Bigger and better
Editor, the Daily Collegian:
1 have been meaning to write this all
semester. I was a student here two and a
half, years ago. 1 used to write a lot of
letters to the Collegian then. One time I
was mad about a bad story. I wrote a letter
that didn't get printed. I had a hard time
getting to talk with the editor, and a few
times there were no people in the office
during the day. I had problems with an ad,
I was pleasantly surprised this January
when I saw the new Collegian. It is bigger,
better, and it looks good.
Last week when I was researching a
paper, the people in your office were nice
and helpful in looking up the articles.
I hope you will print this letter so
students can know how much better you
One of the Gang
Editor, the Daily Collegian
straightened out.
First of all, the Air Guitar review states
that Queen hails from Sequoia Hall. Ac¬
tually only seven of Queen's 13 members
live in Sequoia. The other six are from
Birch and Sycamore, and 1 feel they
deserve just as much recognition.
Second is the excellent photograph cap¬
turing the emotion of Gang Grape being
served its just reward after winning the
rematch with AGR (a battle that never
should have taken place). Once again, the
inference that Gang Grape come entirely
from Sequoia is wrong.
Gang Grape started last year on Sequoia
Hall and was about 10 members strong.
After the voices within the upper echelon
of housing (just who or whom I'm not
sure) tried to tell us who we could or
couldn't participate with, it became ob¬
vious that Gang Grape would have lo be
revived if we were to have any fun.
The story was different this year, how¬
ever, as we grew to about 60 members
from not only Sequoia but also Birch,
Sycamore, and even some former housing
residents now living off campus.
Well, we turned out to be rather suc¬
cessful this year (second in Ihe tug of war
isn't too bad) and I can assure anyone who
cares that wc will be back in full force next
Legal tug-of-war?
Editor, the Daily Collegian:
Vintage Days are over. The Collegian's
coverage of the event included an editorial
over something Dan Whitehurst said and
a picture page. One of the pictures de¬
picted a tug-a-war team finally beating the
illustrious pullers of the Alpha Gamma
Rho fraternity. The caption made AGR
look silly, but the men accepted their
defeat amongst the childish jeers of the
crowd and the flyings of middle fingers.
The truth of the matter is that those that
sneered at the consistent winners of AGR
were the spectacles. Gang Grape won the
match against AGR by cheating. Their
caller repeatedly harassed the pullers of
AGR and was eventually floored by a lit¬
tle sister of the fraternity. During their
caller's mutilation, additional people
pulled for the team of Gang Grape, and
Gang Grape was gloriously victorious.
Congratulations go to the 12 or more
members of the Gang Grape tug-of-war
team. Ignoring the rudeness of the
crowd that wanted to see AGR defeated
after so many years of victory, AGR
demanded and received a rematch. Within
one minute after the blowing of the whis¬
tle, AGR had pulled Gang Grape over the
line. But the judge decided to change the
rule. He alone decided, then and there,
that instead of crossing the line, the rib¬
bon must stay over the line. This must be
part of some rule that says the judge has
the power to change the rules whenever he
or she pleases. Clever rule.
Another rule states that there is a two-
minute time limit. The match obviously
lasted more than two minutes. Did budget
cuts not allow the use of watches? Did no
one know how to count 120 seconds?
Phooey.
Personally, I enjoyed watching Gang
Grape's pleasure as they thought they won
the match. I was proud to be part of an
organization that is so hard to beat. They
yelled, they flipped us off, and they threa¬
tened our little sisters. These are real men.
I had a very good laugh.
But no one beat AGR. let's get the
record straight. AGR triumphed for its
fourth straight victory at Vintage Days.
This has never been done. The team that
does finally beat AGR will be a very
strong team. Let's hope they can handle
ihcmselves with more dignity than did the
monkeys of Gang Grape.
