Reincarnation

(As seen on my door)

Foreword

What is the wall of news? On Saturday February the 11th, of 2006 Vice president Dick Cheney wounded a hunting companion while perusing the elusive quail. There was much media coverage of the accident however; I found that very few people had actually heard of the incident. The next day I found it my civic duty to inform the people of the on-goings of the outside world. Thus on Sunday February 12th, the year 2006 the wall of news was founded on the wall beside my humble door at Western Oregon University. I missed my wall greatly over the summer. Many artcles worthy of the wall appeared on various news sites such as ‘Alternative Interogation Not Torture, Bush Says’ by CNN. My first week here in Bloss I have been disheartened by a lack of wall worthy articles. That was until on the night of September 29th I found an article on the New York Times entitled ‘In Many Public Schools, the Paddle Is No Relic’ which featured a large African American male clutching a paddle. The article enlightened me upon a practice I believed long banned with our homeland, walloping the backside and love handles of young fire-brands with a large wooden paddle, something I had lived my life believing remained doomed to a life of fraternity initiations and more interesting mating rituals. But I digress. The “Wall of News” has returned this time resting upon the door of room 312 Bloss Hall of Oregon State University. The purpose of this humble scrapboard of news articles is to inform you, the citizen, of the more obscure and interesting highlights of the worlds ongoings from reputable news oragnizations. If you have read this entire script I thank you, yet stand in amazement that anyone really has.
