Channel, March 6, 2006 - Description
of UFO Episode
"Roswell conjures up the most famous UFO case in US history, luring
believers on an unending search for a 'smoking gun' locked away in some
secret government vault. Could Canada have the real thing--a UFO case
with a certifiable paper trail? In Nova Scotia, on the night of October
4, 1967, in the remote town of Shag Harbour, dozens of eyewitnesses--airline
pilots, fishermen, teenagers, and police officers--see what appears
to be an extraterrestrial craft hovering above the water's surface.
Some claim to have seen and heard the UFO plunge into the waters off
the shoreline. Canadian authorities dispatched the Navy, Coast Guard,
and police, and after a full government inquiry, claimed not a trace
of anything suspicious. But does the government know more than it's
telling? Lingering questions lead two UFO researchers to launch an investigation--and
they uncovered documents that make it clear that the case should never
have been closed."

"New Jersey Folk Festival Springs Forth With Culture and Fun"
"Clopp said that it's been a while since he's seen anyone but other
college students, and 'I haven't seen a dog in weeks.'"
• Of all quotes
they could pick, the newspaper went with that one.
Another excerpt from that article: "'A part of (the enjoyment)
is because it's our own community,' said 21-year-old Rutgers College
junior Brian Clopp, 'It's nice too because you blend into the rest of
New Brunswick.'"...

"Aspiring Writers Realize Their Dream Through Collaboration"
-- By, Michael New
"A few dozen people are sitting quietly in a dimly lit room around
a simple wooden table, talking about late nights in dark bars and hate
letters to lost loves. It seems like a scene from an independent film.
Someday it may become one, but Tuesday night it was the scene at the
first workshop of the year for the Screenwriters' Community of Rutgers
University.
The informal meeting
of the University's promising young screenwriters was held in the Cap
and Skull Room of the Rutgers Student Center on the College Avenue campus.
( ...)
Founded in 2001 by then-Rutgers College first-year student Brian Clopp,
the club was originally supposed to be an avenue for young screenwriters
to express themselves. 'There was interest in a group,' said Clopp,
now co-president, 'but the University didn't provide enough resources
unless you were in Mason Gross [School of Arts]. I looked at the resources
and saw that I was in a leadership position.'
Four years later,
that group has grown into a full-fledged student organization. With
upwards of 60 people, SCRU is still growing in number and scope. In
spite of its name, Clopp said, it is open to just all students - whether
they want to share what they have written or wish to learn how to write
screenplays from scratch.
'Most importantly,
it's about the members,' he said."
