Date: Fri, 25 Mar 1994 21:24:09 -0500 Subject: When Dinah Shores ruled the earth...(SWILnews #7) Okay... I want to know who put the "Unholy Swill" single up on the bulletin board. I saw the Bad Yams song title and it just made my morning. -L According to Literature, I picked the wrong weekend to skip town. Oh well, I was up to my ears in Ivy League debaters, and would sorely liked to have attended, no... really. In any event, I'm here now for the exciting... SWILNEWS: the header ---------------- Someone in the Office of Community Space has an odd sense of logic; after filling out a lengthy application for the use of Kirby for the rest of the semester, they mailed me another copy of the same one. And regardless of this,we always seem to get the room. Weird. [You'd think hundreds of other campus groups would be vying for our coveted Monday night slot. Like, say, DU. -TG] [oooh, topical comment -L] Excalibur ran smoothly after Besh and Don figured out the sound system, and the three people who weren't watching the Academy Awards that night appeared to be satisfied. [Which is more than I can say for anyone who did watch the three hours of hollywood nonsense. -TG] [Oh, come on, how often do you see Tom Hanks end a speech with "God Bless America" or Richard Gere urge us all to send good vibes to Tibet? -L] In any event, if there is a movie or two this week then maybe Jere7my will know about it and maybe you will too but for now we're not talking, boil us in Guava Nectar if you wish. Also, everybody who is at the meeting this week will be asked to donate a dollar to the movie cause. Failure to comply will be most unappreciated and you might just have to face a collection officer or two. Remember, co-presidents are always looking for good personal slaves for nasty, brutish work in the food vats. T-Shirts were voted on and I think the choice was a good one. What? There were two shirts? Really? Perhaps you ought to discuss this bit, L. Reunion shirts have been ordered, but might be slightly late for the reunion, cross your digits. After lively debate, quite dominated by our scaly and extinct visitors, of which there were many, Chris Cobb suggested the winning slogan "Jurrasic Party" Stephen Sample, designer of many cool shirts, suggested the graphic of Chris with half a lawyer hanging out of his mouth which was later modified to a partying allosaur, lawyer bits availiable on request at reunion. Possible fabric paint fest to come next weekend sothat we can all write "It looks more like a six foot turkey" on the back. Twenty-five have been ordered and reprints will be available for order. The regular shirt will feature the venerable picture of a planet and a space probe which comments "Oh my God, it's full of SWIL!" Regular shirts will be ordered tomorrow. BEM submissions are due SATURDAY!!! There's also this reunion thing that some people have expressed interest in having. Lesley has assured me that this is quite important, and that I should definitely be there.Alright, so here's the deal: Who: Everybody, I mean everybody. This includes all current non-members, a couple dozen dinosaurs (20 confirmed appearances, plus a few left to the chaos factor.) When: Next weekend. MOST of next weekend. Don't make any plans. Somebody decided it would start on April 1st. G-d knows it wasn't me! Where: Activties shall be in Bond, Sharples 3, and wherever else we can do things (various dumbwaiters perhaps) According to Besh (talk to her if any of this sounds wrong) people will probably be housed in four apartments in Strath Haven condos. We know this to be a maximum. Now, before you math majors out there start accusing us of putting five dinosaurs in each apartment, let me assure you that several current dupes... er... non-members have graciously offered to house people and crash space will be available in Sharples 3. Housing mailings to appear soon on the net for all those interested. Apparently there will be a spamming of sorts come reading week. More on that and other luncheon meat to follow. If Jonathan Seitz shows up to one more meeting, his entails may adorn our meeting room just in time for Easter. [or Pesach. -TG] Your loyal co-presidents [alright, your loyal co-president, Lesley. -TG] came up with a fantastic quote for the yearbook. We might even read it this Saturday. (yes we read it last Saturday, but gosh darn it, we like it so we might just read it again!) In any event, here it is: (Quote you all heard last Saturday) Gosh, it makes me feel all mushy inside. [ like a yam? -L] And with that we shall say goodbye and provide you, our listening audience with...
