Satanic rituals in the library a cause for concern By FORD DENT Puzzled by the decision to close the library a full two hours earlier than in previous years, as well as un- yielding resistance from the admin- istration to allow a return to normal operating hours, our intrepid re- porter, Ford Dent, went undercover to expose what exactly goes on in- side the library after hours. He never returned. We found his journal two weeks later, with only a tattered sock and Ford’s favorite jar of mustard as proof of his existence.

As the leaves in Tacoma begin to turn auburn and golden, Hallow- een looms ever closer and the ex- citement of costumes and candy has, as always, reached far beyond the under 12 community. Despite the hackneyed question, college stu- dents are by no means too old to be dressing up for Halloween. Howev- er, there is a lingering issue: is it re- ally all right for college students to turn a traditionally children’s holi- day into a free pass for the provoc- ative? It is by all accounts an expectation that a Halloween costume will be re- vealing, incendiary or down right insulting—with annual national at- tention given to the college students who manage to master all three in an offensive trifecta. But for those of us who only seek to enjoy the fes- tivities and embrace the spirit of the holiday, it is wise to do our best to keep it classy. Halloween is, first and foremost, a day when we can free ourselves from who we are every other day of the year and be just about any- thing else. It is this fact (and per- haps, the universal appeal of candy) that makes Halloween enjoyable for all ages. “I find Halloween to be such a PHOTO COURTESY / MEGAN CHAMBERS fabulous time for women.

This spring, on the weekend be- fore Valentine’s Day, The School of Music Opera Theatre will perform Gilbert and Sullivan’s “The Pirates of Penzance” in Schneebeck Con- cert Hall. However, the timing and location of this production has recently caused some contro- versy due to the fact that in previ- ous years Eve Ensler’s “The Vagina Monologues” has been performed in Schneebeck on that weekend. The timing of the “Monologues” is not random. Many organiza- tions that produce “The Vagina Monologues” do so in concurrence with V-day (Feb. 14), accord- ing to senior Hallie Conyers, who has both acted in and directed the “Monologues.” The V-day move- ment is a “global activist move- ment to end violence against wom- en and girls,” (vday.org). Each year, the University’s pro- duction of “The Vagina Mono- logues” includes between 30 and 50 students. It is all-inclusive, al- lowing everyone who auditions to get a part. Men are invited to par- ticipate as well, however per the rules for performing the “Mono- logues,” they are not allowed to perform because, as Conyers put it, “they don’t have vaginas.” According to Conyers, the rela- tively large cast is “already a huge PHOTO COURTESY / MARIA SOKOVA logistical nightmare without hav- ing to find a space to use.” Monologues: Last year’s performances of “The Vagina Monologues” were a success in Schneebeck concert hall, and organizers “The Pirates of Penzance” will are convinced that this year’s performances in Kilworth Memorial Chapel will be a hit as well. also feature a large cast consisting Conyers and those involved in are associated with the Vulva Anti- I think it’s such a cool mixture of… okay to talk about when it comes of 37 students, as well as the Uni- “The Vagina Monologues,” Cony- Violence Association (VAVA). political statement and theater… to men that women are supposed versity’s orchestra, according to Dr. ers felt that the whole situation “We are the only ones, to my you just don’t see that very often,” to keep to themselves…‘The Vagi- Dawn Padula who will act as stage points to “a disconnect between knowledge, who have said any- Chambers said. na Monologues’ is our weekend of director/producer for the Opera. the administration’s priorities and thing about this…no one is saying This personal investment in the year when we get to get out and Professor Denes Van Parys will act the priorities for women on this anything about the fact that wom- “The Vagina Monologues” contrib- shout about vaginas…I just think as musical director and Professor c ampu s .” en just got shoved off the sched- uted to Conyers and Chamber’s that’s really awesome,” Chambers Gerard Morris will conduct the or- Partially, Conyers believed, this ule,” senior Megan Chambers, a frustration over this year’s sched- said. chestra for the production. is due to the fact that the “Mono- theatre minor and Vagina Mono- uling conflicts. “I’ve spent so much time being “We decided upon the…dates logues” are entirely student run, logues enthusiast who has previ- “Part of [the issue] is about mad…but now we’re moving for- last spring considering the orches- and until last year, were student ously acted in the production, said. women’s rights…we get to hear ward,” Conyers said.
