Stephen Carter

Known to his friends as the exterminator, Stephen T. Carter unfortunately left this world on May 5th due to knee surgery complications in conjunction with a bear attack.

In his tenure at Whitman, Stephen has become friends with many people, one or two of which he actually likes.

He came to Whitman College to study English but became a Politics major after accidently checking the wrong box on a registrar’s form and never noticing.

Stephen spent seven semesters as a writer or editor of the Back Page, but it was only until his fourth semester that he realized the page was supposed to be ironic. When not writing, Stephen enjoyed spending all of his free time alone in his room, only coming out to tell people to be quiet and to buy Dido CDs.

Stephen was known around campus as an active member of the community. He served two terms as President of the Gardening Team and was the co-founder (along with Chuck Cleveland) of the Whitman’s premier freestyle rap battle group, “The Fuckz.”

Stephen will be remembered by his close friends, his family, and his estranged two-year old son, Billy, a mistake that he never publically acknowledged.

Services for Stephen will be held at the local Safeway on Rose on May 20th at 4pm. As per Stephen’s last wishes, everybody who attends will recieve a vial of Stephen’s ashes to discreetly rub into the fresh produce.
