On September 2, 2075, Wesleyan’s first annual banquet for students of an intolerant nature was held. Declared Wesleyan’s smallest and most marginalized group in 2015, intolerant students have fought for their rights for over sixty years. For many Wesleyan students, the banquet was just another boring orientation event, but to racist, homophobic, classist, and robophobic students, the banquet represented the beginning of a better life at Wesleyan.

It’s the last Ampersand of the semester, but it’s the end of more than that. Both your intrepid editors are going away, possibly forever. Gelman is going to be teaching in New York, where there’s every chance that he’ll join a gang of roving street Hassids and drop out.

Dear Wesleyan Connection Readers, we regret to have to inform you of a reprehensible event that has occurred on our campus. It has recently come to our attention that the Hasidic Jews who are so often outside of Davenport Campus Center are guilty of racial profiling.
