Undercover Operations Around Lander


WCC students and residents of the surrounding community are chilled by reports of multiple groups of ghostly figures climbing, wandering, and moving all about Lander. Leaving no trace, and doing no apparent crimes, the presence of whatever this is, however, has become quite frightening to many. As an unnamed student captured on his phone last week, this, one of only two actual images of the figures gives few clues, but enough t0 further the terror of whomever these figures actually are. 

A highly enlarged image of the figures on top of a tower
Our source did not give the image's exact location, but said that from his hidden vantage point he observed three figures climbing up the tower seen in his image, chanting some unintelligible phrases, and then climbing back down and disappearing into the night. "I didn't follow them," he said, "because all along as I was watching them I had a terrible feeling that I was myself being watched. In the moment, I was fixed to my spot, fixated on their faces. I managed to get off two pictures while they were on top of the tower, but then, as they ran off I blanked out. I know they ran away, but I can't really remember or really know what happened at the same time." 

Our anonymous sources' report is the most detailed on these figures as of April 24th. While several dozen have reported seeing them off in the distance, no one else has gotten an image or seen anything but them climbing and moving far away. Lander Police are aware of these incidents, but having no crime to investigate, believe on the limited information they have that these figures are likely only "drunks or teenagers". "No harm has yet been done," said Lander Police Chief Bernie Branson in an April 15th statement, "and while these reports have frightened many, we can't take action without a crime. If you see them trespassing, report it, and we can take action, but for now,  we have little concern."

As this image captured after the chief's statement supposedly shows these trespassing, the situation may change, but the Lander Police have not yet responded on our submission of this evidence, which we delivered Monday to their office.

Theories are thus still wide open as to the identity of these figures, with many disbelieving the simple assessment of Chief Branson. "It's the Wyoming IRA I tell you," says Ryan Kilman, a WCC Sophomore. "They came into town with the Freshman Rockers this year and are up to something." But school officials put blame on NOLSeys involved in "nature rituals" even as the NOLSeys themselves blame "global-warming and President Trump" for causing "mental-derangement that forces people to run around from terror and anxiety." Yet another opinion comes WCC's Professor Washut, who claims "its just Dionysus, Apollo, and Athena". But the most popular opinion from an IIT survey of Freshman Rockers (48% believe this of those surveyed) is that secret agents plan to overtake Lander and install a version of Socrates' ideal city as in the Republic.

New Serious WCC Freshman Endeavor

Freshmen Anne and Emily, aiming to redeem opinions of the Class of 2022 from being solely satirical and unserious, have launched a serious project, a blog named the Barnabus Project About it: The Barnabas Project is a blog by and for the Wyoming Catholic College class of 2022. It’s a kind of combined lit-mag and indie coffee shop; it’s a site for philosophical musings on what we’re reading and thinking about, photography from our vacations, poetry and short stories, or basically anything. A little background: at the end of COR, we had a program at campfire called The Barnabas Project in which we, in a way, prepared to face the challenges of being a student. As we face the challenges of summer, this blog will be a small oasis of WCC culture against the tumultuous ocean of the wider world. Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter. — Izaak Walton   View it here: https://wyclassof2022.home.blog/ To contribute (if you're a Freshmore ), find Anne's email ...

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...
