Next semester, students will find it a little more difficult to slurp smoothies or get caffeinated in the wee hours of the morning. DeCafe will close at 8 p.m. on weekdays and 6 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights under a new plan proposed by CDS director Michele Gross. Officials say the move will save jobs amid campus-wide budget cuts.

Geographies of Displacement Symposium Brings Tibetan Poet to Campus

"It is not the accuracy of the story which concerns us; it's who gets to tell it," read Tibetan poet Tsering Wangmo Dhompa from her book, Rules of the House. This was a recurrent theme throughout the entire Geographies of Displacement Symposium sponsored by Oberlin Shansi, the Creative Writing Department and other groups. The reading, comprised of selections from Dhompa's three books -- two poetry and one non-fiction -- explored the power of subjective narratives as tools of expression and subversion, as well as the importance of owning these narratives.
