Deadline to order is Friday, March 31. The animals are being designed and hand-sculpted by John Shaw , who is also adjunct art faculty. A few months ago, I entered a women's restroom on campus and collided with three students huddled on the other side, reading a flier posted on the inside of the door. They were commenting about how awful it was that there were gang members in the neighborhood, hiding under cars and slashing hapless women as they filled up at the corner gas station. I read the flier and recognized it as a chain letter someone sent me via electronic mail a few months earlier.
