Liturgical Fashion Show Launches in Lander

In a move long awaited by culture starved Lander, several WCC students are launching Wyoming's very first liturgical fashion show.


"Vestment fashion has been pretty awful, too put it mildly, for the past few centuries" says Jacob Zepp founder of the organization Zepp's Biretta's which is the event's primary sponsor. "But this Saturday, we're going to begin bringing about a return to saintly style, starting right here in Lander."

Zepp's organization is contributing dozens of prototype albs, cassocks, surplices, dalmatics, chasubles, birettas, and more, but the true strength of his planned show, Jacob continues, is in the "multiplicity" of eras, rites, and faiths that will be represented. Not just his organization, but dozens of traditional and start-up liturgical design organizations have been invited, and nearly all are planning to attend the April 27th Bosoeke Hall gala.

But its not just amidst a pleasant variety of appearances, that Zepp hopes to bring about this real change in the vestment industry. "I'm all about appearance AND function" he says. Thus all entries must feature easily accessible pockets, cell-phone holders, built-in microphones or other similar modern features.

This requirement of utility has some school "Liturgy Freaks" on edge, like Freshman Bernadette Heithoff of Kansas, who questions why this "obviously Modernist" tending event is allowed to happen on Church property."

But, never fear, responds Lander's one and only Average Muslim Liturgist: "It is simply the unfolding of doctrine and practice, not a change that removes the significance of Liturgical vestments as signs. Actually, there is even deeper significance to a biodegradable bamboo fiber cincture (one of what is sure to be the top hits at the event) as we see from Romano Guardini's sequel to Sacred Signs, Sacred Trends.
The biodegradable cincture illustrates the impermanence of both man from dust to dust as is said, as well as the similarly changing nature of dogma and tradition. We should keep up with the trends of the faith just as one must keep up with the fraying of the cincture.
"Come as you are, come and see," Zepp says. "Through experiments in aluminum vestments, laser candles, headphone crosiers, and more, we'll show you the latest cool, hot, and trendy in more than just vestments, but make the church near you even "better than metal". Andrew Russell is a chief adviser to Zepp's new operation and will bring as their official press release states "a new realm of deity and culture to a world frozen in the past.

Ban the Joe: Get Joe to Come Here

The symbol of the cause Many WCC students are mourning the loss of Joe B. to University of Dallas. A promising member of the spring Founders draft, many were looking forward to him joining the Class of 2023. Banjo Guy as he is called, has reportedly committed to attending the University of Dallas near his Texas hometown, in a decision largely predicated upon the attendance there of many of his friends. But never fear, it's not too late! "It's not up to him whether he comes or not," was the simple conclusion from a high-level meeting of the new WCC Future Student Decision Council. Simply, that means that as everyone wants him here, he can't just decide to go elsewhere. Everyone wants him to come here, but how, one might ask, do we change this horrible decision? There are multiple ways to be sure, but to begin, we're collecting signatures as part of a national BAN-JO campaign. Ban does not mean ban in the typical sense of disallowing, but is h...

School Released Couple Chart With Errors

New details are emerging today about how April's Student Couple Chart had several "very obvious mistakes". Assembled as it always is by the WCC student life office, they, however, missed some "very obvious couples" this time in assembling their quarterly report. How could they have missed them?" questions Fr. Olar about a couple that had been together for 5 Days  by the time the chart was put together. "Surely all the new technology the school has paid for should have caught something as obvious as this couple when they were sitting together every day in Mass." "Its an abhorrence against the cosmic order," says Sophomore Sophia Donaldson about these very obvious mistakes. "Some friends and I went through and drew all the connections between the couples on the chart. And there lies the problem, we had to draw them. Shouldn't they have been obvious just from looking at it?"  Above is a redacted image of t...
