Monday Update

As some of you may know, we had no house council yesterday because Ms. Corwin is sick. But this week is full of all kinds of events on campus, so I figured I'd post about a few of them.

First, of course, is all the stuff associated with Rally Day. You can find a schedule here, and this page has more detailed info on the various traditions. There is food served at almost every event, though the type of food depends on the time of day. I'm planning to go to the Rally Day history tea on Monday (7pm in Neilson Browsing Room) and the lecture by Sarah Thomas on Tuesday (4:30 in Neilson Browsing Room). I hear the Rally Day show is not to be missed (Tuesday @ 8 in the Carroll Room). Then, on Wednesday, there's the Rally Day convocation, where seniors wear their funky hats, the Rally Day medalists are honored, and this year's commencement speaker is announced (1:30 in JMG).

On Tuesday, the branch libraries (Hillyer, Young, and Josten) will be celebrating Mardi Gras. Young will have tea at 10am, Hillyer will have tea at 2pm, and Josten will have "tango tea" (tea and tango dance instruction) at 4pm. If you go to all three libraries on Tuesday and get a card stamped, you'll be entered to win some kind of prize. I have no clue what the prize is.

On Thursday, there will be a lecture on Virginia Woolf. It is 4:30-6 in Neilson Browsing Room, on the role of feminism in the study of Virginia Woolf. Also on Thursday, at 7 in Neilson Browsing Room, there will be a lecture on William Allen Neilson.

Shameless self-promotion: There will be a Quiz Bowl general interest meeting on Thursday, 7pm, in Seelye 204! It will be fun! There might be food?

That's all I know about. Email me if you know of any events I should add.

Have a great week!
