Jon Hanson
Riverwest is home to old-timers, students and, of course, the artsy riffraff: hipsters, bohemians and musicians. At first glance, Jon Hanson could be pegged as any of those. He sets a meeting at Fuel. He is skinny and wears a band shirt. His hair is artfully disheveled when he pulls off his hat. He carries a Fleshies coffee mug. He is in five bands whose names he carefully writes down. Then, he lists his other hobbies: bicycling, kickball and cooking.

Black, Pink, White, Brown, Male, Female, we need them all. Humans dedicated to fighting for respect for their fellow citizens and against oppression. Warriors willing to speak out for justice.

It’s Not Cool to Steal the Artwork
Breena Wiederhoeft did not consider it a compliment when her painting, “2selves,” disappeared from Mitchell Hall at UWM over the weekend of February 5-6. Please, if anyone sees this painting, get in touch with Breena at bdw@uwm.edu. Or tell the person who took it to please return it to Mitchell 325, no questions asked.
