This weekend, Kenyon welcomed back its social scene much like Aramark welcomed back its Kenyon diners ... with a lack of taste. Expecting some of the campus to say "hey we're back, let's go out and show off our new outfits" and others to say "I haven't been drunk in more than two solid weeks, let's rock this "Pam, so yor. could have Sar i: place," it was extremely surprising to see neither of these sentiments actually produce any events. How- Pam, Ton and Higleyand ever, like the focaccia bread Thursday night, there were moments of flavor. would sound like a band." Kicpfer Friday night, while every fraternity and sorority were baby-sittin- g freshmen prospects, apartments Daniel and dorms were showing students who was their daddy. From small parties down south in dorms and a pizza-hu- t get together, to up north at the Bcxleys, the night proved to be like Gund omelets ... you have to make your own. Saturday it seemed like people threw away all of their energy into all-st- u battles over football teams instead of actually planning an event. In turn, people showed up to the Late Nites Battle of the Bands event in rare form. After people left the pub festivities, a crazier approach to partying was defined At Aclands not only did party-goer- s witness a person eating a live fish, a boy with blood streaming down his "The Nerdery." hand and animal crackers on fire, but also just how sketchy one night can be.. This last party went down MikeMcHaneY about as well as the catfish nuggets that Peirce tried to pass by. Unfortunately Kenyon's welcome back parties left much to be desired. Add to that the fact that the social scene had about as much variety as the rice bar, and appeal to match, it's a good thing we don't come here for the food or weekends alone. So remember if you are going to have a party, it better be good, because you never know, we might be
