Lucky #13

Good morning my lucky Libs!

 

I've now been subjecting you all to my ramblings for 13 weeks.  It's amazing what they'll let you get away with once elected to office, isn't it?  That, however, is a conversation for a different day.  For now, we've got lots of Lib-centric events on the horizon, so take a look at what's up and coming and be sure to pencil us in.  After all, you wouldn't want to miss all of the fun and excitement that erupts whenever there are a Lib or two around.

The Liberific Week

Lib Dinner

*Monday, April 12th at 5:30 in the Branford Pit*

Though the name may imply a musty and mildewy atmosphere, the Pit is the place to be on Monday evenings!  Come grab a meal with your favorite luscious Libs!

 

YPU - "Resolved: Alcohol Should Be Prohibited, Especially in Schools."

*Tuesday, April 8th at 7:30 in LC 317*

Earl Dodge, the former Prohibition Party Presidential Candidate, is our keynote speaker for this week.  I'm pretty sure you ALL have at least some semblance of an opinion on this issue, so you had better come to YPU this week!  Email Roger (roger.low@yale.edu) if you want to speak.  This is also the LAST meeting to qual, so come and sign in before the ship has sailed!

 

Discussion - "Is the environment more important than the economy?"

*Wednesday, April 9th at 7:30, location TBA*

Should we sacrifice the environment for a buck?  Do we really trust private companies to ensure we have places to keep nature as it should be, or is that just asking for smog and clear-cut forests?  Earth day isn't too far of, so come to our discussion in a fit of naturalist excitement!  (Our meeting location is in a state of limbo at the moment, so look for an update on Wednesday.)

 

Tie-Dye Extravaganza

*Saturday, April 17th at 1:30 in the JE courtyard*

This is a Lib-inspired (Sudler-funded) event!  See some wearable art with a social message and tie dye your own fair-trade shirt!  Or, bring something of your own to tie-dye if you prefer.  Take a break from your party-filled weekend to stop by, this should be a lot of fun.  (In case of rain, the extravaganza will move inside JE entryway F)

If you don't like a website called "The Manly Art of Wenching," well, I just don't know how to please you then.

 

Hot IPster of the Week:

Roger Low. 

So cute, so cuddly, so HOT.  What more can I say?  (I have it on good authority that his sister is hot too.  The Low family certainly has a lot to offer.)

 

The Lib Bitch:

 

There's a reason people go to libraries: to work.  Not to listen to the drivel that you spew to your so-called "friends" about what you consider an interesting life.  Sit down, shut up, and do some work.  Maybe that way you'll get out of here with a GPA that's a higher average than the amount of hickeys to be found on your neck on any given day.

 

Any event that ENDS before 7 am has no place on a college campus.

 

Hey, guess what?  I'm not interested.  Stop calling me before I get a restraining order.
