To My Beloved Community,

Here at The Antioch Record we have all
worked through sleepless nights and blurry
days to produce an assortment of articles that
will hopefully encompass the values, concerns
and spirit of the community. But, to make this
truly a COMMUNITY publication we are in
need of input for the entire community (this
means you staff and faculty). There are a lot of
tough issues we are trying to sort out with sour
or minimal conversation between different
sections of campus. I propose that we utilize
The Record to voice our thoughts and opinions
in a transparent, positive forum to work towards
fi nding a middle ground. In order to have the
ideal Antioch Community we always speak
of, we must fi rst start acting like a community
in general, which means equal participation.
Seriously, do we all enjoy running around
being angry with each other all the time? I
hope not. If we cannot speak constructively of
these confl icts then we surly cannot solve them.
Lets all talk, learn from each other, and save
Antioch for the love of god!

Love & Respect,
Kari Thompson

Steak & Sustainability: Adventures with Steve Lawry in Berea’s Eco Village

Solar PanelBy Paige Clifton Steele

After 187 miles and four separate conversational uses of the word “keen”, Steve and I arrived at the hotel. He parked his 2006 Toyota Prius (tan, with a tastefully colored console that told us how much energy we had consumed on the drive) and we stepped out into the crisp December air. Together, we were there at Berea College of Berea, Kentucky, to investigate the limitless possibilities of sustainable energy.

Horoscopes

By Foster Neill

“THEY’RE MORE LIKE BAD FORTUNE COOKIES, REALLY.”

ARIES (MARCH 21 – APRIL 20)
It’s the end of the term so you’re confused. After all, you’re not always the
best at recognizing what’s bothering you. It’s finals, not your friends. If you
stick to your work and you’ll be free from stress and able to enjoy the company
of your friends before you leave.

TAURUS (APRIL 21 – MAY 21)
Steady work could earn you time for a surprise date. Hope it’s your course
work instead of your FWSP job that’s keeping you so busy. Continue reading Horoscopes
