Alumni Sign Up Sheet!
Deaf Kitchen One nice thing about this protest is that it is, in the words of Steffi Ellis ('97), organic--meaning that various groups are popping up, like mushrooms after a rainfall, to take charge of various logistics and operations.

My Heart Bleeds for Gallaudet
Deaf Kitchen It was not a good feeling leaving campus at 4pm today. The euphoria of last night's faculty vote announcement was replaced today by the realization that JFK doesn't seem to be budging. In fact, things have gone from bad to worse with the homecoming furor and the appearance that no one seems to know what to do next. The students have spoken. The alumni have [...]Tue, Oct 17 2006 · hide this blog
Top 10 Reasons Jane Should Resign
Deaf Kitchen One of the biggest challenges the protestors have had is articulating their message--not only to the outside media but also to various parts of the Gallaudet, and Deaf, communities. Sure enough, I've heard about 232 different reasons why Jane has to go. In an attempt to narrow it down, I asked 10 people on the street for their top reason that Jane should resign. Here [...]Tue, Oct 17 2006 · hide this blog

Deaf Kitchen This amateur crowd-counter estimates over 1000 people at the front gate now, still euphoric after the faculty announcement an hour ago. The crowd includes a lot of students, alumni, faculty, and staff. Spirits are high. A modified Bison Song was sung, protest-themed. Crowd asked for, and got, an encore. Rally still going strong!

Naps...Then and Now
Deaf Kitchen Naps were a REQUIREMENT during DPN. I would catch a nap after pulling all-nighters. I would nap anywhere (in my SBG office, in my room, outside). Unfortunately, these naps would last a couple hours.

Black Friday Aftermath

Deaf Kitchen NAD President Bobbie Beth Scoggins' recent demand that the Gally BoT take over operations from the Administration only increases pressure on this body.
