Arts

Let’s just say this: “Arts” rhymes with “farts.” And “Paul Blart.” These are not coincidences. There is something very smelly about the Arts section, and it is not funny at all. Led by Natalie Cheng, Nathalie Sun, and Hannah Lee, the Arts section editors look to reach the “Five Readers Per Week” milestone by sometime this spring. Despite being criticized even by parents of current Arts writers as being “totally awful” and “embarrassing to their family names,” the Arts section is looking to reach across a wider demographic of readers. “We really took a diverse group of editors this year,” said CXXXI Arts editor Charlie Dong, refefering to the three teenaged, Asian females running the section on the new board. The editors look to print the section in a white font on a pink background, and significantly increase the number of anime reviews and “How To” articles, the first of which being “How to Use Chopsticks.” Additionally, some were worried about the possibility of confusion between Nathalie with an “h” and “h”-less Natalie. However, “h”-Nathalie did not seem alarmed. “As an infant, my parents always had ‘Arts section editor’ in their dreams for my future,” said Nathalie. “Well aware of the large number of Natalie’s in the section, they threw the “h” into my name to set me above the rest.”
