Students express dismay over eight-foot tall Vassar champion

Trasgore Xanthas, an eight-foot tall magic-wielding warrior from the far off kingdom of Oetamushĩ has been raising eyebrows ever since his first blood-hunt across Vassar’s campus. In recent weeks, he has left quite the impact, subduing local hell beasts and closing a portal to the dark dimension that had recently opened near Central Receiving. Xanthas, a “Keeper of the Eternal Sky Flame,” was outsourced by the Campus Response Center (CRC) as a way to manage both external and internal threats, such as bicycle thefts, assaults and demon hordes. However, as more and more threats from the dark dimension emerge, a large group of Vassar students have begun to ask the question: “Is Trasgore Xanthas more trouble than he is worth?”

PETER MOST: All hang together

It was inevitable, but it took 12 years, three votes, and a near tripling of the cost before voters agreed to replace the failing Monument Mountain Regional High School. No less inevitable is the merger of the Berkshire Hills and Southern Berkshire regional school districts. The question is how many votes and how many years it will take for voters to accept it. So far, the count is one vote and three years. Twelve years and three votes is the record for futility. Here’s hoping Sheffield does not take a run at it.
