Freshmen, Bloody Freshmen
Saturday, December 8th, 2001 01:36 amFortunately, this is the exception rather than the rule in The Quad. Thank Zarquon I'm not in Sewall.
I was on duty this lovely Friday night. Earlier in the week, some RAs had tipped me that word in the halls was that there was a party planned for Friday in the lounge. They'd been smart enough to reserve the TV lounge, but Michelle and I were planning to drop by about half an hour after it started, figuring they'd be drinking. It didn't make a whole lot of sense, since they know RAs do rounds in the lounge, but whatever.
So as we finished our first round, we encounter the residents talking with an RA and the CA (office clerk) about whether it was okay to have a stripper.
Yeah.
So Allison, our Hall Director Assistant, Michelle, and I talked with them about some rules for this surprise 21st birthday party. We couldn't find anything in the Guide to Residence Hall living that implied this wouldn't be okay. We made sure that they kept it private (so that the whole building didn't come crowding in), that no alcohol was involved, and that it was clean when they left (though there was a trashcan of wet kleenex afterwards...).
We figured they were getting jipped for $140 for an hour and a half, especially since she didn't seem too hot by the glimpse I got as she walked into the lobby and she didn't even bring her own boom box. They also changed about $20 for singles. But hey, it (was) their money.
Had this not happened in an engineering hall, they probably wouldn't have had the sense to tell anyone before hand, so the RAs would have walked in right in the middle of the party, ruining the moment for most involved.
( It gets better but longer. )
