Tishman saw a surge in nocturnal activity during its 24-hour drawing collaboration. As time went on the wall became a reflection of the participants–colors and figures evolved and melded over the course of the event as space disappeared.

Let the Games Begin

“I’m sorry about the mess in my room,” says Sydney Latchaw while she opens the door. But it’s clear from her room how organized Latchaw is: her books are perfectly arranged, the kitchen is so clean you can see your reflection and the bed is perfectly made. Latchaw also is using her organizational skills to pull together ‘The Hunger Games’ for all the residents of the campus, an idea she’s had for two years. “I thought it was going to be this big,” she says, indicating her initial belief that organizing the event wouldn’t be too overwhelming, “but I think that as soon as I started to write everything down, it was like ‘oh this is all a hard work, we’re going to need all the RAs on board.'” The Hunger Games is a movie based on a novel written by Suzanne Collins. In the story, an apocalyptic event destroys civilization and a new nation called Panem, divided in 12 districts, is established in North America. Each year, two young representatives from every district are selected to participate in The Hunger Games, a televised fight to the death. “I know this last time the movie came out there was a huge group of students that got really jazzed about it,” Latchaw says, “So a friend and I were like ‘well, we could do Hunger Games on campus.’ And so we came up with this whole system of challenges and stuff like that to mentally test the participants.” Even though, according to Latchaw, the organization of the game is hard, she has almost everything planned out. To start, she will set out boxes in the dorms’ hallways, in which students can enter their names. “And then at the Vampire Ball, which is going to be another...
Meet the Feminist Collective

By Maria Costasnovo/Photos by Sandra Schonenstein Julia Griffin, the leader of the feminist collective, first decided to lead SFUAD’s Feminist Collective two years ago. The initiative hasn’t always been easy. Since the collective kicked off, Griffin and the members say they’ve struggled a bit with some negative connotations that seems to follow the word “feminism.” Now their goal is is to gain more recognition on campus and dispel any myths that their group is solely made up of women talking negatively about men. Indeed, the Feminist Collective had its first meeting of this semester in Alexis, and from the beginning of this meeting, that general idea was torn up. The meeting started with the presentation of every member of this group discussing their interest in the group. For example, Ana Stina Rimal said “I wanted to join to a feminist collective for the first time during my puberty, when I was not understood by people around me, and I was insulted by them just because I had sex.” Diana Padilla says she felt attracted by the feminist collective “when I saw that there were people my same age that had such retrograde ideas about life and women.” On the other hand, there’s Adam Wall, who’s interested in discussing homosexual and transgender rights. After each member of the collective presented him or herself, it was time to think what kind of events were necessary in the school. Griffin says the collective is very open to ideas for events for the fall semester. Certainly one point of the collective is to join together to discuss issues ranging from members’ own issues to international conflict. Griffin also has contemplating a zine to inform the campus about the collective’s meetings and projects. The collective plans to meet weekly; more information and updates are available on its Facebook page. Ultimately, Griffin says, she began the collective “as a safe place for anyone,”which means anyone who is interested can join. “This is a space for people to be who they really...
