In past years, Renaissance members were entitled to opt out of the final for any class in which they received a 93 average for each marking period. Gold card holders were allotted two subjects, and blue card holders received one. But now, the school administration along with a committee made up of teachers, department heads, and other WTHS staff have passed a policy that will revoke this exemption. Assistant Executive Principle of the 11/12 building, Mr. Joseph Bollendorf, said that the decision was “pretty much unanimous.” Though this policy may be suitable in the eyes of the committee, many students were dismayed to learn of this new rule. “It’s absurd,” said Matt Griechen ‘10.

In fact, AU even hosts Family Weekend at the same time. However, what it has become is something entirely different. Any Alfred community member can comment on the overwhelming amount of drinking and partying that occurs throughout the weekend. “It’s an annual weekend out of control,” a Village resident said, according to the minutes from a Village Board Meeting on May 13, 2013. “The Village needs to consider its responsibility and potential liability if a death were to occur during the event.” To ensure the safety of the Alfred community, roughly 30 people volunteered an average of 10 hours each of active service during the weekend, including six PHOTO PROVIDED | Katie Seery ambulance standbys, 17 ambulance calls Alfred students and community members compete in Alfred’s annual hotdog eating (fewer than 2012), and four fire calls in contest 2013, according to the “Village Broadside: Hot Dog Day Edition,” a press release from There were 38 arrests last year, but oddly enough, that HDD draws in many visitor who put the safety weekend, residence life and the Wellness the Village of Alfred.

    Transcript: Song & Music in the Movement A Conversation with Candie Carawan, Charles Cobb, Bettie Mae Fikes, Worth Long, Charles Neblett, and Hollis Watkins, September 19 – 20, 2017. Tuesday, September 19, 2017 Song_2017.09.19_01TASCAM Charlie Cobb: [00:41] So the recorders are on and the levels are okay. Okay. This is a fairly simple process here and informal. What I want to get, as you all know, is conversation about music and the Movement. And what I'm going to do—I'm not giving elaborate introductions. I'm going to go around the table and name who's here for the record, for the recorded record. Beyond that, I will depend on each one of you in your first, in this first round of comments to introduce yourselves however you wish. To the extent that I feel it necessary, I will prod you if I feel you've left something out that I think is important, which is one of the prerogatives of the moderator. [Laughs] Other than that, it's pretty loose going around the table—and this will be the order in which we'll also speak—Chuck Neblett, Hollis Watkins, Worth Long, Candie Carawan, Bettie Mae Fikes. I could say things like, from Carbondale, Illinois and Mississippi and Worth Long: Atlanta. Cobb: Durham, North Carolina. Tennessee and Alabama, I'm not gonna do all of that. You all can give whatever geographical description of yourself within the context of discussing the music. What I do want in this first round is, since all of you are important voices in terms of music and culture in the Movement—to talk about how you made your way to the Freedom Singers and freedom singing.
