Through the Teach for America program, a college graduate with a Bachelor’s Degree in any discipline commits to teach for two years in an impoverished school after just five weeks of training. If you don’t see a problem with this, then indulge me again by imagining that instead of happening at some unknown “poor school”, this happened at your own high school.

On Jan. 21, The Greenville News ran an article entitled, “Greenville voters ‘disgusted’ with campaigning, make their choices,” describing local voters fed-up with the Republican primary. A survey created and distributed by the Paladin suggests that this general sense of discontentment may extend to Furman’s campus.

This week, Furman students witnessed the first ever on-campus screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. EROS (Encouraging Respect of Sexualities) sponsored the screening, showing it Monday and Tuesday night. A costume contest followed each screening which resulted in this writer receiving 2nd place for his interpretation as Dr. Frank-N-Furter.
