Date: Tue, 25 Jan 1994 21:59:09 -0500 Subject: SWILnews #1, the sequel Hello everyone, thing and item in plasma-like state. As you can probably guess, this is not jere7my tho?rpe but a raiding party from the Crab Nebula concentrating in Interpretation Theory. No, just kidding, the incumbent presidents were abducted, but we're getting along with the negotiations nicely, thank you very much. In any event, this Swilnews is brought to you by Literature & The Grotesque, who were inaugerated on Saturday night to many hurrahs. Yessir, the inaugeral proceedings were quite the place to be this past weekend. The festivities included such wonderous events as the cider cooling competition as well as the running of the potted plants. Pardon me, that would be the high-speed changing of the potted plants as specified in the Pony Express handbook. All horticulture aside, a fairly good time was had by all except perhaps the Claydonians. There was filking, food, and fun and a good deal of flying Play-Doh... [Just a note, it is held in extreme disfavor by this administration to blow arthropods in the general direction of one or both presidents. -L ] [ Apparently, it is not held in extreme disfavor by at least half of this administration to confuse the other half of this administration. -TG] [Of course, everybody loves a good healthy dose of brackets! -TG] [Or Brocketts. -TG ] ...Sorry, computer problems Our first act as co-presidents was to have a plastic Coke bottle sent to Colombia for recycling this semester. We are currently negotiating its' tuition. [By the end of Saturday evening, we assure you, all this made sense. -TG] A note of commendation must be given to our former president Mr. Tho?rpe, who made good on his campaign promise before leaving office. Yes, that's right, our own loveable George C. Hurliman Memorial Library Memorial Library has found itself a new home in Tarble 3__. Although still unassembled, the disintegration process of the boxes suggests that George will be unpacked shortly. We hear rumors of individuals offering to help the process along. Nao is perhaps interested or perhaps simply the target of slanderous half-truths. Also at Saturday's meeting there was talk about the upcoming reunion. We recieved assurance that we would all be invited and that this wasn't simply some plot by Kendra and Beth to hang with the Dinosaurs for a weekend. Location has been narrowed to either Sharples 3 or Bond . More to come on that, including some neat ideas that have been sent by Jed. We look forward to hearing more about this, especially who's paying for it. Also, SUBMIT TO BEM. Or else. We have toothpicks. Not mentioned- the St.Valentine's day massacre is coming up and we need to start thinking about supplies and organization. -i.e. who's going to be responsible for giving Charles a firearm this year? [The mind boggles. -L] Lyndsley Wilkerson stuck her head in the door this week for the second consecutive time. If she does it next week, we may just have to dismember the damn thing. There was some non-SWIL business... really, there was...um...right. And now a study in transcribing handwriting, fondly referred to as...
