Since when have all Muslims and Arabs become terrorists? Why has Arab become a dirty word? What’s this nonsense that all Muslims are Arabs and all Arabs are Muslims?

Stereotypes and misconceptions about people Arabs and Muslims abound in the United States, today. It is past time to begin to educate people and to raise awareness about this prejudice, this bigotry, particularly in light of recent campaigning and voter attitudes. The Middle Eastern Cultural Society is making a movie within the next few weeks to shed light on this issue.

For the last two semesters, Free Culture in collaboration with Olde Club has released free of charge a compilation CD of student performances at Olde Club.

Well, another compilation CD is coming, and will feature student performances from the Fall 2008 semester. The CD should be released shortly after the start of the Spring semester.

If you would like last semester’s CD (we have a few left), contact rkolodg1 or bmazer1.

If you would like the upcoming CD, please email bmazer1. We’ll try to print enough to match the number of requests.

Lastly, the cover art has been designed by students previously, and we’re now taking submissions for the upcoming CD’s cover. If you’ve got a design for the CD, email bmazer1. Naturally, the design should somehow be Olde Club-related.
