Berry filled the room with hys terical laughter by doing impres sions of Tina Turner, Whoopi Goldberg, Leon Spinks, and people in the audience. Her real ism-based humor hit home and drove the audience wild, and the message in her humor was pow erful. “We must learn to under stand each other” was the focus of many of her jokes. The Homecoming Dance was held Friday night, Oct. 9, spon sored by the CAB and Nu Gamma Phi. This year’s theme was “A Night on the Town,” and the dance with a live band was held at the Gateway Convention Cen tre from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 10, was the day of Wesleyan’s Homecoming soc cer game against Washington College. This year’s Homecoming suc cess depended largely upon the participation of students. Student attendance and behavior at the well-planned activities were “in credible,” according to several faculty and staff. The Campus Activities Board was responsible for planning, overseeing, and funding Home coming. CAB President Matthew Synder said a “great, great deal” of preparation went into the week. Homecoming activities are chosen in a step-by-step process, he said. CAB accepts proposals from organizations for Home coming activities. Then CAB de cides which ideas will work best for Wesleyan.

The whole purpose of loss of visitation, Sanseviro explained, was not punishment to the whole dorm but a safety precaution. Residents felt the loss of visita tion could not have happened at a worse time, with homecoming right around the comer and many boyfriends and girlfriends com ing to visit. After the meeting was ad journed, Derrick and Sanseviro remained in the Resident Director’s office, hoping that in formation leading to the identity of the men responsible for the whole thing would be forthcom ing.

The two, not identified, are now waiting to go before the Ju dicial Review Board for sentenc ing. Sanseviro had no prediction as to their sentences, but he did say, “This whole episode has brought up the issue, can fresh men be trusted to Uve in a co-ed dorm? No matter what the Judi cial Board decides, the long-term ramifications of this deed are quite numerous.” Several ideas currently being considered to ensure that such an act doesn’t occur again include issuing keys to the bathrooms and restricting freshmen to unisex dorms.
