Saturday night’s great, right? Go to some parties, hang out with your friends, get in a car and drive around drunkenly yelling “dyke” at some people walking up Church Street? Awesome. Really great. Here is a piece of useful information: most people don’t like it when people yell things at them out of car windows.
My name’s Alexis Horan, and I am the intern at the University Organizing Center (UOC) this year. The UOC is the building at 162 Church Street between Beta and Open House, across from the Bayit. What I do is (ahem) "provide peer assistance and support to Wesleyan’s various affinity groups and organizations" and "lend logistical assistance to student organizations and advise and encourage them in the use of campus resources."
We were deeply disturbed by the case of police brutality that occurred several weeks ago. We urge Wesleyan students to consider the role of policing on campus: In any situation when your instinct is to call Public Safety or police, consider what it is that they can do that you can’t. Unless you specifically need services that only they can provide, try to find other solutions to the problem.
