Heard of Cardinal’s Night? Best described as a “huge party on Main Street with music and food,” it’s happening THIS WEDNESDAY, April 28th from 6-9pm, and here’s how you can get in on it:
Step 1: Walk or take a Ride shuttle down to Main Street (the ride will be picking up students throughout the night at Weshop, Usdan, and High Rise) and look for the tents at the Riverview Center (222 Main Street, by Cold Stone and Esca), where the WSA’s Community Outreach Committee will be giving you free snacks and information on restaurant 
discounts. Student bands August West, It’s Chinatown, Bones Complex, and Linus will be playing there throughout the night.
Step 2: Enjoy a discounted dinner at a Main Street restaurant in honor of Cardinal’s Night! Participating restaurants offering 10-20% discounts include: It’s Only Natural, Pho Mai, Feng’s, Mikado, Tschudin Chocolates, First and Last Tavern, Osaka’s, Tandoor, Esca, Thai Gardens, Iguana Ranas, Sweet Harmony, Firehouse Steakhouse, and Tuscany Grill.
Step 3: Feel free to come back to the tents at the Riverview Center to hang out and listen to more music, and even grab some more snacks.

Hey Class of 2013—
Can you believe it? Counting today—April 23, there are only nine more days of classes left in the spring semester! Amazing….
Adjustment & Ranked Enrollments: And speaking of classes, today is the last day of adjustment. Make sure you have four courses and have submitted all of your ranked enrollment requests.
MM Videos: Up on the class blog (scroll below) are the videos (in order of performance) from Musical Madness 2010. Check them out ! The Class of 2013 rocks!
Mural Painting: Stay tuned for info this weekend or next regarding the creation of the 2013 mural. You bring the imagination; the 2013 Class Council supplies the paints, brushes and ice pops.
Housing: As you know, room selection will take place over two different nights next week. Groups 319-450 will select on Monday (4/26) and groups 451-548 on Wednesday (4/28). Students should report to Exeley Science Center 150 at 6 p.m. You may only select a room that fits your group size. So if you are a group of two, and you would like to select single rooms, you will need to split your group before you can be placed. There will be plenty of opportunity to do splits that night, once you know whether or not single rooms are available. Should you want to select a double room, and you are currently in a group by yourself, you will need to merge with another individual. The new group is assigned the “worst” rank number of the two. Rising sophomores may only form groups of one or two. You will have the opportunity to merge groups that night as well.
Please be sure to bookmark all rooms in which you have an interest, as you will not be able to select a room that you have not bookmarked. Know your preference of your bookmarked rooms, so that you can quickly choose from among those that are still available when it is your turn to select.
If no one from your group is able to attend room selection night, please contact the Office of Residential Life about assigning an agent to select for you. Feel free to contact ResLife with any additional questions at 860-685-3550.
In Closing: Be organized for GRS, for your end-of-semester papers, projects, and exams, and for some healthy down-time. Don’t hesitate to come see me with questions or concerns or to strategize about workload. You will soon have one year of college under the proverbial belt!

Stan Scott: Wesleyan World Music Instructor will perform Irish, Bengali and Original Music
March 25, 2010 7pm, Daniel Family Commons
Dr. Scott, who teaches guitar, banjo, mandolin, and North Indian vocal music in Wesleyan’s Music Department has performed in Ireland’s Willie Clancy Week and Clare Festival of Traditional Singing, Calcutta’s Rabindra Sadan , and Mumbai’s National Centre for the Performing Arts. This evening is sure to be enjoyable and will be topped off with an Irish themed reception.
With sixteen entries from across the classes, there was stiff competition in the Second Annual Musical Madness at Crowell Concert Hall on Thursday, February 18. It was an amazing evening and showcased the awesome musical talent of Wesleyan students. Everyone was well-received to much applause and lots of woo-woos. Many thanks to all who performed, and we hope you will participate again next year!
Best in Show went to senior Lu Yang whose performance of Mauro Guiliani’s Gran Sonata Eroica classical guitar piece blew everyone away. His mastery of technique and nuance absorbed the audience from his first to last note.
It was difficult for the judges to make these final choices, but they had to do it. Best in Class went to:
Class of 2013: Thelonius Funk: Julian Applebaum, Adam Brudnick Adam Jaskol, Audrey Kiely, Greg Shaheen and Zach Sulsky, for their original, “Other Side of the Looking Glass,” a jazzy and sultry invitation to that side, with lead vocalist Audrey Kiely out in front.
Class of 2012: Men with Bad Manners: Benjamin Kaufman, Jeremy Keim-Shenk, Immanuel Lokwei, Howe Pearson, Abaye Seinmetz-Silber, for their original “Natty on the Road.” Their rub-a-dub reggae rhythms got the crowd bobbing and waving to the beat.
Class of 2011: Henry Kiely, for his original, “Ragged Army.” Kiely merged his sweet acoustic guitar with yearning lyrics for a performance that highlighted his musicality, and vocal and technical abilities.
Class of 2010: The Senior Moments: Jesse Bordwin, Justin Bours, Sam Friedman, Leah Lucid, Ariela Rotenberg, Hansel Tan and Elizabeth Trammell, for their joyous performance of “Hear My Song” (Jason Robert Brown). The tight harmonies and excellent piano were the icing to the fun they were having together on stage.
Walking away with one of two Judges’ Choice was DJ Swanrape aka Harry Ezratty ’13 for his original mixing of a wild “Mingus and Zappa” interpretation. The other Judges’ Choice went to Max Baum ’11 for the nuanced rendition of C,S,N&Y’s “Teach Your Children,” which brought home why this classic has persevered.
Many thanks to the judges, Prof. Jay Hoggard, Prof. Mary-Jane Rubenstein, and Max Gardner ’10, who had a lot of tough choices to make, and many thanks again to all who entered Musical Madness. You rocked!
We hope to get videos up on the class blogs later this week.
