\"saraashley\"<\/a>Carlisle Uncut: Stories off the Beaten Path\u00a0<\/em>is a series of stories produced by first year students during the Campus Media Pre-Orientation program. \u00a010 students arrived on a Sunday, interviewed people on Monday, edited on a Tuesday and aired their stories on WDCV by Wednesday morning. \u00a0It was a fast paced introduction to audio journalism, storytelling and learning about their new home of Carlisle through the eyes of the individuals who live here. We will post\u00a0a new story every day this week until all 5 stories are told.<\/p>\n

Stealing the Mermaid<\/h3>\n

You see her everywhere. She’s on tote bags, street signs, fake tattoos, admissions flyers and other Dickinson gear but the original is sheltered inside a glass case, safe from those who want to abduct her. \u00a0Even the one perched high above campus on Old West is a fake as the real mermaid swims in the quiet waters of the library. \u00a0Even though she looks odd compared to other famous mermaids from stories there is still something that has drawn students to steal her time and time again.
