Our generation stands at a crossroads. With sincerity and humor, we strive to make you reexamine, investigate, question, learn, and maybe pee your pants along the way. We are the reason people can’t wait for Tuesday. We are the water tower.

Sometimes reading the water tower makes our readers want to get naked and fight the power. But most of the time, they just send emails. Send your thoughts on anything in this

week’s issue [email protected]

Dear readers,

Nobody wrote anything this week and we had a bunch of extra drawings lying around, so we said, “Well I guess we’re doing this.”

As I’m sure you’ve noticed, there is a conspicuous lack of words and abundance of drawings in this week’s issue of the water tower. We have the great fortune of possessing an incredible art staff, without whose work the paper would simply not be what it is. The normal order of business is that we don’t straighten out exactly what is going in each issue until sometime between Thursday night and Saturday morning. That gives the artists about a day to fully illustrate the issue, something they consistently do with great success. In light of their commitment and remarkable skill, we have decided to do an issue dedicated to their art. Rather than the usual 22 hours, they had as much time as they needed to exhibit the range of their talents. As expected, we were absolutely blown away by what they’ve given us, and we think you will be too.

So enjoy, and we’ll be back with regular programming for our final issue next week.

Live Long and Prosper, James Aglio and Liz Cantrell Co-Editors-in-Chief

ART SPORT: Through May 19th, Andy Warhol’s “Athlete Series” is on exhibit at the Fleming, on campus. If you’re into popart or silk-screen, you should take a look, regardless of what your opinion is on Warhol.

Art in the Third Dimension: The three dimensional art classes will be exhibiting student’s work in a special Davis-center-gallery release on 4/30/13 from 6-7:30pm. Support your peers and look for any new diamonds in the rough, or just put on a blazer and try to feel supe-rior while you “hmmm” and “mmmmyes” your way across the gallery.

Onion River: Not just for your too-expensive grocery stops anymore. Tucked away next to the café seating area, the member art wall showcases some really nice work that might otherwise sip underneath your radar. Best of all, Onion City has better hours than any gal-lery (7am-11pm), so if you find yourself in the neighborhood, you should swing by.

Hidden Gems: Exploring environmental themes-this is Vermont after all-is the new theme at New City Galerie. Tucked away above Ake’s Place and open only Thursdays and Fridays from 4 to 7, this gallery exhibit is tricky to get to, but the quality of the work and the strong ties with artists and teachers in the area makes a trip worth it.

Coffee and a Show: Uncommon Grounds is hardly unexplored territory (and if it is for you, you should find your Pocahontas and struggle your way to Church street to partake), but their painting showcase is consistently creative and perfectly pleasant when shared with a steaming receptacle of caffeine. This month, the surprisingly awesome combination of psychedelic themes and hexagons (it’s cooler than it sounds).
