Vassar, with its 160+ year-old Main Building, is no stranger to ghost stories and tall tales. Stories of ghosts haunting all of Vassar’s buildings are as old as the College itself.

Recent thrillers, inspired by the enormous success of films like
The Sixth Sense, have conditioned viewers to watch for the big twist ending that brings all the threads of the plot together. When such an ending fails to adequately explain what has just happened in the story, and in fact only adds to the confusion, as does the finish of
Stay, it can effectively ruin what might have otherwise been a passable movie-going experience.

As work-related tension abounds this semester, many students are taking advantage of a unique way to relieve stress—watching children’s films. While Together Opposing Neglect and Child Abuse (T.O.N.C.A.) shows these films for free with the intent of entertaining Vassar students, they also aim to spread awareness that child-abuse exists in our surrounding community.

Duke versus UNC, Harvard versus Yale, University of Michigan versus Ohio State, Vassar versus...? Who exactly is Vassar’s major rival? Many outstanding rivalries for other schools come to mind, but when it comes to us, the Brewers, it’s a mystery.
When prompted, many student-athletes struggled to name their respective team’s rivals when asked. Some took a few minutes to think about it, others simply replied ‘I don’t know.’ But the rivals are out there. They’re on the field and they’re in our locker rooms.
