Who's in charge of this operation?
You have to wonder sometimes how college faculty can be so clueless... last night the College of Chemistry organized an alumni octoberfest event at Pyramid. The Dean, wanting to be nice, asks grad student point man Matt Bush, "do you think the graduate students would want to come?" Of course they would, so all the graduate students in the college receive an invitation with the words, "complimentary octoberfest".
So the story goes, the Dean told Pyramid he expected approximately thirty graduate students to attend. I must ask, Dr. Harris, what's going through your head? Don't you understand the motivational power behind the mere insunation that there might be free beer? Graduate students are driven to free beer like moths to flame, and you're guessing only thirty of us with show up? Are you high?
Pyrmaid, understandably, was a little perturbed when well over a hundred thirsty students showed up and had to start turning people away halfway into the event. That's about when I showed up. So it goes.
