As students chalked openly, wandered the Campus Center looking for dinner, and protested the end of Ethnomusicology on Saturday, it became apparent to many that they had been deceived by the Wesleyan Argus. These actions, as well as a number of others, were based on news articles that appeared in the Friday edition of the Argus.
“Dude, didn’t you read the Argus,” one student was overheard asking a Public Safety officer who was issuing an SJB referral for chalking. “We can do this again. No I swear. It was in the paper.”
Another student sat on the nearby steps of the Campus Center, sobbing softly into her hands. “They said it would be open,” she said. “Why would they lie to us? I just don’t understand. All I want is dinner.”
Argus Editors could not be reached for comment over the weekend, but sources stated that the editorial offices were unusually loud on Thursday night. Raucous laughter was reported by a number of pedestrians on Williams Street.
“I think it was supposed to be a joke,” said Argus editorial cartoonist Kristen Heiss. “You know, like a joke issue. It happens every semester.”
“I don’t buy that,” said angry student Dave Hill. “I’m bitter and the Argus is full of shit. I’m never believing anything they print ever again. Especially not this crap about ”April Convocation.“
