. The theme required students to think outside the box (and the closet) and fashion garments that were not traditional clothing. The night started off slowly with not a single costume worn by any pub goers until around 10:30 when two girls started the party. One dress was fashioned out of bright yellow caution tape, and her friend’s outfit was a strapless, duct tape mini-dress. Soon after, the pub started filling up with any- thing-but-clothes partiers. “It’s a really good idea, anything but clothes night, look at every- body!” Kate Pugliese, a pre-media student looks towards the stage where a group of dressed up girls are getting their photo taken. “We look ridiculous but it’s hilarious what some people came up with.” Costumes included garbage dresses held together with ribbon and some made a little simpler, Photo by Christie Brown just fabric taped together to create a dress. CLOTHING OPTIONAL: Wildly outrageous ensembles were shown off at E.P. Taylor’s Anything But Clothes pub night on Sept. 23. (from left) Mary McLean, Katryce Heavrin, Caley Bedore, Brenna Hambly, Caryn Hurdis and Vickie de Laplante are some of the students who strutted their stuff in creative costumes.

  • VITA Paper Edition 29 Jan 2011.Indd
    1 AUGUST, 1963 ithin only hours of her husband’s burial, Mrs. Pearce Wclimbs Pepper Tree Lane. Gusting, incendiary Santa Ana winds shake giant live oak and hickory and sycamore trees, but beneath their tumultuous high canopies, the night air barely rustles through the branches of modest pepper trees said to have started out as fence posts—then in true movie-magic fashion sprouted, budded, and grew into full-sized trunks gnarled with knots and burls. Now arching limbs with fronds of slender pepper leaves form a shadow-fretted allee at the entrance lane to the deserted Hollywood Bowl. The newly-made widow glances about in fear of trespassers more sinister than herself, lurking, she fears, in pitch shadows between boarded-up concession stands, or on empty café terraces. She hesitates in a pool of chalky light cast by an art deco lamp pole. Her tiny, oval-shaped Cartier watch hasn’t worked in years, but it must be near midnight. All afternoon long she had tried to tell herself that this was a hoax, some sort of hideous prank—but no, the elegant copperplate script of her bizarre summons could only be Vita’s!—besides, who else would bring her out at this hour to so outlandish a place! From her purse Mrs. Pearce slips a piece of paper and for the umpteenth time reads the sole communication in twelve years from her remaining child. She holds the paper up to feeble light, Vita and squints. Fifty-eight, she looks seventy. Strands of prematurely thin white hair straggle from beneath a mink toque, while the diminished frame is droopily draped by a matching jacket with matted fur and padded shoulders.
