  1. 2WSVoice Page 8 2 WASHINGTON SQUARE VILLAGE VOICE November 2003 Hey 2WSV! Another month has past, which means the semester is nearly over. I don’t know about you, but that makes me pretty happy (and a little scared)! Things probably aren’t quite as hectic as they were a month ago, but with finals and term papers looming large, we haven’t made it through the storm yet. Anyway, you’ve made it this far and you should be really proud of yourself. In this month’s newsletter you’ll find some info on up coming events and important news, but mostly, you’ll get to meet a few more of your neighbors. I didn’t have enough room to spotlight all the people I interviewed, so look for spotlights of Alyssa Rademan and Silvano Zhang in the December newsletter. That being said, let’s find out who I had on my couch this month (in a totally non-dirty way)… Take care! Yuri

  2. 2WSVoice Page 3 • Marco Muller • At NYU by way of Bonn, Germany, Marco is a visiting scholar from Rheinische Frie Drich-Wilhelms Universitat Bonn. (Did I spell it right Marco?) He’s here working on his MA is Journalism. However, in Germany, Marco is pursuing Media Studies, with a minor in Psychology and American Language & Literature. (Does anyone else find it interesting that one can study “American Language?”) • He may sound like a regular Joe, but Marco is in fact a TOTAL GENIUS! This is evidenced by his being the one student in his university selected to participate in a fully funded exchange program with NYU. (If Marco were a Trojan, I’d say “Fight On!’) • Since coming to the states, Marco has done quite a bit of traveling. He’s been to San Diego (but left before the fires started), Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Vying for the distinction of his favorite place in the US are the Getty (totally awesome if you haven’t been there, defiantly check it out) and the Stratosphere in Vegas. • Marco has quite a few opinions on • the US and NYC in general, • especially when if comes to • what’s unusual. Some of the • things he finds • questionable are: • Cold drinks! Apparently • Marco doesn’t like how • much ice is put into Coke at • restaurants. • Revolving doors! (NYC is a little • crazy here.) • When it’s hot outside, the AC is turned • up so high you have to wear a sweater. (That is dumb!) • One other tid-bit about Marco- he’s a pathological • liar (just kidding). But, he does have the tendency to • bend the truth. If you want to find out what I mean, ask him to tell you about his “journalistic” trip to Vienna. 2WSVoice Page 3

  3. 2WSVoice Page 5 • Home town: Ypsilanti, • Michigan (a very “country” • suburb of Detroit [Rock City]) • Educational history: Tiffany is a graduate of the BEST • University in the world- the University of Southern • California! Fight On Tiffany (and Fight On Trojans!)! • Why NYU: International Education in Steinhardt • Future Goals: International consulting and diversity • training with corporations to work on “appreciating • and being able to work with their own diversity. (What a • noble goal!) • NYU Involvement: WAC, Graduate Students of Color, • Speaking Freely • What’s that shirt about: Tiffany provided two answers: • “I’m different anyway.” • She likes to go to • Renaissance Fairs, which • is where she bought it. • Something you might not • guess about Tiff by looking at • her: She’s been to a Xena and • Hercules convention. (I might • have kept that one to myself.) • One thing Tiff thinks all 2WSV • residents should do: Hop on • the subway with no destination • in mind. Just ride until you • “feel” like getting off and then • find your way home. But, do • this with a friend. Also, eat at • NeGril Village on W3rd and LaGuardia. 2WSVoice Page 4 Program Opportunity The Washington Advisory Council (WAC) and your RA (Me), are co-sponsoring a program to go see a Broadway show. When: November 12th, evening What: Wicked Cost: $5 (plus your own subway fare) How: Email your contact info to wsv14wp@yahoo.com ASAP (space is limited to the first 35 people)…then, give me your $5. Be on the look out for flyers with more info. Tiffany Purnell

  4. 2WSVoice Page 2 2WSVoice Page 6 Important Info: James “Jim” Padilla If you’re not coming back to NYU in the Spring, for whatever reason, now is the time to left the University know. Go to Central Housing at 8 Washington Place for more info and the forms you’ll need. But remember, there are restrictions on who can be released from their housing contracts. I hope she doesn’t say anything that will embarrass me. Spring Registration is almost upon us. It starts Nov 17th. You can pick up a Schedule of Classes at the Information Center. Don’t forget, most Grad programs require advisement, so make an appointment with your advisor soon! I’m really going to stick it to this guy! (j/k) Jim is a totally cool guy, especially given that I left him waiting on my “couch” (not literally, as I don’t have a couch because we in 2WV are not authorized to bring in furniture) for 15 minutes. Anyway, here’s a little info to help you get to know Jim… Anybody staying in residence over Thanksgiving and Winter Break should let me know. Look for more info on how to do this in the coming weeks. Hometown: Santa Clarita, CA (currently not on fire!) Ed history: BA in History from Loyola Marymount University in beautiful Marina Del Rey, CA (LA for those of you who think of LA county as the city of LA.) Before starting at NYU, Jim took a year off to work as a planning technician for the City of Santa Clarita. ( He tried to explain what this meant to me, but I’m dense. So, if you want to know what a planning technician is/does, ask Jim!)

  5. 2WSVoice Page 7 2WSVoice Page 8 Jim continued- • Now that he’s here, Jim is working to get a Master’s in International Relations through the Politics department of GSAS. This educational pursuit was spurred by his doing a study abroad program in Italy during undergrad, where he got a “taste of diplomacy.” (I certainly hope he didn’t actually “taste” a diplomat, but he does kind of seem like a…never mind.) • A couple of interesting things Jim has done since moving to NYC are: • Going to the Rose Center for Earth and Space in the American Museum of Natural History. (a.k.a. the Planetarium) • Going to Madison Square Gardens for a Ranger’s game. • One thing he’d like to do in NYC is: • Walk across the Brooklyn Bridge in a non-disaster related situation.
