Band Member Forgets to Check Email, Shows Up to Library Rally Alone

Adam Adler — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 08:15:31 +0000

Every year, the band rallies all the libraries on campus. But this year the administration cancelled the library rally. The band sent an email out to inform its members that the rally had been cancelled, but one band member, O’Leary, forgot to check his email. He showed up anyway to rock out and bring the funk to the students of Stanford.

hi all,

Adam had a playdate with another first-grader this afternoon. I came
to check on them in the Lounge, and they were playing with a large
purple dildo. Two six-year-olds.

This is not acceptable. Don’t leave anything like this in the Lounge
again.

Band Celebrates Arrival of New Dollies

Eric Conner — Sun, 30 May 2010 22:55:48 +0000

The band on Thursday celebrated the arrival of a new set of dollies. The new dollies are expected to move more smoothly than the old and will accompany the band to all of its major performances. Band members generally look for two traits during dollie selection: a sturdy base and a strong, straight back. Both greatly improve candidates’ chances.

Candidates must demonstrate their abilities on Dollie Day, when hopefuls need to show the band what they’re made of. “We get dollies of all shapes and sizes on Dollie Day,” said assistant manager Ditto. “Small wheels, big wheels, wide base, short base, the list goes on…But we look for the ones who move best under lots of pressure.”

Also, the Band said that there will be a strict “no riding the dollies” policy to prevent wear and tear and possible injury.

When asked about the new dollies, junior tuba player Shotgun expressed his relief. “I’m just glad the process is over, and we have chosen the best ones. Carrying my tuba around was getting to be a real drag.”

There has been a lot of positive feedback on the new dollies. Mellophone player Shazbot said, “I’m really glad we have these new ones. They move really well and make us look really good. They also go wherever you push them without much fuss.”

Synergy Residents Participate in Outhouse Draw

Last week, Synergy residents participated in their annual outhouse draw, where they fought over who will get to occupy the most desirable outhouses and lavatories during the next academic year. Competition this year was fierce, with over eight residents vying for outhouse four. Synergy resident Greg Nart explained why he prefers outhouse four. “It really doesn’t even need an explanation. Everyone knows outhouse four is the best. It’s got the best location, the softest toilet paper and, best of all, an interesting discussion on the bathroom wall.”

Though the outhouse draw went largely according to plan, the event did have a few snags. Specifically, two of the draw groups were split over the course of the draw. “There’s nothing better than hanging out in the bathroom with my girlfriends—it’s why I came to Synergy. Now, I’m stuck in outhouse seven with Suzie Thallows. ResEd seriously needs to reform the outhouse draw process,” said Synergy resident Jenny Rempel.
