On Tuesday, November 15, Dr. Warren Rosenberg, along with students Reed Hepburn and Devin Kelley, delivered the 2011 Bankart Gender Talk, titled, “Either I’m the Bitch, or He’s the Bitch: Why Wabash Needs a Gender Studies Graduation Requirement.” The talk received quite the attention. The talk was held in Center Hall room 216 and by [...]

Anyone who knows me knows that I am a committed punk. I used to have very long hair. I love metal music. And I’ll often forgo the double-Windsor for the much lazier Four-in-hand method when I’m tying my tie for church. I just can’t be tamed. I think everyone my age has a little bit [...]

Homecoming weekend. It’s exciting, it’s stressful, and like just about everything at Wabash, it’s teeming with tradition. For Alumni and many upperclassmen, Homecoming weekend lasts about 72 hours, from Chapel Sing to whenever the victory celebrations cease Saturday night (more likely Sunday morning). For us freshmen however, preparation for some aspects of Homecoming began weeks [...]

The other day I was listening to National Public Radio (I know, ironic) and, as I am both a political science and German major, I could not help but listen to the ever-growing concern about the European Union. For those of you who might not know, which I am not even sure is possible unless [...]

“Either he’s the Bitch, or I’m the Bitch.” It’s a phrase that has certainly made its way around campus. Attributed to Mr. Devin Kelly ’12, the phrase was a discussion point in his senior seminar English course on gender, and has become the catch phrase for the gender studies requirement discussion on campus.

It was the morning of November 15th. The gender issues committee was sponsoring a presentation and light lunch that day. They planned to pitch their proposal for a new course requirement to the student body and clear up any misconceptions about the nature of their mission. The talk was titled: “‘Either I’m the Bitch, or [...]

Thanksgiving happened recently, and it was an awfully good day for me! I’d spent an entire year storing up things to be thankful for, and frankly I’m not sure I could have dammed the tides of my thankfulness very much longer. When the morning finally arrived and my alarm went off promptly at 7:30am, I [...]

“Can ______ become the next President of the United States?” “_____ doesn’t have a chance.” ”Let us talk instead about our big two frontrunners!” This is common not only from our voices, but from the media on both sides. The media’s habit of picking frontrunners hurts not only the diversity of the field of candidates, [...]

Lately, there has been a lot of stir at Wabash over proposed changes in the curriculum of the college. One of the hottest topics has been whether Wabash students should be required to take a class in what is called “gender studies”. Is there something about Wabash or something about education in general that makes [...]

It was just recently that National Association of Wabash Men president and member of the Class of 1987 Greg Castanias delivered a chapel talk on the implications of what it means to be a Wabash man, and how the prevalence of Wabash men is so small, yet far too unique to discount. He delivered the [...]
