Homecoming Recap // Snippets

Homecoming Dance (Hurricane Katrina Hits Bayside High): BC's annual Homecoming Dance, which has bounced around a few different locations in the past years, was hosted this year in the Mods Parking Lot (where even the cars are drunk!!!). Rumors were flying about Breathalyzer tests being administered at the entrance, but this did not faze the hard-partying coeds of Boston College. As is tradition, the dancers arrived in rosy-cheeks and glassy-eyes and wearing their best dancing shoes. What started out as wholesome formal fun quickly tailspinned into a rain-soaked, puddle-splashing PeeFest. Read on for eyewitness reports.
"The Port-a-Potties were located against the plex, so you had to walk out from under the tent and through the rain to urinate. Kids were standing behind the food tables, pissing under them. It was complete chaos, and I was worried for my personal safety. Plus, I couldn't even French Kiss my girlfriend because the dancefloor was so packed!!" -Pistol Pete Frates, Has Beens d-man / Birdball #3 /A&S '07.

Rumor has it that the dancefloor was soon flooded and rioting dancers began to loot Lower Dining Hall of chicken-parm subs. It's too bad that we have been banned from so many hotels because BC students can't control their urge to urinate. We are now on-campus, outdoors, under tents in a parking lot, because hotel managers supposedly don't like it when you pee in their elevators. This is an epidemic which is slowly threatening the Boston College social scene. Here is an excerpt of an article following a debacle of a past Homecoming dance-

At midnight, the hotel asked the Office of the Dean for Student Development (ODSD) officials to end the dance.
"We asked if the dance could continue as close to 1 a.m. as possible," Covelle said. "But students were vomiting, breaking stuff, urinating in the ballroom, in stairwells and in other conference rooms. They were also passed out throughout the hotel."

Sounds like a real gonger to us!!!! However, because of this bad behavior, we are now dancing to a whole new tune. A real crappy one, if you ask us. We went from hardwood dancefloors to white-lined parking spaces. We heard that one overly-intoxicated reveler vomited in Parking Space 28B. However, one group did benefit from this wet and wild sock hop- the AHANA Boat Cruise is now the biggest and best dance at the Heights.

SNIPPETS:

• Big Ups to Adam Reasoner for bringing the Keuka Derby to the Heights. More on this phenomenon soon.
• Big Ups to the intramural hockey crusaders who are against everything Has Beens. This is a huge compliment to our program and we love what you're doing. It's great for the league.
• Big Ups to the Women's Soccer team for beating No.5 ranked Virginia. Girls, we love what you're doing on the field and we love what you're doing in Hillside. Keep table-pooling. PS- Laura Harvey, a freshman keeper, was the Wethersfield High School Eagle mascot. When are Baldwin try-outs?
