Seniors resurrect Easter tradition, hide beer cans

By John Jacobson

While most children were finding candy-filled Easter eggs this spring, Earlham students searched campus for painted beer cans, continuing the timehonored tradition of Beerster.

Beerster is a holiday that is celebrated on Earlham’s campus around the same time as Easter. The senior class paints beer cans, setting them out to dry and then dividing up the beers between a number of different seniors. These seniors then place cans all over campus, including the dorms, the academic buildings, even Runyan.

This is done for the purpose of finding, keeping and consuming the beers. This year’s Beerster was conducted shortly after the Easter holiday took place, but happened nonetheless.

“I think it’s just a fun thing that brings people together once a year,” said senior Casey Muyskens-Toth. “What’s the harm in it, really?”

Senior Miranda Trostle said, “[Beerster] is just sort of this organic thing that just happens when friends get together and decide that students should be finding more happy surprises around campus.”

Trostle discussed her own involvement with this year’s Beerster.

“We painted the beers at my off-campus house,” she said. “I helped write things on the beers and helped climb some trees [to place the cans].”

“We hid a bunch of beer in the science library and Stanley Hall, as well as wellness hall and Noyes Hall,” said senior Austin Price Miller. “We used … cunning and strategy rather than physical prowess to hide our beers … most were just cleverly hidden, but not hard to get to.”

Trostle claimed that Beerster has been going on for over four years, but when asked about how old people thought this specific tradition was, no one could give a real definitive answer.

“I’d guess maybe fifteen years,” Miller said. 

Trostle said that the point of Beerster was “to show the campus that the seniors love everyone and that they want them to drink more beer.”

“In my time here, Beerster always seemed to me to be a scavenger hunt for the security officers,” said Jason Elliot, officer at Campus Safety and Security. “This year, nobody on third shift seemed to find anything, so we thought it was not gonna happen.”

However, the seniors didn’t take long to disprove that theory.

“I got a call today that some were found by some second graders, in the museum in some of the public displays in the museum … and then I heard there were a couple in the registrars office … so I think who ever did it this year did it while places were open, so they were pretty sneaky about it,” Elliot said. “Obviously Earlham’s a dry campus, but it’s a pretty harmless event.”

ESG Reports on… Committees

By Earlham Student Government

Earlham Student Government (ESG) has recently begun a feedback form system where students on standing committees are expected to report back to the cabinet on the current projects and future goals of the committee to which they were appointed. Using this form, we intend to increase the lines of communication between all students involved in student government, as well as with the entire Earlham community.

Questions or comments? E-mail esg@earlham.edu.

The Financial Aid Advisory Committee reports that they have been working to evaluate the effectiveness of the SAT as a measure of accepting new students to Earlham. The committee is considering having the SAT become an optional test for high school students that apply to Earlham. The purpose of this project would be to increase the amount of high school student applicants to Earlham.

Along with this project, the committee also plans to make an “academic support center” for high school students. The purpose of this center would be to ease high school students into participating at the academic level of the college.

Another committee to report their progress was the Information Technology Policy Committee. Currently, they are working on having guest access to the college’s Internet. They are also considering having open access to a portion of Earlham’s Internet through Runyan Center and the coffee shop. A future goal of the committee is to have the implementation of virtual desktops for campus work spaces.

The feedback forms can be found on the opinion board in Runyan Center to the right of the coffee shop. Any further information regarding these committees’ charges or membership can be found on the ESG link on the Heart Portal.

Poet to deliver semester’s last convocation

By Micah Sommer

He is the author of a dozen books of poetry and nonfiction, a college English professor and the only American to win Great Britain’s T.S. Eliot Prize. On Wednesday, April 7, Mark Doty will speak at the semester’s final convocation in Goddard Auditorium.

Visiting Assistant Professor of English David Ebenbach said that Doty has been called “one of the early enduring voices of the AIDS epidemic.” Doty’s partner died of AIDS in 1994, and this experience has strongly informed much of his writing since then.

“[Doty] brings a kind of poetry to us that we really have needed,” Ebenbach said. “It’s this poetry that is both romantic and miserable in some way … He recognizes how awful and painful and difficult things can be, and not only despite that … but somehow because of that, finds beauty all around in a way that we can see it, too.”

Doty is coming to Earlham at an auspicious time, according to Ebenbach.

“April is National Poetry Month, and it’s also the month when we have our Pride Week on campus,” Ebenbach said. “So a poet like Mark Doty, who I think has everything in him to be Poet Laureate and has been a really clear voice for the gay community and the gay poetry community, he’s sort of a perfect combination.”

Director of Events Coordination Lynn Knight predicted that Doty will have broad appeal at Earlham.

“Even if you’re not in poetry, you’re going to know who Mark Doty is,” she said, “and even if you don’t, I think enough of the students that do are going to say, ‘Hey, this is one you’re going to want to pay attention to.’”

Knight said that at convocation, Doty will read some of his poetry and also talk about writing and his life. At 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Doty will also facilitate a creative writing workshop open to all. The Womyn’s Center will host an informal discussion with him on Tuesday, and he will also be visiting two English classes: Creative Writing on Tuesday and Intro to the Study of Literature on Wednesday.

Several English professors, including Ebenbach, have been teaching Doty’s work in class this semester. Ebenbach said that interest in Doty’s convocation is high among the students who have been reading his work.

One such student is senior Claire McGuinness, who said that she is excited to hear Doty speak.

“It’s a big deal,” McGuinness said, noting that Doty is one of her “idols.”

In addition to the T.S. Eliot Prize, Doty’s poetry has earned him a National Book Award and National Book Critics Circle Award among other prizes.

Doty has also written several books of nonfiction, including “Heaven’s Coast,” a memoir of the gradual loss of his partner to AIDS, and “Dog Years,” which combines memories of his two dogs with responses to 9/11 and other thoughts on death and grief. He also teaches 19th- and 20th century poetry at Rutgers University in New Jersey.

Humans vs. Zombies game attacks Earlham

By William Duffee

Wielding a Nerf Vulcan cannon, sophomore Robbie Bean left his room on second-floor Bundy on Monday evening, expecting to return in the same state in which he left. Little did he know, his world was about to change.

As Bean entered the stairway, a zombie charged him from behind the door, in an attack leaving him with one hour of humanity before he himself would hunger for the taste of human brains.

The attack on Bean is part of what some students at Earlham have been expecting for a while: a zombie invasion. The invasion began last Saturday, March 27, and continues through Friday, April 9, as part of a group of students playing Humans vs. Zombies, an advanced form of tag.

The game begins with one zombie, who feeds on Human players, making them Zombies who also must feed.

 

zombies-vs-humans_w-9

Students take part in the Humans vs. Zombies games at Earlham.

 

 

Humans defend themselves with melee weapons, Nerf guns and socks — used as ranged weapons — to stun Zombies for 15 minutes, during which they cannot feed on any Human.

Zombies have to feed every 48 hours, or else they die and are eliminated from the game.

Zombies win by tagging all Humans, whereas Humans win by starving the Zombies.

Humans, however, are protected in “safe zones,” which include academic buildings, school functions, dorm rooms, bathrooms, Saga and Saga lines, theaters and the coffee shop. The safe zone extends to within 10 feet of the location’s entrances.

Bandanas identify the players — Humans wear bandanas on their arms, while Zombies wear bandanas around their heads.

Junior Spencer Zimmerman brought the event to Earlham by creating a Facebook group, now listing over 100 members, for Earlham’s version of Humans vs. Zombies. Recently, he made a Facebook event, which listed 25 confirmed participants at the beginning of the function, and has since grown.

“It’s taken on a lot,” Zimmerman said. “I’m really surprised about the number of people who have expressed interest.”

Senior Patrick Raines, a Human as of Monday evening, found survival not as easy as some might expect.

“There’s more and more Zombies every day, and so each day I get new challenges,” he said.

Sophomore Kenneth Holbert, who became a Zombie on Tuesday, agreed that the game was demanding on Humans.

“Being a Human was certainly fun,” he said. “I had to reconsider how I got to places … because I’d have to go multiple different routes or I’d have to go with people.”

To combat these challenges, Holbert founded what he called “Zombie Watch,” which was designed “to keep the Human players informed of who was a Zombie and who was still alive” so that they would have a better chance of survival.

Sophomore Eric Schnitter noted that Bundy stands as a prominent zombie-infested area. Schnitter, a Zombie as of Monday evening, said that this situation made survival much more difficult for Bundy residents.

“Wellness floor [second-floor Bundy], where I live, happened to be the center of the zombie population,” he said. “My roommate and multiple other people were zombies, so it was very nerve wracking to wake up every single day and have to skitter outside the dooms.”

Some participants are dissatisfied with certain aspects of the game. For instance, players have questioned the fact that Runyan Center is not a safe zone, even though the rules state that “academic buildings” are.

“I believe Runyan should be a safe zone because there’s classes in there, there’s people trying to do their business in there, people work in there,” said freshman Alicca Rice. “We don’t have a right to interfere with that.”

Freshman Justin Vadas has participated in Humans vs. Zombies at Ball State University in Muncie, Ind., and thought that Earlham’s game could improve.

“What happened with this game is that the rules that were set up weren’t geared towards Earlham’s campus,” he said.

Along with general organization, Vadas thinks specific rules could be implemented, giving the example of uniform bandanas to use in the game.

“[In this game,] there were a couple incidents where a bystander was wearing a bandana around their head, and then they got pegged with a Nerf dart because people thought they were zombies,” he said. 

However, Vadas notes that this event was intended as a test-run, and is participating in an effort to improve Earlham’s version for the future.

“We’re in the process right now of implementing the comments from the players and from bystanders to try and make a better game for next semester,” he said. “By next semester, this will be a lot better, a lot more fun, and we’re hoping to get a lot more people to play.”

Students at Goucher College in Towson, Md. invented the original Humans vs. Zombies game in 2005. The game has since spread and “is played at over 200 colleges and universities across the country,” according to the game’s Web site.

PostSecret encourages dialogue on mental health

By Jonas Shellhammer

“You don’t know, but I’ve made up my mind to leave you,” the postcard reads. “I’m just trying to decide when.”

This is one of the many anonymous secrets that are part of the official PostSecret blog, a community art project that displays secrets submitted on homemade postcards.

Earlham’s chapter of Active Minds is emulating the project for its own campus-wide experiment. The project utilizes Post-Secret boxes across campus in which students can anonymously submit their own secrets.

Active Minds is organizing the project as part of its goal to further mental health awareness.

“People can anonymously unburden themselves,” said co-convenor of Active Minds Ian Cross, senior. “We see this PostSecret idea … as a de-stressor, and a way to start discussion about mental health on campus.”

The group hopes to hang up the submissions on the walls of the new student-run coffee shop before it opens.

The secrets will be tallied and reviewed before being posted. Cross mentioned that Active Minds “understands that there might be joke ones, or fake ones. We won’t post just about anything.”

Active Minds’ faculty advisor Brad Kelley, a counselor at Counseling Services, feels that PostSecret is a positive venue for mitigating stress and that it has potential for students.

“There’s been a lot of success on other campuses,” he said.

Kelley hopes that one person’s secret might be shared by others. By displaying these secrets, those who may choose to remain silent might recognize that they are not alone and this event will provide a space for dialogue.

Counselor Jessica Sanford, Active Minds’ former faculty adviser, also thinks that PostSecret will be a good addition to campus life. She feels that it fits with Active Minds’ mission statement of de-stigmatizing mental health issues, and thinks it might encourage people to go to counseling.

Senior Reuben Goldstein felt that the purpose of the project was not communicated well enough for a clear understanding.

“I think it’s a very interesting concept, but it needs to be more explicit as to what it’s for,” he said.

Goldstein said he had not submitted a secret for the project.

“I don’t have any secrets that I think are important,” he said.

Senior Hannah Reed said that she thought of submitting a secret to one of the boxes, but that the question of anonymity dissuaded her.

“I feel like, on a campus this small, there’d be probably 10 people who wouldn’t know who it was from,” she said. Cross said that the inspiration for the activity came from an internet- based art project.

PostSecret was originally a weblog created in January 2005 for the purpose of posting anonymous secrets that had been mailed to the artist, Frank Warren, on a homemade postcard.

The items displayed on the original PostSecret blog range widely in tone and topic. Posted secrets that are illustrative of this breadth include ones related to: having sex with one’s sorority sister, fear of using the bathroom at a girlfriend’s apartment, only getting along with one’s partner while under the influence of drugs, and preparing a suicide potion for a terminally ill father.

Warren continues to update the blog with new secrets every Sunday. He has also published five books based on PostSecret since its creation.

Earlham’s chapter of Active Minds stems from the national organization, which seeks to reduce the stigma and negative connotations that surround mental health issues. It was founded in 2001 by a University of Pennsylvania student after the founder’s brother committed suicide. It has since grown, and is today a registered non-profit organization.

Horoscopes of the week

By Ivonne Flores and Micah Whitney

This week we chose to focus on the position of the planet Venus to the Sun. Venus is in the position of Aries for this weekend, here are some predictions for your friend and love relationships.

Aries:

The planet Venus is in Aries, this weekend you’re shining. Pay particular attention to people who seem drawn to you! Go with your instincts and you might find yourself some loving.

Taurus:

You need to get out of your comfort zone if you want to make any discoveries this weekend. People are keeping an eye out for you — get out of your room!

Gemini:

You may have too much energy this weekend to focus on your lover. Unless nonmonogamy is your thing, use this time to visit old friends and acquaintances.

Cancer:

After the long week, it’s best to quiet down this weekend. Refresh, reflect, and renew yourself before heading off for spring break.

Leo:

If there is someone you’ve been keeping your eye on, stop putting it off! It’s time to start making decisions.

Virgo:

Have you been dwelling on a relationship? If there is hurt or frustration, you must let that go so that you can move on.

Libra:

Libra is ruled by Venus and because Venus is in Aries, your love life is likely to catch on fire. Use your light, airy qualities to vent love fires. Use your charm but don’t burn down the forest.

Scorpio:

Try not to get jealous if your friends are getting a lot of attention. If your lover is getting that attention, beware of possessive tendencies.

Sagittarius:

You might feel restless with your relationships right now. It might be time to try something new, but beware of hasty decisions that could hurt those around you.

Capricorn:

You spent the week on your own path, doing your own thing. This weekend take time to reach out to others. Maybe a light fling will help ease up the tension.

Aquarius:

Take time this weekend to socialize, but stay out of the drama. On the other hand, your friends may seek your advice.

Pisces:

Don’t give into selfpity when you are not in the spotlight. Resist the tendency to think, “Why not me?” Use this weekend for introspection and finding inner strength.
