Fighting Against
Radical Feminism

Michelle Easton takes a question at Wednesday night’s lecture
The Wabash Commentary is
known for bringing contentious speakers to Wabash,
and Wednesday night’s lecture
by Michelle Easton was no
exception. Easton, the President and founder of the Claire
Luce Booth Policy Institute,
gave a lecture titled, “The
Failures of Feminism.” The
lecture, cosponsored by the
Young America’s Foundation,
was in Baxter Hall’s Lovell
Lecture room. Many people
attended, and several people
challenged Easton in the following question and answer
session.
“Her talk was essentially
how political leaders of the
feminist political movement
have failed to live up to the
things they once wanted,”
Geoff Calvin ’08 said. “But
that’s not the failures of feminism. She never had a definition of feminism.” Easton’s
lecture presented a critique of
what she described as radical
gender feminism. However,
many attendees questioned
what they said was a broad
picture of a major movement.
Professor David Timmerman accused Easton of “collapsing everything down to a
political continuum for the
sake of convenience.” However, Easton responded that
the feminist movement and its
representations in organizations like the National Organization for Women themselves
are very political. Easton
detailed the political activism
of NOW and the Ms. Foundation for Women as evidence
that radical feminist organizations themselves desire to be
political.
“Government itself serves
as the male replacement in
their lives,” Easton said,
detailing the activism of
NOW.
“Feminists want to talk
about feminist philosophy, but
feminism is not a philosophy,
it is an ideology,” Easton said.
“Talking about feminist philosophy is like stuffing an elephant into a Coke bottle.”
However, Professor Cheryl
Hughes asked Easton what
feminist philosophers she had
read. “I usually stick to conservative books, myself,” Eas-

Students for Sustainability Launch Green Bikes at Wabash
Ashley Stephen
news editor
If you don’t like the price of
gas or you would just like to
tour Crawfordsville in the
open air on a sunny spring day,
what better way to get around
than by bike?
Now with the Green Bikes
program of the Wabash Students
for
Sustainability
(WSFS), every able-bodied
member of the Wabash community has the opportunity to
get around on a bicycle.
Members of WSFS could be
seen placing the “new” bicycles about campus Tuesday
afternoon. By Wednesday,
news of their existence had
spread and students were out
taking full advantage of the
new opportunity, as they could
be seen riding about campus
with friends, enjoying the sun-
shine and moderate temperatures.
“I thought they’d be stolen
in about a day but it seems as
though it’s working out pretty
well,” Adam Fritsch ’09 said.
“I’ve heard nothing but good
things about it.”
“I think it’s a great idea,”
said Nathan Bates ’07 as he
stood watching some cyclists
on the green bikes pass. “I just
hope no one trashes them.”
If you have any problems
with the bikes, WSFS ask that
you contact Director of the
Green Bikes program Tyler
Carr (carrt@wabash.edu) as
soon as possible. When reporting a problem, WSFS ask that
you include the bike number in
your email.
The Green Bikes program
currently has six bikes but
more are on the way. If you are
interested in donating a bicy-
cle to the program, or if you
are interested in helping maintain and prepare bikes for use
in the program, contact Tyler
Carr.
The Green Bikes are for
community use, so get out and
enjoy the weather, run those
errands without buying gas, or
just do some fun exercising.
Wabash Students for Sustainability ask you to remember to:

SENIOR GIFT CAMPAIGN: Class of 2006
(information as of April 4, 2006)
Nick Leon
leonn@wabash.edu
As the end of the year
approaches, it is once again time
for Wabash Seniors to think
about their transition from
Wabash student to Wabash alumnus. The Senior Gift Campaign
continues tradition by providing
seniors their last opportunity to
give back to Wabash before graduating. The purpose of this campaign is to raise money for
Wabash’s Annual Fund and to
build good habits in our future
alumni.
Currently, 92% of Wabash
students are on need-based or
merit-based scholarships, show-
ing the importance of alumni
generosity. The campaign will
be running from now until April
26th, which will we capped off
by a Senior Cookout held by the
National Association of Wabash
Men.
There is a representative from
each fraternity on campus and
three representatives for independents, who are collecting
pledges and gifts from Wabash
Seniors. Each senior is asked to
pledge $25 a year for three years,
however any amount is welcomed.
Seniors can donate to this
campaign one of two ways. They
can pledge a certain amount,
which means they promise to pay
the money at a specified point in
the future, or they can make a
gift, which means they donate the
money at that point. Seniors are
also able to make payment plans
to make it very easy to donate.
Last year almost 70% of the
senior class made a gift or donation and Joe Klen ‘97 and Robert
Busch ‘96 are hoping for even
better results this year. “It is a
great opportunity for the Senior
Class to come together and support Wabash,” Klen said.
With a class of 114, seniors
last year donated $18,000 in
pledges and $4,000 in gifts,
which obviously has a huge
impact on Wabash College.
Seniors are encouraged to donate
to the Annual Fund, but can also
donate to specific areas on campus, such as a house renovation
or student scholarships.
The Senior Cookout will be
held on Wednesday, April 26th
and all participants will receive a
free shirt. In addition, any senior
that has made a gift by that point
will be entered in a raffle. For
more information about the campaign contact Joe Klen, Roger
Busch, or any representative,
who are listed in this issue. The
Bachelor will keep Wabash
updated with the progress of the
Senior Gift Campaign.

This Week in Student Senate Letter to the Editor
Tanner Kinkead
kinkeadm@wabash.edu
This week, Student Senate
decided on the fate of the Formal, a question which had initially been raised two weeks
ago. After very little discussion, the Senate voted overwhelmingly not to have a Formal next year. Reasons cited
over the last two weeks were
lack of attendance at last
year’s formal, cost (last year’s
formal ran nearly $15000), and
lack of Senator interest in
managing such an operation.
The new Board of Publications chair, Nick Gregory, also
made an appearance, a welcome change from the lack of
BoP presence at Senate meetings all semester. The Senate
unanimously voted to confirm
him. The new chair promised
to have a better relationship
with the Senate and provide
stronger leadership. The BoP
had its voting rights reinstated,
along with TKE and Delt.
Senate voted to re-institute
both the Cycling and Water
Polo clubs. The Water Polo
club also requested $600 for
headgear and equipment,
which it received after Senate
suspended the $150 probationary spending limit.
The
Cycling club re-formed so that
Kevin Meyer, a FIJI and a
semi-professional
cyclist,
could have a club, which was
necessary for him to go to
nationals. The Senate also
approved $50 to pay for his
entry fee to nationals.
The AFC proposed setting
the Student Activities Fee for
next year at $225 per semester.
The Business Office automatically raises the activities fee,
The Café Committee has been in touch
with Starbucks regarding a coffee house
on campus. Starbucks is expected to
give two reports to the Dean of Students, one of which would entail the
creation of an actual Starbucks on campus, the other would be a college-run
coffee house that stocks Starbucks
products. A decision is expected on the
matter before the end of the semester.
which was $213 per semester
this year, in accordance with
tuition. The activities fee was
already slated to be $225 per
semester next year. The Senate voted to set the activities
fee at $225 per semester, a
move which will prevent the
Business Office from raising
the activities fee further without a Senate vote.
The Senate also discussed
the fate of the two crew boats
which were left over from the
Crew Club. Crew has not been
active in several years. The
boats had been kept in storage
in Brownsburg, and have
accrued a holding fee of
approximately $2800. The
company responsible for storing the boats has given an
offer of $6500 for the largest
one. Senator Miller (Martindale) will contact local Crew
organizations to see if they are
interested in purchasing the
boat.
The Green Corps, soon to
be renamed the Students for
Sustainability, requested reallocations in their budget. They
reallocated $150 to offset
unexpected costs from their
free bikes program, and reallocated $600 of their budget
towards providing money for
students to attend a sustainability conference at Berea
College in Kentucky.
SSAC reported that Pat
Greene has so far sold less
than a hundred tickets. Tickets
will not be sold at the door,
and all tickets will need to be
purchased in advance. Students will need their student
IDs for admission at the door.
Finally, the Café Committee
has been in touch with Starbucks regarding a coffee house
on campus.
Starbucks is
expected to give two reports to
the Dean of Students, one of
which would entail the creation of an actual Starbucks on
campus, the other would be a
college-run coffee house that
stocks Starbucks products. A
decision is expected on the
matter before the end of the
semester.
Senators not in attendance
for the week of 3/28/06: Smith
(Lambda Chi), Flowers (BoP),
and Murrell (Phi Delt).
Last week, The Commentary published an article about me
and an incident with the IMA. What they told you was about a
silly mistake. What they didn't tell you was the rest of the story.
As has been the tradition for a long time, the minutes were
full of jest and unfortunately contained some off-color remarks.
It was silly and irresponsible of me to continue such a tradition
this time. The minutes were meant for the Association members
and to be viewed in that context. Not only were they taken out
of that context, but they were put into a new context which misrepresented the entire situation.
Dr. White did not read the minutes: the copies at his table
were gone and he did not stay for the entire meeting. He was
rushed. Even so, I was embarrassed because of my mistake and
I indeed tendered my resignation.
The Executive Council refused it, saying that a silly mistake
can be forgiven. After that, I publicly apologized to the delegation and have since changed the structure of the minutes: they no
longer contain jokes or off-color remarks as they have for so
long.
The Commentary engaged in bad journalism by not verifying
its source material and they engaged in an unnecessary ad
hominem attack on me. There was no reason to include my
name while blacking out every other one.
I would suggest that if The Commentary is so concerned about
the Gentleman's Rule and upholding the high standards of
Wabash, they should have come to me in person rather than
slinging mud at my name and smearing me all over campus.
I am sorry if anyone has been offended by my irresponsibility. The situation has been rectified to the best of my ability; I
have done everything I can to make sure that it never happens
again. So, my fellow Wallies, we should indeed act like Gentlemen; but we should not crucify our fellow Wabash Men for one
silly mistake that has been rectified just so that we can appear to
be righteous.

The Usual
Caution
This weekend the Wabash students seem poised on the brink
of a respite of blissful forgetfulness. Now is that time of year
where we all pull out those dusty syllabi and start reading everything under the bold-face title “Final Project.”
Yes, it’s the time of year when bewildered students actually
may wander into the library with crumpled up papers and
chewed-thin pencils with confused looks on their faces. It’s that
time of year when those late nights in the armory will make your
head spin in the hours spent under the fluorescent lights and the
dimly lit computer screen.
Yet, before all of this craziness starts, and before we permanently damage the spines of our textbooks, it seems that we have
one weekend left to spend all of our procrastination energy. One
National Act weekend where the spirits will be flowing and the
temptation for irresponsibility will remain high.
It’s easy to find out where this argument will continue. Be
sure to enjoy your last moments of free time in a gentlemanly
manner. Even though the population of the campus may increase
greatly as the weekend draws closer, the extra faces cannot hide
any defacement of Wabash’s dignity. When you’re out amongst
the whisky-hazed crowd in the evenings this weekend, be sure
to remember that you still represent Wabash.
In fact, the very essence of Wabash is the students themselves
– the recent heated political battles of student power should be
evidence of our significance in the image of this school. We, as
students, are Wabash. When the visitors are here this weekend,
be sure to remember it.
Although we may go about our regularly scheduled shenanigans for the weekend, we shall indeed enjoy one last hurrah for
this National Act weekend. There won’t be much left of your
brain afterwards, but please do leave enough so that you might
continue to attend Wabash.
Some will party harder than others, but that does not mean
that any student is any less responsible for his work as the
semester winds down. Whether you like it or not, that 20 page
paper is still due in a short amount of time along with that project research you’ve been “meaning to do” for three weeks now
still looms as Scylla and Charybdis until the end of your journey
this semester.
As mentioned earlier, it is with the utmost certainty that we
expect much partying and such for the weekend. Of course, with
this comes the necessity of asking for at least somewhat good
decisions in the matters of debauchery. Remember, Sunday is a
nice day to unwind and recover from the weekend. Monday is
not.
Be safe, party well and prepare yourselves for the onslaught
to come in the final weeks of this school year.
Minority Report
April
is
indeed
the
c r u e l e s t
month, but it
has nothing to
do with the
lilacs or the
Patrick Smith dead land. In
smithpwabash.edu
a move of
monumental
idiocy, the Student Senate, acting in accord with the wishes
of the Student Life Committee,
has decided to resurrect the
moldering carcass of the
Senior Council. As with any
admirer of H.P. Lovecraft, the
macabre fascinates me, but this
ghoulish grave robbing is an
act of which I want no part.
John Brown’s body this ain’t.
To my way of thinking, the
anonymous glitterati behind
this scheme want to reanimate
this schoolyard Politburo
toward a singular end: the
complete domination of student life. Furthermore, I see
this as nothing less than an
attempt to disenfranchise completely independents on this
campus. At first blush, I would
be inclined to grant them, in a
patronizing sort of way, their
request. It is never for the best
to wake a sleepwalker. However, the seriousness of their ends
shakes me of that inclination.
“Running to an unaccountable,
unelected, and self-perpetuating
playground presidium in this case
makes about as much sense as
burning down a house to get rid of a
few termites.”
The wholesale removal of a
third of the student body from
all effect on decisions of
import is a grave matter
indeed. If fraternities truly
seek domination of student
life, and I think they do, then
they must work for it. Resurrecting a decaying corpse from
a bygone era is a craven strategy, barely worth the dismissal
it rightly deserves. However,
the rhetoric involved makes
the dismissal an interesting, if
not particularly difficult, problem. In the spirit of an explorer in a strange land, I will
explore exactly what thought
processes (such as I can determine any) are at work in this
case.
Their program rests on two
pillars: the inefficiency of the
Student Senate and appeals to
tradition. If the Student Senate
is bloated and inefficient, per-
haps the senators so eager to
embrace oligarchy should
examine the Senate more
closely. Be realistic: it is an
inanimate body, made up of
people. If a rock can be inefficient, so can the Senate. The
absurdity of that last sentence
makes the congruent absurdity
of their claim obvious. If the
Senate functions poorly, then
perhaps the Senators are to
blame. If the Audit and
Finance Committee is a bloated, squandering mess, then
perhaps all it needs is some
fresh blood. Running to an
unaccountable, unelected, and
self-perpetuating playground
presidium in this case makes
about as much sense as burning down a house to get rid of
a few termites.
The second point, the
tradition appeals, makes a

John Esposito: Scholar or Lobbyist?
David P. Kubiak
kubiakd@wabash.edu
I have always appreciated
Wabash’s Muslim students, and
over the years have had many
interesting conversations with
them about their home countries
and especially about Islamic religion. I was pleased when a space
was set aside on campus for their
daily prayer, and especially
pleased that the annual Ramadan
Dinner started several years ago is
now becoming a part of Wabash
tradition. The invited speakers
have been a highlight of these
events, and have done much to
help the community understand
more about the faith of Islam.
When I saw that an apparently distinguished scholar of Islamic studies had been invited to speak this
year I looked forward to another
evening of intelligent and edifying
discourse. Little did I know —
and no doubt little did our Muslim
students know — that what I
would encounter in John Esposito
was an arrogant and careless man,
who for over half an hour indulged
in an often offensive stream-ofconsciousness monologue more
suited to a comedy club than to a
serious college venue. If you
missed the talk and are curious you
can find its substance, complete
with the same jokes, on the Internet.
When young people stay in universities long enough they eventually discover the existence of cynical and opportunistic academics,
but rarely will these professors
announce themselves as openly as
Mr. Esposito did last week. We
heard about his stratospheric
salary, his two Lexus cars (he especially likes the second one), his
hobnobbing with emirs on yachts
equipped with helicopter landing
pads. And we heard that all this
was due to his having quite literally cashed in on the sudden need of
people in the West to know something about Islam and politics, and
the desire of other people in the
Middle East that a particular view
of these matters should be what
was known. How exactly do we
account for the academic profile of
Mr. Esposito, who wrote in 1998
that “Focusing on Osama bin
Laden risks catapulting one of
many sources of terrorism to center stage, distorting both the
diverse international sources of
terrorism…as well as the significance of a single individual”?
A recurring tactic in Mr. Esposito’s talk was to defend Islam —
which as a religion needs no
defense from anybody — by
sneering at Judaism and Christianity: Yaweh is just as mean as Allah
ever was, and of course the Christians started everything with the
Crusades. These are the kinds of
arguments I would expect a C&T
paper to reject as frivolous and
unscholarly. In particular there
were several cheap shots at conservative Roman Catholics. After his
reference
to
“Tridentine
Catholics,” which is a crude way
to describe people like me and
more than a few Wabash students,
I suddenly saw what was up. We
had to be listening either to an expriest or ex-seminarian. I can’t say
which, but Mr. Esposito’s biography does reveal that he spent ten
years in a Carmelite monastery
before shape-shifting into an
expert on Islam. There is a very
specific and deep-seated anger in
sixty-ish former Catholic clerics.
Often they had working class fam-

chance for the Zionist state except
to be dismantled and destroyed.”
Another connection Mr. Esposito
did not report is with Azzam Tamimi, a Hamas supporter who
founded in London The Institute of
Islamic Political Thought , where
Mr. Esposito sits on the Board of
Advisors. In 2001 Mr. Tamimi
told a Spanish newspaper: “I
admire the Taliban; they are very
courageous,” and that after the
attack on the Twin Towers, “In the
Arab and Muslim countries everyone jumped for joy.” Mr. Esposito
was called upon publicly to resign
from the Board of the organization
after these remarks, and to my
knowledge has failed to do so. It
might be pointed out that Mr.
Tamimi has access to limitless
Saudi Arabian money.
Mr. Esposito has been called
the poor man’s Edward Said. Mr.
Said spoke at Wabash a number of
years ago, and so we have heard
directly the argument of his
famous book Orientalism: that all
western concepts about the Middle
East are imperialistic constructs,
and that terrorism is ultimately
prompted by the racist behavior of
the people being attacked. Popularizing these ideas has been the
substance of Mr. Esposito’s career.
Islamist violence is caused by
western ignorance, and represents
an aberration equivalent to “a
Catholic priest’s followers blowing up an abortion clinic.” (I
would like to know exactly who
this priest is.) In fact, Mr. Esposito wrote his book The Islamic
Threat: Myth or Reality? precisely to show that what happened on
September 11, 2001 could not possibly happen. Unfortunately for us
all, the Clinton administration,
whose advisor Mr. Esposito was,
did not have the benefit of additions to its third, post 9/11 edition.
Then again, all that could be
learned is that we brought this
unspeakable evil on ourselves. As
one appreciative reviewer said
after reading another of the
author’s books, “…it becomes easier to understand the choices bin
Laden made.”
My regard for our Muslim students certainly remains unaffected
by the highly unpleasant experience of being part of Mr. Esposito’s captive audience. But in the
future I hope they will return to
inviting speakers whose specialty
is religion and not dangerous leftist
political theory.

This week Wabash’s Students for Sustainability delivered eight bright green bicycles to our campus bike racks.
Already students are using
them to zip back and forth
across campus or to run
errands in town. Indeed,
Wednesday, I had the pleasure
of riding one of the bikes down
to Sugar Creek. And what a
way to enjoy the afternoon!
Curtis Eilers and Tyler Carr
deserve our thanks and praise
for devising the Green Bikes
program and working hard to
make it a reality. Not only
have they provided the Wabash
Community with a fun and

ily origins in a religious culture
still largely unincorporated into the
professional and intellectual life of
America. The only place for
clever boys to go was into the seminary. When the walls of the
Catholic ghetto began to crumble
in the 60’s these men left clerical
life in droves, nursing resentment
against the fundamental western
institution that kept them from the
brilliant careers they felt they
could have made in the world.
I am by no means privy to his
individual story, but whatever it is,
Mr. Esposito made up for lost time
rather spectacularly. In his talk he
mentioned his working the Ph.D.
at Temple University; he did not
say that his teacher there was

who in the last part of his career
embraced the concept of the
“Islamization of knowledge”, in
which there is no distinction
between secular and religious or
state and church. Mr. Faruqi also
theorized about the difference
between authentic Jews, who are
with Muslims descendants of
Abraham, and Zionists. Of the latter Mr. Faruqi says in his book
Islam and the Problem of Israel :
“The Islamic position leaves no
to get around, they have truly
acted in the spirit of the Gentleman’s Rule.
Some on this campus
believe that the Gentleman’s
Rule is dead. This is wrong.
Such a belief runs counter to
the inherent optimism in our
motto: Wabash Always Fights.
While the Green Bikes program will no doubt act as a litmus test for the Gentleman’s
Rule, that consequence does
not detract from the fact that
Messrs, Eilers and Carr have
displayed the unconditional
optimism implicit in our motto
and the trust that our beloved
rule demands. Every student
should take note of these two
and follow suit, for they are
truly Wabash Men in both spirit and practice—-some Little
Giants indeed.

The Best Video Games You Never Played
Austin Crowder
crowdera@wabash.edu
Today’s edition of TBVGYNP, which consequently doesn’t make for a good acronym,
focuses on the shareware gem
Crimsonland. With gameplay
inspired by old arcade classics,
it will suck hours away from
your life with little trouble at
all.
The game itself is part of a
nearly-dead genre of overhead
run-‘n-gun shooters. In these
games the player controls an
on-screen avatar from a topdown perspective. Two joysticks, one for movement and
one for firing, allowed the
player to move in one direction
and fire in another. Classics
like Smash TV and Robotron
2084 brought the quarterpumping masses into the
arcades in their time.
Crimsonland throws players
into the role of a space marine
recently crash-landed on a hos-
tile alien planet with little
more than a pistol. You know
you are going to die. What
matters is how many of Them
you take down with you. Sure,
it won’t win any awards on the
strength of its writing, but this
is a game about shooting
hordes of alien creatures.
What more could you expect?
The game itself is an elegantly simple melding of fast
gameplay and tight controls.
The marine moves around with
the keyboard and his gun is
aimed with the mouse – it’s as
simple as that. For the first
minutes the game is a simple
question of point-and-shoot
action. Creatures will drop
power-ups: new weapons, bullet time, et cetera. Wading into
a sea of monsters to pick up a
shotgun is a rewarding and visceral experience, to say the
least.
After a few thousand points,
your character will have a
chance to level up.
The
“perks” you receive with these
level-ups mean the difference
between life and death. The
number and nature of these
power-ups run the gamut from
poison-tipped bullets to faster
running speed to a last second
nuke when your character dies.
Much of the strategy in this
game is in what perks you
choose and in what order you
choose them.
Perhaps the best part of
Crimsonland is that, no matter
your skill level, you will eventually die. The alien hordes
will slowly grow more powerful, throwing monsters into the
fray until you finally succumb
to the onslaught. This classic
gameplay mechanic ensures
that your Crimsonland performance could always be just
a little better, which adds to
the replay value significantly.
What makes the top-down,
run-‘n-gun experience enjoyable, I think, is the trance-like
state you enter when you play.
Individual monsters blend into
large groups that are always
closing down on you. The
name of the game here is to
find the biggest hole and dive
through. If there isn’t a hole,
you make one as you’re running headlong into the fray.
It’s an experience that’s hard
to emulate in most any other
genre, be it fighting game,
first-person shooter, or other-
wise.
Interested? You can get a
free trial version of Crimsonland
at
http://crimsonland.reflexive.co
m/. The game is cheap to buy
at about ten dollars and will
keep you playing for a very
long time.

Ice Age 2: The Meltdown
is Hot Sequel
Rob Fenoglio
fenoglir@wabash.edu
Let’s be honest. There are
two reasons why any of us
Wabash men would want to see
Ice Age 2: Sid, the hilarious and
idiotic sloth, and the main
attraction, Scrat, the little rat
who just wants his damn acorn.
Look at the marketing for this
film: 90% of it consisted of previews featuring the unsuccessful
antics of Scrat trying to get that
acorn. He is the reason why I
went and paid money to see this,
and his moments in the film
were definitely worth it.
I have not enjoyed a PG
movie like this since The Incredibles and that was in November
of 2004. The first Ice Age was a
very good film, in the CG sense
and in the comedy area. It had a
story at the heart of it and some
really cool extinct animals. Ice
Age 2 builds on this and creates
an even better story. Now that
viewers are familiar with the
characters, we want better action
sequences and more laughs.
Luckily, Ice Age 2 delivers.
The story for this film is that
the Ice Age is starting to come to
an end because of recent hot
temperatures. Everything is
melting, and this particular
group of animals must find a
way to get to safer ground in
three days before the sun melts
the surrounding ice, causing a
massive flood. Manny, the mammoth, played by Ray Romano, is
as dull as ever, but serves his
purpose as the protagonist for
the migration.
The story also revolves
around him because all of the
animals believe that Manny is
the last mammoth alive and he is
set out to find another mammoth. He does succeed in finding one, Ellie, played by the
spunky Queen Latifah. The only
catch with Ellie is that she
believes she is a possum.
Naturally, this wouldn’t be
Ice Age 2 without Diego the
saber-toothed tiger, played by
the sarcastically brilliant Denis
Leary, and Sid the sloth, played
by John Leguizamo. Sid is by
far the laugh factory in both
films and works fantastic when
opposite Diego. Sid’s idiotic
rants are the true gold of the
film.
One scene in particular that
had me laughing the most
involving Sid was when he
stumbles upon an intelligent
race of mini-sloths that worship
him as a king. They then mimic
every noise and movement he
makes, which creates a hilarious
scene of dance moves and ran-
dom noises.
Naturally there are plot holes,
but what seven-year-old is going
to notice that the rest of the herd
is a whole day’s walk ahead of
our main characters when a couple of scenes back every animal
was right next to each other?
They don’t care about the other
animals and neither do I.
This movie has an all animal
cast this time around (no human
babies to save). This keeps the
movie going quite well and thus
is able to help introduce some
villainous prehistoric creatures.
The twist with the two villains is
that they are water-dwelling.
Another plot hole follows:
how the heck did the villains
find water at every convenient
spot where the heroes are the
most vulnerable when there was
absolutely no trace of water
before? Once again, what sevenyear-old thinks this hard? Some
Wallies don’t even think this
hard!
Overall, Ice Age: The Meltdown is a great sequel and is a
great family film with the underlying theme that “being different
is ok.” This makes a lot of other
recent family films seem cold
and lifeless.

Caveman to Gentleman
Steve Egan
egans@wabash.edu
The phone is a relatively new
addition to modern communication. This however, provides no
excuse for the ignorant user.
Since almost everybody’s got
one now, it might not be a bad
idea to know how to use them.
Bob from accounting doesn’t
recognize your voice. Nobody
wants to guess who’s calling.
Unless you call someone on a
daily basis and have been doing
so for more than just a few
days, you’re not qualified to
say, “Hey it’s me.” If you get
an uninformed caller that insists
on using this phrase, don’t fret.
Allow the conversation to go on
for a few seconds until you can
collect enough clues to figure
out who the caller is. When
using the phone, introduce
yourself as if you were talking
to someone blindfolded. This
goes for both the caller and the
called. Assuming someone will
recognize your voice is a bad
idea.
Stick to a script. Any phone
call interrupts what someone is
doing. By writing down what
you want to say or at least having it mentally prepared, you’ll
prevent yourself from rambling
and wasting both your and your
listener’s time. Think about
what you want from your audience of one. Let them know
how they should respond and
what they need to do for you.
The script can be used whether
you get a live voice or just a
voicemail.
Be ready for the beep. If it
was important enough to call
then it’s important enough to
leave a message. The answering machine can be a useful tool
if you’re ready for it. The script
you’ve already prepared comes
in handy here too. A message
should always include who you
are, what you want, and how
you can be reached. If you
screw up mid-message most
phone services let you rerecord
by pressing star. Never assume
you’ll get your intended audience and be prepared for a callscreener.
Are you sure you want to do
this? Your buddy in the house
next door doesn’t really need to
know about how fast you just
chugged a gallon of milk.
Phoning someone isn’t always
the best way to communicate.
If your message is full of
details, it may be better if presented in email form, or just a
simple and short note. It’s easy
for people to get bogged down
with voicemails, so sometimes
face-to-face meetings are in
order, but beware since conversations are fleeting and easily
forgettable. Making a call is
always a good fall back option
if you’re not sure what to do.
Use the phone as you would
with any other tool; with
thought. It’s a tool that will
surely be around for a couple
more years so getting used to it
now will only help to further
ensure your success in the
future. Good call Wabash.

From Page 4
more interesting vivisection. More and more, I agree
with Gustav Mahler: “Tradition ist Schlamperei.” If you
don’t speak German, and I
don’t either, that means, “Tradition is slovenliness.” A mind
that runs to tradition at the first
opportunity is a mind that
clearly has problems with
innovation. I don’t want to use
the phrase “second-rate intellect,” so I leave any value
judgments to you, dear reader.
New problems call for new
solutions. It is not 1954, and to
pretend otherwise shows an
alarming, indeed, almost
pathological, level of selfdelusion. Eli Lilly, a major
benefactor to this college,
makes wonderful things to
help that these days.
Furthermore, none of the
proponents of this program
had to endure the rites of passage, such as they were, that
existed in 1954. It is very easy
to yearn for the past, never
having experienced that past.
However, I suppose – and I am
being charitable – that those
who cannot do, preach. Unfortunately, in the postmodern
age, words are almost worthless. Imposing a new order,
based on the Ancien Régime,
without knowing the first concrete thing about that old way
is a very dangerous idea. In the
words of Jim Steinman, “It
was long ago and far away and
it was so much better than it is
today.” Right.
In addition to this, there is
the extremely worrying notion
that these dance party apparatchiks will get to sit in judgment over students regarding
the Gentleman’s Rule. I, for
one, refuse to be told the first
thing about being a gentleman
by anyone who cannot avoid
wearing white after Labor Day.
The point of the Gentleman’s
Rule (in case you missed it
during Orientation) is that
each student strives to form his
own definition. With the education and experiences we
receive at Wabash, we can
form ever better ideas about
that singular rule. If you have
to be told what it means (especially by peers), then you have
absolutely no business at
Wabash.
Daniel Ortega, a lonely college turns its eyes to you. This
jungle-gym Junta of National
Reconstruction is so flimsy as
to fall apart at the first critical
examination. I think that the
cursory, and somewhat glib,
autopsy here shows that much.
This particular corpse should
be left in its quiet Midwestern
sepulcher. The fetid odor of
ancient decay is better left
underground, where it cannot
offend even the most insensitive nose, so to speak. Men
have no business transgressing
what history has deigned
appropriate. How’s that for traditionalism?
Let me be even more frank,
if that’s possible at this point.
This isn’t about tradition. This
isn’t about efficiency. This
isn’t even about consolidating
power. This is about an
attempt by a few to shove their
reactionary vision for Wabash
down the throats of the students. This crisis is a creation,
a fiction, as it were. In order
for the screaming, jackbooted
screed to have any effect, the
College must be in constant
crisis. We must be only one
lecture, one class, one play,
one area of concentration, or
one student event away from
complete collapse into decadence and immorality. The
Reichstag must always burn,
for to put the fire out means a
return to sanity, to normalcy.
We find ourselves in a twisted
Kulturkampf, straight out of
Orwell’s Oceania. Airstrip One
is always under attack, and
always has been. We have
affected an eternal return to a
dystopian 1984.
Does the Senior Council
matter? Not really. It is a bad
and stupid idea, but I have
faith that Wabash can endure
such ignorance. However, the
struggle for self-determinism,
intellectual independence, and
the spirit of the Gentleman’s
Rule is of far greater import.
This is, in effect, the last
pitched battle for the hearts
and minds of Wabash students.
There is a choice to be made
between unthinking reactionary emotion and calm, cool
reason and self-exploration. If
we surrender our self-government, our self-determination,
and our intellectual freedom
now, then we will have to pay
a price.
T.S. Eliot once wrote,
“Between the emotion and the
response falls the Shadow.” Do
we really want to find out if
that’s true? I, for my part,
don’t.

Gentleman’s Rule
Still Under Attack
Colin Rudnik
rudnikc@wabash.edu
I would not like to put forth
any conspiracy theories as to
why or how the IMA and Secretary Alex Coates have been
chosen as the first casualties of
The Wabash Commentary’s
new crusade, whose aims are
theoretically
admirable.
Rather, I seek to clear up some
of the falsehoods present in the
brief article titled “Violation of
the Gentleman’s Rule” and
offer a few comments on how
we might better achieve the
goal of living up to the Gentleman’s Rule.
First, I am not proud of
crude joking, but if we are honest, I think most of us find it
something we do frequently.
The instances of such coarse
jests in the IMA minutes from
February 20th are merely a
manifestation of this, and they
were not offensive but humorous to those at which they were
directed.
Even so, these things do not
belong in a set of minutes. It
was an informal practice of
IMA secretaries to include allusions to inside jokes within the
minutes, but this particular edition went further than most.
The group and the author recognized this, and while President White DID NOT have a
chance to read the minutes as
the Commentary article states,
Secretary Coates seemed bent
on resigning for his mistake.
The IMA as a whole convinced him to do otherwise, for
we realized our own guilt in
perpetuating the joking. Alex
made and submitted a more
professional copy of the minutes minus the jokes. We had
understood our own breach of
conduct and corrected it
amongst ourselves. This would
seem a fulfillment, not a violation, of the Gentleman’s Rule.
When the Commentary
came out with an exposé of our
ungentlemanly behavior, we
were all a bit surprised. Since
“When the Commentary came out with
an exposé of our ungentlemanly
behavior, we were all a bit surprised.
Since when did the student body agree
to make the Commentary our moral
arbiter? I do not think peer accountability amounts to impersonal articles
published under the authorship of “The
Wabash Commentary Staff.” At this
point, the Commentary becomes an
independent tribunal on an arbitrary
witch-hunt.”
when did the student body
agree to make the Commentary
our moral arbiter? I do not
think peer accountability
amounts to impersonal articles
published under the authorship
of “The Wabash Commentary
Staff.” At this point, the Commentary becomes an independent tribunal on an arbitrary
witch-hunt.
The Gentleman’s Rule is
about PERSONAL responsibility, which, in fact, is the sentiment of the Commentary article placed beside the IMA minutes titled, “Our Greatest
Threat.” We must first look
within ourselves and ask if our
actions are in accordance with
the code of a gentleman. Mr.
Coates did this. He was overcome with guilt, and sought
resignation, a penance the
group thought too severe.
Should someone not recognize their mistake, it is that person’s friends who must take
him aside and rebuke him first.
In the case of a campus club,
this might best be carried out
within the organization’s membership. It is by no means in
the purview of the Commentary to pass judgment on people with whom it has no connection unless the issue has
already entered the public
sphere.
What was a problem that we
resolved privately the Commentary made into a public dishonor. Besides being unnecessary, it singled out one person
on whose shoulders the blame
should not be wholly placed.
Perhaps the Commentary did
realize this, but decided to print
such an article nevertheless, in
order to spark thought among
the members of the student
body as to their own ungentlemanly actions.
So be it, but the means do
not justify this noble end. The
chosen whipping boy hardly
deserved the righteous fury of
the Commentary. Alex Coates’
crime is petty amongst
Wabash’s slew of iniquities; I
have committed worse things
than this, and with confidence I
can say the Commentary staff
has done so as well. Yet there
are no tabloidesque articles critiquing what is done behind the
Commentary’s closed doors.
We are human, and as such
are often ungentlemanly. What
is truly a shame is that Alex
must be crucified for the smallest offense when he, more than
most, punishes himself for his
sins. He does not need “The
Wabash Commentary Staff” to
flagellate him as well.

Little Giants Have
Strong Showing
Against Division II
Ashley Stephen
News Editor
For sophomore Geoff Lambert it was a different event, but
the result was the same. Instead
of winning the 800-meter run,
Lambert moved down to the
400-meter dash, which he won
in a time of 50.28.
Lambert’s victory in the 400
and a win by the 4x400-meter
relay team, which consisted of
Lambert and fellow sophomores
Bart Banach, Tim Rickard, and
Mike Russell, were the only
first-place finishes for the Little
Giants in the Gene and Rose
Edmunds Invitational at St.
Joseph’s College.
“It’s always an interesting
meet for us, going up against
some Division II teams we
won’t see the rest of the season,”
Coach Rob Johnson said. “We
get beat up a little bit and hopefully we bounce back.”
Even with only two firstplace finishes, Wabash, the only
non-scholarship program at the
meet, still managed third-place
as a team, scoring 56 points.
Saginaw Valley, a Division II
program, won the meet with 230
points and St. Joseph’s, another
Division II school, finished second with 146 points. Indianapolis (52) and Ferris State (48),
both Division II, and Marian
(38), an NAIA school, rounded
out the field.
In the 100-meter dash, Bart
Banach and Mike Russell tied
for fourth place, while freshman
Ja’Michael Hill crossed the finish line in ninth. Then, in the
200-meter dash, Banach took
fifth place, while sophomore
Richard Roomes followed in
sixth.
In the 400-meter run, freshman Kip Griffin finished ninth.
While in the 800-meter run,
sophomore Ben Bly took eighth,
and freshman Geoff Darmstaedter finished eleventh.
In the 1500-meter run, freshman Hugh Jackson led the
Wabash contingent with a sixthplace finish. Freshman Sam
Compton-Craig, Ben Bly, and
junior Dennis Frazee finished
eighth through tenth, respectively. Senior Peter Fenimore managed to cross the finish line in
twelfth place.
In the 5000-meter run, Dennis Frazee finished fourth, with
Sam Compton-Craig seven seconds behind in seventh place.
Junior Dustin Beck and senior
Ethan Paul finished 9th and
10th, respectively.
In the 110-meter high hurdles, freshman Arthur Banks
crossed the finish line in 6th
place. Then in the 400-meter
intermediate hurdles, sophomore Tim Rickard finished third,
with Banks taking fourth.
“Tim ran well for only his
third time running [the 400 hurdles],” Johnson said. “On a cool
day he managed to run a PR.”
The 4x100-meter relay,
which consisted of sophomore
Thomas Bell, freshman Andrew
Rode, Richard Roomes, and
Ja’Michael Hill, finished third.
The Little Giants did not perform nearly as well in the field
events. No Wabash athletes
scored in the long jump, triple
jump, high jump, or pole vault.
In the shot put, junior Ben
Tritle finished fifth, and senior
Pete Wagner took ninth. Then, in
the discus, freshman Pat Long
took sixth place, while sophomore Justin Sparks finished
ninth.
In the javelin, sophomores
Lincoln Smith and Keegan
McLaughlin finished ninth and
tenth, respectively. In the hammer throw, senior Jon Reidy was
eighth.
“For another cool-weather
meet, I think our guys performed
well,” Johnson said.
The Wabash track and field
team competes this Friday and
Saturday at the Indiana Intercollegiate Championships. The Little State meet will be held at the
Carroll Track and Soccer Stadium on the campus of IUPUI.
The meet starts Friday at 4pm
and then continues Saturday,
starting at 12pm.
