When will Billy snap? Will Mandy ever realize that corn rows are not the way to go? What the hell is up with the name “Ytossie?” Though none of these questions were answered Saturday night, at least four parties on campus soughtto recreate the fascinating debauchery that is “Temptation Island.” Where better to recreate this example of humanity at its worst than at TAP? Surprisingly, the Social Council did not come up with the Temptation Island theme first-the women’s hockey team would like to t

So we beat Williams, and obviously the only method to adequately display our glee was to tear down the goal posts. That’ll show those cocky Williams players! Damn, we just ruined our own field. But no matter! We have an entire year until next season, and as no shards of metal managed to impale anyone as the posts hit the ground, it was an all-around good time, as most can attest. Except for maybe Scott Foster ’01, who said, “I was having a great time until the post I was hanging on fell on top o

With dozens of people recklessly dancing to the strains of ’80s music and a party-wide rendition of Jimmy Buffett’s “Why Don’t We Get Drunk and Screw,” the event was a scandalous display of drag and debauchery, all for the low price of three dollars. No, TAP does not charge admission now. It was the fourth annual players’ Ball, an event hosted by the men’s basketball team to raise funds and the campus blood-alcohol level. Of the several lip sync acts, some of the loudest cheers went to the act

Saturday night was characterized by unseasonably warm weather, drinks that ran out before 10:30 and one helluva drunken fight. Or so some believe. There might have been anywhere from two to five fights, actually. It’s hard for witnesses to piece details together because Stone’s annual “Endless Summer” party seemed to leave all participants completely intoxicated, as Heidi Alexander ’03 can attest. “I was standing right there next to the fight, but I don’t remember what happened,” she said. It

To several drunken partyers, it was the Apocalypse. To others, it was just a power outage. To The Student, it’s news. Details are sketchy, as all eye-witnesses were inebriated out of their minds, but around 2:30 a.m. Saturday night, two flashes of lightning lit up the sky, and then everything went black. There were enough screams following the power outage that some were sure it was the Second Coming, but everyone remained intact-unless they were losing their dinner on the social quad-leading

An event once distinguished by mass fish-swallowing, this year’s Social Council Luau was marked by a disturbing repetition of Third Eye Blind songs. Though fish were again involved, none seemed to be devoured, as opposed to last year’s carnivorous behavior. As an impressive upgrade from last year’s easy-to-swallow guppies, these fish were full-grown, probably acting as a deterrent to the hungrier partiers. Though their purpose remains shrouded in mystery, several people tried to catch the fish
