Some Wesleyan students see a problem and complain about it. Others make a difference. Last week, hundreds of students boycotted Bon Appetit’s reign of terror by not buying lunch at the Usdan Student Center. However, only one student truly exemplified what it means to "make a difference."
Due to high demand and great suggestions, the Film Series has decided to extend its program through Reading Week.
Michael Roth’s election as Wesleyan’s 16th president has sparked incredible controversy across campus. While noted for his "broad intellectual curiosity", "great personal energy", and "tiger-like reflexes", Roth has captured the hearts and minds of students for his undeniable sexiness.
It has come to the Ampersand’s attention that many serious international calamities are left without solution.

After much debate and research, scientists have concluded that the "Hebrew-Money Gene" is pure schlock. "It took me 10 years and over a hundred million dollars, but I can now confidently say that Jews are, in fact, not genetically linked with money," said geneticist Frank Cummings.
Wesleyan students once again showed their activist side when several members of the Jewish community grew their own "toothbrush moustaches," a style made infamous by Adolf Hitler.

Once again the creators of LOST prove how inept they are at creating an accurate portrayal of life on an island inhabited by polar bears, jungle monsters, and 70’s-era dungeons.
