 		[UPDATE] Sentinel - September 26th

Weekend Brings Protest at Museum Over New Curator
By WILHELMINA BEST

The Academy Museum was beset this weekend by a crowd of protesters angry at the rumours circulating that the new curator, Anja Marlowe, may be planning a war-related exhibit. Nearly a hundred protesters, led by 80-year-old botanist Soo-Yung Rosenthal, rallied to encourage the museum to give up any such plans.

"What Ms. Marlowe is doing here, it isn't right," said Rosenthal. "Some things are better left in the past, forgotten. ... This terrible subject is best left respectfully alone." Rosenthal spoke to the assembled crowd mid-morning on Saturday, to enthusiastic cheers. Rosenthal organised the protest by simply announcing the plan in letters to various news organisations, including the Sentinel.

Even some onlookers were drawn into the protest. 28-year-old Franz Sepulveda was on his way home from his linguistics classes, he said, when he passed by the assembly and decided to join in. "If it's true the Museum is planning something like this, it's just in the worst taste imaginable," Sepulveda said. "Some things, we just shouldn't discuss them."

Some analysts have suggested that these protests are driven by fear of Marlowe's record rather than concrete evidence regarding her plans, but that no word out of the museum itself has lent any credence to the reports. Indeed, museum spokesman Gerard Owling said that the museum is in the process of examining possibilities for a new exhibit, but denied that warfare was being specifically targeted as the subject matter.

"The purpose of the museum is to enlighten and educate, not to infuriate," Owling said. "I admit that we may plan to address a controversial topic in the near future, but I would like to assure the public that whatever we choose as our subject matter, we will absolutely discuss it in the most graceful and delicate way possible. ... The museum is not about rampaging through uncomfortable subjects and upsetting the public."

Marlowe was hired as the Academy Museum's new curator mere weeks ago. Her personal history does include designing controversial subject matter. She has been unavailable for comment on the protest.

By Madame Bianca, for the week of September 26

The Three Balls (September 11 - October 10)
You're in need of some culture. Go see a show, take in a concert, visit a museum -- just pick something, and make it fast, because your same-old chatter at parties is growing tedious.

The Dice (October 11 - November 10)
Did you ever think you'd see the day when you were on the winning side of every draw? Yeah, me neither -- a tradition that carries on through this week, at least. Polish up that losing streak, muffin, it's all you've got to show.

The Maze (November 11 - December 10)
Sometimes you puzzle me with your moods and your seasons. Unfortunately, it seems like you puzzle yourself, too. Try taking up some solid introspection to figure our your own motivations. After all, you can't get what you want until you know what that is.

The Apple-Thief (December 11 - January 10)
The pauper who wants only what he can afford sleeps soundly. But he who would fly to new fortunes, although he hastens abroad speedy vessels, sees his trouble stand by.

The Hand (January 11 - February 10)
You: taciturn. Everyone else: not buying it. Don't expect sympathy if you don't let anyone else know what's going on, exactly, pumpkin.

The Baby (February 11 - March 10)
Aren't you too old to stuff yourself on harbonnes like that? I prescribe a daily hike round Polygon Park until you've managed to sweat them out again. And anyway, it's a nice change to spend some time outdoors before it gets too cold for that kind of thing.

The Eagle (March 11 - April 10)
You clearly did not listen to your mother well enough growing up. Don't you know better than to bite off more than you can chew? And no, I so am not talking about table manners. Though you need to work on that, too.

The Spider (April 11 - May 10)
You've spent a long time at the self-improvement game, but I give you permission to take a bit of a break. What's the fun if you can't be at least a little naughty some of the time?

The Wave (May 11 - June 10)
Passive much? There's a time and a place to act. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt for now, but remember, sooner or later you have to step in and grab the reins of your own life.

The Archer (June 11 - July 10)
You know that boss that keeps taking credit for the things you do? Well, there's some good news and some bad news. The good news: You won't have that problem much longer...

The Half-filled Jug (July 11 - August 10)
I was out at Fenlon's grabbing a cup of tea over the weekend, and realised that what you need is some structure to your life. The creative spirit free-thinking thing? It's nice and all, but it doesn't seem to be keeping you in clean underwear.

The Dragon (August 11 - September 10)
Isn't it funny how sometimes you can miss something that's staring you right in the face? I imagine you'll sort it out eventually, but if I were you, I might start to work on my powers of observation.

And remember, better late than never.



get thee back to a Toronto cinema Wink

 		Oh, boy, oh, boy. I've never read so much into horoscopes before. Laughing Looks like we're being scolded again, this time:

1. For missing something at the movies?

 		Maybe the ACP should be looking at Cahill, if he's suddenly become such a shining star . . . or ar they too busy celebrating Champaign's downfall?
