It's been a rumblin’-tumblin’, rough and wild, but altogether HEROICALLY SA-WEET first week on the job down here at HEROES & VILLAINS. We’ve been on a HEROICALLY wild ride getting things in order and figuring out what the heck we’re supposed to do now that we’re in charge on the 127th. Scary, scary thoughts. Despite the ensuing misery, chaos and debauchery that is a — HEROIC? Naw, more like VILLAINOUS — Sun editorship, we’ve got the HEROIC Spring Break on the horizon and things couldn't look brighter.

The Asian/Asian-American community has been, for the most part, jumping for joy at the HEROIC pledge of a space for the soon-to-come A3C. That is until a guest column ran in this daily-rag ranting about the dubious nature of the whole endeavor. Despite the contrasting view-points, we’re just glad that people are voicing their concerns. Hurray for dialogue! Oh, wait, dialogue and discussion were soooo last week.

Speaking of things of the past, the VILLAINOUS drug den on Linden Ave. breathes no longer! The HEROIC SWAT team — wait, what? Ithaca has a SWAT team?! — invaded the VILLAINOUS den earlier this week. Good jobs, cops! Wow. We never thought we’d say that ... Still, we totally empathized with those poor townies living across the street who were HEROICALLY ripping their bong to the HEROIC tunes of Hendrix when the SWAT attack happened across the street. Talk about VILLAINOUS paranoia. Sheesh!

In other HEROIC announcements this week, President Skorton revealed a HEROIC retirement plan for University faculty. Now, in light of the VILLAINOUS economic crash, while living in fear of VILLAINOUS lay-offs, faculty can take refuge in a HEROIC alternative. Can students opt into the plan? Us at H&V would seriously like to retire from school. Fo’ sho’.

Despite the HEROIC retirement plan, we here at H&V are crying some HEROICALLY humongous tears at the VILLAINOUS news of Vice Provost Moody-Adams’ imminent departure. Kudos, Moody for moving on to bigger, brighter things! I guess it’s just another excuse to wallow in our misery after signing up to work on this life-sucking beast that is The Sun.

Speaking of life-sucking beasts ... the Trustees arrived this week — we kid, we kid. But, seriously, the HEROIC Trustees did come to town for a jam-packed few days to discuss, what else but, budgets, endowments, finances, money, money, money and more VILLAINOUS money. When will we finally see an end to this madness?!

We’re predicting there’s no end in sight. Who will be the HERO to save us from the misery? Who will be the HERO to pick us up and sing us a happy tune? Who will be the HERO to ... Who are we kidding? Let’s just get through the week and make it to Spring Break! Amsterdam, here we come!
