Services extend hours to help seniors & I.S.

By Allana Mortell, News Editor

With spring break a week away, there’s only one thing on the minds of all the Wooster seniors — turning in their I.S. As students schedule their last meetings with advisors, work on finishing their final chapters and begin proofreading, the process surrounding binding, copying and turning in I.S. has kicked off into full swing.

Wooster Orchestra brings Rachmaninoff to life

By Alexander Lans, Voice Staff

This past weekend, the Wooster Symphony Orchestra, directed by Professor of Music Jeffrey Lindberg performed in the Gault Recital Hall. I am rather skeptical of most orchestra performances, but I was blown away and truly moved by the phenomenal performance of the company.

Anna Lemler ’10, beautifully performed Edward Elgar’s Cello Concerto in E Minor. The piece is considered to be the premiere cello solo and for good reason. Lemler’s passion for the instrument and the beautiful sounds of the orchestra brought the concerto to life. (more…)

Scots go to battle for NCAC title

By Andrew Vogel, Editor in Chief

After slumping in the middle of the season, the men’s basketball team has found their rhythm from the outside. The  No. 19 Scots’ aerial assault continued last Tuesday, as the Scots declared war on the Kenyon College perimeter defense — dropping bombs from the outside to coast to a 73-59 victory over the Lords. The Scots will need to maintain this aggressive instinct in this weekend’s NCAC Tournament as they attempt to lock up their eighth straight NCAA Tournament bid. (more…)

Figure skaters make history in 2010 games

By Madelyn Halstead & Elle Bloom, Features Editors

Since the opening of the 2010 winter Games in Vancouver, British Columbia, figure skating continues to draw attention to itself.  What makes these games different for the figure skating community is an abundance of positive attention and  diversion from scandal and corruption. (more…)

Ski-Jump behind times

By Laney Austin

I, like so many other people around the world, have tuned my television to watch the world’s best athletes compete for the gold in these Olympic Games. The intense sporting events have come with a series of medal-awarding ceremonies, which feature both the men and the women who have placed in his or her area of expertise. However, there is one sport that has only been awarding medals to one gender. Don’t expect to see any women on the podium during the ski jumping ceremony — they’re not allowed to compete. (more…)

Hale illuminates Viking ship past

By Jonah Comstock, Editor in Chief

Although Professor of Anthropology at the University of Louisville John Hale’s lecture on the Viking longships, held Tuesday morning at 11 a.m. in Scovel Hall, was billed as illustrated, the brightness of the morning and the snow outside rendered his slides all but useless.  Even without the illustrations, however, Hale’s lecture, entitled “Dragons of the North: The World of Viking Longships,” was quite animated.

Do not be alarmed if you are in Cleveland next week and see over 50 women smashing scales with sledge hammers, bowling balls and baseball bats in the middle of a field.  The “scale smashing” is the kickoff to a series of events open to the public hosted by The Eating Disorder Advocates of Ohio for National Eating Disorder Awareness Week.

Awkwardness has its benefits

Last week, Laney Austin ’11 wrote about how awkward everyone on this campus is.  I’m not going to argue with her — there are a lot of awkward people at Wooster.  And sometimes they can be hard to deal with.  Even I, as a somewhat awkward person, often find those more awkward than I  am trying to be at times.  But these people serve an important function.  I believe that it is awkward people who make this campus great.

Letters to the Editor

To the Editors:

Last week, the Voice featured the headline:  “FMF claims local clinics misleading: asserts that pregnancy centers withhold facts from patients.” I found many of its arguments inaccurate.

The writer herself admits that the claim that “four pregnancy resource centers within five miles of The College of Wooster campus are, in fact, ‘fake’ crisis pregnancy centers” is inaccurate. There is only one CPC within five miles of campus. (more…)

To the Editors:

As the Beall Avenue Streetscape project through the College nears its end, I hope students will change their habits and cross only in the new brick-paved crosswalks.

For a very long time, students have crossed the street wherever they wanted to. While construction has been going on, few cars have been using the street and students have gotten even more into the habit of crossing anywhere. Now that the project through the campus is nearly over, automobile traffic is starting to pick up again. Old habits need to be updated. (more…)

Our View

Our View on Lowry and C-Store

While the expanded hours of Mom’s since 2008 had been a welcome addition to students who were still hungry well past midnight, there were adverse effects as well. Too many students came in drunk, disorderly and disrespectful on Friday and Saturday nights, and customers often pocketed food from the convenience store. This contributed to long lines, which frustrated both customers and staff. In response, Campus Dining Services came up with a solution that has helped all parties. For this, they should be commended.

The Lowry Center Coffee Bar and Convenience Store, built during winter break, offers fresh coffee as well as convenience store products that were previously part of Mom’s. This has enabled Mom’s to streamline their late-night menu, keeping lines short, as well as freeing up extra dining space and creating a warmer atmosphere downstairs. (more…)

Judicial board deserves more credit

After three years as a member of the Voice staff, I value honesty in reporting. And as a hearing board member for the College’s Judicial Board, I value admitting to one’s mistakes.

Alexander Lans’s article in the Jan. 29 edition entitled “Judicial Board Needs Reevaluation” does not hold these same values. (more…)
