With President Patrick shipping off for a stint overseas Julia Brenner—the current vice president—will be taking the reins of SEC for the rapidly approaching spring semester. Her first official order of business was the creation of this discussion forum where students can offer up some of their opinions.
All you kids grumbling about the choice of bands and frequency of shows don’t even have to get up off your asses to share your opinions anymore. Have at it boys!

Remember two years ago when god looked down upon our tiny campus of adultery and marijuana smoking and attempted to smite us with a blackout. Remember how we shook our fists at god and turned his blackout into the most epic snowball fight in the entire history of the world?
Remember how out of nowhere there were Tallboys of Bud Heavy everywhere and how your friend pulled a joint out of his pocket and all of a sudden all your homework disappeared behind a curtain of falling snowballs? Remember how fun it was to make and break alliances at whim? Remember when me and all my hipster friends totally won the snowball fight against the jocks just like in the movies? YEAH?
Well the Outing Club wants to do that again. 8pm. Case Green.
Looking for something to do later tonight that doesn’t involve balancing equations, Gabriel Garcia-Marquez or wandering around the 3rd floor of the library looking for a place to study? Check out the Rithmos Half-Time Show at 10:30 in Filene.
Rithmos will be performing a few numbers from this past semester and will feature special performances from Drastic Measures, Stompin’ Soles and Break Beats.
Members of EAC and any other interested parties are invited to fast on December 9th, the opening day of the Copenhagen Climate Negotiations, to raise awareness about the need for effective climate justice. Students will be gathering in the D-Hall Atrium “during meal times” to call legislators and talk to other students. For more information and a quick rant check thefacebook.
It seems that despite Skidmore’s best efforts, wishes will go unanswered this holiday season. In a surprisingly priggish move, the upstanding citizens1 at Make-A-Wish foundation have rejected the Skidmore Photography Club’s donation of the profits from the Skidmore Spur Calendar, explaining that it would be “inappropriate” for them to accept the contribution.
The calendar, which features semi-nude Skidmore students in barely risque poses, was expected to raise as much as 5,000 dollars. The Photography Club is already looking for a replacement charity—one that will hopefully be more interested in helping people than pretending genitals don’t exist.
Just a word of advice for the Make-A-Wish Foundation: if a bunch of college students want to give you a bunch of money you should accept, even if they showed some pubic hair to get it.
1Dear Old People, I’m using this in the most pejorative sense.
Earlier tonight episode 3 of Sexiled premiered in Davis but a lot of us were academically martyring ourselves in the library and couldn’t make it. Thankfully those tech wizards threw that shit online faster than you can say procrastination. The YouTube.com playlist is right here.
Don't skimp on the tie gentlemen, this isn't middle school
Tonight is Junior Ring and you know what that means? Keystones and expensive clothes.
The whole shebang kicks off at 10pm and hopefully y’ll heeded my advice and bought your tickets beforehand or you’re going to look like the BIGGEST FUCKING IDIOT ON CAMPUS when you have to pay 5 dollars at the door.
Just a quick reminder, everyone at this dance will have a bed within walking distance, there is no reason for you two to shack-up behind the curtains. People keep their coats back there and nobody wants to pay for dry cleaning. Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do and I’m sure you’ll be fine.
