Written by Rowley on January 26th, 2012Yesterday, President Glotzbach and Dean of Student Affairs Rochelle Calhoun informed the student body of an ongoing health scare in Starbuck Center. According to the emails, fifty employees working in Starbuck are in the process of being moved to other locations on campus “until we have a clear understanding of the situation.
It is unclear what, exactly, is happening in Starbuck, as President Glotzbach did not reveal any specifics. However, it seems pretty serious if the College has chosen to completely relocate offices and retain the services of an industrial hygienist.
Those with questions or concerns have been advised to contact Human Resources at 580-5804. Upon calling that number, I was transferred to Health Services. My conversation with a representative was brief, with requests for information answered with a succinct response revealing nothing of import. Given the precarious legal nature of this situation, it’s likely that the Administration will keep relatively quiet until more is known.
Updates will be forthcoming.
UPDATE: The changes, according to Rochelle Calhoun, are as follows:
- Office of Academic Advising, Registrar and Student Academic Services will be re-located to the fourth floor of Palamountain.
- Bursar, Card Services and Student Financial Aid will be re-located to the second floor of Palamountain.
- Career Services, First Year Experience and Off-Campus Study and Exchange will be re-located to Case Center.

Comedy Workshop Meets Again This Saturday!
Written by ThivNav on January 25th, 2012The comedy workshop (which is OPEN TO ALL!) is meeting again this Saturday 1/28 from 4-6PM in Ladd 206. It’s a great opportunity to learn the basics about improv, stand-up, sketches, and being a hilarious person in general. It’s really fun, and the atmosphere is totally chill and I’m making a money-back guarantee right now that you’ll learn a lot–about comedy, about friendship, and maybe… even… about yourself!
So come!
Or don't....

Talking Heads Cover Band to Play Jillian’s in Albany
Written by Bruce on January 25th, 2012Halloween weekend 2011 was memorable for many reasons, but it was mainly due to the Talking Heads cover band, Start Making Sense. These guys were insanely good, as anyone who was there for the entire 3+ hour show can attest to (I’m looking at you, gang of Charlie Brown-inspired ghosts).
If you have a ride and the $13, this is definately worth checking out. You may not know all of the songs, but they’re still really fun to dance to, and when they play the hits, it is bananas. Tickets here, show at Jillian’s.

The Club Fair Returns

Oh shit, someone's signing up for SEC!
This Friday, January 27, the Club Fair will once again take over the inside of Case from 3:30 to 5pm, where you will be coerced into signing up for clubs you don’t really care about by people you barely know/cute girls. You will also inevitably shove pounds of free candy into your face.
Friday, 3:30 – 5pm @ Case Center
Julia Nunes to Play Conan Tonight
Written by Bruce on January 24th, 2012

Julia Nunes is going to play Conan O’Brien tonight. Some of you n00bs are like, ok, good for her, why do I care?
Now that she’s graduated and online creeps won’t track her down, we don’t think there’s too much harm in letting you know that Julia – star ukelele signer and songwriter who made it huge with impressively multi-layered YouTube videos – once graced the covered walkways of Skidmore. Ok, it wasn’t that hard to figure out, especially with her appearances in Beatlemania and such, and there was probably some Skid logo somewhere in those dorm room videos she made, but now we’re all on the same page.
Congratulations Julia, we’re so very proud of you. Kisses!
If, like me, you decided to spend your cable budget on beer and therefore can’t watch the show live, it will probably be available on Hulu or TeamCoco tomorrow.

Written by Bruce on January 24th, 2012On Wednesday, BARE will be meeting at the unconventional time of 8:15pm in the more conventional meeting spot of Ladd 206. Rumor has it, rumor has it, rumor has it that the discussion will be on ‘dirty talk’, and that BARE plans to do some more outreach this semester in addition to the ‘zine.
Start working on your submissions, too.
Rowr!
