From chaos @ cs.swarthmore.edu Sat Jul 17 20:56:28 1999 Date: Thu, 29 Apr 1999 15:37:35 -0400 (EDT) From: Chaos Golubitsky To: _swat.org.swil @ cc Subject: Brother, can you spare a SWILNews #12? Everyone, please remain calm. There is no cause for alarm. Please proceed quietly and in an orderly fashion to the nearest subject header. Again, we repeat, there is absolutely no cause for alarm. all right, now that everyone's out of the way, what do we do? today was going perfectly normally. we went to math class, and took frantic notes (and watched the teletubbies! -c) (and okay, we had penguins in our class, but hey, it *seemed* normal! -d). we checked our mail, we picked up the third schlock movie, and we went to lunch. then we walked home (and it's a lovely day. everyone should go appreciate it. -d) and ambled over to dagger's room. we opened the door, turned on the computer--again, everything seemed perfectly normal. there were no signs that something was dreadfully wrong. (obviously, something was dreadfully wrong, or we wouldn't have gone into all this description. -c) (i dunno, i kind of like playing with people's minds. -d) (dagger, put the people's minds down. you don't know where they've been. -c) at this point, we moved the poster over the fireplace and opened the secret safe (oh, shoot, we shouldn't have told them where the secret safe is. -c) where we keep our swilnews plots. there was nothing there. Anyone having information about the current whereabouts of our SWILNews plot please contact presidents @ swil.org. Thank you. SWILBusiness Walpurgisnacht is this Friday at 9. We have Sharples III reserved starting at 8, so if you want to use the kitchen, go ahead. Anyone who is not bringing food should give $2 or $3 to John by tomorrow. Bring horror/fertility (hint: this means sex) stories to read. The following people promised to bring food for Walpurgisnacht: JimMosk cookies Amy Swift chocolate covered espresso beans Abigail percolator and coffee (hey, a percolator isn't food! -d) Rebecca Paul cups Sarah Bergstrom some food Lindsay Herron pretzels and diet soda Megan Hallam fabulous brownies Kyla cans o' soda Spamageddon is still happening. The Schlock schedule is: Monday Godzilla vs. Megalon (Kirby) Tuesday The Day the World Ended (Dupont) Wednesday Robot Monster (Kirby) All movies are at 10 pm. At the upcoming meeting we will be discussing the success of this year's SWILCon and prospects for the future. If you have an opinion about SWILCon, you should bring it to the meeting or e-mail it to Cloak if you're not going to be there. This is going to be the main topic of discussion at meeting this week; we will try to go through other SWILBusiness at the beginning of meeting. Reminder that Senior Remembrances are May 8. Rack your brains for silly stories (or if you can't think of any, just bring your racked brains, they'll be silly enough! -c) about the graduating non-members. E90 is going to kill Alastair. This would be bad. We need to start talking about next fall. Next fall is going to happen soon. (in fact, you could say that next fall is going to happen in 3.5 weeks, but you would be lying. -c) Anyone who's going to be around during Orientation should contact Cloak to help stuff frosh. (no, we're not going to be eating them. that would be gross. -d) We're showing the original version of the Star Wars Trilogy, because we voted. We'll probably go to RenFaire on 10 September, unless anyone has strenuous objections. Eoj is not taking off his shirt or anyone else's. Movies were nominated. We e-mailed you about that separately. If you still haven't voted and want to, the deadline is Friday at 6 pm. The list will be announced at meeting. A coup was attempted and failed. (another meeting, another coup. sigh. -d) Non-SWILBusiness Lindsay is having a Happily Ever After Movie Fest May 8, with "Ever After" and "Mulan." Several trips are in the planning to see Star Wars I. If you want to go on opening night, e-mail Cloak. If you want to go during graduation, e-mail Sarah (sarahb @ sccs). If you want to go during Alumni Weekend, e-mail Jimmosk. (If you want to go in a boat, e-mail crumregatta @ cc. If you want to go with a goat, look on the web to find the e-mail address for the band goats r us. -d) Buffy this week was not new.
