Talk:Stephenson Scholarship Hall

Traditions
Does Stephenson still hold a Neanderthal Ball? Is the Christmas Party still a stag affair? Is the Vice President's report still "vice is flourishing"? Does anybody still nominate Stan Pittman as Social Chair? I presume the Buzz Sheet is long gone.

--Stephenson does NOT still hold a Neanderthal ball -- that went out the year or two before I got there (2000). We tried to have the treasurer "embezzle" funds to throw it out of the social budget but with straight-laced types being put in Stephenson by housing and the additional pressures Housing put on us to conform made it more difficult to hold one. The VP's report is not "vice is flourishing" but I think that's brilliant. We did have a buzz sheet but I don't know if they still do that. Who is Stan Pittman? --John Westerhaus (JJeagleHawk)

Terminology
Once upon a time, a new resident in the fall semester was a "New Man". A new resident in the sprint semester was an "New New Man". A returning resident was an "Old Man". A resident who moved out, but was still a student, was an "Old Old Man". Does any of this survive? Is there still a "Hall Munchkin", or designated javelin catcher? I only ask because I broke the string of returning Munchkins when I was summarily ejected after a 1.85 Freshman GPA. Too much potential, not enough effort.

"Newman" and "Oldman" are still common terms. Haven't heard "old-oldman" being used. As for hall munchkin... dunno, was this something like a fall guy? If so, probably not. 70.240.148.103 00:27, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

--When I started there, I was John. . . there was an older John in the hall, so he was Old John and I was New John. . . we had a new jon the next year so he was "Newest New John" and if we had gotten another one that next year we would have called him "newest new john on the mountain". . . alas, it was not to be. --John Westerhaus (JJeagleHawk)

Currently we have three Bens in the hall: Ben, Big Ben, and D-Ben. In addition there is one each of Jon, John, and Jean. -- The guy before you —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.237.88.71 (talk) 05:35, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Love it!
This article is funny, especially the part about the building's structure. Nicely done! --Buglindseybee 03:59, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
