SURPRISE! IT'S A SWILNEWS! Yes, thanks to the tireless efforts of your fearless co-presidents and the sheer good luck of us both having some time Friday morning (oh wondrous day!), you, Swil non-member par excellance (or whoever happens to be reading this illustrious document), are about to receive all the latest in tid-bits and nuggets of wisdom. Ain'tcha lucky? (Don't answer that.) First of all, we of the Swarthmore college community are pleased, nay, thrilled, to have the opportunity to see Lloyd Alexander live and in person on Thursday, April 19, 1990 at 4:15 in Kirby. Avail yourself of this opportunity or forever wallow in the depths of your ignorance and the realization that the angels weep for you. But hey, it's your choice. It's too late to submit to BEM unless you really want to. Or even want to just a little. It's NOT too late to give Jeff $6.09 (or any sum in excess thereof) for the Swilshirt which you no doubt ordered. You still have a day to decide whether you're going to see _The_Empire_Strikes_Back_ or Vertigo-go with Purple Crayon. No advice. You're on your own for this one. It IS too late to cast your ballot for Dukakis/Bentsen. It's NOT too late to READ THE ATTENDANCE LIST!

L8r daize, dudes, F & S (Free-wheeling & Spirits)
