It is a newspaper sewing as a vehicle of expression for the Asian, Black and Hispanic mem- bers of the Wesleyan community. We endeavor to be enlightening and address artistic, aca- demic, political and social issues affecting minority life here and uout there. Photos, articles, poems, essays . . .we welcome contributions from all artists of color. We'd love to have more staff and contributors because we know there are many talented lbut shyl artists at Wesleyan. Another lofty ambition is to have all three minority groups equally in- volved and interested. Finally, we'd love to have Grace Jones la fellow slave to the rhythml come see us one weekend. Perhaps we can fit it into next year's budget . ..

The Wesleyan Argus The Argus 121 st and best year was highlighted by the biggest news event in a long while: the resignation of President Colin Campbell which resulted in the first Special Edition Argus in a decade. Under the stewardship of hrst semester co-editors David Williams and Paul Rooney, the once-a-semester joke issue created quite a stir with its announcement of a pending 18.5 percent tuition hike, bringing a raft of angry letters and phone calls to President Campbell, and necessitating a blurb in the Red and Black to allay parent and alumni angst. Joel Brown and Michael Cardin were elevated to the editorship midyear, and covered such gripping events as Charles Lemeit's resignation as dean and Eclectic's sophomore grave robbers. Their joke issue also created quite a stir with its announcement of forced fraternity coeducation and the naming of PLO Chairman Yasir Arafat as graduation speaker. The entire Argus gang greatly enjoyed maintaining and expanding its century and a quarter old tradition as the chroniclers of the rich and varied Wesleyan experience. 23
