Thank the Gods that this blasted semester is almost over! Let the revelry commence!

Dela, I adore you. Thank you for making my term so wonderful. xo -niko

“Poopularity Planner” and “Gorilla recruitment” are less funny when they seem when you’re wasted

Nicole, I love you I’m glad you’re here. I’m sorry about the shit that went down this weekend

I found your sock 🙂

Kelsey, this place won’t be the same without you 🙁 Emma

To whoever called North Friday Night saying “reverse racism doesn’t exist” this is no way to win an argument. It only puts the people’s backs up, and makes an agreement less likely -Lincoln Continue reading DeClassifieds

Announcements

Do you have a contact with an organization that works primarily with youth? If so, you’re helpful to the admissions and recruitment process!!

We’re looking for students who have worked with organizations who could help us network to spread the word that Antioch is open and draw attention to the kind of students we want at Antioch.  For example, I worked with GLSEN – the gay, lesbian, straight education network in high school and could help get the word out to gay/straight alliances about Antioch College.

If you have any type of connection, we’ll help you with the work that needs to happen to make them an ally of Antioch!

Just send me an email or call/stop by the office,
Chelsea Martens

Senior Project

I began working on The Rising when I was traveling in Eastern Europe. Originally the idea was to write a series of songs about war, but almost everything I was coming up with felt contrived and irrelevant. It was so frustrating that I almost gave the whole thing up, but then I got to Poland.

I had several very intense and important things happen to me while I was in Poland and they defined my focus from then on. I began reading about the Nazi genocide, Jewish resistance, and Jewish culture. In a bookshop in Kazimierz, the Jewish neighborhood in Krakow, I picked up “Survival in Auschwitz” by Primo Levi, “Words to Outlive Us” about the Warsaw Ghetto and the uprising that took place there, “A Hole in the Heart of the World: The Jewish Experience in Eastern Europe After WWII,” “Smoke Over Birkenau,” and a book of stories of Jewish Mystics throughout the centuries.

I began to write. I had some words and guitar parts at first, then gradually the songs came together. I wanted them to be for a band so I wrote for electric guitar, bass, and drums.

When I was 17 or 18 I saw a video recording of Metallica playing with the San Francisco Symphony. Since then I’ve wanted to orchestrate songs. I figured my Senior project was a good time to do just that. Continue reading Senior Project

Time to Move On

While drinking my routine cup of coffee in Emporium yesterday, my eyes lingered for a minute on the bright red flag near the window that reads “Antioch alive!” I remember thinking “Yeah… It is for now. But for how long?”

In spirit, the campus appears pretty dead right now; students and faculty are trying to secure a future at other institutions and alumni throughout the country are once again left without agency. Continue reading Time to Move On

The Race Is On!

By Billy Joyce
A year after the MAN collective and the CCR collective created Facebook groups, filed applications, took pictures and put up posters, the community is again under siege.
Before, it was Marjorie Jensen, Anne Fletcher and Niko Kowel and Corri Frohlich, Chelsea Martens, and Rory Adams-Cheatham who stood in front of the community in McGregor 113. On Tues. it was a different group of students who humbly introduced themselves to the community.
The collectives, as they stand now, don’t have catchy nicknames: Jamila Hunter, Meghan Pergrem, Fela Pierrelouis, and for an encore Niko Kowell are running up against Nicole Bayani, Micah Canal, Sarah Buckingham, and Julian Sharp.
The news out of this forum is that each collective running for CG has four candidates. This is abnormal since there are only job descriptions and funding enough for three people. ComCil last week, as reported by CM/OM Corri Frohlich, deliberated for hours to accept the collectives’ proposals for a fourth member. Continue reading The Race Is On!
