Sunset over Foss Hill, as seen from Usdan

Zonkered?

Hey kiddos. Be safe out there. But of course: feed your head!

LSD-25
Shrooms
Everything Else

Remember, stay safe. Don't use anything you haven't looked into (i.e. don't just assume that 12 hour acid trip is a joke). More important than anything - enjoy what is looking to be a gorgeous day on the hill!

SNOW!!!!

From www.wunderground.com, I bring you:



... A storm system will bring snow to northern portions of the
forecast area and a mixture of snow and sleet to southern portions...

The National Weather Service in Upton has issued a Heavy Snow
Warning... which is in effect from 10 am to 11 PM EST Thursday. 

Snow is expected to develop from southwest to northeast across
interior portions of the lower Hudson Valley and southern
Connecticut Thursday morning. Periods of moderate to heavy snow
are then expected Thursday afternoon... .tapering off by Thursday
evening.

Heavy snow during the mid-afternoon will result in 4 to 6
inches... and total accumulations are expected to range from 8 to
10 inches by the time the storm ends.

A Heavy Snow Warning means severe winter weather conditions are
expected or occurring. Significant amounts of snow are forecast
that will make travel dangerous. Only travel in an emergency. If
you must... keep an extra flashlight... food... and water in your
vehicle in case of an emergency.

I'll see you all on the hill tomorrow, I'm off to buy a sled!

Can't Get to Work Today?

Y'all kids in the city know what I'm talking about:
ARRGGGHHHH
When I walked into the E86 Street station this morning, my first thought was "wow, it's like Foss Hill on 4-20!" Only... Not. I saw one woman push her way into the train by yanking another woman out by the hair. WTF, New York?

Fare thee well, O kegs!

It looks like a few of you may have a slightly more sober Spring Fling than intended. P-Safe just dug up two kegs buried under Foss Hill. Much to my dismay, the P-Safe officer on guard declined to pose with them.

New Science Building Location: Foss Hill?

See that? That's an official plan to put the brand new Molecular and Life Science Building at the Base of Foss Hill. Take another look in 3-D.




That's Wyllys Ave. in the foreground and that's the base of Foss Hill on the right. Among the many locations being currently considered, some of which call for the demolition of the stately Shanklin, this plan, known as Option G, is apparently the idea of one faculty member who wants to bring the sciences closer to the center of campus.

In all likelihood the plan will not pass. "It's not going to happen," said Matt Ball '08, current WSA member and unopposed candidate for WSA President (his only competition is the write in candidate "Giant Joint," who in past years has pulled quite a few votes). "The talk about it sounds like it's pretty much doomed," he said.

At Sunday night's WSA meeting, most people signalled their displeasure with the idea--though some did try to compromise.

"What if they constructed it in a way so people could sled under the building?" one WSA member quipped.

If you'd like to see the options that are actually being considered, go to Blackboard and you can see all the plans. The planning has only been going on for 12 weeks and there's still time to influence the direction of the project. Consider checking it out.

April Fools!

Liana Hernandez '09 opened her door today to find this:



Pranksters Tim Horgan-Kobelski '09 and Collin McMichael '09 write "Every shoe, bottle, drawer, and other receptacle was also filled with caution tape. The pictures don't exactly capture the extent of the taping but do show a decent enough amount of carnage.
