tudents said they were mildly
interested this week when il was
announced that a new Apathy International chapter will be founded
at Lafayette. Elizabeth Harold '07,
the group's president, said, "Apathy
International is a strong, worldwide organization to unite people
and promote the universal ideal of
> indifference."
Harold said that "people these
days" wony too much about things
thill do not affect them. "I'm not
living in Darfur, I'm not going to
I be drafted, why should I waste my
time helping other people? I've got
enough to woriy about."
Jac(jb Hiirtby '08 said that he was
looking forward to participating in
the group. "I can't wail lo join. I
hear they're dt^ing some really great
campaigns, I just hope they don't
interfere with my video games," he
said.
Those campaigns, said Harold,
will focus on the concept of using apathy in everyday life. "We
can't really affect a wider audience
[about apathy], but we can al least
raise awareness about apathy," she
said. Harold explained that, "the
world seems to be running fine
without our input." She iidded that

Lafayette announces
scholarships for
turkey bowling
BY M A T Z A H B A L L

ccording to board of trustees meeling held lasl week,
I^afiiyette luis unanimously voted
to grant merit-bii,sed athleUc scholarships to all participants in turkey
bowling. Unbeknowiist to the majority of l^ifiiyelte students, turkey
bowling is a sport that is, just simply,
gobbling up the world.
VVTiy give scholarships for turkey
bowling one might ask? Senior lilly
Butierfield admits iliiit, "Until now;
I didn't wiint anyone to know; but
now the school made it acceptal)le
for me to express my passion for die
game I've played since the age of
five."
Like Butlerbiill, the boiud cUiims
that '^Fliiuiksgiving is a holidity duit
most p('oj)l<' celebrate so il is the
college's duly to show thiuiks and
appreciation f()r those individuals
who ciiU diem selves turkey Ijowlei-s.
It is even cited that lurkley Ixmling
will Ix! instated into lh«- nexi Winter
Olympics in 2010.
In an effort to strengthiMi the
Liifavette iithk'lics progriun, the
president along with the bt)iird,
feels diis is a great oppoitunity lor
those allileles who excel "in the
lanes," rather than "on the field."
With this decision, I^diiyette highly
iintici|)iites the signings of world
renowned lurke>' bowlers around
the globe for diLs upcoming fidl .semester-. "We expect to hiive a great
iiiiiugiuid.sciuson," .siiidSlu Hug'07,
who will tiike over as capuiin for die
tciirn nexl term.

" I h e role is an iiclor's dream,"
said diCiiprio. "Knolls was bugeyed, gawky, and iiwkward, and I
am none of these things." diCiiprio
iidded diiit, despite suiiace differences, he and Knolls share a number of
similiuities. "We're both iiclors, and
we're both named iilter Reniiissance
piiinlers. I look better in the sheriff's
hilt, though."
Although Steve Buscemi was
originally considered for the part,
ihe Fargo actor eventually declined,

"I'm usually inleresled in films

Richard prettymuch hiid it made

He went on to siiy tluit, following
the success of Brokehack Mountain,

"Fhis little gem of a sitcom iictuiUly
aired for ten years, but to barelv' iiny
iiudience. Despiu- a snuill poj)uliition
()f view ers, the show w iis iible lo stiiy
on FV due to its cult following and
critical iiccliiim. Featuring an ensemble ciist of uiiknow ns, it depicted six
friends living in Manhattan dciding
with everyday life in New York, like
how ciisy it is to piiy for an iiniiizing
iipiirtment on piiicliciiUy no siihirv
iind almost never going lo work.
Il is the Iciist c|uc)led show probiibly ever jDroduced, so I expect idler
rciiding this eveiyone will rent the
DX'Ds and act like Ross, Riichel,
Monicii, Cliiuidler,Joey, iind Phoebe
iire iictually your friends.
