Hostage Situation
Late October: Three administrators walk into Leadership and announce that the next dance is cancelled unless the class comes up with a suitable method for handling drunks at the dances.

Put this in Your Pipe and Smoke It

Loser of the Week
For the first time ever, we are honoring two exceptional individuals with
this award. Loser #1: Johnny Bier, for breaking out a Budweiser
and proceeding to drink it in the middle of his econ class last Wednesday.
Bottoms up, kid, but couldn't you have chosen a higher-class beverage...say,
Anchor Steam? Loser #2: Mario Digneo for not noticing. Maybe
little Johnny wasn't the only one partaking in the frosty brew?
Kudos of the Week
Props to Emily Fraser-Thompson for working her ass off to
make the blood drive happen, and for donating every 8 weeks (like more
people should).
Runner-up: For the second time, Vivian Aragon-Stout
for being the only person in North America to qualify for a prestigious
ballet competition in Australia.
