		<description>I always worry that, in the shining absence of my graduated ass, no one is doing an adequate amount of streaking at Wesleyan.

I never did get naked in this Usdan Palace place. Think of me and my dentures and do it, please.</description>

		<description>It is nice that people still remember our Mummynapping.  While, at the time, we feared expulsion and were like &quot;what the hell did we do&quot;, it makes a great 20 year old college story.   Thank Goodness Prez Chace had a sense of humor.  

We had no idea it was a 3000 yr old mummy!  We thought it was just some cadaver wrapped in a shower curtain on the 6th floor of the Science building.  What the hell was it doing there?  Clearly the university didn&#039;t care about it.  We were completely sober too.  We had just gone to see &quot;Breakfast At Tiffany&#039;s&quot; at the Science Center with these 3 cute girls.  lol we scared the crap out of them with the mummy....

Anyway, it&#039;s good to be a little nuts in college.  Don&#039;t huff paint - you&#039;ll end up in a loony bin.  Sorry that the drug laws are tighter - it was pretty cool in 1989 that you could go to the dorm room of some guy named Juan, buy an 1/8 of weed for $20, and smoke out of his 6 ft tall purple bong with impunity.   Still drugs are bad mmkay.

Don&#039;t complain about the food being wimpy.  Itza Pizza (circa 90-93) was disgusting.  MoCon wasn&#039;t much better.  Be glad the food is good and fufu.  Enjoy your paninis while they last.  

Also, to be honest, I look back and wish I had studied hardier and applied myself more.  Unless you are made of money, you don&#039;t get many chances to get the kind of quality education you get at Wes.   Learn something.  Take a film class with Jeanine Basinger.   Take something wacky like South Indian Flute or Gamelan.  Stretch yourself.   Pot will always be there, but Wes is ultimately a 4 year trip that ends way too soon.  Don&#039;t look back and say &quot;If only I&#039;d taken that 20th Century Art class&quot;...do it.  Apply yourself.  Remember that everything counts - how you approach school, partying, mummy pranks, it all matters.   You don&#039;t want to be a 40 year old with no money and a family to support.  Trust me.  :-)</description>

		<description>Can I add my two cents? Um to the fellow who wrote this article: there is this thing called progress that is beyond our control, and it consists of something called change. 

You are graduating! What the hell do you care about what the people who will be left behind act like. 

It should be up to the people who occupy the school in any given year to decide what Wesleyan should be like - not the class of 1970, 60 ... 

Move on and out of Wes with some class and dignity!!</description>

		<description>I agree with Estrella &#039;07 because we were both in CSS and CSS is always right.

But seriously, the first thing you need to do is bring back the Boogie Club.</description>

		<description>The best thing I learned at Wes is that its not what you eat, what you wear, what music you listen to...etc. that makes you progressive.  Its your actions and your unwillingness to be silent.  Shout from the rooftops in Ugg boots and march against police brutality in a North Face coat.....just do it.

I remember as a pre-frosh, sitting in Mocon...somebody came up to the railing with a fan, turned the fan on and blew 100s of little pieces of paper all over the place. They read: Fuck with Shit.

So, students at Wes. Fuck with Shit. Leave your mark. Don&#039;t be silented. Fight for what is right and study hard.  After all, the country despaerately needs smart and progressive leaders, especially now in the midst of 2 wars, crumbling economy, and health care reform. Fuck with shit. Bring it home.  Go Wes!</description>

		<description>You know what&#039;s *really* progressive? Getting to know people for who they are instead of deciding they must be pathetically mainstream just because they wear a certain type of shoe.</description>

		<description>K: That sounds exactly like my freshman year 3 years ago. Tunnels were open, drugs done openly in WestCo (which I&#039;m sure never stopped in Eclectic), Mocon was still run by Aramark and people still protest now. I don&#039;t know how you define freaks.</description>

		<description>I was at Wes in the 90&#039;s - believe me, it was way weirder then.  You could still use (and sometimes live in) the tunnels, people openly did drugs in West Co. and Eclectic, Mocon was run (badly) by ARA, students protested weekly about issues important and not-so important, and freaks abounded.  The way you describe your four years there, it sounds like Wes already lost its soul a decade or more ago.</description>
