Advocating the use of alcohol

The Comment, Bridgewater State College, MA

Bridgewater State College does not allow postings which advocate the use of alcohol or illegal substances. This is a viewpoint biased policy, and it seems to me that it is unconstitutional for that reason. Even if it is not unconstitutional, I will argue that it should be removed.

A Story Of Halloween Homophobia

The Heights, Boston College, MA

1 day ago by Tony Jennaro

This Halloween, my roommates (four straight men and one gay man) and I (a gay man) decided to dress up as the Village People.

I chose to be the Navy sailor, with a low v-neck cut uniform complete with cut-off sleeves and a sailor hat. On Friday, we celebrated Halloween with a registered party in our fabulously decorated on-campus apartment.

Unfortunately, one incident dampened what was a fantastic start to the Halloween weekend. Midway through about our fifth spin of "Y.M.C.A.," one of my straight roommates started dancing with me. Almost immediately, two of our guests took out their cameras, and amid laughter, began taking pictures as if we were animals in a zoo. It bothered me in the moment, but I was able to brush it off as an isolated incident.

Campus Mourns O'Malley

Yesterday, Rev. Thomas P. O'Malley, S.J., former dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, passed away from an apparent heart attack. He was 79.

In addition to his recent service as a BC administrator, O'Malley also served as president of Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles and John Carroll University in Cleveland, Ohio before returning to BC 10 years ago as a professor.

Rev. Joseph Appleyard, S.J., vice president for university mission and ministry, said in a recent obituary that O'Malley's lasting impact will remain with those who knew him at the University. "Though Tom O'Malley was a significant figure in the histories of three Jesuit universities - in Boston, Cleveland, and Los Angeles - I suspect that what the legion of friends he left in these places will remember most, beyond any of his administrative accomplishments, is his lightly worn erudition, his deep knowledge of scripture, his ability to light up any conversation with a good story, and of course his booming laugh," he said.

As I keep writing this at midnight, I know that I've got no crew practice to look forward to - at least for tomorrow. Going to crew practice had almost become an indispensable part of my daily life.

I've never been a 'sporty' person.

Derek Trucks Band

Butch Trucks, the drummer for The Allman Brothers Band, has a nephew that is the only apparent heir to slide virtuoso Duane Allman: Derek Trucks. He mostly plays slide guitar, something seldom heard. His childhood was spent among the Allman Brothers Band, and it shows; he is definitely influenced by their blues, but Trucks also has a background in jazz.
