almaHey all you former Deaniacs–Howard‘s coming to campus! The College Dems have landed a speaking engagement with the presidential-candidate-turned- party boss for “January or February.” Speakers coordinator Nate Morgante, CC ’09, wasn’t sure exactly when Dean would be rolling in, but a go-ahead from the DNC made him confident enough to spill the beans anyway. 

Meanwhile, the Dems’ birth control plaza campout (conveniently timed this week’s Eye cover story) went off smoothly, but for one small hitch: the baby lovingly cradled in Alma’s outstretched hand was ripped from her grasp by security sometime midway through the event, restoring the pristine backdrop for Japanese tourist snapshots. Plus, everyone knows that Alma doesn’t go in for that sort of thing.
