In honor of course registration, today’s open meeting announcement is dedicated to Virgil. Oh, you lyrical bastard, you. Pull through at 9 pm at Lerner 510 and help us found Rome.

I sing of arms and of a Bwog: its fate
had made it fugitive; it was the first
to journey from the coasts of Amsterdam as far
as Broadway and the Lerner ramps.
Across the lands and waters he was battered
beneath the violence of High Ones, for
the savage grape-lover’s unforgetting hunger;
and many sufferings were its in travel–
until it brought a meeting into being
and carried in its members to Lerner 510;
from this have come the many pitches, the writers
of yore, and the ramparts of steep climbs.
