Vandewalker Makes the News!
The "E" is for Ian! Readers of the Bradenton Herald got a treat on Saturday, May 26. The Local & State section included a cute little fluff piece on those wacky New College kids and their wacky graduation ceremony. Guess who was the featured wacky graduate--our very own bachelor of smarts, Ian Vandewalker! That's right, New College let Vandewalker graduate and must sorely regret it now, since he has made a mockery of the 2001 commencement ceremony with--of all things--a Superman costume! The young geek took his love of comics to the proverbial house by combining a fondly-remembered childhood Halloween costume with New College's four winds logo and a lot of chutzpah to create a graduation tour de farce for all to enjoy. Click here for pictures scanned straight out of the paper. By the way, calling it a "fluff piece" is, admittedly, a little misleading, since it's really just two pictures and a list of graduates. But that's more than the Sarasota paper ran!

Vandewalker Moves to Bdorm
Well, they've finally broken him. Namby-pamby momma's boy Ian Vandewalker, the one who swore he'd never live in filth and/or poverty, has been forced to live in that hellhole of New College dorms, Bdorm. The horrific problems with the dorm include, but are not limited to: shared bathrooms, shared kitchens, and small rooms. When asked for comment, Vandewalker said only, "Watch my column, you'll see some comments there soon enough."
