Fall Career Fair
Welcome from Frankly Speaking News
Welcome back, from Frankly Speaking—Olin’s unofficial, unaffiliated, student-run newspaper!
Olin is a school of rebirth. Clubs, events, and traditions all live and die with each new year. Clubs you’ve never heard of were big a few years ago and events you’d never think of will be held next year. The impermanence is freeing, but also requires that each year play an active part in Olin culture.
FWOP Fall: Dr. Horrible, One Acts
The Franklin W. Olin Players (FWOP)—Olin’s resident theater group—will put on two shows this fall.
One, a collection of one-act plays, will be staged during family weekend. The other, which will take place October 11–13, is Joss Whedon’s cult internet musical Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. An aspiring supervillain video-blogs about his attempted heists and (lack of a) love life. In the course of an attempted theft, he accidentally introduces his crush Penny to his nemesis (the entirely unsympathetic hero Captain Hammer). It’s the motivation he needs to ramp up his villainy, with disastrous consequences.

SCOPE: to Infinity and Beyond!
The SCOPE administration team has put out a call for applicants to a highly secretive new project for the 2012-2013 school year. Among those present for the announcement were Professor Stephen S. Holt and former Olin parent Dr. Daniel Barry.
Although the project’s sponsor has not been officially disclosed, inside sources indicate involvement in administering exploration of and experimentation in the atmosphere and beyond on a national level.
Announcing Extended BOW Shuttle Hours
Last semester, Thomas Dugger applied for a grant from the Mellon Foundation with a proposal to run a pilot of an extended shuttle service between Olin, Babson, and Wellesley Colleges.
With the money received from the foundation, extended shuttle services are being offered from Monday, January 30th until Sunday, February 19th. When riding during these extended times, please be sure to sign in—if there is enough demonstration of interest from students, the change may become permanent.
