The Allies and Queers want you to come (to) Out in October. Out in October is the fall awareness week - there is one each semester - for the Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-Transgender (L.G.B.T.) community. The week is about educating peers, creating a safe haven for diverse sexuality, promoting tolerance and just bonding with fellow Allies and Queers.

The thought of venturing "off-campus" can sometimes be daunting. College students are often ostracized (as are the Wooster community members) from the town they live in, and sometimes the reason for this is differences in class.

Are you looking to dance but you're bored by the U.G. scene? Or maybe you'd just like an interesting new meal? The International Student Association and the South Asia Committee (S.A.C.) are two on-campus groups that seek to create a harmonious, tolerant and informed international student body, as well as give you a break from the same old.

It has officially been a year since I first came to the United States. A lot of things changed this year, and they are still ongoing. I have made many friends at the College, and they have to be part of my best memory. And thanks to Facebook, I can treasure those memories and access photos of them any time, from anywhere.

Last year, the theme of the Wooster Forum Series was "Green Footprints on the Blue Planet." Intended as a way to expose students to a range of environmental issues and perspectives and a stimulus for thinking about the global impact of human life, the forum was part of a wave of new, ecologically conscious initiatives at both campus and local levels.
