There will be food. If you want to eat any of it, you should give $3 to Nick Ward before the party. It will cost more if you wait until the party. The SWIL 24th Reunion: SWIL alumni will converge here on the weekend of November 8th to 11th. Many of them need crash space. Offer to host an alum by replying to this SWILNews. The alumni are all fun people, so you want to get to know them. Pumpkin Caroling: On Halloween, we will dress up and walk around singing pumpkin carols to people. Costumes are not mandatory. Free A's: We will be handing out free A's at this Saturday's SWILMeeting, and after midterms, you know you need one! Movie: Next Monday's SWILMovie will be "The Heroic Trio". ***SWILBusiness*** splat! The hills are alive with the sound of rabble, who are less pathetic than they've been in years. erp! Thanks to everybody who helped with the 'Dactyl hunt. Thanks especially to JC and Mark, now everybody: For they are jolly good wizards, For they are jolly good wizards... ping! It's still too early to talk about the Massacre. Nobody has expressed an opinion about whether it's too early to sing about the Massacre. zounds!

Anna volunteered to reserve the WRC for SWILowe'en. Nick and Mark volunteered to organize food-getting for the same. They are all wonderful people. yay! Let's see, there were the people talking without speaking, and the people hearing without listening, so I think it's fair to say that nothing important has happened at meeting yet. bleep! The Pterodactyl Hunt Committee will be convening to do organizational things pretaining to being ready for next year's hunt, and finding other cool things to do with the hunt equipment. Interested parties should contact Old Ben (bnewman @ sccs). ngyerp! Attack, of the Killer Tomatoes! Attack, of the Killer Tomatoes! They'll squish you, squash you, beat you, mash you, chew you up for brunch, And finish you off for dinner or lunch! And they're also prominently featured in last Monday's SWILMovie. quack! The Lottery happened. We allowed Mark to cut the lottery deck. He won a Mr. Potatohead keychain. Snap! Crackle! Pop! (Oh no, there's an electrical fire in the SWILNews! -c) (Probably because someone poured Rice Krispies (tm) on it. -r) ***NonSWILBusiness*** fnord! Qian got mail about abortion, and Noda was here. ("The long term contract I had to sign says I'll be making these movies 'till the end of time, with my Noda, N, O, D, A, Noda..." -k) thip! crinkle! spoit! Kyra (klj @ sccs) is showing "Trigun" Sunday evenings in Dartmouth House D3. moop! Solas, bringer of quality Irish music, is having a concert at Bryn Mawr this Friday at 8pm. BDan (daniel @ sccs) will be going, and can tell you how to get there. (Are we almost there yet? -c) (Not even close. -s) sproing! Votes were taken against making choices and against getting beat up for stating your opinion. ni! It was declared that this is Florida for purposes of meeting, but Northern New York or Seattle for purposes of weather. Living Wage Now! Ethan Jucovy received mail: what is different between idiom, and cliche with no address? chirp! Matt asked Ethan who he is. aieeee! There are more Ethans than Rebeccas, and more Bens than Ethans. (Thus there are more Bens than Rebeccas -c) (Only if we force our model to obey certain meaning postulates. -s) Mrifk! You, yes you, should get a van license. It's easy and fun. You can then help transport portions of SWIL to various fun events in remote locales. And we will love you forever. Amen!
