Field hockey nets two victories, 4-0 against NCAC

Oberlin field hockey currently has an undefeated 4-0 record in the NCAC, following games last week against Earlham College on Saturday and Denison University on Tuesday. Although each resulted in a victory, the Yeowomen accomplished the wins differently.

Women’s soccer travels to capital

The Oberlin women’s soccer team left Oberlin Thursday afternoon for a double-header weekend in Washington, D.C. They returned with a win and a loss under their belt and, as first-year Meghan Jones put it, “the D.C. trip served as a bonding experience for the team both on and off the field.”

OC theater forced to review budget

This year, student theater organizations reached their lowest point in a long time Ņin funding, that is. For their budget allocations this year, as decided by the Student Finance Committee after the most recent budget appeals, the Oberlin Student Theater Association received $3,054, the Oberlin Musical Theater Association received $2,367 and the Gilbert and Sullivan Players received the almost laughable sum of $292.56.

Orchestra opens new season

Last Friday night in Finney Chapel, the Oberlin Orchestra opened their season with three 20th century works: John Adams’ Short Ride in a Fast Machine, Stephen Jaffe’s Concerto for Violin and Orchestra, and Bela Bartok’s Suite from the Miraculous Mandarin. Under the direction of Timothy Weiss, the orchestra gave an exciting interpretation to this unique program.
