Ideally, I could publish a single page with "SNOW TRIP" in 48-point font and be done with this week's notes. But I can't.

SKI TRIP

   Be in North Lounge with your small luggage and sleeping bag by 1:30 Fri Jan 12. Bus leaves at 2:00 with or without you. The rest you know from the mandatory meeting, yes? Yes.

Upcoming Events

  Stanford Sierra Camp is hiring young, tan, and virile Stanford students to man their top-secret vacationing facility. Submissions are due in Bowman by Mon Jan 22.

   The Frosh Thank-a-Thon is in early Feb. Branden claims it shall be enjoyable and "dare [he] say, fun?" Well, he dared, but that doesn't make it so. Free food, candy, etc. In Tressider.

   Want to tutor high-school students in math? Please? Well, if you do, contact dchang@leland about the SUMO program.

   Admit weekend is coming up, and Stanford is looking for a few good Ho-Ho's. No, not the crime-stopping confection with its creamed filling, chocolatey icing, and rich devil's food-cake -- HOUSE HOSTS! Some of you might need the advance notice to start picking up your floors, is all.

   SEAS is having a meeting 7:00 PM Wed Jan 17 at the Haas Center. If you like the Earth, you might like SEAS. On a related note, Twain residents determined after a brief but impassioned debate that we only have one (1) Earth -- not two, as some residents believed. Learn more about this in Introduction to Earth Systems. Or don't.

It's like there's a party in Twain's pants* and everyone's invited!

   This Sat Feb 3, get ready to screw your roommate in a hopefully metaphoric fashion. Twain's "Inaugural Ball" is your chance to set your roommate up with the partner of their dreams -- or nightmares! Details TBA.

* Party actually in Twain's lounge.

Twain Matters

   Kerry Bach has finally packed his bags and left us hallway-blocking, slip-n-sliding Twain miscreants to our own devices. Replacing him is Makoto "Mako" Ushihara. Or as his previous residents called him, "The Shark."

   Twain government has gone through some shakeups. The fast-talking Lily Chu and smooth-walking Amy Hsu are our freshman and upperclass presidents, irrespectively. Andrew Vestal (that's me) remains your scribe, though Noah demands a recount. Try not to think about Twain having four social chairs but only one environmental rep. The rest of the dorm government remains unchanged. I think.
