'We ju t do what we like and hang out," she aid. I like to make food." harp worked in the kitchen thi weekend preparing 4000 worth of rush food. Baker has planned several informal event for the coming days, including an "unhappy happy hour" on the roofdeck, karaoke, and small barbeques. Random has planned events which include a game of Jenga played with pieces of 2x4 foot lumber. Sharp said that East Campus had a $20,000 rush budget this year. "We had a big surplus. We have over 400 people in our dorm, so we had a huge budget," she said. "This seemed like a good time to have a four-day party."
East and west square off Yesterday also featured a large water fight between West and East Campus dormitories. "It started from a fight that I had with the Senior House rush chair. We decided to settle it on the playing field," Maron said. According to Ankur M. Mehta '03, Baker was doing quite well until members of East Campus, Random Hall, and the Tau Epsilon Phi fraternity joined the fight. The combined forces quickly forced Baker to make a hasty retreat. "East Campus reamed West Campus," said Charisse L. Massay '03, a Senior House resident. According to Massay, the victors marched around campus chanting "Water makes the grass grow. Kill ! Kill! Kill!" after winning the fight.
Bexley chooses not to rush As usual, Bexley elected to par- ticipate in "anti-rush," a series of activities designed to scare away prospective members. One tactic involved spraying water out of a window and onto any freshmen who entered or left the dorm. Jenny A. Lichter '05 said that "there was some vaseline on some railways." In addition, she said that her suite mate heard some loud pornography. Lichter is not currently consid- ering Bexley, and plans to move to Burton-Conner. "I think that I want to be in a more social envi- ronment," she said. Crossword Solution from page 6 TYAOlwADIS'A'OM l~l~ ~ ~ I **t ~~: ~~~ _S TAT ISM.
