We look forward to waking up starry-eyed on Thursday mornings, to becoming confused when we receive emails from both The Paris End and The Paris Review forevermore. We’ll always have The Paris End — or, at least, until the death of cultural criticism falls upon us all.

Since its inception four weeks ago, the encampment has demanded that University management “meet with us and answer our demands”, but not “behind closed doors” or through “secret negotiations.” Last Friday, protestors’ attempts to stage a ‘town hall meeting’ was ignored by University management and transformed into a public forum by guest speakers. At the time of writing, a petition launched by the encampment to hold a Student General Meeting with management is also 150 signatures away from meeting the 2,000 signature threshold.
