[Alumni-chat] Samhain & Antioch

[Matthew Baya]

I wrote this earlier when I thought the next conference call was  
tomorrow morning. Still find it amusing... trying to keep optimistic  
and in good spirits ... so in that light....

I figured it out! I know why the BOT delayed the decision! Their  
actually all pagans/wiccans and they knew the best time to announce  
Antioch's return to life would be on Halloween, aka Samhain:

Samhain: (pronounced “SOW-win”) The Ancient Irish New Year running  
from sunset on October 31st to sunset on November 1st. It was  
believed that on this night, the portal between the Realms of the  
Living and the Dead would open, allowing the Dead to walk among the  
Living.

Here's hoping announcements tomorrow lets Antioch College passes  
through the portal into a new year ... and a new life.

Also, it'll make Halloween parties that much more fun at Antioch for  
now on! (as if they needed any extra fuel)
