Next time, reserve the row at the Monsters of Rock Concert weeks in advance, not the day before. This weekend is Casino Night, so everyone come and lose their money to Fleming House so we can throw more parties. Just so Linda doesn't think I've given up making sexist comments (after all what would I write the Insnide World about if I didn't have sexist comments?)

from page 4 More Inside World "Ow! Okay, okay you win. What do we do?" "Find out when Ditch Day is." So Eric and John were stuffed in a urinal and emerged in Ricketts again. But they knew that unless they accomplished their task the princess would get them, somehow. So they investigated. And they found much evidence that seemed to point to Friday, May 6. Elated, they reported to the princess. But lo! it was not Ditch Day, it was a fake Ditch Day! And John and Eric were ashamed. They had heen tricked! At least they hadn't called home because of it. But the princess was not pleased. She laid upon them a great task. "Go through every alley of each of the seven houses singing obnoxious songs. You may take r Jmpanions with you to aid you in your task." So John and Eric went forth singing with their loyal companions. They trekked through Heaven and Hell, through the lands of green and red, through the lands of Trojans and flame. Through the lands of pageness, they were beset by mustard and catsup and were hauled away to th~ torture cham bers where some of their companions fell by the wayside. They endured all. The princess found their deed to be to her liking. "I shall reward you for your effort. I shall send to you have fun at Capra!" And the royal toilet whisked them away to fun and excitement. Unfortunately, when they got back, it was too late to write the Inside World. Anyway, Eric and John had so much fun they decided to do everything they could to get that room again next year so they could have parties. So they used the bathtub drain and its time hiccup ing properties to go back in time and arrange to be on the social team for the half pick. They even made if appear as if they had been working on this Saturday's BDR party for the past week. What minds! Room pick for everyone else began Thursday. In a surprise move, Jerry and Suzette picked the Prexy double for next year. Other interesting results- Samer and his nose are doubling in 17; Sean, jealous of Eric's and John's adventures, picked one of the Snatch bathrooms; and Carlos and Kitt decided to double in Crud. And by popular vote, I get the pot. -signing off! Pip-Squeek ear Mr. Frink, When is Ditch Day? Every night at dinner the seniors promise that it's tomorrow so I go to bed arly and wake up at 8 AM, but the only thing happening is Wayne g~ing to Chern lab.

No one falls for the old Ditch Day trick anymore! Ditch Day is a hoax per 1HRr'~wry()f/f( trated by the institute to persuade the outside world that Tech is fun. Ofcourse it usually backfires MUffIN ,I since the media always runs "Revenge of the Nerds" stories and makes public mockery of us. Since you're already behind doing your homework, I suggest not doing your work and spending I ach day at the beach instead. When the Seniors show up at the beach, buy a newspaper. If the day on the front page isn't Saturday or Sunday, it's Senior Ditch Day. - Frink Zappa Yo Frink-Head! I'm an off-campus Senior from Ruddock. I think Ruddock is just way too severe now. It was a much mellower place when I was a frosh. I think that you should write an inside world just saying nice things about everybody. You could go around the house and get everyone to say something nice about someone they don't like. - Rosie's Main Man Dear Man, Get with the times. No one has time to drive around naked in pastel-colored VW's trailing a cloud of marijuana-induced happiness anymore. Acid is the main drug now. Why, just last week we sold $20 to Page with observable effects. Besides, what you're saying is totally ridiculous. Ifyou keep this up, you're going to have a head on collision with reality. I mean try being nice to people on the streets in Lebanon. For an example of how the world really works, I suggest that you go see Fatal Attraction or Scarface. - Frink Zappa Top Ten Sayings 0' the Week 10. Seniors are little pieces of poop. 9. Seniors are wus. 8. Seniors suck. 7. An HJ for just $1.99, for a guy like me that's mighty fine. 6. Seniors can't even fill up the fridge. 5. ATH DAY 4.
