This Friday, November 23, there will be no new edition of The Oak Leaves as a result of Manchester College's Thanksgiving break.
Nevertheless, there is an even larger occurrence scheduled for November 23. I would like to encourage all of you to participate in the 15th annual Buy Nothing Day, which takes place each year on the day after Thanksgiving ("Black Friday"). This is a great opportunity to question the role of consumption and consumerism in your life.
Buy Nothing Day was started by the good people at Adbusters, which I unreservedly assert is one of the most innovative, intelligent, and politically pertinent magazines currently being published.
