...festival, with submissions in fiction, documentary, stop-motion animation, and hand-drawn animation—as well as one music video. The event, a collaborative effort of SOCH administrators and several student organizations, was a welcome breath of fresh air at the chronically under-used student space. Colleen F. O’Brien ’11, the events coordinator at the SOCH who spearheaded the event, said that the festival owes its existence primarily to former manager David R.

While the North Korean state media reported that the missile had launched a satellite into space, broadcasting "immortal revolutionary paeans" to the heavens, both Korean and U.S. monitors said that the missile had failed to release anything into orbit. "Stage one of the missile fell into the Sea of Japan/East Sea," reads an official report from the United States Northern Command.
