New Parking Plan
Parking is now assigned by seniority and permits have increased $50 to $150/year. The increase in parking permits is due to the College’s initative to go green. The two major construction projects, N. Professor St. and the Litoff Building, have caused the College redistribute cars to less central lots. Students must register their cars before September 4th.

In a few weeks, CIT will double Internet connection speed. The College signed a contract with Time Warner Cable last spring that provides a fiber link, which allows for an increase of bandwidth speed of up to one gigabit per second. Our bandwidth is currently 90 megabits per second and will double to 180 Mbps.

William Schulz '71 uctv.tv
“The most immoral action that someone can do is to fail to mourn their losses…that most of our impulses to strike out or harm another person emerge out of a failure to acknowledge, honor, and process our own losses in life, that most of our pernicious, cruel cruelty emerges out of a failure to recognize the ways in which we have been harmed.”–Bill Schulz
Bill Schulz graduated in ’71 and went on to be the President of the Unitarian Universalist Association from 1985-1993 and the Director of Amnesty International U.S.A. from 1994-2006. We met Bill in Washington D.C., where he currently works as a Senior Fellow for the Center for American Progress.

New CMS Sexiness
Your computer has syphilis. www.wadsworth.org
An email sent out by CIT on August 12th concerning Safe Connect, the new Network Access Control system, inspired a small student reaction that caused CIT to put the program on hold. CIT will hold two open forums on the weeks of September 14th and 21st to present their plan to students directly and walk them through it.

2:19 p.m. Finally got up the courage to wander outside, after grueling day yesterday. Goal: Stop obsessing about the website and fall into undercover persona. Can’t find super-secret recorder. Bad sign.
2:23 p.m. North Quad: Empty except for Frisbee. Where are the hordes? Swipe is currently not working, so I cannot attack Barrows.
2:31 p.m. Wilder Bowl: Empty. Wtf.
2:35 p.m. Couldn’t open OCMR. Have actually turned into a freshman.

We talked to John Petersen ’88, the Department Chair of Environmental Studies, today about the Bike Derby. “Savagery is really the only good word for it. Just savagery,” he said. Then he sat back, shaking his head and repeating once more, “Savagery.”
He told us to check out a youtube video of it, and we think you should too. It’s a valuable tidbit of Oberlin History.
Part 1 (and don’t forget Part 2 where the savagery intensifies)
