UTC Students Need More Study Parties. And Costumes. And Face Painting
From an editorial titled "Entertainment needed to save campus" in the most recent edition of the UTC Echo...
Yes, we're a college, but we're also babysitters. Just like one wouldn't expect a child one was watching to just sit there and be good, university administrators can't realistically expect students to just sit in their dorms and study.During the week, we need study parties. These parties would not cost much to get a good turn out. You'd be amazed how many people will show up if you promise them free pizza, even for something as abhorrent as schoolwork.
On the weekends, we need this place to become Club UTC. We need music and dancing and lights. We need entertainment.
We need costumes and face painting. In short, we need something fun to do; because the alternative is unthinkable.
The writer has a point. College students do love them some costumes and face painting.

How Great Thou Art: Eric Jackson Has Left The Pulse
by Bill Colrus
Editor
(Reprinted from today's issue of The Pulse.)
When Aaron Mesh left The Pulse in November, I wasn’t really surprised. Despite the quality work he was contributing as our city editor, his real love was always film, and I knew that any job that would allow him to focus exclusively on film would be just too appealing for him to turn down. And so he left, taking over the screen editor slot at Portland’s Willamette Week.
When our art director, Eric Jackson, announced two weeks ago that he was leaving for a new job, I was surprised. (Called to meet outside by one of our publishers, I thought I was being asked to help bring in some papers from the van when I was told the news.)
