Revolutionizing Hillside
(COLLEGE!)As you guys know, Hillside is our homebase. It is where we get our New England Classics, where we do our crossword puzzles, and where we do the majority of our people-watching. But no matter how much we love our Hillside, there is definetly some room for improvement. Read on.
Item #1) The Hillside Real Estate Crunch--> "Table-Pooling": Alright folks, we don't eat in the Rat for a reason. BC students flock to Hillside for the culture and atmosphere- the vanilla lattes, the panini's, and to enjoy the company of the purest yuppy crowd on campus. For all you econ majors, it is a simple supply/demand curve. The supply of tables is simply not adequate for the high demand by hungry Hillsiders. We have all experienced it- swiping your Eagle Card only to realize that the house is full and you don't know anyone with a table. But here's the frusturating part- 25% of the tables are being occupied by a single tenant, when there is room for atleast 4 or 5 kids (or 8 or 9, if you are on the girls soccer team or sailing team). We think we've come up with a good solution--> table-pooling. From now on, if you are a solo diner (or even worse, a Hillside studier), you will be introduced to another single tenant and so on and so on, until we have full tables of once-solo diners. This free's up several tables for the general population to enjoy. So tomorrow, if you are a single tenant, look around for the nearest solo diner, and introduce yourself. Be a part of the solution.
Item #2) The Backpack Rule- With the Hillside bottleneck effect, the lines are long enough already- we don't need Franky Five Classes (a Newtonian with his entire encyclopedia set in the backpack) wearing that monstrosity into the Red Zone (the area within the registers.) Franky is unknowingly taking up enough space for three people, which causes the lines to extend out to the Plex. Bookbags are to left outside the Red Zone. Don't be afraid to call kids on violations, this will be a team effort.
Shout Outs- *Medium Ups to Brian Boyle for a valiant effort in tonight's pie-eating contest. He lost to Mista Smiff who was just inhaling the pie in his mouf. *Big Ups to the folks at Applebee's for a great Grand Opening night- a true gonger, BC baseball stud J-Mac's 21st, and Paul Astuto's Cleveland Circle waiter debut. *Small Ups to the Mean Girls, who still do not sit with Joe or bring him a pen at Mass Comm. *Huge Ups to Yasmin Martinez for her generous sharing of typed history notes, the boys @ gongshow love you. *Good Luck to Dave D, our favorite off-road vehicle operator, as he battles the state of NH in court tomorrow in an effort to retain his driver's license. Live Free or Die, David.
Here's to Your Health Link of the Day: Contrary to common belief, gongshow@bc does not cater only to men. Here is a link for all of our beautiful female followers, who are going through an awkward time and experiencing many strange changes. (Noff wears one too!) http://www.kidshealth.org/teen/sexual_health/girls/bra.html
Through the Grapevine: Rumor has it that the Cleveland Circle's favorite crazy drunk homeless Indian was granted a substantial financial aid package and thus will be a walk-on lineman for the Eagles starting Monday. He has been working out in front of Store24 for six years now and is excited to join the squad. He says he chose Boston College because "it's exciting to play in the ACC and Ryan Ohliger has really sweet earrings."
In other breaking news, there is a new "serial flasher" at the Reservoir and he has been seen flashing female runners at night while sailing around on his boat. The police sketch a
rtist has drawn this picture of him to help narrow the suspects. -->
