Never so glad to see someone die
I enjoy theater, but The Death of a Salesman was a new experience for me. Since the subject matter of this show is so dark, and it deals with such difficult situations, I was expecting to come out of there with a feeling of hopelessness and despair. But I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the experience of watching the show.

Backlog: Vandalism or Expression
Republished from the Backlog 1989, pg. 28-29. Everyone has seen the many looks of the Bison this year. It has worn everything from zebra stripes to Bush/Quayle stickers. Some students label the spray-painting of the Bison as art. According to Junior Jason Shelton, it is a way of expressing inner feelings.

This certainly becomes true when the “art” is an expression of a rival school. Yet other students take a more serious opinion. Sophomore Todd Burleson feels “the person(s) responsible for this must not have…
