April Fools!!! Well ... not just yet
By Jay Cridlin
It is nearly April 1, which means it is time for the much-anticipated Old Gold and Black's April Fool's edition. I have been told by several sources that the April Fool's issue is the only issue of the OGB that some students read all year.

Students should stop the sideline squatting

Walking through the art gallery, where the AIDS Quilt will be displayed through March 31, you begin to feel the humanity of HIV/AIDS.

Presentation leaves unanswered questions
By Doug Hutton
Anticipating a preacher's rhetoric with resounding smacks of the podium, I was rather unnerved by Kozol's laid-back demeanor and storytelling style. Instead of the fiery minister, the audience was treated to the activist's version of Aesop.
