A Frustrated Alumnus
Mishka Zena Peggy is not the only person to feel this way. Many alumni, including me, feel the same way. We all don’t understand the actions of I.K.

Students Hurt!
People of the Eye MSSD gate was recently forced open by DPS. They bulldozed the gate open. There were NO INTERPRETERS on the scene. Students were seriously injured. They also dumped massive heaps of “trash” by the front gates, mostly consisting of tents and students’ possessions. Students are very angry. More to come.

WE MUST BE TRUE ROLE-MODELS
Columbia, South Carolina for FSSA Again, we MUST be TRUE role-models for those deaf and hard of hearing children. Why did I (the author) say this?It is because I had been following the blogs, vlogs, webclips, and all other information off the Internet...one thing disappoints me greatly. I notice that the journalism among a few "reporters" are not very good because I notice that most did not do their [...]

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. Witness the football players' takeover of the entire campus *apart* from the 300-400 occupants of Hall Memorial Building nearly 2 weeks [...]
