The Spotter is back, and we are not talking polka dots

Well hello, Sphinges, it is a new year (sort of, a new semester and a New Year by the Jewish calendar) and the citer is back and stalking. The first bit of news is a big welcome to our newest members (welcome to the world of ancient monuments — we are glad to have to here with us):

Kwabena Asiedu
Nana Baffoe-Bonnie
Colleen Donovan
Brittany Middlebrooks
Nick Roosevelt
Ashley Thomas
Jessica Trief

The second biggest news has to do with the biggest thing on campus from Asia with a fantastic showing from the Sphinge crowd, this charity FUNd raiser was a success… Still in the works, the biggest man on campus. Sphinx participation will be meant with equal enthusiasm.

This success was followed up in a big way by the one and only SPEC to bring Whoopi to campus with a crowd that could not be kwelled, Ben Kwell-ered, would be a better explanation of connaissance business (connaissance, connaissance, connaissance) over the weekend as SPEC brought both Whoopi Goldberg and Ben Kweller to Campus with Ingrid Michaelson.
