Dorky News

Paul Mann will be heading up the soon-to-be decimated English Department at Pomona... get ready for curmudgeonly antics.

  • Cris Miller, Paul Saint-Amour, Arden Reed, Val Thomas, Martha Andresen: all are going to be gone for at least the first semester.

police cars near ITS?

What's up with the 3 police cars, 1 fire truck, DQ, Ric Townes, and assorted other serious-looking people hanging out in the parking lot by ITS at 1:20 on Friday? Could it be...an incident?

who has the best stuff on the network?

I know about gandalf; who else?

  • megaman
  • mario
  • elm
  • downstairs
  • gimli

maybe we could break this down further with kinds of music, tv shows, movies, and what not? these don't seem like the type of guys who'd share lindzey lohan movies or the o.c.

Great idea! Why don't you get right on that?

ummm, maybe I'm dumb but I can't find any of them. how does one go about this?

  • If you're using a Windows-based machine, go to Start, then Run, and type \\\\gandalf or whatever into the box. If you're on a Mac, good luck.
  • On a Mac, go to the Finder, hit apple-K then type in smb://gandalf or smb://elm or whatever.

vampires on campus??!

two days ago, thousands of dollars of books/journals were stolen from the Science Library. and then yesterday some vampire wrote "SHITBLOOD" (or maybe "SHIT BLOOD" -- sources are unclear) on the library in fake blood & they had to call a hazmat team to come clean it up. you can still kinda see... it's on 7th street, on the way to ITS
Also on the corner or sixth and College Way (I think?--the closed one) the vampire wrote "OSS" in big (fake) bloody letters. Anyone speak vampire?

Library Perv

There is a library pervert (in addition to Mr. Tiu). He is about 35-40, dark hair, tall, tawny... beware, he "reads" or "works on the computer" while stalking girls. I seen it twice.

Pogoss NOT to appear in TSL article

TSL was going to write an articcle about everyone's favorite gossip wiki, but they decided that they didn't want to advertise the existence of Pogoss. Cowardly or principled?

we wouldn't want a whole buncha tsl readers overrunning the place, putting their feet up on the furniture & eating all the good parts of the Chex Mix anyways

Digester Gems

Tired of dancing to songs that degrade and stereotype? Looking for a beat that doesn't make you feel bad about yourself?

Come to the Women's Union Saturday from 9pm-12am

FEMUSIC DANCE PARTY!!

great songs, dancing, food, and fun!

Get down with social justice.


...and...

Got any good yo mama jokes? Wanna show 'em off while giving to a good cause? Come to YO MAMA for KATRINA RELIEF.


THIS IS NEITHER THE TIME NOR PLACE FOR THIS SORT OF ADVERTISING. STOP IT.

I don't think this is supposed to be advertising -- I think whoever posted this was poking fun at these ridiculous digester message. I mean, "Get down with social justice?" How stereotypical does the WU have to be?

yeah, duh. i don't think dwyer posts to this page.
ooooooooooooooooo...Snap!

Tony T?

Last semester I kept running into Tony T. at the library, even though he graduated (after however many years) last spring. Today I saw him in front of Smiley heading towards Smith. What is he still doing here? Grad school or something? Or is he just hanging out (creepily) on the campus for no reason? After 7 years, you'd think he'd want to move on...

prob trying to get hired as campus photographer

prob trying to foment racial tension on campus

wait I thought he had a watson? isn't he supposed to be BANNED FROM AMERICA for a year?? someone call mr. watson!!

except if you call mr. watson, he will ban pomona college from the watson forever! that's what happened to cmc.

Pretty sure Tony T received the Watson for '04-'05, which means he would have returned to the US less than a year ago. I could be wrong, though.

Ryan P to Become Deep Sea Fisherman?

Supposedly he's going to earn money over the summer doing the fishing thing to move back to Claremont to be near his 1st year scripps gf...

CONFIRMED. At least the fisherman part.

What?!? I'll believe THAT when I see it.

Jordan F is maybe staying w/ GF after graduation


???

ha! i'll believe it when i see it!

Commencement Speaker

Who is this so-called Eileen Wilson-Oyelaran? President of Kalamazoo College? That's our commencement speaker? Hmmm... How unimpressive.

(She's the most prominent Pomona alum that they could get. Pomona only wants commencement speakers who will come for free. They've already used up the alums that anyone has heard of in the past few years [Bill Keller, Louis Menand], and nobody's famous relative would step up to the plate. Hopefully, the speeches won't all take a long time.)

I'd rather have no speaker than Kalamazoo ole-yeller.

What a stupid policy. Seems like they should take some of that $1.3 billion they've managed to accumulate and pop for a half-way decent speaker. Shouldn't they be trying to make one last good impression before we become alumni [potential donors]?


I asked Oxtoby about this-- he said they were trying to get Mia Hamm forever and then she backed out kind of last-minute so they got this one. Not that Mia Hamm would all that Pomona anyway. At least get the one who stripped on camera after making the goal. Yeah, this speaker sucks. One of my siblings decided not to come to graduation because of the dud speaker

Did Mia Hamm go here? I guess I could check that out on wikipedia...
Mia Hamm would have been so inspirational; I am so bummed out. I would have felt so honored and so inspired.

Hamm went to UNC-Chapel Hill. Only tangible Hamm-Pomona connection is this article: [1].


You realize that it's not just alums, but anyone that has a connection to the school or is otherwise willing to come for free, right? Recall the speaker from two years ago: Walter Cronkite. He did not go to Pomona, but his grandson did (and was graduating that year). Honestly, there's no excuse for not finding a more impressive speaker other than general incompetence and/or apathy on the part of the search committee.

Did you even read the paranthetical portion of this section? Because it says pretty much the EXACT SAME FUCKING THING.

DQ

Just a quick shout out to Dean Quinley as she reads this

POGOSS!!


Hey everyone, lets try and be a little more organized about posting. Before your section, add "==", followed by a title and ending with "==". Then, on the next line, add whatever gossip you want. Thanks.



a quick justification

lori desrochers or however you spell it is in the process of making a pomona college WIKI but because it will probably be very official and progressive and informational and dumb, this website is here to subvert it before it is even BORN.


DQ knows!!!

This just in: Inside sources have confirmed that DQ knows about the wiki. Just a heads up to all you wiki editors out there.

==Breaking News== Everyone's favorite CampSec Officer, Braided Ponytail, has been photographed in the buff for an "art project" on "japanese bondage porn."


Another Dean Cover-up

Earlier this semester, at least two girls were sexually assaulted over one weekend in the bathrooms near Edmunds ballroom. The perpetrators were drunk. One girl told the Pomona deans about it but, once again, the deans requested that she not only not press charges, but keep the incident on the DL. Not only is it scary that the deans would react his way, but the fact that the Pomona community is kept in the dark about the fact that such assaults even happen is outrageous. After all, who still has his/her rape whistle? Despite the fantastic acting in "Drawing the Shades," lessons can only be learned when the community is aware of the real dangers.

> What can be done about this? >>alert the pomona community when this happens--most students can't even imagine assaults happening on campus

special post-grad pogoss newz update

alison rapoport dating ji chong
that's all.

so does her ex know he's gay yet?
he's not gay. at least not entirely.
Ji is too good for her. I <3 Ji.


pogoss removed from real wikipedia

UPDATE: the link is back up!

"As a result of recent vandalism, or to stop blocked editors from editing, editing of this page by new or unregistered users is temporarily disabled. Changes can be discussed on the talk page, or you can request unprotection."
^at top of pomona's wikipedia page....
some SQUARE removed pogoss from the real pomona wikipedia page. but whatever, I just put it back. it's like we're in the encyclopedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomona_College --- someone removed it again! ---

The perp has been identified: weak c. needs to stop sabotaging the wiki, deleting our wikipedia entry, and making her facebook profile friends-only. Take a joke.

It's not weak c., it's the person who wrote her facebook profile and now feels guilty and worries that she's going to find it and feel bad that some random people are making fun of her because of her chin. Relatedly, you are all aware that most people haven't seen something this ridiculous since FART middle school, right? And "take a joke" really only works when the person involved is in on the joke. Otherwise, it's just mean.

And it was removed from Wikipedia because it's in no way relevant or useful for anyone who is looking for actual information about Pomona College. (Except maybe on the quality of its students...but they can figure that out for themselves.)

omgeeee, so much controverseeeee. this wiki tells shit about pomona you ain't gonna get in no look book or from any pomona representative. If you don't want to know about it, don't look. But obvs, if a prospective student is intense into Pomona and they wany to know they should. I agree with the person below
|
V
-This wiki is a perfect example of the quality of the students of Pomona College. So STOP TAKING THE LINK OFF WIKIPEDIA

Real Hatecrime

>>>>>POMONA HATE CRIME<<<<< DQ will send out an incident report tomorrow...--134.173.91.23 21:28, 4 April 2006 (PDT)

I seriously hope DQ puts out an email... serious hate crime at pomona... so annoying how little things get blown out of proportion, but actual big things are covered up... If we don't get an "incident email" I will elaborate about the hate crime...

An actual hatecrime with no response... Apparently several gay students were talking loudly outside Smiley over the weekend, when I baseball player yelled out the window "Shut up, fags!" The students yelled back and the baseball player came downstairs and threatened them with a bat. Quinley became involved but apparently wants to "handle this internally" and is not going to send out an email about the incident. That is some serious Pomona hypocrisy: blow all the silly "fags are gay" stuff wildly out of proportion while covering up a serious shit like this...

  • this incident happened weeks ago. Just an FYI.
  • oh good that means we can forget about it... jk I know you only posted the more exact date to be helpful.
  • this is coming before J Board soon. Innocent until proven guilty, right people? Or don't we live in America. -g
  • I don't think anyone's advocating a lynch mob here, but doesn't it strike anyone that a serious incident receives no coverage when stupid stuff is blown out of proportion?
  • you may not be advocating a lynch mob, but some students might. in this case, where there is a specific perp, it makes more sense to allow the established disciplinary system handle punishment, rather than forcing this poor, stupid bastard to be harassed and ostracized by half the campus -g
  • Very true. I'm sure that the major reasons this incident has been hushed up is the fear that activist groups on campus would call for the guy's head. But that's no excuse. As far as I'm concerned, this is Quinley's fault for never, ever standing up to minority pressure groups. She and the other Deans are more than willing to feed into their agenda with the IRT and the campus-wide emails. And now when it becomes apparent that their Frankenstein is dangerous, they're too weak to stand up to it.
  • its not just about these groups calling for the guy's head. they could do worse -- id place money on them doing worse. but yes, the alarmist culture that DQ and the IRT have helped breed should certainly share the blame. -g

20 Juniors deferred

Does anyone know if the rumors that 20 people in the rising junior class were deferred in room draw are true?


^completely true as of now. they might just get roomed at scripps again, or have to find off campus living


awesome lecture title

BEST LECTURE TITLE THIS WEEK or maybe even this semester: WHY PSYCHOTIC HOMELESS WOMEN DON’T SEEM TO WANT OUR HELP


stop taking stuff off the wiki!

People need to stop taking stuff OFF the wiki if it's true -- that goes against wiki rules. Examples:
-some sophomore has his jaw wired shut HA!
-a certain walker friendship-suite denizen whose name is SUSANNAH is hooking up with a freshman named nik

A2 tatoos

Certain high profile Lawry A2 inhabitants (and a certain high profile friend) recently got matching tattoos. To score a peek, catch them in their shortest running shorts and focus where the tanline ends.


lighten up Jean Chavez

Jean Chavez needs to lighten up. Yesterday he told me he was le fuming that people were taking his name in vain. He was shouting and stomping on his beret, saying "Merde! merde merde merde MERDE! I can not beleeeve zeez Americains! Zey are so, how do you say, like zee pigs! Zey are le pig-like!" Listen up, Jean, I know you Frenchies are a stubborn and proud lot, but chill out: you are le popular.


I hate when people take my name in vain..vein...-----
Intravenously?


A. McD. good in bed

Word on the street is: A. McD. is "good in bed."
<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

I heard that, but I barely know who A. McD. is and I don't know what street I'm on


andrew e boning someone

andrew e boned somebody. or he claimed to in an away message

>I believe the "bone" reference is meant to signify one Hesper D...the BONESTER!<

IAN M HAS A HUGE NECK AND CANT WEAR NORMAL SHIRTS CAUSE HIS NECK IS SO FUCKING HUGE

and this news is clearly header worthy, no matter what tree-trunk neck thinks about it
and he also has built-in temperature sensors
and a wicked ra-roar

Harvey Mudd jealous

The other colleges are just jealous because we're popular
i.e.
harvey-I'm antisocial and I embrace it as my personality-mudd won't even let us come to their parties anymore.


stephen l dating stripper

so apparently: a certain stephen l was on a date with a stripper in claremont...who might also be an actress in the adult film industry, begging the question, where and how did they meet?


Mr. Parker + estaff freshman

Uh.. "Mr. Parker" and a certain KSPC estaffer pitzer freshman... totally went home together after the blowout


Ogre + scrippsie

Seen at Smiley 80s: A certain Pomona ogre leaving with a certain Scripps first-year.


deans hatecrime transgendered people

Pomona's deans hate-crime transgendered people and want them to leave campus, but not really

  • DQ fights hard for transgendered students. I saw her work to convince an admin committee to give money for a transgendered speaker>>can't remember the speaker's name

wiki similar to j. fox chatroom

This wiki kinda reminds me of a chat room I was in with a bunch of girls gossiping about jimmy fox and spencer frank when I was in 5th grade. I'm not saying it is bad.

I heard Jimmy Fox has head lice.


Andrew B subscribes to Details magazine

I heard that's where he finds out where to meet hot guys in Rio.

I also heard that he and andrew P are going to rent an apartment together in the Castro

yeah that's so true



Pomona students bored

NEWS FLASH
Pomona students are bored.

Today a TSL staff member, who will remain unnamed, received an envelope from an annonymous person that was straightforwardly addressed to "The Student Life." Inside the envelope was a photocopy of the lastest publication of TSL with a correction of the news heading:

"Housing policy change [cannot]illicits frustration." It must "ELICIT" frustration.


WHO has a job or some other sort of future?

let's make a list so we know who to resent/ask for money:

  • ian m! some sort of consulting, right?

I THOUGHT IAN M WAS GOING TO BE AN INTERIOR DECORATOR

  • Dave S got a huge signing bonus, unlike Ian M.
  • so did chris t. I hate people in good majors, who can actually make money from them.
  • not to mention Ben R
  • I think the aforementioned Monique has a consulting-related future
  • I hear Rachel M has an offer from the Huffington Post
  • Dave S. has committed to 2-years of I-Banking in NYC... No word on Logs yet

I heard that NYU was no longer an option...

OC info

When is OC filming?

*** Why does it matter?


question

does loving pogoss mean that I actually love pomona more than tour guides do, but I choose to show it in a different more alt way? If so, I'm a little embarassed, but also not giving up on pogoss.


newsflassssshh

"duncan" is "seeing more of" "jen"
quotations brought to you straight from the cmc dining hall

and apparently hesper "totally approves" of her

OMG I ACTUALLY KNOW DUNCAN AND JEN! I just met them. I don't know if I approve of either. Why do the only two people I know (of) from CMC pop up on here. Oh, life.

---DUNCAN AND JEN GO TO POMONA------

NO ONE APPROVES OF DUNCAN "NO ONE APPROVES OF DUNCAN"? This one does.

---DUNCAN AND JENN DEF ALSO GO TO CMC!! check out this creepy link http://claremont.facebook.com/profile.php?id=13300005&hiq=duncan p.s. please don't tell me i need to know how html to do this thing. i'll be mad.


another question

Which digester subject title is better?

             Jewish Black Panthers???
(photo courtesy of tein's classy photo album, "Dizzee Support")
                                or
             TONIGHT: Student-Athletes of Color + 21 Choices
(This pic is from OA leader orientation. I found it just by google image searching "21 choices". It was on the first page...)


RATS!!!!!!!!

There are RATS (maybe big mice) living in Walker.

I saw one scramble up a pipe in my room (brazenly, while I was at my desk!) into a hole in the ceiling, and shrieked.
That hole is now taped up, but all you Walker denizens better watch out, especially those living in the friendship suites of the arm on the west side of the middle courtyard.


andrew e. + rollerbladers

i hear that andrew e. is hanging out with the rollerbladers, wtf
I think the initial wtf is understandable, but look into your heart and outside of your comfortzone.
It's all about <3LoVe<3, not hate. Too much hate on this pogoss anyway. But of course I love the hate, but a little love needs to be mixed in sometimes.

aint nothin wrong with hanging out with rollerbladers. >only if you can blade. otherwise, its embarassing. (cite: me)
