THE SWILNEWS OF DEATH Andy seems to think that that's not a very friendly way to greet people, but I say, if it's a swilnews of death, wouldn't you want to be warned? And besides, the fatal effects of this swilnews can be averted, through daring deeds, courage, strength and submitting to Fran. [That last paragraph, and the header, is an example of what Swilnews would be like all the time, if I let Flash at the keyboard more often. Be afraid... --S] [Andy just said 'what's the name of the guy who stuck his thumb in the dike and saved holland?' to which I replied 'Hans Brinker.' Andy:'How come I've never heard of him?' My answer may have been incorrect, but that's no excuse . . . -F] Saturday the 18th is the last day that nominations for president will be accepted. So far, the nominees include Jeff "highly qualified" Hildebrand, Dave "on leave spring 1991" r, and Lord Julius' "I'm not even a non-member" Goat. The current presidents have not endorsed any of the candidates, but we are generally in favor of two-legged creatures who will be on campus during their presidency. You may draw your own conclusions. Elections will be held on December 1, 1990. Ed will be away debating. He's never been one for democracy... Philcon is this weekend. You have our permission to attend.
