SSH is poised to begin distributing handguns with gloves taped to them to murderers, contingent upon the success of the Solo cup campaign. SSH wants BC students to know that sex cannot be consensual if alcohol is in either party’s system… unless you’re too hammered to read their poster. Dear SSH: We go to BC, [...]
We would like to congratulate the AHANA Leadership Council (ALC) and the GLBTQ Leadership Council (GLC) for their efforts at further transparency. By releasing budgets, these two groups have shown that they hold themselves accountable for the student funds allocated to them each year. We would take issue, however, with the manner in which the [...]
The Boston College Students for Sexual Health’s (BCSSH) new initiative to help host “responsible parties” is misguided despite good intentions. Behind the idea to supply condoms to parties on campus discretely by taping them to the bottom of Solo cups lies a dangerous, hypocritical oversight on the part of BCSSH leaders. The group insists that [...]
Things to Tell You, Dear Readers: For Single Men: If you like her, ask her out. If you think you might like her, ask her out. No, really. Consider this your sign. ASK HER OUT. You don’t have to plan some extravagant first date; a chat over a cup of coffee will suffice. And if [...]
In an effort to solidify its position as the “Least Green Paper on Campus,” The Observer printed twice the number of copies as usual for the issue. The excess were doused in oil, and burned. We also shot an elephant. It was an endangered one. We used its trunk to make piano keys. Which we [...]
Dear Jacq, I went on four dates with this guy and then decided that I didn’t want to go on any more dates with him. He kept calling me, so I’d say stuff like, “I’m really busy this week” and things I thought were obvious “not interested” signals. When he called me, I’d always call [...]
The Observer wants to congratulate the Boston College men’s hockey team for its hard work and superb performances this year on the ice. Making it to the Frozen Four is no small achievement. Our hockey team has given students a number of reasons to take a great deal of pride in BC athletics. The Eagles [...]
The Observer published a line-item UGBC budget in 1995, citing the right of the students to know where their then-$60 fee was spent. Now that the fee has risen to $244, including a $54 increase this year, knowledge of where student money is spent becomes even more crucial. We reaffirm the fact that students have [...]
Michael Reer left The Observer to write his two senior theses. Michael Reer left The Observer to “secretly” join the Stasi. Apparently he thought The Observer’s name referred to a surveillance training program. Michael Reer left The Observer to pursue a career with the College Democrats. Observer editors skated home from their meeting upon hearing [...]
