<div>A page like this is a pretty tall order, so I think that if we're going to do this right we should come to some sort of consensus on how to tackle it. What do we want this page to be, and how should we organize it? Is it a set of links to important pages and outside websites? Is it substantial new content about [[The Knox Experience]]? Should it sort of be a student rendition of the [http://deptorg.knox.edu/facdev/guide/ New Faculty Survival Guide]? Do we want to be comprehensive, or do we just want to cover the holes that Orientation leaves? [[User:Camozzi|Camozzi]] 20:13, 30 July 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
Well, I went ahead and took a crack at it. I tried to be fairly thorough, but if you see something I missed, let me know. This is only part of it; I'm still writing the rest, whcih will include information on the staff/administration, Galesburg, eating, picking classes, student government, publications and radio, Campus Safety, Clubs, campus employment, the Honor Board/Conduct Council/Grievance Panel, transportation, and maybe some other things I haven't thought of yet.

<br />
Jesus tittyfuckin' Christ, man, nicely done. [[User:Jlane|Jlane]] 23:06, 1 August 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
Brian, did you write all of that yourself? jeez. well done.--[[User:Afitz|Afitz]] 21:55, 4 August 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
== art ==<br />
<br />
Yeah, everyone (especially Brian, the official king of The Wiki Fire), this page rocks hard. It covers so many vital parts of the Knox experience and summarizes them in a way that captures both the important information and the attitude of the campus.<br />
<br />
What it needs now is art. Maps are the most important thing. However, we may have to resort to hand-drawn maps unless we can find a street map of Galesburg that belongs to the public domain (I'll try my best). Hand-drawn maps are funny, anyway and work just fine. Any other art you can think of would also help this page out immensely. Maybe even something like fancy section heads or something. So, yeah. Good job on this Brian (and everyone else that helped out). Now let's try to get some art going. [[User:Tfooq|Tfooq]] 13:00, 11 August 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
== Breaking it up ==<br />
<br />
So, what do you all think about dividing this guide into several pages? It might be a little long for the Internet, especially once we get art (which we need). What would be the best way to do it? Should we just make each section a new page, and use the main survival guide page as kind of a portal page? Any other ideas? [[User:Tfooq|Tfooq]] 12:43, 14 August 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
== ATP ===<br />
Well, ATP would seem not to want to be branded the female snu. I think that it is reasonable to state that they were originally so, but perhaps not to assert that such strong social ties remain. That leaves a rather scant definition of them though, eh? <br />
Also, I see no real need to break anything up. There's something impressive about such a single large comprehensive page. [[User:Johnlane|Johnlane]] 23:33, 28 August 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
It amuses me to no end how almost every Greek group has taken to primping up their image on this page and elsewhere. Everybody's going to know the dirty secrets anyway.

<div>{|<br />
|Add solutions as you find them. [[The Wiki Fire]] is a community learning experience. If you post what you learn, others can build on that knowledge. Some day, this page should be able to answer nearly any question about Wiki functionality. <br />
<br />
For formatting help, here is the Cheat Page from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Cheatsheet Wikipedia]. I don't know if it all applies to these pages, but most of it should.<br />
<br />
You can also download this [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Wiki-refcard.pdf one-page Wiki Reference Card (PDF)] and print it out. Keep it by your computer.<br />
| width="250px" |<br />
{{Policies}}<br />
|} <br />
== Creating a page ==<br />
<br />
Search [[The Wiki Fire]] for an article. If that article does not exist, the site will ask you if you would like to create it. Do it! The more people use this Web site, the more usefulit will become.<br />
<br />
If you just have a couple of things to say, go ahead and write them as clearly as you can. If you have a lot to say, you might want to organize them into categories--check out the table of contents subheading.<br />
<br />
===Plurals===<br />
<br />
If you have a plural noun, like "First-years" or "Classes," the page for it should be under the singular of the noun, so: "First-year;" "Class." It wouldn't be a bad idea to have a redirect page at the plural though. (See below.)<br />
<br />
=== Capitalization ===<br />
<br />
THE WIKI FIRE AUTOMATICALLY CAPITALIZES THE FIRST LETTER OF ANY ARTICLE. AUTOMATICALLY. KNOW THIS.<br />
<br />
If you're writing about a proper noun--a club, a building, a person, a department--please use title case for the aticle title. Lets say you're editing the article for CFA. You can make sure you're using the right case by looking at the URL of the page you're at. It should go something like this: <br />
<br />
http://www.thewikifire.org/index.php?title=Ford_Center_for_the_Fine_Arts&action=edit<br />
<br />
Note that most of the words are capitalized, but little words, like "for" and "the", aren't.<br />
<br />
If you spot a problem, just change it and hit enter. The page will reload and you'll edit the properly capitalized page.<br />
<br />
If you're dealing with something that people might have trouble capitalizing, or might be looking for under another title, check out the section on redirects.<br />
<br />
If a page is already located under an incorrect capitalization (see "capitalization" under "creating pages"), skip on to the "move" section.<br />
<br />
== Editing a page ==<br />
<br />
To edit an article, click the edit tab and start making changes and/or adding information. To help site [[editors]] and other interested users, add a brief description of your changes to the "Summary" bar directly above the "Save page" button. <br />
<br />
Make sure you use the "Show preview" button to make sure your changes all worked before saving the page. This will help keep the page change history clean and easy to follow. However, if you make a mistake, no worries. Everybody has to learn somehow.<br />
<br />
[[The Wiki Fire]] is your playground and a useful tool. Please experiment.<br />
<br />
=== Creating a table of contents on a page ===<br />
The table of contents will be automatically created once there are four or more sections on the page. A section is created by using the "=" character as follows:<br />
#<nowiki> == headline == will create a main section</nowiki>.<br />
#<nowiki> === subheadline == will create a subsection</nowiki>.<br />
#<nowiki> ==== sub-subheadline === will create a subsection within that subsection</nowiki>.<br />
For an example, click edit on this page and see how the different sections were created.<br />
<br />
=== Creating links ===<br />
There are two kinds of links in [[The Wiki Fire]], internal links and external links. A wiki depends on tagging as many internal links as possible, so this is important.<br />
<br />
To create an internal link, put the word you would like to link in brackets as follows.<br><br />
'''Type:''' <nowiki>[[The Wiki Fire]]</nowiki><br><br />
'''Get:''' [[The Wiki Fire]]<br />
<br />
To create an external link, put the entire URL, including the <nowiki>http://</nowiki> into one set of brackets. This style can also be used for citing sources.<br><br />
'''Type:''' <nowiki>[http://www.bigmuddyrecords.org/ Big Muddy Records]</nowiki><br><br />
'''Get:''' [http://www.bigmuddyrecords.org/ Big Muddy Records]<br />
<br />
'''Type:''' There are five bands on this label.<nowiki>[http://www.bigmuddyrecords.org/]</nowiki><br><br />
'''Get:''' There are five bands on this label.[http://www.bigmuddyrecords.org/]<br />
<br />
There are also buttons above the editing window you can use if you forget how to link.<br />
<br />
===Creating a redirect page ===<br />
<br />
Lets say you're working on the page for CFA. The official title of the page is Ford Center for the Fine Arts, but nobody's going to go looking for that. They're going to type in "CFA" and expect to find the page.<br />
<br />
But we don't want two articles in two different places, do we. that would be a mess. This is what redirects were created for.<br />
<br />
What you would do is edit the CFA page, and then type in<br />
<br />
<nowiki>#REDIRECT[[Ford Center for the Fine Arts]]</nowiki><br />
<br />
and then save the page.<br />
<br />
This also works for capitalizations. For example, some people might go looking for the "Ford Center '''F'''or '''T'''he Fine Arts". It would be good to have that page redirect to "Ford Center for the Fine Arts", too.<br />
<br />
If a page is already located under an incorrect capitalization (see "capitalization" under "creating pages"), skip on to the "move" section.<br />
<br />
=== Move Pages ===<br />
<br />
Every published page has a "move" button. Use it with caution--only if a page really is in the wrong place. Maybe it has the wrong capitalization, maybe it's named "classes" when it should be named "class".<br />
<br />
The moving process is really pretty self-explanatory: you just type in a new title for the page. The old page is replaced with a redirect to the new one. (handy!)<br />
<br />
=== Creating a small table (meeting times) ===<br />
This table is perfect for bits of information like meeting times, but will not really work for large chunks of text or images. If you find more uses, be sure to write them here.<br />
<br />
'''Type:'''<br />
<br />
<nowiki><properties></nowiki><br />
<br />
<nowiki>Day=Mondays</nowiki><br />
<br />
<nowiki>Time=8 p.m.</nowiki><br />
<br />
<nowiki>Place=[[The Human Rights Center]]</nowiki><br />
<br />
<nowiki></properties></nowiki><br />
<br />
'''Get:'''<br />
<br />
<properties><br />
Day=Mondays<br />
Time=8 p.m.<br />
Place=[[The Human Rights Center]]<br />
</properties><br />
<br />
===Creating a larger table===<br />
For more complex information, use this table. A number of examples can be found on the [[List of Current and Former Student Senators]] page.<br />

==Uploading/using images==<br />
<br />
Images are great additions to Wiki Fire pages. They add interesting visual information to pages and are encouraged for people to use. If you would like to use an image you must first upload it on the upload file page. Simply press the choose file button and select the file you would like to upload to Wiki Fire. Wiki Fire uses the same file name as the image, so if you want to change it you can do so in the Destination: Filename section. Keep in mind that there may be more than one file with the same name. If that is the case, you will have to choose another name before you can upload the file, In the summary section, please write where you got the image and especially it's copyright status. <br />
<br />
Most images taken from Web sites are copyrighted and therefore should not be used. If an image is without a copyright explanation can and will be deleted by the Web site administrators. Images created by yourself can be used. Please note if you want the use of your image to be only on Wiki Fire. Preferably, you would release it as a Creative Commons image and let people use the image in any capacity they choose. Just let readers know via the summary what you want to do.<br />
<br />
After the image is uploaded, you will be taken to an image page, which is basically the location of the image on Wiki Fire (it's the same name you gave the file when you uploaded it). To use it on a Wiki Fire page you will need to go to edit and write '''<nowiki>[[Image:{name}}]]</nowiki>''' on the site, which will link to the image page. Where you put the link will determine the location of the picture on the page. You can also manipulate the look and location of the image through a couple of additions to the image link, including changes to the size(by increasing the pixel count of the image), location (right/left/or centered on the page), making the image a thumbnail of a larger image, and the additions of captions(which can contain links to other pages, citations or other info). To do this you simply add the | symbol after the image link. The order in which you do this does not matter, as long as the image link comes first. Ex. '''<nowiki>[[Image:{name}|{type}|{location}|{size}|{caption}]]</nowiki>''' For an actual picture of how this looks, here is a visual example:<br />
[[Image:5th Lincoln Douglas debate Knox College.jpg|thumbnail|200px|center|A sketch of the Lincoln-Douglas debates at [[Knox College]]]]<br />
<br />
You can use the same process to upload other types of files such as sound of music (which should be only for appropriate pages).<br />
Get started!<br />
<br />
== Fun features ==<br />
=== Google Maps usage ===<br />
Click on the "make a map" link on any edit page and use the interface to find the spot you want. The page will load with the map preset to that location.<br />
<br />
=== YouTube integration ===<br />
<br />
You can embed any video on YouTube into this wiki. Here's how you do it.<br />
<br />
# Find a video on YouTube and copy down its YouTube ID. This can be found in the address bar. and looks something like ii8wMv3k1XQ.<br />
# Go to the spot on the page you would like to add the embedded video to and type <nowiki>"<youtube v="ii8wMv3k1XQ" />"</nowiki>, replacing the ii8wMv3k1XQ with the YouTube ID you found.<br />
<br />
For an example in working, visit the [[Galesburg Backyard Wrestling]] page. Click edit if you would like to see how the video was placed.</div>CFG21http://thewikifire.org/index.php?title=The_Wiki_Fire&diff=30945The Wiki Fire2017-07-20T04:02:43Z<p>CFG21: Undo revision 30916 by 37.35.148.60 (talk)</p>

<br />
Tom - I think you might want to consider changing the "Jesus Fucking Christ" heading on Sue Hulett's page to "Jesus F. Christ" or "Jesus F**king Christ" or something along those lines. I thought the TKS headline was totally fine and I'm not a huge Hulett fan, but having a phrase that she objects to as the largest item on her page seems unnecessarily antagonistic; it seems unwise bringing the wrath of Hulett down on the wikifire if it can be avoided.<br />

<br />
== Upcoming events ==<br />
<br />
Was there something wrong with putting an upcoming events table on the front page? You deleted it without comment, so I'm not sure what the objection was. /[[User:Blahedo|blahedo]] ([[User talk:Blahedo|t]]) 17:45, 12 May 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
:Three columns is definitely not going to work; it's just too busy. What do you want the front page to be? I'm thinking that a lot of that stuff will be primarily of interest to people who've never wikied before (or perhaps just new to TWF), and they could be well-served with a prominent link "New to TheWikiFire? Click here!". That leaves more room for changing content (events, votes) and the useful links section.<br />
<br />
:I'll come back to this after the Terp show and maybe play with it then. /[[User:Blahedo|blahedo]] ([[User talk:Blahedo|t]]) 18:45, 12 May 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
== People policy ==<br />
<br />
I like it. You should consider putting a link to Don Blaheda's useful page (http://thewikifire.org/index.php?title=User:Blahedo/Policy_on_people) near the libel section. <small>(The previous unsigned comment was posted 20:28, 13 May 2007 by [[User:Ocarina]].)</small><br />
<br />
:I was hoping to edit it, or at least get some comments on it, ''before'' it went live. If you like it (and this is a pretty general "you" here, I just don't want to be all unilateral about it), it should be moved out of my sandbox to [[Policy on people]] before being linked from elsewhere. /[[User:Blahedo|blahedo]] ([[User talk:Blahedo|t]]) 02:39, 14 May 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
::Yup, looks good to me. /[[User:Blahedo|blahedo]] ([[User talk:Blahedo|t]]) 02:49, 14 May 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
:Actually, just looked at all the policy pages, and ''I'' feel better that all that is in place, even if it will evolve over time. On the About page, though, A) do you really want to state your TKS affiliation in an official capacity?, and B) you should probably link your User:-space page rather than the TWF article about you. /[[User:Blahedo|blahedo]] ([[User talk:Blahedo|t]]) 02:57, 14 May 2007 (CDT)<br />

== Templates ==<br />
<br />
How do I find out what templates are available on WikiFire? I tried to use a propose merge template, but it didn't work, and I noticed that for disambiguation I needed to use "disambig" instead of the full word. Is there a list somewhere on the site? [[User:GreatHeights|GreatHeights]] 14:46, 16 May 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
Hey man, I saw you made a deletion template. Awesome. Where can I go to learn how to make templates? It seems like its a combination of HTML and some markup I'm not familier with. I'd like to play around with it. [[User:GreatHeights|GreatHeights]] 12:10, 12 June 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
:Ha! Yeah, I guess that'd be the place to look wouldn't it. Isn't there a specific Wiki that's kind of a "how to Wiki" Wiki? [[User:GreatHeights|GreatHeights]] 12:22, 12 June 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
== Deletions ==<br />

So, I've been poking around on WikiMedia, learning more about Wikis in general. It seemed like the whole Fag/Faggot page issue would be a good test case to sort out TheWikiFire's conventions for deletion--ie What kind of pages can be deleted without discussion, how long discussion should be allowed to procede before action is taken, etc. [[User:GreatHeights|GreatHeights]] 15:12, 17 May 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
Sounds good to me. Do we want to use Wikipedia's guidelines for how long to allow discussion on a page proposed for deletion as a starting point? Or do we just want to start from scratch? BTW, I'm working on getting up some templates for things like proposing deletion, merger, etc. [[User:GreatHeights|GreatHeights]] 15:20, 17 May 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
Also, are you thinking that, regarding the specific pages in question that we should go ahead and delete them without discussion? I'm personally not opposed to that. I just wanted to make sure that some sort of discussion regarding deletion got started. [[User:GreatHeights|GreatHeights]] 15:21, 17 May 2007 (CDT)<br />

It's o.k. ...really. This is in no way libelous. It is a useful graphic illustration of the contraversy. Wiki fire should not be in the buisness of deciding what is and is not 'suitable' . More precisely, *you* should not be in that buisness. This is a democratic space -- at the very least, give some time and discussion before making hegemonic decisions. Or, better, we can just let the fucking FCC make the decisions for us.<br />

Nope. Pull it out slowly, though or it will burst and spread its eggs everywhere.<br />
<br />

<br />
I moved the risks to the top, but other than that it seems ok (I didn't proof it closely, though). If the demand for the service gets strong enough, then we'll have to tell the computer center to provide more processor power, eh? (Leibniz is actually the server for math and CS, and not administered by the folks in the computer center—did you think they'd administer a Linux system?) /[[User:Blahedo|blahedo]] ([[User talk:Blahedo|t]]) 22:14, 26 May 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
:Heh. Well, I suspect that usage will continue to be CS and math folks plus a few others like yourself, in which case, no problem. But if it ''does'' extend to a huge chunk of the student population, then we have prima facie evidence that there is high demand for this service—and can then push for a dedicated server for that sort of thing. I wouldn't worry about it too much, certainly not to the extent of hiding the instructions for it. Information wants to be free!, or so I'm told. /[[User:Blahedo|blahedo]] ([[User talk:Blahedo|t]]) 13:27, 27 May 2007 (CDT)<br />

== Moving articles to other/new categories ==<br />
<br />
The layout of the site is still a bit confusing to me; unfortunately I have a rather poor grasp of editing with Wikipedia. I am interested in putting Japanese Club under Categories > Clubs (since it is not currently listed there). Are users allowed to move their topics into categories, or is that under the control of the editor? If I can't do it myself, should I just message the editor every time I need an article moved?

<div>[[Image:Main-Street-1.jpg|thumb|Main Street looking east from Cherry Street]]<br />
'''Main Street''' is a street in [[Galesburg]]. It runs east-west, and marks the zero line on the north-south address axis.<br />
<br />
The street runs from its western end at South Pickard Road (where it turns into State Highway 164) to its eastern end at State Street (County Road 9) in [[East Galesburg]].<br />
<br />
West of [[Broad Street]] it is called West Main Street, and east of Broad Street it is called East Main Street.<br />
<br />
==Features==<br />
Main Street runs the entire length of Galesburg. The [[Public Square]] roundabout is at its intersection with Broad Street. Main Street has an intersection with [[Interstate 74]] near its eastern end and with [[Highway 34]] near its western end.<br />
<br />
Destinations along Main in downtown Galesburg are numerous. Bars on the street include [[La Mesa]] and [[Big John’s Silver Dollar Saloon]] at [[West Street|West]] and Main, [[Billiards on Main]] at [[Prairie Street|Prairie]] and Main, and [[Crappy’s]] just east of [[Seminary Street]]. Popular restaurants along Main include [[Joy Garden]] between [[Kellogg Street]] and [[Prairie Street]] and [[The Broadview]] attached to the [[America’s Best Value Inn]] on the Public Square. Other services include [[Dollar General]], the [[UPS Store]] at Main and [[Seminary Street|Seminary]], the [[One Stop Smoker’s Shop]] between Kellogg and Seminary, and the America’s Best Value Inn on the Public Square, which is a popular hotel for Knox visitors. There are several antique shops on Main, most notably the [[Antique Mall]] between Kellogg and Seminary. [[Jalisco's]] and a combination [[Hy-Vee]] and [[Hy-Vee Wine and Spirits]] are located near the I-74 interchange.<br />
<br />
==Main Street in Contemporary Discourse==<br />
Main Street is good. Wall Street is bad. What happens on one has absolutely no relationship to the well-being of the other.<br />

<div>The daily newspaper of Galesburg, IL.<ref>[http://www.galesburg.com/ The Register-Mail] the daily newspaper of Galesburg, IL.</ref> [[Tom Martin]], the paper's editor-in-chief, teaches a class at Knox every year, and publishes the best of his students' work in the Register-Mail so they can use the articles for clips when they're trying to find jobs or internships.<br />
<br />
==Buyout==<br />
The Register-Mail, formerly owned by Copley, was purchased by [[GateHouse Media, Inc.]], the company that owns [[The Paper]] and the Peoria Journal-Star, April 11, 2007. This is a strong blow to Galesburg free media, as GateHouse has a strong history of gutting paper staffs and overworking their printing presses. It also removes what competition there might have been between The Paper and the Register-Mail.<br />
<br />
===Publisher steps down===<br />
Don Cooper has stepped down as publisher of ''The Register-Mail'', reportedly surprising staff with the announcement.<br />
<br />
==New Web site==<br />
They have a snazzy new Web site, but for some reason they moved to [http://www.galesburg.com Galesburg.com]. Register-Mail.com was a great domain name. I mean, who uses hyphens in a URL? That was awesome.<br />
<br />
The new Web site is easier on the eyes, and they are going to focus more on multimedia, especially video.<br />
<br />
===Archive===<br />
The new site seems to have lost the online archive that they had going. This will make citations on [[The Wiki Fire]] difficult until they get it back up.<br />

==Mood==<br />
<br />
*I guess the most imporant question for me at this point is, should The WikiFire aim to be encyclopedic like Wikipedia is? On Wikipedia subjective statements are fair game to be removed, but at least one editor on WikiFire has indicated that opinions are fine, and that the subjectivity of information is not ground for it to be disincluded. I'll add something to the "Mood" section, but just as a starting point. I hope other people will help work out an answer to this question.<br />
<br />
<br />
*I feel like subjectivity is one of the elements of this site that will have to somehow be judged on a case-by-case basis. This site does not have the same goal that Wikipedia has, I don't think. The truth is as the heart of the site, but "truth" here means "true" student opinion. I feel like the site should be an accurate portrayal of how students define their school and community. So we are not creating an encyclopedia the way Wikipedia is, we are creating an encyclopedia of student emotion and sentiment. But that is just how I see it. If others would like to see it go a different way, it can and should be up for debate. Please, let's get more voices on this. — [[User:Tfooq|Tfooq]] 04:19, 9 May 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
<br />
*Even wikipedia allows opinion in a form, it's possible to express opinion and stay objective. If the page details popular positions held by the student body / staff, and the author makes an attempt to record '''all''' those positions we go from a biased article to a thorough article. I think it's when an article only expresses one opinion that the truth gets skewed. — [[User:Mattbaker|Mattbaker]] 10:13, 9 May 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
*I agree with Tom on the case-by-case thing. As far as I've seen, though, articles have been monitoring themselves pretty well--someone will say a one-sided thing, and someone else will add the other side. Having biased opinions is okay as long as we have a variety of biased opinions, I figure. -deana<br />
<br />
== Policy on people ==<br />
<br />
I just have this nagging feeling that TWF needs to pre-emptively have more of a policy with respect to pages and statements about specific people. I sandboxed a draft of such a policy at [[User:Blahedo/Policy on people]]; please edit and comment. (Note also that this policy really ought to apply even to people not specifically "members of our community"....) /[[User:Blahedo|blahedo]] ([[User talk:Blahedo|t]]) 21:27, 12 May 2007 (CDT)<br />

<br />
* We should make available the Creative Commons license that prevents the use of the materials for commercial purposes. This will encourage people (I'm thinking photographers) to contribute without fear that anyway can just take anything and make money off of it.-afitz<br />
* The reason I made it completely free is so publications, which are commercial, will be able to use the information. I feel like free information should mean free information. A photographer's incentive, therefore, could be recognition. There is no rule against putting a credit to the photographer in the caption, or, let's say, a link to his/her photo Web site.-tfooq<br />
* Well of course free information is free information, as it is free information by definition no doubt. It just seems that we run the risk of limiting content when we don't allow people to say "Hey, I'm sharing this with all of you, you just can't sell it or make money off it." While the probability that someone looking for stock art or something runs across a Wiki image and takes it and uses it is fairly low, it would make me feel better (if nothing else) if I had the option to say "Hey, you can use this for personal use, but you can't use it commercially." I would certainly contribute more if this were the case. People are still going to use the images whether or not it's legal, I guess the point is if someone ''really'' uses an image, then legally I would be protected and I could make them stop using it. I'd rather put up my own stuff and make it high quality rather than someone swiping it from somewhere, putting up a low quality image, and then attributing it to someone else (which has already happened on here.) Just my thoughts. Oh, and most photographers consider name recognition on things like this to be pretty worthless.-afitz<br />
*This is a good conceptual and theoretical debate. It cuts to the core of the free information movement. We should get more thoughts on this.[[User:Tfooq|Tfooq]] 02:51, 14 May 2007 (CDT)<br />

==Deleting pages==<br />
<br />
So, I've been poking around on WikiMedia, learning more about Wikis in general. It seemed like the whole Fag/Faggot page issue would be a good test case to sort out TheWikiFire's conventions for deletion--ie What kind of pages can be deleted without discussion, how long discussion should be allowed to procede before action is taken, etc. [[User:GreatHeights|GreatHeights]] 15:12, 17 May 2007 (CDT) - moved here from Tfooq's user talk page<br />
<br />
I agree. There are some pages that could hardly have a place. I would say that they might some day be able to have a place if it so,e how came up in campus conversations and debate (see "Jesus Fucking Christ"), but as it is now, it is just mean. Does that sound reasonable? We should add a section to the code of ethics.[[User:Tfooq|Tfooq]] 15:16, 17 May 2007 (CDT) - moved here from GreatHeights's user talk<br />
<br />
Sounds good to me. Do we want to use Wikipedia's guidelines for how long to allow discussion on a page proposed for deletion as a starting point? Or do we just want to start from scratch? BTW, I'm working on getting up some templates for things like proposing deletion, merger, etc. [[User:GreatHeights|GreatHeights]] 15:20, 17 May 2007 (CDT) - moved here from Tfooq's user talk page<br />

<br />
I don't know who I was responding to either, since they didn't sign their comment. I have a tendency to want to "clean up" and organize, and that's why I was deleting some of the superflous pages and redirects. After someone questioned it though, I stopped to think about it, and realized that, like you said, there was really no harm being caused by those pages and no need to delete them. It also prompted my interest in establishing some guildines for deleting pages on TheWikiFire. [[User:GreatHeights|GreatHeights]] 15:58, 17 May 2007 (CDT) - moved here from Blahedo's user talk<br />
<br />

=="Obscene" images==<br />
The issue of typically-considered "obscene" images was bound to come up, so we should have a conversation about it now so we can come up with a guideline of some kind. It somewhat started with the lemonparty image, but has been brought into the realm of potential legitimacy on the [[Jesus Fucking Christ]] article. A user has uploaded an obscene cartoon, and I deleted it because A: It was probably copyrighted and B: it did not bring much to the Knox discussion table. However, that user then brought a counter-argument that I thought was valid enough to bring to the table. The idea that being offensive, or maybe not, is at the heart of this campus-wide debate. And I should not be the decision-maker. I will copy [[User:Mantique]]'s couter-argument below. Please lend any thoughts to the matter.[[User:Tfooq|Tfooq]] 21:23, 24 May 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
It's o.k. ...really. This is in no way libelous. It is a useful graphic illustration of the contraversy. Wiki fire should not be in the buisness of deciding what is and is not 'suitable' . More precisely, *you* should not be in that buisness. This is a democratic space -- at the very least, give some time and discussion before making hegemonic decisions. Or, better, we can just let the fucking FCC make the decisions for us. [[User:Mantique]]<br />
<br />
I think in general, this is another area that's going to have to be a case by case judgement call. I agree that in most cases, we should make use of the Talk pages and to leave it open for discussion before something is removed. But in the end, ''someone'' has to make a decision. And in some cases, though maybe not this one, it may be so obvious that discussion isn't warranted. [[User:GreatHeights|GreatHeights]] 08:58, 25 May 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
Ok, well, now I've seen the cartoon, and...come on. I don't see how this is in any way a "useful" graphic representation of the controversy. A useful graphic representation would be a picture of the cover of the Flunk Day TKS. This is just a dirty cartoon that has nothing to do with the actual issue. And I'm sorry, but I have to question the sincerety of anyone claiming that said cartoon is useful or needed. It serves no purpose other than to fan the flames of controversy. I also think at some point we can use our common sense to know that a pornographic cartoon of a religious figure is patently offensive (I would venture to say that was the intent of the cartoonist, unless you can explain to me some subtext that I'm missing). I still stand by my above comments about generally letting a discussion ensure before removing questionable things. But I disagree with the idea that the editors should 'never' use their judgement to decide if something is "suitable". Tom, I think you made the right call in this case. Sorry this is so verbose. [[User:GreatHeights|GreatHeights]] 09:20, 25 May 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
Well, I think it brings up an interesting decision that we need to work out. Sure, I agree that this image does not bring anything to the table (and it's probably copyrighted), but who should govern what is and is not appropriate? I think we definitely need to define this. I will do some research on what other sites are doing and bring some idea. Everyone else should, too, because this issue is not going to go away.[[User:Tfooq|Tfooq]] 19:15, 25 May 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
Well, I think it is appropriate to ban pornographic images. I realize that the definition of pornography is a bit subjective, but I think at the very least images of people engaged in sex acts is a good line to draw, including cartoons. I mean, I'm not prude here, I'm not even a Christian, but that image offended me if only because its only possible purpose is to offend. [[User:GreatHeights|GreatHeights]] 14:41, 26 May 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
Let us not take ourselves too serously here. Why draw an arbitrary line at people engaged in sex acts? I mean, why not go a bit further and ban the discussion of sex acts or using dirty words? "Offensiveness" or "obscenity" is far too subjective a realm to really have much use in a democratic space. Lible is one thing( as is copyright). It is a legal convention which can be clearly defined without getting into too much grey territory. And further, it (libel) can genuinely damage the reputation...or whatever...of a person. Something deemed simply 'offensive' is entirely abstract. To be honest, I don't give two fucks one way or another--I just don't want to write a paper right now-- It is a silly cartoon which I found to be amusing and used inorder to illustrate the contraversy. That is, by adopting a Hullet-esq reactionary stance, you, mr. great heights, are participating in said illustration. "Fanning flames of contraversy" is a useful action. <br />
Wikipedia is perhaps the best thing that the interent has going for it. It is a free and egallitarian manner of distributing information.This site, however, is not Wikipedia and should not try to be. If we opporated by the rules governing Wikipedia, this site would in no way give an accurate representation of Knox College. If we got all bent out of shape every time some lumpen did something we didn't argee with and told said lumpen that he or she couldn't do whatever they were doing, then this would not be a very fun or creative place. A case in point: when the army recruiters came last fall, we didn't tell them to leave. Myself and a few friends simply set up a "Start up the Draft" table next to them and kept as straight a face as possible. Some students understood our satyrical action; some didn't (those who didn't were generally squares who took themselves too seriously). The recruiters seemed uncomfortable and have yet to return. Wikipedia is in some respects a useful model (see the entery on the Armenian Genocide), but attempting to make this page a dry, objective encyclopedia (as great hieghts seems to advocate) with pseudo-victorian standards of decency and modesty will undermine its potential. ...ok...I'll shut up now. I should really get to that paper. Talk is cheap.<br />
<br />
<br />
Ok, first of all, I don't think my response was reactionary, nor am I advocating any "psuedo-victorian" standards of decency. I was simply obliging [[user:Tfooq|Tfooq]] and offering my opinion on the issue at hand. While fanning flames of controversy may be a useful action, I don't think it was in this case. My impression from everything I've read and heard about the situation is that the controversy had been quite adequately fanned, and I simply didn't think that the cartoon added anything whatsoever to the discussion of the TKS article. It only served to potentially reignite tensions that were being dealt with on campus. For the most part, as I noted above, I think potentially offensive material should be left for discussion until some sort of consensus can be reached. However, we don't leave every text edit up for discussion when it doesn't seem to add anything useful, so why do we have to do that for a graphic? So far, you are the only person who seems to think that this edit was inappropriate. [[User:GreatHeights|GreatHeights]] 15:50, 28 May 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
<br />
I think this discussion is perfect. What does the site want to be? It should be fun. It should push people. It should challenge conventions. I get very sick of "obscene" things getting edited. I want the full story, even if it bothers me. I don't see why the Wiki Fire can't do that. When copyright and libel issues are involved (or anything that would hurt an individual or group), there is no discussion. Whatever it is should come down. However, when we are dealing with issues of taste, there should be a discussion. If the TKS headline issue had been a discussion, this whole thing would not have been blown out of proportion. There is a valuable conversation and debate hidden there, but people on both sides of the debate (myself included) went the blow off steam route instead of talking about it. Had that cartoon not been copyrighted, there is a very interesting discussion to have. What "brings something to the table" and what does not is as subjective as anything. However, this site would go straight down the holes if there was just porno everywhere. So, I don't have the answer, but I feel like this is getting somewhere.[[User:Tfooq|Tfooq]] 16:07, 28 May 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
== Blocking users ==<br />
<br />
So we have had a couple spam messages on the main page talk already. I just blocked the IP of the last user. Should this be standard behavior for sysops, or does that set a dangerous precedent? [[User:Tfooq|Tfooq]] 18:46, 31 May 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
I think that if any reasonable person would determine that a person is spamming or doing massive vandalism (the penis/deleter guy) they should be blocked, no questions asked. --[[User:Afitz|Afitz]] 21:16, 31 May 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
'''Not so fast''' amigos y amigas. Each computer on Knox's network does ''not'' have a unique "outside" IP address. By blocking any non-registered user you are potentially blocking many people, and ''not'' even necessarily blocking the person doing the vandalism in the first place. Anonymous users with ip's originating from Knox cannot and should not be blocked. If this means requiring registration so be it. Existing blocks should be removed from the ip's originating from Knox since there's a good chance you banning perfectly legitimate users.<br />
<br />
Blocking non-Knox IP's is much safer, and important in the case of spammers who don't even know what Knox is (it's probably a bot anyway). If we need control over such things within the realm of the student body then registration will have to be required. You could take it one step further, tying registration to Knox email addresses would force accountability on the part of the author but would wreck anonymity, so I'm not convinced taking it ''that'' far is a good idea.<br />
-Matt<br />
<br />
i'm not saying permanently block an ip. but what happened a couple of fridays ago could have been prevented if we had just blocked the ip, even if for a half hour until the user got bored. then we unblock it later. or we could just let them reek havoc. --[[User:Afitz|Afitz]] 21:57, 31 May 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
I agree, blocking an ip for a half hour could save time in the instance of mass vandalism. One needs to be sure to remember to unblock the ip afterward, though. --[[User:Ocarina|Ocarina]] 22:01, 31 May 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
The issue we were discussing was blocking the IP of an off-campus Internet Spammer. Matt brings up a good point about blocking Knox IPs, and I think we are all in agreement with how to act in that situation (e.g. if intense vandalism, block until they get bored, then unblock). However, in the case of a non-Knox IP writing obvious spam (e.g. a bot), then just straight up blocking it shoudl not cause problems. All blocking does is prevent them from editing, anyway. If a mistake is made, they can always e-mail the editor and get it fixed. [[User:Tfooq|Tfooq]] 13:50, 1 June 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
== users involved in controversey ==<br />
<br />
If you look at the [[Talk:Jesus Fucking Christ]] page, you will see some comments made by me in my role as editor of TKS. I think there are key points missing to that page that could go a long way towards healing the situation instead of driving people further apart. However, I also realize that I am in no way the right person to be making those changes as I am at the very center of this controversy. I feel comfortable with revealing my involvement on the talk page and adding my thoughts that way, but I think we, the Wiki Fire users, should come up with a good plan of action for future situations similar to this one. We can probably use this situation as a good case study and decide exactly how someone involved in a controversy can get their thoughts out there without changing content directly. Or maybe those people's thoughts do not belong anywhere on this site. What do you all think? <br />

<br />
It's a tough line to walk when you're involved in a controversy, especially one like the JFC headline. You're right in that you're not the right person to be making those changes to the content of the [[Jesus Fucking Christ]] page and the [[TKS Hearing]] page. But the reality, perhaps unfortunately, is that your thoughts are central to the story. This is a lot like the discussions we had in the ''[[TKS]]'' office when we were deciding how to cover the Flunk Day controversy. I think the best thing to do is be as transparent as possible. <br />
<br />
That's why I like the idea of using the talk pages. Maybe I'm wrong, but isn't the purpose of having talk pages and UserTalk pages so this sort of discussion can happen? Yes, if you were to change the content of the JFC page directly, that would be bad, but using your own UserTalk page or the JFC talk page to get your thoughts out there is not a problem, in my humble opinion. Then, users can see the talk pages and decide whether they think it's appropriate to put it on the main page.<br />
<br />
Just my $.02 <br />

== Pages about courses ==<br />
<br />
It is a good thing to have pages about courses at the school. However, we should come up with some guidelines because some problems could/will arise. For example, we must be careful about students frustrated with a course using these pages to review the course or to let off steam. However, reviews of courses could be very useful to the school to bring an end to those classes at Knox that are just terrible (they do exist). So where should the lines be? We need to nail this down before classes start. [[User:Tfooq|Tfooq]] 14:45, 23 June 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
Well, the three course pages that I wrote (I think they're the only ones up - [[ART 119]], [[PS 362]], and [[PS 363]]) all use a basically identical format. I think it's best to maintain the sections like I wrote them, with more or less objective information about the class, the format, and so on, including a description of where the actual format differs from that suggested in the catalogue or on the syllabus. I think a separate section at the end, titled "Reviews" or something, and organized more or less like a talk page, might be the best way to allow people to give their opinions without having it interfere with the class description. [[User:Camozzi|Camozzi]] 18:06, 23 June 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
I like the idea of the "Review" section. It would adequately provide a place for subjective impressions of the class, which are both useful and totally inline with the overall spirit of TWF, while at the same time keeping it distinct from the objective information about the class, which I think is necessary for transparencies sake. It might be worth it to set up a template for Course pages to establish this format. I was also thinking something similar would be useful for the pages for Theatre shows. Just something to keep the site consistent. I just haven't got the hang of template making yet, or I'd set them up myself. [[User:GreatHeights|GreatHeights]] 11:25, 25 June 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
*I think Jake's on the money here. The WikiFire, unlike Wikipedia, is not so much a source of information but rather a way for an institution to reflect on itself. This is how Knox sees Knox. And that includes courses. Course reviews would be incredibly useful, both to current and prospective students. <br />
<br />
*I'm not sure what to do about the problem of people venting, though. It's a tough thing. For example, a bad teacher can ruin a potentially great course. But how far do we let it go? I'm inclined to say we don't allow personal attacks against teachers, but that's a gray area, as well. How do we keep the reviews constructively critical (of both professor and course)?<br />
<br />
*And I guess that brings up another point. As I said, a bad professor can ruin a potentially good course. How do we deal with the potentiality of students using the course review pages as a place to attack teachers?<br />
<br />
[[User:Billymax85|Bill M.]] 15:24, 25 June 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
I think that it might be useful to encourage students to make specific criticisms of courses; instead of writing "Professor X was boring," write something like "Professor X gave lectures based off of powerpoint slides for every class, which was boring." Specific comments will probably be the most useful for students and also for faculty who want to improve their courses. Students should also remember that faculty will be able to see reviews and that this isn't a completely anonymous medium. --[[User:Stockholm syndrome|Stockholm syndrome]] 16:27, 25 June 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
And if nothing else Brian's current creations allow a place for students to fill in the texts used for the course so that we can get them ahead of time. --[[User:Afitz|Afitz]] 00:52, 26 June 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
I agree that we should create a template. These course pages are a lot faster to create with a set structure already in place ([[PS 101]] is up now, too, by the way). As for dealing with poor quality criticism, I think the best we can do is add a little italicized admonishment to the beginning of the reviews section, saying something along the lines of ''"This section is designed to allow previous students to post opinions about the quality of the class, for the benefit of others who might be considering taking the course. When adding a comment, please specify the term you took the course and the name of the instructor. Try to be as specific as possible about what you did and did not like. Constructive criticism, both of the material and the professor, is encouraged, but personal attacks will be removed. Do not overwrite others' comments. You may automatically sign your comment using four tildes <nowiki>(~~~~)</nowiki> if you like."'' Something like that - it might not hurt to shorten it a little, if we can. [[User:Camozzi|Camozzi]] 01:12, 26 June 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
Okay, I took a stab at writing a template for courses. You can look at it at [[User_talk:Camozzi#Sample_Courses_Template]]. I tried to be pretty restrictive with it, so that the class pages would be, in objective information, as uniform in format as possible. The italicized parentheses thing might be a little difficult to parse out for somebody trying to use the template, but that can be fixed later. What do y'all think? [[User:Camozzi|Camozzi]] 02:33, 26 June 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
Not to hog the talk page, but you can see the Reviews section in action at a new course page, [[ANSO 300]]. [[User:Camozzi|Camozzi]] 05:37, 26 June 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
Looks good. My only concern is with potential copyright issues by suggesting that people copy and paste the course description from the Knox site. Any suggestions? [[User:GreatHeights|GreatHeights]] 10:04, 26 June 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
*I just wanted to add that I've taken a look at some of the course pages, and the template looks GREAT. I think that the course pages might be one of the best examples of the potential of TWF, and I also think that the way the concept was developed through this discourse was pretty sweet too. Good work. [[User:GreatHeights|GreatHeights]] 10:14, 26 June 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
I'm glad you like the template and pages. As for the copyright thing, I don't pretend to know a whole lot about copyright law, but we cite and link to the source and our use is noncommercial and all that. The use seems to me to be pretty fair. [[User:Camozzi|Camozzi]] 16:17, 26 June 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
[[PHIL 202]] and [[ANSO 102]] are up. These are my stab at dealing with classes that have different formats depending on who teaches them. Also, somebody else should start making some of these, because I'm going to run out of classes I've taken pretty soon, and at the very least it would be a good field test of the template. [[User:Camozzi|Camozzi]] 18:04, 26 June 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
Okay, folks. All the courses I've taken that I still have current information on are posted. Go look at them. Then go make your own for courses you've taken. They're not too hard: once you get a little ways along the learning curve you can pound one out in 15-20 minutes. [[User:Camozzi|Camozzi]] 06:05, 29 June 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
I am not a fan of the course descriptions being copied not so much for copyright reasons (though the school does own them) but more because it would be a lot more useful if the courses were defined by students anyway. Sometimes the Knox descriptions are terrible. If you have to use the course description, you should make sure it's very obvious that it's a quote from the site. As far as reviews go, let's remember that our faculty are professionals and that it will be more tempting for students who are angry to write things than for others to. I know that consensus should take care of this, but these areas should be watched with special care keeping this in mind.

|The Wiki Fire community must follow the guidelines of [[libel law]] if it is to be positive and useful.<br />
<br />
However, after that, the code of ethics is open for discussion. The college-aged generation now is the first generation to grow and develop with the power of the [[Internet]]. [[Media]] is changing, and it is on our shoulders to decide where it goes.<br />
Therefore, feel free to edit this page; if you have comments ''about'' the page, or suggestions (as opposed to actual policy changes), you can also post those on the talk page — click "discussion" at the top of the window.<br />
| width="250px" |<br />
{{Policies}}<br />
|}<br />
== Pages about members of our community ==<br />
{{main|The Wiki Fire:Policy on people}}<br />
<br />
One of the first things people will do on this site it create a page about themselves or their friends. Please read the page on [[libel law]] before writing something that could be controversial. Remember that even if something is not libelous, it may still be inappropriate. The most important statements to avoid are ones concerning someone's sexual history or sexual habits.<br />
<br />
== Mood ==<br />
<br />
[[The Wiki Fire]] should be a positive source of free information that reflects its community. However, not everything in this community is positive.<br />
<br />
Therefore, the following guidelines should be followed by the community of contributers to preserve and garner a positive mood for the site, even when discussing negative aspects of [[Knox]] life.<br />
<br />
* Information should be of an '''objective''' nature. Even at a college as small as [[Knox]], there are a wide variety of opinions regarding individuals, organizations, departments, events, and Knox in general. Therefore, your opinion is just that: your opinion. For this reason, '''subjective''' statements should be excluded, or at least rewritten to refer to opinions rather than promote them. If opinions are referred to, opposing opinions should be included if at all possible.<br />
* Edits should be made to '''entertain''' or '''inform''', not to cause harm. This includes information accusing an individual, group, or organization of illegal activities. Even if the allegations are true, take a moment to consider what consequences might arise as a result of your posting them here. [[The Wiki Fire]] isn't an exposé. If people start getting in trouble because of things on [[The Wiki Fire]], it will only discourage people from using it.<br />
<br />
== Editorial power ==<br />
<br />
This site has an ever-changing and growing team of editors, similar to that of [http://www.wikipedia.org Wikipedia]. [http://www.wikipedia.org Wikipedia] must have them to prevent vandalism and keep the pages "true".<br />
<br />
[[The Wiki Fire]], however, is not going to serve the entire world in the same fashion as [http://www.wikipedia.org Wikipedia]. [[The Wiki Fire]] is, at its core, about [[Knox College]], a school of 1,351 [[students]].<br />
<br />
If you would like to become an [[editor]], e-mail [mailto:editor@thewikifire.org the editor] with your reasons why and your user name.<br />
<br />
=== Deleting pages ===<br />
''Join in the discussion at [[The Wiki Fire talk:Code of Ethics]]<br />
<br />
In many cases, a discussion should occur before a page is deleted. If a page is irrelevant, but not harmful then a contributor should "mark" the page for deletion by writing the reason on the talk page. After a couple days, if nobody has presented a counter argument for keeping the page, it will be deleted.<br />
<br />
However, mean-spirited pages that could not possibly make a meaningful [[Knox]] connection will be deleted immediately.<br />
<br />
===Banning users and IPs===<br />
Users may be banned if they partake in obvious vandalism or SPAM of the site. If such vandalism is coming from an anonymous user, the IP address may be banned for 30 minutes or until the user stops attempting to vandalize. IP addresses (Knox IP addresses, mainly) should not be banned permanently because many users often share the same address. <br />
<br />
==Obscenity and taste==<br />
Content on The Wiki Fire is governed by the concept of [[Project:Consensus|consensus]]. This means that the value of potentially obscene content is governed by those who read the pages and see the content. If the content is completely unrelated and unnecessary, then it will not likely last long. If it is relevant, then the community will likely defend it.<br />
===Disputes===<br />
If there is a dispute over an issue of taste, it should be settled on the discussion page for the article where the dispute has occurred. Through an intelligent conversation with the site's users, a responsible decision should be made that can be considered consensus.<br />
<br />
== Creative Commons — mostly free information ==<br />
<br />
This site retains few rights to anything published here. Under a [http://creativecommons.org Creative Commons] license, anything written or uploaded on this site can be used by anybody for any use they see fit (as long it is attributed). In this way, it is almost completely free information. All software used to create this site is open-source and free, as well.<br />
<br />
== Ownership ==<br />
<br />
Who should own The Wiki Fire? How should it be organized? Someone has to pay $120 a year ... how should that be handled?<br />
<br />
At the moment, the site is owned by [[User:Tfooq|Tom Fucoloro]].<br />

*'''[[The Packinghouse]]''' is generally considered to be the best red-meat establishment in Galesburg. <br />
*'''[[Cornucopia]]/Uncle Billy's''' is a combination health/organic/natural/dirty [[hippie]] food shop and bakery. It is an essential part of your life if you are vegan or otherwise off-board, and it is generally a great place to find something yummy you have never tried before.<br />
*'''[[Joy Garden]]''' is the only Chinese restaurant in Galesburg that delivers (without a minimum charge). Unfortunately, their cook is also their deliveryman, so expect 1 to 3 hours for your food to arrive, depending on how busy they are (but honestly, the restaurant's a 10 minute walk from campus--it's not that hard to get the food yourself).<br />
*'''[[The Broadview]]''' is a 24-hour diner. [[Knox]] students are known to visit the restaurant from 1:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m. for comfort food and the entertainment of watching [[Galesburg]] [[townies]].<br />
*'''[[The Cellar]]''' is a very interesting pizzeria and pub that makes some of the best pizza in town, if you can find it (just drive through the parking lot. It's hidden back there). Great deals on Mondays.<br />

[[Image:Knox College Seal.png|thumb|120px|right|Official Seal of Knox College, adopted in 1903]]<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
'''Knox College''' was founded in 1837 by [[anti-slavery]] social reformers, led by [[George Washington Gale]]. One founder, the [[Samuel Wright|Rev. Samuel Wright]], actively supported the [[Underground Railroad]]. The original name for the school was "Knox Manual Labor College", but it has been known by its present name since 1857.<br />
<br />
The naming of the college is a curious story. Though founded by a colony of Presbyterians and Congregationalists, the county in which the college is located was already named [[Knox County, Illinois|Knox County]], after [[Henry Knox]], the US' first Secretary of War. Arguments have been made that the college was named for [[Calvinist]] leader [[John Knox]], but it is not certain which Knox it was named for (if not both). George Candee Gale, a (great-)great-grandson of two of the founders, explains that "contrary to general belief, Knox was not named for either General Knox or the Scotch Presbyterian Knox, according to my father ... Some wanted the college named for one Knox, some for the other; so they compromised on Knox. Certainly most of them were pious enough to want the churchman and fighters enough to want the soldier as well."<ref>Calkins, Earnest Elmo. (1937) ''They broke the prairie'', University of Illinois Press. ISBN 0-252-06094-6</ref><br />
<br />
Knox is also proud of its past as the inspiration for the rambunctious and lively college immortalized in [[George Fitch]]’s humorous stories about "Good [[Old Siwash]]," which were hugely popular in the 1920s, 30s and 40s. Fitch, a Knox graduate of 1897, published his stories in the ''Saturday Evening Post'', fondly depicting a college of high-spirited young men and women making the most out of the extracurricular, athletic and social aspects of a residential college. Knox students were delighted to find themselves parodied in stories that grew into several books and eventually a Hollywood movie (Those Were the Days, starring William Holden, filmed on the Knox campus in 1940). "[[Old Siwash]]" became a popular nickname for Knox College, and was for many years the name of the mascot as well. (It was changed to the "[[Prairie Fire]]" in 1993.)<br />
<br />
[[Image:5th Lincoln Douglas debate Knox College.jpg|thumb|250px|left|A sketch of the historic [[Lincoln-Douglas Debates of 1858|Lincoln-Douglas debates at Knox College]]]]<br />
Knox was the site of the [[Lincoln-Douglas Debates of 1858|fifth debate]] between [[Abraham Lincoln]] and [[Stephen A. Douglas]] in 1858. The "[[Old Main]]" building is the only site from the debates that still exists today.<br />
<br />
Two years after the debates, and during his presidential campaign, Lincoln received the first [[honorary degrees|honorary degree]] ever conferred by Knox College—a Doctor of Laws degree, announced at the Commencement exercises of 5 July, 1860.<ref>Muelder, Hermann R. (1959) ''Fighters for freedom'', Columbia University Press. ISBN 1-58152-409-9</ref><br />
<br />
U.S. Senator [[Barack Obama]] was the [[commencement speakers|commencement speaker]] for the class of 2005. [[Stephen Colbert]] spoke and received an honorary diploma in the 2006 ceremony. Also receiving an honorary degree in 2006 were Wikipedia creator [[Jimmy Wales]] and former Ambassador to Madagascar Shirley Barnes. The 2007 commencement speaker was former President [[Bill Clinton]], who received an honorary doctorate of humane letters. [[Madeleine Albright]] also received an honorary doctorate of humane letters for her commencement address in 2008.<br />
<br />
Knox College is one of 40 colleges in the nation featured in "Colleges That Change Lives: 40 Schools That Will Change the Way You Think About College," by Loren Pope, former education editor of ''The New York Times'' and founder of ''The College Placement Bureau''.<br />

<br />
===Unofficial Mascot===<br />
The unofficial mascot of Knox College is the Prairie Dragon, coined by Kristin Mussar, 2009. The Prairie Dragon has the body of a squirrel, with wings of a dragon. It also has the ability to breathe fire and thus start prairie fires. While sightings of the actual Prairie Dragon are rare on campus, it can be seen in the following picture, or on the shirts of fellow students. Kristin hopes that the legacy of the Prairie Dragon will live on at Knox for several years to come, and invites all inquires related to its history and discovery to be directed to TheGreenSpleen25@gmail.com. <br />
<br />
[[Image:Praire_Dragon_NewFireOldWords_smallest_perhaps.jpg]]<br />
<br />
=== Rivalries ===<br />
In 1843 prefecture- trustee [[Rev. Samuel G. Wright]] declared, “eternal, unalterable, opposition unto [[sloth]] and wickedness.” The overwhelmingly anti- slavery student body responded to Wright’s command by initiating what has remained one of America’s longest standing intercollegiate [[rivalries]] against pro- slavery [[Yale]] University. In 1906 124 Knox males walked 1038 miles to New Haven, Ct, where upon arrival they proceeded to raze [[Yale]]’s observatory and woman's dormitories. In 1952, after over 100 years of rivalry, Knox College students succeeded in freeing [[Yale]]’s slaves.<br />
<br />
== Facilities ==<br />
Knox College has 42 academic and residential buildings on its 82-acre campus. Knox boasts electron microscopes, a gas chromatograph mass spectrometer, a Celestron telescope, access to the Inter University Consortium for Political & Social Research, the Strong Collection of 18th and 19th century maps and photographs, the Hughes Collection of manuscripts and first editions from [[Ernest Hemingway|Hemingway]] and his “Lost Generation” contemporaries, and a 700-acre natural prairie reserve, the Green Oaks Field Station. The new E. & L. Andrew Fitness Center was dedicated on February 17, 2006, a $2.4-million, state-of-the-art facility.<br />
<br />
=== Libraries ===<br />
Built in 1928, the handsome Seymour Library is the soul of the campus and was ranked as high as 3rd in the nation by the Princeton Review. Inside its leaded glass windows and oak paneled reading rooms, the library houses more than a quarter of a million books and subscribes to more than 700 periodicals. Its special collections include the Finley Collection of Midwest History, the Strong Collection of 18th- and 19th-century maps and photographs, the Hughes Collection of manuscripts and first editions from Hemingway and his “Lost Generation” contemporaries, and an original [[Diderot Encyclopédie]].<br />
<br />
In addition, Knox offers the Kresge Science & Math Library, which houses the scientific and technical collections of the college, and the Center for the Fine Arts Music Library (CFA), which has collections of compact discs, vinyl record albums, printed music scores, and a core reference collection.<br />
<br />
===Radio Station===<br />
Knox has a radio station - [[WVKC]]. It is located on the fourth floor of George Davis Hall, a former science building that now houses social science and language departments. Its frequency in Galesburg is 90.7. It is ranked by the Princeton Review as #10 in the nation for "great college radio station" in their 2007 ''Best 361 Colleges'' rankings.[http://www.princetonreview.com/college/research/rankings/rankingDetails.asp?CategoryID=7&TopicID=56]<br />

Four public [[computer laboratories]] are accessible to students, with several more departmental labs available and a dedicated language laboratory.<br />
<br />
The largest, [[Founders]] Laboratory (a converted smoking lounge from many years ago), which is located in [[Seymour Hall]] (the [[student union]]), is open 24 hours a day throughout the year. Scanning (including film-scanning and [[optical character recognition]]) is available freely to student users, and printing and copy services are available for a small fee.<br />
<br />
Addressing the issues of paper waste and in a move to become more environmentally friendly, beginning fall of 2005, recycled-content paper is being phased in for use in all college printers. In addition, one printer is stocked with ''reused'' paper—printed on one side, the paper remains suitable for scratch copies, rough drafts, and other informal printing needs.<br />
<br />
== The [[Honor Code]] ==<br />
Knox College introduced the [[Honor Code]] by [[students]] in 1951. All students are held responsible for the integrity of their own work, and students are required to abide by the code. Because of this policy, tests are not proctored, and in many cases students may take their [[exams]] in any open, public place within the same building. Any cases of students caught disobeying the system are evaluated by their peers through the [[Honor Board]], a committee consisting of three seniors, three juniors, three sophomores, and two [[faculty]] members.<br />
<br />
== Campus Traditions ==<br />
<br />
=== [[Pumphandle]] ===<br />
[[Pumphandle]] is an annual tradition that occurs at the beginning of each new school year. Most of the entire campus population - including students, faculty, staff and visiting alumni - gather on the south lawn of [[Old Main]]. A line is formed beginning with the [[President of the College]]. Everyone else then moves down the line, shaking hands as they go by. In this way, everyone in the line shakes the hand of everyone else. Pumphandle was named one of the five weirdest college traditions.<br />
<br />
=== [[Flunk Day]] ===<br />
[[Flunk Day]] is an annual spring carnival. Planned by two students and a small number of administrators, the date of [[Flunk Day]] is kept secret from the campus until the morning of, when the bell in Old Main rings and a cadre of seniors known as the “[[Friars]]” who are now gathered together about 15 minutes before the official start of [[Flunk Day]] by the student planners run around campus blowing whistles and pounding on doors around 5:45 a.m. for the 6 a.m. beginning. In years past, [[Friars]] were taken the evening before [[Flunk Day]] for a night of merriment and then they were returned to campus to wake everyone up. However, since the school is trying to tone down [[Flunk Day]], the [[Friars]] are now only given 15 minutes to get wasted. <br />
<br />
Classes are canceled for the day as the student body turns its attention to a joke issue of the student newspaper, drinking, mud-pits, live music and petting zoos.<ref>[http://whttp://www.thewikifire.org/skins/common/images/button_link.png<br />
Internal linkww.thewikifire.org/index.php?title=Flunk_day Flunk Day - The Wiki Fire]</ref><br />
<br />
Supposedly the best flunk day scare ever was when a small group of students broke into Old Main and began ringing the bell. Recent Flunk day scares have been tame at best, with little to no effort put into actually convincing the students that it was truly flunk day.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== [[Pregnancy Scare Day]] ===<br />
[[Pregnancy Scare Day]] has continued with few interruptions since its conception in the mid 1920’s by Knox’s female students. It was originally begun in opposition to the all male group of flunk day organizers, however has continued since the inclusion of women in planning in the mid 1980’s. The exact date of [[Pregnancy Scare Day]] is determined by a secret group of upperclassmen women.<br />

==Quotations==<br />
*"Now will saying 'yes' get you in trouble at times? Will saying 'yes' lead you to doing some foolish things? Yes it will. But don't be afraid to be a fool. Remember, you cannot be both young and wise. Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don't learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying 'yes' begins things. Saying 'yes' is how things grow. Saying 'yes' leads to knowledge. 'Yes' is for young people. So for as long as you have the strength to, say 'yes.'" [[Stephen Colbert]] to the 2006 graduating class.<ref>[[Stephen Colbert]], [http://www.knox.edu/x12547.xml Commencement Address to Knox College], June 3, 2006, via Knox.edu.</ref><br />

<div>The theme of Flunk Day 2014 will be "80's". That's not true.<br />
---> OhEmGee, that's SO true. -----> Nope. The theme of Flunk Day 2014 is WILD WILD FLUNK.<br />
This Flunk Day was on a Monday AND it rained heavily. A bunch of stuff was cancelled/moved to the field house, and it was terrible.<br />
<br />
Consult your literature for the reading of the day of the flunk. [[Flunk Day 2013]]<br />
<br />
==January 6==<br />
It is rumored that the five feet of snow on the ground is the work of the Flunk Day planners, but [[Xavier Romano]] and [[Roger Taylor]] have not yet been spotted with their 5-foot [[bong]]s, so no correlation is likely. <br />
CORRELATION IS ALWAYS LIKELY<br />
<br />
'''11:24 AM''' FLUNK DAY CONFIRMED. Classes, administrative functions, and public events have all been cancelled on the website. THIS COULD BE HUGE? HAPPY FLUNK!<br />
<br />
==January 7==<br />

<br />
==March 26==<br />
Our time of absence - Spring Break - hath hastily departed this world. Verily, spring term is upon us, and as it begins, so doth the Flunk. Clutch tightly to the warm embrace of the WikiFire lest thee be caught by that most pernicious evil - the scare.<br />
<br />
--->Thank you, oh great creative writing majors at Knox ---> I'm a CS major<br />

Theresa Amott came to me in a dream and told me Flunk Day would be today. She said, "The early Flunk Day catches the worm." BAM, THERE IT IS.<br />
<br />
Tax day is today. Therefore no flunk. <br />
<br />
At 2:46 pm Deb Southern sent the Flunk Email. She warns the pleebs to not "be fooled". <-- Confirmed!!! <br />
<br />
Blessed are those who prepare for the flunk. Prepare your altars with your wine and your sustenance. Do not forget to partake in the water that which will quench thy thirst and allow thee to carry on as the spirit of the flunk enters you.<br />
<br />
A friendly helpful reminder from the flunk of yesteryear and the scriptures of the 13th year: <br />
The Rules of the Flunk:<br />
1. Thou shalt forever proclaim "Tomorrow is Flunk Day" even when thou knowest it to be false<br />
2. Thou shalt encourage thy fellow flunkers in the excitement of the Flunk, not crusheth their dreams<br />
3. Thou shalt make silly and ridiculous proclamations such as "Trains were heard. Tomorrow is Flunk." on the WikiFire<br />
4. Thou shalt love the Flunk scares for they bring about the anticipation of the Flunk<br />
5. Thou shalt never give up hope for Flunk <br />
The breakage of any above rule results in the loss of Flunk Spirit by not only your own unfortunate soul, but by the entire campus. Be a jolly Flunker, friends. Be a jolly Flunker.<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
Driving back from home today and I followed a trailer full of horses into the burg with a rental sign. What else could Galesburg use horses for other than a wild western flunk?!?!<br />
<br />
Is there a secret planner? No way is it Phil Bennet ->>> If anyone, it's going to be Ryan Paulus or Kesley Witzling. They both worked as interns for Campus Life. -> CONFIRMED. DEFINITELY WHAT THEY DID ALL SUMMER. PLAN DAT FLUNK. ->> DOUBLE CONFIRMED. THEY WORKED WAY TOO MUCH IN CAMPUS LIFE TO NOT KNOW SOMETHING! ->> They are not planners one of them is Kristine!<br />
<br />
This is the planned date for the Red Room Tutors!<br />
-> Flunk Day ALSO fell on the Red Room hiring last year. Laura Bush knows what's up. Double coincidence possible?<br />
<br />
Thunderflunk THIS COULD BE HUGE<br />
<br />
Just got a phone call to "confirm" someone else's eye doctor appointment for tomorrow. Could they really be confirming that tomorrow is Flunk Day? THIS COULD BE HUGE.<br />
<br />
KRISTINE ILAGAN EMERGENCY MEETING WITH TRAVIS GREENLY... MOVING THE DATE???!<br />

I HAD A DREAM ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL THAT FLUNK DAY WOULD BE WESTERN THEMED AND ON APRIL 28TH. PREPARE YOUR BOOZE!!!!!---r/thathappened<br />
<br />
My gummy animals have been soaking in vodka for 4 days. Optimal timing for Flunk!<br />
<br />
7:43: Craig Southern seen rushing into his office! He looked stressed and was followed by a velociraptor.<br />
<br />
Wiktoria spotted working at the library wearing a Wild Wild Flunk shirt. She probably thinks that we would consider that this means Monday is flunk day, but she also knows that we would think that would be too obvious, which means that she thinks we’ll think Monday isn’t flunk day, but we know that she thinks this, therefore we know that Monday is flunk day!<br />
<br />
Mailroom employees met up together this weekend... I heard they all know when flunk day is. Bethany works there!! http://i.imgur.com/oLxp7PB.jpg?1<br />
<br />

8:30 PM I just found this on email on a suspected planner's phone. http://i.imgur.com/ykQEYJz.png ->> Shit is fake she is not a planner ->> Potential secret planner?<br />
<br />
8:31 PM A Confirmed RA said Travis was on duty all weekend. Extended Flunk weekend?<br />
<br />
9:05 PM Flunk day planner Wiktoria spotted writing a paper due on Tuesday. She is a procrastinator, but a notorious homeworker. She's getting it done because she won't be writing tomorrow!!<br />
<br />
Is the food in?!? What is this intel?! We need info from the people that work in the caf!!--- My resident who works in the caf just said that the caf workers let her know that it is time to Flunk but then that worker took it back after speaking with Helmut-> Helmut seems frazzled.-> what else is new? ->> I saw Helmut in the Gizmo at 6:50. Was he giving Pinky and the other staff the Flunk's Eve off?<br />
<br />
9:54: TRUCKS ARE PARKED IN FRONT OF THE BEST WESTERN. I REPEAT, TRUCKS ARE PARKED IN FRONT OF THE BEST WESTERN. -->> PICS OR GTFO --->> WHAT KIND OF TRUCKS???? -->> THIS COULD BE HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE!!!!!!<br />

<br />
4:17 AM: Knox Fox seen crossing Henderson by the Dairy Queen. Flunk day definitely confirmed.<br />

<br />
6:00 AM: The Flunk Failure - It's too early in the year, there's no hype, there aren't nearly enough activities, and it's going to rain all day. KNOX, YOU FLUNKED UP. YOU HAVE FLUNKED UP ON THE KIND OF EPIC LEVEL THAT CANNOT BE MATCHED <-------go back to sleep. See above comments. BIZ. MARKIE. <---Flunk you. The flunk gods have chosen this day to be our day of flunk worship so ya'll better shut the flunk up and GET TO FLUNKIN WOOWOWOOOWOWOOWOW<br />
<br />
==April 29==<br />
Flunk day is today. Watch it play out in front of you. If today is bad for whatever reason, It will be held May 13th but only if something catastrophic happens. May 13th and 14th are backup days for April 29th. Watch.<br />
<br />
QUICK CONSPIRACY THEORY! The Fray AND The Plain White Tees are playing in Peoria April 30th. Surprise musical guest? Surprise musical guest. <br />
<br />
ALSO They don't have a concert on April 29th according to their tour schedule -> http://www.thefray.com/us/tour <br />
<br />
ALSO ALSO The poster for the trip to Peoria mysteriously vanished on April 22nd. Flunk Day? <-- that's because they sold out no way they would pay for this!<br />
<br />
This conspiracy theory was concocted by [[Michelle Secunda]] and [[Morgan Barton]], so you know it's possible. Like. In the realm of reality possible.<br />
<br />
35 votes on the AIPEF board (1 junior predicted this date 6 times). Two Coaches predicted this date.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==April 30==<br />
<br />
Wednesday flunks are about as popular as Monday flunks. It's also close enough to May 1 to satisfy the planners.<br />
<br />
there's an event with a visiting scholar.... could it be fake??? a decoy to throw us off course??<br />
<br />
This is where (or rather, when) I would put my Monopoly money!<br />
<br />
==April 31==<br />
<br />
03/25 9:25 PM Knox student Will Shen, posts on Facebook that he, "heard the Flunk Day is on April 31st! Cheers!" <-------CONFIRMED, IT'S ON FACEBOOK<br />
<br />
I guess 2014 is a leap year with the leap day being April 31.<br />
<br />
Bethany knows how to warp space time and will flunk on April 31 with or without the rest of us. Evidence here: http://tinypic.com/r/5ovwab/8<br />
<br />
Flunk Day does not exist, so there is no way it can be today.<br />
<br />
==May 1==<br />
Flunk Day was on May 1st the last two years, Teresa Amott is trying to normalize flunk day<br />
it's my birthday. The flunk gods have been on my side for the past 2 years. Let's continue this trend, please.<br />
<br />
== CINCO DE FLUNKO ==<br />
<br />
Rumor has it that the Neuro Rats have already begun wearing sombreros in anticipation <--CONFIRMED!<br />
<br />
There is also nothing on the events calendar. And wouldn't wild wild flunk be totally applicable to Cinco de Mayo? You mean, CINCO DE FLUNKO????????<br />
<br />
I prayed to the flunk gods last year that this would be the date of the Flunk shenanigans.<br />
<br />
==May 6 aka Flunk Day==<br />
38 VOTES ON THE AIPEF BOARD ALL OF THEM ARE SENIORS AND/OR TERESA AMOTT #FLUNKFLUNKSCHOLARSHIP<br />
<br />
First non-Friday, non-weekend day without rain in the next 10 days. Must be clearing up for Flunk!!!<br />
<br />
==May 7==<br />
please please please<br />

<br />
Attn: Phil Bennett's name has been crossed off the predictions board<br />
<br />
The honors banquet is this day. Not possible.<br />
<br />
==May 9==<br />
Because JPow says so. <--FALSE!!! JPow's predictions are always after flunk. <----- Confirmed. I don't know why he doesn't start making earlier predictions.<br />
<br />
JPOW always picks this day, next year it is a Saturday. Start stocking up now<br />
[[Category:Flunk Day]]<br />
<br />
==May 13==<br />
I put my raffle guess in for this day. Therefore, flunk day. (I really want that tablet you guys) <--- Self-fulfilling prophecy? This could be HUGE<br />
<br />
Late email, late RA meetings, late spring... maybe it will be a late flunk too!<br />
<br />
==May 14==<br />
Even Custodians don't know what day is Flunk Day. Perhaps it's this day. <br />

Kyle Hall's Birthday. It'll be flunk day no matter what.</div>CFG21http://thewikifire.org/index.php?title=Flunk_Day_2015&diff=30934Flunk Day 20152017-07-20T03:56:08Z<p>CFG21: Undo revision 30906 by 37.35.148.60 (talk)</p>
<hr />
<div>Considering the "Final Flunk" is already years passed, will there even be a Flunk Day this year? Is it always going to be on a Monday? Will [[Students For Flunk Day Truth]] actually "battle against the academic gluttony of the East Coast Ivory Tower Intellectual Liberal Elitists" and once and for all convince the Knox community that Flunk Day is not, in fact, real? Most importantly, what we must ask ourselves at such times is, "Should I grab my [[bong]] and [[Pabst Blue Ribbon]] now and squeeze and extra 12 hours out of this Flunk Day or wait for the email?" For answers, we look to history: [[Flunk Day 2014]], [[Flunk Day 2013]], and so on. As for tangible, informed sources, we know that only the true harbinger of Flunk is that revered pastoral scene of [[Xavier Romano]] and [[Roger Taylor]] riding Ol' Smokie (their unicorn) and puffing on their 6-footer. Until such a time comes: Flunk on, brave Flunkers, Flunk on. <br />
<br />
This Flunk Day was on a Wednesday. Much better weather than the year before too.<br />
There was a zipline!<br />
<br />

Galesburg zoned for marijuana growing operations, THIS COULD BE HUGE.[http://www.galesburg.com/article/20140618/NEWS/140619706]<br />

3:32 PM STUDENT CAF WORKER INSIDER INFORMATION: Multiple beer kegs seen inside the loading area for the cafeteria. Could be for homecoming, OR HOMECOMING COULD BE A COVER. Helmut's stockin' up. <br />
<br />
==November 2nd, 2014==<br />
1:02 PM First signs of Hamgenda appear on campus. Several students receive ham in their omelettes when they asked for bacon. <br />
From this point on the Hamgenda's presence can only increase.<br />
<br />
1:12 PM Students create first anti-Hamgenda party. <br />
<br />

WILD WILD FLUNK shirts being sold in Seymour while Donor Days sunglasses handed out, for FREE. This could bE HUGE. <br />
<br />
==March 7th, 2015==<br />
Helmut claims the dishwasher is broken, different brands of paper plates and plastic cups being used in the caf. Is the dishwasher really broken? Or are the cafeteria workers testing paper plate brands for FLunk Day??<br />
Seems the dishwasher broke around the same time last year..hmm this cOULD BE hUGE!<br />
<br />
==Friday, March 20==<br />
<br />
Union Board announces that the "Flunk Day Pep Rally," at which the Flunk Day theme will be announced and seniors may sign up to be Friars, will be on Wednesday, March 25. Students contemplate whether to show up for this event drunk, high, or drunk and high. <br />
<br />
==Wednesday, March 25==<br />
<br />
Maybe Teresa will announce that the Pep Rally IS AND WILL COUNT AS Flunk Day this year. Wouldn't that be exciting?<br />
<br />
"After the Pep Rally, let's all gather together in the Quads as a community and start digging the mud pit." - Roger Taylor<br />
<br />
Tuesday, FB, [[Matt Sugai]]: "Flunk Day is tomorrow. Pass it on." <--- 35 likes <--- alumni confirmation from [[Nick Price]] and [[Jamie Ruml]]. <--- [[Andrew Cook]]: "has there been any wikifire activity yet?" <br />
<br />
[[Diana Marutyan]] is a secret Flunk Day planner <--- CONFIRMED! <----NO IM NOT. LEAVE ME BE.<br />
<br />
[[Union Board]]: Theme is Jurassic Flunk. [[Matt Sugai]]: Theme is Uptown Flunk. WHO TO BELIEVE???? #TeachtheControversy<br />
<br />
[[Kyle Hall]]: "I was considering putting as the subject for the email for the show tonight 'FLUNK DAY THEME REVEALED.' Then they'd open it and it'd be like, 'The Flunk Day theme is punk. Come to the show.'" <--- Kyle Hall is a secret Flunk Day planner? #FlunxNotDead<br />
<br />
==Friday, March 27==<br />
<br />
[[Coltan Parker]] confirmed Flunk Day planner!!<br />
[[Wiktoria Goscik]] steps down from Union Board... THIS COULD BE HUGE<br />
<br />
==Wednesday, April 1==<br />
<br />
Cafeteria menus on My.Knox resort to gibberish. No meals tomorrow? FLUNK DAY.<br />
<br />
==Thursday, April 2==<br />
<br />
[[Coltan Parker]] and [[Ashlee Pitts]] seen walking together outside of Seymour Library. Highly suspicious. <br />
<br />
==Monday, April 6==<br />
<br />
Overnight, the lawn in front of Alumni Hall has been turned into a symbol of the mud pit. It's a bold move, but perhaps the administration decided that the reopening of this building was a momentous enough occasion to finally announce their secret support of the pit and all it's muddy goodness.<br />
<br />
Housing lottery numbers have still not been given. Koreen is obviously shirking her duties and drinking in preparation for Flunk Day tomorrow.<br />
<br />
[[Michelle Weber]] -- Super secret Flunk Day Planner. Frequents Travis Greenlee's office and has a penchant for dinosaur-themed antics. THIS COULD BE HUGE. ------> CONFIRMED. MICHELLE WEBER IS SUPER SECRET FLUNK DAY PLANNER.<br />
<br />
==Wednesday, April 8==<br />
<br />
Caf ladies overheard talking about having to come in EXTRA early on Wednesday. THE DAY OF FLUNK IS UPON US!!<br />
<br />
Some Union Board members also mentioned having to work early in the morning???<br />
<br />
Travis Greenlee was spotted on campus doing some "last minute preparation". Prepping... for FLUNK DAY?!?!?!!? <------ As hard as Travis works, there is NO WAY he would be on campus this late unless it was something as urgent as an early-morning Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
6 large trailers in the walmart parking lot???????<------- BOUNCE HOUSES?! <---- WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE?!<br />
<br />
11:57 PM Trains were heard. It's a sign. Prepare to Flunk.<br />
<br />
==Saturday, April 12th==<br />
IMPORTANT: After some digging (both in the mud pit and figuratively) the following evidence has been identified..<br />
<br />
1.The theme is Jurassic Flunk--> Jurassic Park was directed by Steven Spielberg--> Spielberg directed the movie Lincoln--> The screenplay for Lincoln was written by Tony KUSHner --> I think you see my point here. <br />
<br />
aka guest flunk appearance by Steven Spielberg and his 6 foot bong.<br />
<br />
==Monday, April 13th==<br />
<br />
First: this date tag was left blank for the entirety of April 12... This is very suspicious.<br />
<br />
Second: On April 12th, [[Cassie McLaughlin]] posted on Facebook that Union Board has finished selling Flunk Day T-shirts. Confirmation that this is THE DAY??? I think so.<br />
<br />
Also, [[The Knox Student]] has redone the layout of the paper. I have confirmation they have finished the Flunk Day edition of the paper.<br />
<br />
Confirmed: [[Cassie McLaughlin]] sent Union Board an email telling them the times they would be working Flunk Day shifts. She also stated via Facebook T-shirt sells were ending.... FLUNK DAY IS NEAR<br />
<br />
First scare was today. THIS COULD BE HUGE. <---- CONFIRMED the season of Flunk can now officially begin<br />
<br />
==Tuesday, April 14th==<br />
<br />
Several students have been seen changing their profile pictures to pictures from last year's flunk day. <br />
<br />
ON TOP OF THAT THE GOOGLE LOGO HAS GONE WESTERN (IN REMEMBRANCE OF LAST YEAR'S WILD WILD FLUNK??)<br />
THIS IS DEFINITELY HUGE. THE FLUNK IS SOON.<br />
<br />
[[Michelle Weber]] overhead talking to a friend on the phone about acquiring and/or expanding her Flunk Day stash. THE FLUNK IS NIGH.<br />
<br />
==Wednesday, April 15th==<br />
<br />
The annual flunk day email has been sent. I repeat, the email has been sent. Any day is now fair game for flunkage.<br />
<br />
April 16th isn't even on here. This could be huge<br />
<br />
[[Michelle Weber]] left her apartment late in the night and returned stumbling and singing the theme to Jurassic Park. She won't tell her roommates where she went. Flunk preparation activities? Check: Yes.<br />
<br />
==Thursday, April 16== <br />
Knox friars spotted preparing and drinking for Thursday's flunk day! Turn Up Up!flunk day 2015!<br />
<br />
I'm still up in Seymour working on a IR paper from hell. No activity in the mailroom. It isn't today.<br />
<br />
Everything about today is no.<br />
<br />
Sources confirm that [[Michelle Weber]] is having a private Jurassic Park viewing party in her apartment this afternoon in order to brief herself on dinosaur-handling ethics. A quote from Michelle herself: "No dinosaurs will be harmed in the making of this Flunk." Stay tuned.<br />
<br />
==Friday, April 17==<br />
<br />
This is the last admitted students day. Let the games (and the flunking) BEGIN!<br />
<br />
==Monday, April 20==<br />
<br />
Flunk Day recently has been on a lot of Mondays, and maybe the administration hopes to kill two birds with one stone by forcing Knox students to consolidate two of their most important holidays. If there is anything we know to be true, it is that having a Flunk Day on 4/20 would be like having your birthday on Christmas, only worse.<br />
<br />
Bethany is visiting for the weekend, possibly staying Monday to celebrate the flunk she never had as planner? -- CONFIRMED. Bethany is staying with [[Michelle Weber]]. Possibly conspiring as an alumni super-super-secret Flunk Day Planner.<br />
<br />
Knox is famous for rainy Flunk Days...so it's definitely today.<br />
<br />
<br />
WICTORIA CHANGES HER PROFILE PICTURE= FLUNK DAY IS TOMORROW!<br />
<br />
Yik yak claims there was significant digging done on the mud pit last night. Somebody confirm!<br />
<br />
Approximately 9pm- [[Alyssa Gill]], alum extraordinaire, makes a suspiciously flunky Facebook post telling us all to get some sleep... Tomorrow is flunk day<br />
<br />
==Tuesday, April 21==<br />
<br />
The only significant event on the events calendar is Natasha Trethewey. She was the commencement speaker last year, so she could be in on the Flunk plan!<-----Last I spoke with the TA they arranged this recently, until two weeks ago the date was up in the air. Flunk day was not planned around this.<br />
<br />
Union Board official Flunk Day shirts are IN! Just in time for Flunk tomorrow?<br />
<br />
Past Flunk Day planner, Bethany Marinier, sited on campus and speaking to Travis. They must have needed help with final preparations for Flunk Day TOMORROW and called in backups!<br />
<br />
==Wednesday, April 22==<br />
<br />
As of Tuesday, April 21, Walmart is out of Nalgene water bottles. THIS COULD BE HUGE<br />
<br />
Professional photographer will be on campus on both the 22nd and 23rd. Coming to take pictures of Flunk Day perhaps?<br />
<br />
Campus hasn't been buzzing nearly as much as it should be by now... This is the perfect time for the school to pull a surprise hump day flunk! What has humps besides a Wednesday flunk day? Dinosaurs. You're welcome.<br />
<br />
Steve Harwell spotted running into the memorial gym - this could be HUGE. Smash mouth has arrived.<br />
<br />
Is the Mud Pit ready yet? The Mud Pit determines when we flunk.<br />
<br />
==Thursday, April 23==<br />
<br />
William Shakespeare and [[Clint Davis]] celebrate their respective birthdays (420 years apart) today.<br />
<br />
Overheard some caf workers talking about a big shipment coming in today. Flunk Day food? GET YOUR STASHES READY! THE FLUNK IS UPON US!<br />
<br />
Former professor said he has been hearing rumors that he is "feeling good about" and advised to get prepared tonight. Can this source be trusted? Should we all be holding onto our butts?? <--- depends on where he heard the rumors, but if he's advising us to get prepared it might be a good source<br />
<br />
Prof. Stuart Allison seen walking in front of the Beanhive carrying a suspicious paper bag at 3:48 PM. Clearly it is hallucinogenics. Clearly it's prep for flunk day. THIS COULD BE HUGE~!!<br />
<br />
I'll be pulling another all nighter for Sue's IR theory class most likely, so I'll give updates on any mailroom activity early in the morning. In the future someone who lives in seymour should probably be checking the mailroom at 4 or 5. <--- what time do they start stuffing mailboxes? People should be checking the caf too! Helmut has to get in early to make Flunk Day Breakfast!<br />
<br />
Yo, guys. They locked the mailroom. They're gonna fill all the boxes with goodie bags TONIGHT. THE FLUNK IS UPON US. <--- They lock the mailroom every night, we need more evidence than this<br />
<br />
On Wednesday, April 22, actual [[Michelle Weber]] said, and I quote, "I reallllyyy hope tomorrow isn't Flunk Day." Which means: PREPARE TO FLUNK.<br />

11:13 PM-The big one has the others testing the fences. They're looking for weaknesses. Flunk is nigh.<br />
<br />
11:17 PM- Seniors in the Hamblin area screaming that Flunk Day is tomorrow.<br />
<br />
[[Cassie McLaughlin]] asked [[Diana Marutyan]] to cover her C-Store shift tomorrow. Surely this means that Flunk Day isn't tomorrow???<---Unless this is just meant to throw us off the scent!<br />
<br />
I asked [[Cassie McLaughlin]] if Flunk Day was tomorrow and she said, "I don't know, is it?" FLUNK CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
[[Cassie McLaughlin]] is being talked about a lot today. She is slightly uncomfortable. <---confirmed<br />
<br />
[[Coltan Parker]]'s planner has X's on the 28th, 29th, and 30th. What does this mean??<br />
<br />
11:45 PM-I have still have half of this paper to write. Based on my luck, flunk will be tomorrow and I will write the rest hungover on Friday. <--- Hello hulett my old friend<br />
<br />
1:00AM-MAILROOM LIGHTS ARE ON!!! IDK HOW I GOT IN HERE [https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2516/3855948381_c0a4691b3c_b.jpg] <--- This isn't a picture from tonight, there's way more stuff down there right now.<br />
<br />
1:26 AM-Teresa and Ray spotted riding across the Quads on a T-Rex. THIS COULD BE HUGE.<---Anybody hear that? It's a, um... It's an impact tremor, that's what it is... I'm fairly alarmed here <---CONFIRMED!!<---Couldn't catch a pic of the T-Rex, but here's my water cup as evidence! [http://cdn.filmschoolrejects.com/images/JurassicParkWater-300x200.png]<br />
<br />
1:31 AM-Senior Social went past expected time and seniors migrated to Cherry St. Their movement patterns are just like birds. Birds are dinosaurs. FLUNK CONFIRMED >>> "False. Birds may be descendants of theropods, but even that is controversial and based entirely on cladistics. Flunk day cannot be tomorrow." - Mikko Jimenez<br />
<br />
1:35 AM-Campus suspiciously quiet...<---CONFIRMED. Silence = THE FLUNK IS NIGH!<---Campus is obviously trying not to move to hide from Teresa's T-Rex. FLUNK DOUBLE CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
2:25 AM — I really really want to give up on this paper but I'm going to crank out 2 more pages and live with the consequences of not caring at all. IF IT IS FLUNK DAY TOMORROW SOMEONE WILL UNDOUBTEDLY GET YOLKED UP.<br />
<br />
==Friday, April 24==<br />
A road crew in China discovered dozens of fossilized eggs, clearly this is a sign of the unexpected: A FRIDAY FLUNK<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Michelle Weber]], [[Coltan Parker]], and [[Diana Marutyan]] spotted at Baked at the SAME TIME. Friday flunk preparations in the works?! THIS COULD BE HUGE!!!<br />
<br />
imagejpeg_0.jpg <---- That is a very convincing piece of evidence, FLUNK TOMORROW<br />
<br />
==Saturday, April 25==<br />
The paper plates and plastic utensils were out for lunch. Helmut leaves and secrets get out. <br />
<br />
<br />
==Sunday, April 26==<br />
April 26, 1995: "The Making of Jurassic Park" aired<br />
<br />
==Monday, April 27==<br />
Nothing on the calendar for today and nothing on the Wikifire yet either? Suspicious...<br />
<br />
The planners really like Mondays. Flunk Day has been on a Monday for the last couple of years. I'm sure it's this day. I can just feel it.<br />
<br />
A little pterodactyl just flew by my window and told me that this will be the day. Would the cute little thing lie to me? That's your call but I'd get ready for a three day weekend!!! LET'S MOTHER FLIPPING FLUNK!!!<br />

<br />
http://i.imgur.com/tE76xMj.png <--- how bout no<br />

<br />
==Tuesday, April 28==<br />
<br />
I'm suspicious that this date was not included yet. Are they hiding something????<br />
<br />
There's a Milk Route performance for writing majors, which isn't even until 7:30pm. PLENTY of time for flunk <-- they will reschedule Milk Route around Flunk Day! This does not rule out the 28th!<br />
<br />
...Today is the day <---- confirmed. the conditions are just right.<br />

<br />
Earlier today Travis said he felt like the most watched man on campus, then proceeded to go into his office and close the door. LAST MINUTE FLUNK PLANNING?<br />
<br />
Behind the scenes: calendar in the caf has today marked out in all black. They are prepared to flunk. <-- probably too late, but, pics?<br />
<br />
Anyone driving around tonight? Are any trucks parked in or near hotels?<br />
<br />
10:45 pm - Trailer parked in the shadows of the Holiday Inn parking lot. THIS COULD BE HUGE! <------ Pics or it didn't happen!<br />
<br />
Travis spotted decorating his flunk day jug in campus life office. The flunk is on!<br />
<br />
11:10 pm - There are supposedly Dinosaur prints spray painted on the sidewalks around campus. If someone can confirm, then THIS COULD BE HUGE <----- CONFIRMED!!!!! I SAW THEM!!!!!!!! THIS IS HUGE!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
11:31 pm - Campus is quiet. Is everyone asleep, prepping for an early Flunk? Flunk Day Eve?<br />
<br />
11:50 pm - DINO FOOTPRINTS HAVE BEEN SPOTTED ACROSS CAMPUS! <------ PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN <----BOOM these were between aux gym and old main [http://imgur.com/2bdgd5l], these were between caf and the quads[http://imgur.com/qgma5Vk], and these were between smc and the library [http://imgur.com/7KzvrGz,qgma5Vk,2bdgd5l#2] <---------- my picture to add to the bunch http://i.imgur.com/bGfr5Rl.jpg?1 <--- APPARENTLY Travis was seen walking with spray paint tonight!<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
12:37 AM - Dinosaur noises heard coming from Travis's apartment. IT'S TIME. <--- Flunk Day planners got real dinosaurs for the special day. They spared no expense <------ If there are no inflatables tomorrow, it's because the planners spent the whole budget to recreate dinos, Jurassic Park-style<br />
<br />
1:20 AM - TRAVIS JUST CANCELED A MEETING THAT WAS SCHEDULED FOR TODAY!!! [http://i.imgur.com/2jDgLFq.jpg] THIS COULD BE HUGEEE <----------- LIAR, you can easily see that the email is fake + the text is fake (try harder next time!!!)<br />
<br />
1:40 AM - Suspicious all white Rent-A-Center semi spotted in the Quality Inn parking lot. THIS COULD BE HUGE <----- This could be the real deal, this could actually be HUGE. <--Why Rent-A-Center? Hmm not convinced…<br />
<br />
2:28 AM - Multiple reports of dinosaur noises around campus. They have been let been let loose. Flunk onward comrades.<br />
<br />

<br />
4:18 AM - Truck-backing-up beeps could be heard from Post!!!!! <------ it was only a food delivery, the lawn is still bare<br />
<br />
6:10 AM - A damn good scare was given this morning. <--- Also broke out into a water fight between freshmen and seniors. <------ Not just water. Rumors cite milk, juice, and one freshman girl who was stopped by her RA before going after the scarers with a bat... As a consequence, the quads will potentially be woken up by their RAs instead of Friars <--- A bat? Seriously? WHERE'S THE FLUNK DAY SPIRIT, QUADS???<br />

It is confirmed that John Schlaf will be retiring on April 30th. Far more plausible than good ol' John abandoning the campus just in time for a Friday Flunk Day is that he'll put in one last Flunk Day (but JUST one, dammit) and then retire promptly the day afterwards.<br />
<br />
On April 6th, many Yik Yakers cited this as the foreshadowed date of the annual Flunk. They cited a booking with Entertainment Avenue as the reason behind such staunch belief, but this information is yet to be confirmed... <---- Entertainment Avenue doesn't keep listings of their bookings out on the website, so is it a flunk planner trying to throw us off, an excited freshman, or someone IN THE KNOW!!!! <--- don't you think the agency would know about the secrecy of the event, especially if they've been used before??? It's not going to be that easy to get the date from the company<br />
<br />
A Women's Softball game scheduled for today was confirmed canceled. THIS COULD BE HUGE. <br />
<br />
CASSIE A FLUNK DAY PLANNER HAS AN X IN HER CALENDAR FOR THIS DAY! <---- pics or it didn't happen<br />
<br />
According to Emma Downing, among others, Helmut has the 29th circled and starred on his calendar and that he attempted to hide this fact during a meeting with a student in his office.<br />
<br />
Pretty much nothing on the events calendar<br />
<br />
<br />
http://i.imgur.com/ZNc8OSE.png THIS IS HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE FELLAS <---- they had a similar post in last week's campus life email too.. do people not read those? <-- CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
1:00 AM - [[John Bird]], [[Bruce Kovanen]], and [[Padraig Sullivan]], driving back from a Neutral Milk Hotel concert in Iowa City, did a circle-round of all the hotels. They spotted an all white eighteen-wheeler in the Hampton Inn and Suites. It sat in the shadows. It was unmarked except for a small text on the side of the cab that said "Rent-A-Center"<br />
<br />
5:30 AM - Bryan Valencia spotted in flunk day attire, strutting towards campus with a guitar. Elaborate scare? Or the real deal?<br />
<br />

<br />
11:30 AM - Natalie Polechonski spotted telling her bio 130 students that she saw several white eighteen-wheelers in the Wall-Mart Parking lot. She promptly sprinted all the way back to yellows six, making pterodactyl calls all the way home, to prepare her 3 foot bong for action. FLUNK DAY TOMORROW<br />
<br />
11:59 AM - Dinosaur noises heard from the quads! Flunk day is tomorrow!<br />
<br />
1:03 PM - The ropes are back up around the grass by Alumni Hall. Preparing for tomorrow?<br />
<br />
1:09 PM - [[Travis Greenlee]] spotted going into his office with a supply of snacks - stocking up for a long afternoon/evening of last-minute preparations???<br />
<br />
1:10 PM - Unknown Yellows apt. heard blasting SMASHMOUTH songs.... Do they know something???? <-- Travis, we know it's you. So shut the fuck up. <br />
<br />
1:51 PM - Knox YikYak escalating with threats between scarers and underclassmen fed up with scares. ALL FLUNK IS ABOUT TO BREAK LOSE<br />
<br />
2:00 PM - Koreen Kerfoot, when asked by a student if she thought Wednesday was the FLUNK SUPREME, she became flustered, replying with a pause, saying "... UM.... WELL... UH.... WELL FLUNKDAY IS ALWAYS TOMORROW SO YES."<br />
<br />
~2:30 PM - Yik Yak post reading "everything in the kitchen prep book for today is for the gizmo tomorrow, nothing for the caf or oak room. Flunk day tomorrow for sure." The brave yaker is currently trying to get pics, but the staff keep hovering. If anyone can confirm, then ITS FLUNKING ON<br />
<br />
2:48 PM - Hadley has started drinking out of her flunk day water bottle!!! <------ Hadley who? <--- Hadley WHO?!? <---- SECRET FLUNK DAY PLANNER<br />
<br />
2:55 PM - a student, when meeting with Helmut Meyer of dining services, saw his calendar marked with a circle and stars on Wednesday the 29th of April, before he hastily covered it up. THIS IS HUGE. FLUNK IS UPON US.<br />
<br />
3:14 PM - Periodically throughout the day, [[Michelle Weber]] has let loose unsettling primal roars, seemingly out of her control. She is transforming. It BEGINS. <---CONFIRMED!<br />
<br />
4:20 PM - Dinosaurs are not real. They are only lies invented by Big Paleo to disquise the REALITY of the SHADOW REPTILIAN GOVERNMENT <-- CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
4:38 PM - Casey Mendoza spotted at the Gizmo. Her presence signifies Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
6:28 PM - [[Michelle Weber]] has been seen scratching at dry, rough patches of skin forming on her elbows and knees. The rash looks greenish-brown and seems to be spreading. Pre-med majors have concluded that it is no human ailment--the skin looks reptilian.<br />
<br />
The grab n go was closed for breakfast Tuesday, food shortage or FLUNK STASH!!!!!!<br />
<br />
7:32 PM - Koreen Kerfoot still in Campus Life office with the lights off. <--- lonely asf<br />
<br />
8:15 PM - [[Michelle Weber]]'s neck has begun to stretch and the nubbin of a tail is forming on her backside. It is confirmed. She is turning into a dinosaur, just as every Flunk Day Eve before.<br />
<br />
9;05 PM - Precious snowflake and alumnus [[Andrew Cook]] has changed his Facebook profile picture to a Mud Pit of yore. FLUNK CONFIRMED.<br />
<br />
9:33 PM - [[Bridget Golembiewski]] "tastes Flunk Day in the air. Like a reptile."<br />
<br />
10:13 PM - 4 shakes out of 5 of a magic eight ball says it is going to be Flunk tomorrow <----Statistically significant for Flunk!!!!<br />
<br />
10:06 PM: [[Michelle Weber]] is on the brink of full metamorphosis. She is no longer recognizable. She is essentially a fleshy, mutated, long-necked reptile, growing by the second. Soon the apartment will be destroyed. Then the house. Then the block. Flee the Academy and Tompkins area. She is not carnivorous--she means no harm--but her sheer size is destructive. I fear this is my last post of the night, possibly ever. The Flunk is upon us. Brave Flunkers, heed caution. These dinosaurs are beautiful, but dangerous. And they're growing. Be careful; your lives are at stake. It may seem impossible. But the Flunk finds a way.<br />
<br />
10:20 PM - Mailroom doors are locked??? WHAT DOES IT MEAN??? <----they are always locked!<br />
<br />
10:40 PM - Sale on Bacardi at the Kwiki! Flunk Day special? <----Goldie knows!<br />
<br />
11:05 PM - Lee Foxall becomes a conspiracy theorist on facebook, asking the Knox Enquirer and Cassie McLaughlin if the Enquirer has transitioned to a fully accurate live reporting online paper. Is he insane, or are the flunk day planners actually turning up with [[Travis Greenlee]] ? <---NOTE McLauglin's only comment as to the possibility of Foxall's assertion that flunk day is tomorrow being true, was to say that she herself is sober at this moment in time. Is Travis turnt? Is FLUNK DAY TOMORROW??? <---- CONFIRMED. TRAVIS TURNT AF<br />
<br />
11:16 PM - Don't really know him <--- CONFIRMED <--- DOUBLE CONFIRMED.<br />
<br />
11:34 PM- According to Yik Yak, there are white trucks at Holiday Inn. Does anyone have pictures?<br />
<br />
11:34 PM- "Dinosaur" by Ke$ha just came up on my roommate's playlist! Sign of Flunk to come?????????????????????<br />
<br />
11:42 PM- Angel seen at WalMart buying his flunk day stash. Obviously tomorrow is flunk day.<br />
<br />
11:45 PM - Lady at wallgreens asked a knox student if she was ready for tomorrow!! THIS COULD BE HUGE.<br />
<br />
11:55 PM - Found at least six large white trucks, some unmarked, parked at the Holiday Inn. It's FLUNK DAY EVERYBODY! FOR SURE! We are posting the pictures ASAP! <------------- Not to be a jerk but trucks are pretty meaningless. There are semis at these places every night, as over the road truckers don't sleep in their cabs every night. Also, HOW MUCH STUFF DO YOU THINK FLUNK DAY NEEDS? I'll give you a hint, not 6 semi truck loads full. ALSO, the rental companies Knox uses deliver the stuff in trailers behind pick up trucks usually. <---------- Confirmed, there are also vans with large trailers. One of the trucks is marked "Martin Bros. Food Distributor".<br />
<br />
12:44 Post basement doors that have been unlocked all year and at all times are now locked. I know, because I was afraid my laundry was going to have to spend the night there.<br />

IT"S FLUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNK DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!<br />
<br />
From: Dean Deb Southern <br />
<br />
Good Morning,<br />
<br />
Today, April 29th, IS Flunk Day. Enjoy your Flunk Day 2015. We hope you take the time to participate in the many activities which have been planned for the day.<br />
<br />
Union Board will be sending out the schedule of events shortly. <---This one time, I posted this as a prank, and then two minutes later it was Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
==Thursday, April 30==<br />
<br />
On March 12, John Schlaf announced that he will retire on April 30th. The advanced notice of his retire in the middle of the term seems suspicious...<br />
<br />
But there's a big TRIO trip on this day, and I doubt they would plan them together. So I doubt its this day. Hmm.<br />
<br />
The lucky numbers on my Joy Garden fortune cookie are 2, 12, 19, 30, 36, 40. I think that means today, the 30th, is the flunk. Or, May 2. Either way, THIS COULD BE HUGE.<br />
<br />
Kimberlé Crenshaw is on campus today. It was a miracle that we got her, so it won't be today.<br />
<br />
==Friday, May 1==<br />
<br />
John Schlaf probably decided to retire the day before so that he wouldn't have responsibility for FRIDAY FLUNK DAY!!!<br />
<br />
The Orpheum debuts Shrek the Musical on this day. COULD THIS MEAN SMASH MOUTH IS THE FLUNK DAY MUSICIAN? THIS COULD BE HUGE.<br />
<br />
HOLY FUCK SHREK THE FUCKING MUSICAL IS COMING TO GALESBURG???????<br />
<br />
Avengers: Age of Ultron is released in theaters today. Chris Pratt plays a character in the MCU. Chris Pratt is starring in the new Jurassic Park movie. FLUNKVENGERS CONNECTION!!!<br />
<br />
==Monday, May 4==<br />
The only things on the events calendar that day are a few club meetings and Writer's Block. Easily rescheduled. FLUNK<br />
<br />
Confirmed. May the Fourth be with you. <-- The Union Board is a big fan of Star Wars. <-- Confirmed<br />
<br />
Interim VP of Student Development interviews are also today. No flunk.<br />
<br />
==Tuesday, May 5==<br />
<br />
It's a Tuesday, warm weather... Is this finally the year we will see Cinco de Flunko??<br />
<br />
==Wednesday, May 6==<br />
Later in the term, to avoid backlash from students and bad weather. Good midweek break. Coltan has his worst classes on Wednesdays - it stands to reason he would try to avoid them. No athletic events scheduled this day. THIS IS IT. ==> Best Buddy Olympics is today, I doubt planners would force that to be rescheduled. <----- when was the best buddy Olympics scheduled? If it wasn't in the fall basically, it wouldn't be taken into account when picking the day. It could STILL BE FLUNK<br />
<br />
Williams Shen thinks the Flunk will occur today. <----- But is the GoPro ready?<br />
<br />
==Thursday, May 7==<br />
Jurassic Park was broadcast on television for the first time on May 7, 1995<br />
<br />

-J-Pow's annual Flunk Day prediction. <br />
<br />
-What bettter way to surprise us than by throwing a weekend flunk?<br />
<br />
==Thursday, May 14==<br />
On May 14, 1992 the FBI led a raid to claim the famous T Rex fossil Sue for the federal government. Rumors about an early flunk are merely a coverup for the real day. This late flunk will surprise everyone when Union Board leads its own raid on the Field Museum to claim Sue for flunk festivities.<br />
<br />
==Friday, June 12==<br />
Jurassic World will be released this day. Jurassic Flunk is millions of years in the making, so it can transcend the boundaries of the academic year.<br />

But seriously, '''the more contributors we have, the more fun it gets.''' No matter how crazy your theory or evidence (or lack thereof), we want to hear it. More activity equals more hype, and more hype equals a better Flunk for all.<br />

"If people don't play in the mud pit next year, I'm not donating to Knox... I will be withholding all ten of my dollars... Apparently there were a combination of factors that caused its downfall [in 2015]. But as our nation's first president, Bruce Springsteen, once said, 'maybe everything that dies someday comes back.'" - [[Roger Taylor]]<br />

<br />

<br />
Becky Benner rescued a baby squirrel from being attacked by a larger, older squirrel yesterday afternoon, sustaining scratches in the process. Today, she's not feeling so well.

==Friday, April 15th==<br />
<br />
Last Admitted Students Day - All dates from here on out are fair game <-- Flunk Day has happened on Admitted Students Day before. Tomorrow is always Flunk Day. Never lose hope. The velociraptors will catch you otherwise. <--- tru <--- But it's also a Friday. They would be breaking a lot of cardinal rules of the Flunk for it to be on this day.<br />
<br />
For the last 3 years, Deb Southern has emailed students about Flunk Day information. I don't see it straying from this trend this year. <-- Didn't you get the memo? The velociraptors will catch you if you lose hope<br />
<br />
There have been an unsettling number of cats in the business of making kittens spotted on campus. Could it be hormones in the food? Chemtrails? Or maybe ...the flunk approaches?<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
Kati Stemple pissed that the schedule leaked <--CONFIRMED!<br />
<br />
UPS driver mentions that "Flunk Day must be coming up pretty soon," has knowing smile.<br />
<br />
They honestly can't expect college students to not open any windows or doors on 4/20. Cover-up for Flunk Day? [http://imgur.com/cFEeAra]<br />
<br />
[5:07] The schedule from this entry was posted to Yik Yak not long ago, but it has come down incredibly quickly... Planners covering their tracks?? THIS COULD BE HUGE<br />
<br />
[6:45] the flunk day schedule from here is back up on Yik Yak<br />
<br />
Someone go check Walmart and the hotel parking lots for trucks <--There were trucks! CONFIRMED! <-- Were they Entertainment Avenue trucks? Cuz there are always trucks. The question is if they're the RIGHT trucks. <-- Confirmed. Saw white trucks, unmarked. THIS IS HUGE.<br />
<br />
[9:13 PM] Union Board Seniors and the junior Secret Flunk Day Planner are having their "weekly dinner". Flunk Day tomorrow. <--CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
[10:59] On the way to check hotel parking lots, it was discovered that a section of south street is closed for construction between Prairie and Kellogg. Could be because of the new art building, but more importantly this is #suspicious. <br />
<br />
[11:08] Just got conformation that the road block is due to a 6 foot deep hole in the road being dug up, from the bottom to the top. Could the construction of the new art building have been zoned a top a lost grave site? Has the promise of a building specific to art students awoken something terrifying and malicious in the corpses that lay beneath? Are the zombies angered that when they were art majors, they didn't get a building entirely to themselves? Only time will tell, but our answers will come soon. <br />
<br />
[11:25] flunk watch: Yik yak is blowing up with posts about flunk day<br />
<br />
Mail room lights are on! Flunk day confirmed?<br />
<br />

<br />
[8:34 PM] Senior UB member [[Hanh Bui]] and [[Jazmine Kenny]], roommate of Flunk planner Kati Stemple, spotted with friends drinking and discussing the glories of 4/20. Could they be preparing for a flunky Thursday?<br />
<br />
Freshman are being driven around by upperclassmen to get their first stashes. They can sense it in their fresh blood.<br />
<br />
[8:48 PM] [[Hanh Bui]], senior UB member, seen making drinks for friends to start the Flunk season off right. "Flunk day is tomorrow" as she is chugging a mixed drink.<br />

<br />
Yik Yak has spoken: "The mud pit demands a virgin sacrifice!!!!!!!!!" [http://imgur.com/MElFmQq] <-- And here is our glorious pit at dawn. Still a bit small, but well-churned and awaiting it's sacrifice<br />
<br />
[9:32 PM] Campus has been entirely too quiet and not smelly enough for a proper 4/20... everyone saving it all up for tomorrow?<br />
<br />
[10:49 PM] Belligerently drunk humans heard attempting (and failing) to shout their excitement about Flunk Day to the heavens. Or at least that's what I assume they were shouting - very few real words appeared to be used.<br />
<br />
[11:19 PM] Jazmine Kenny and Hanh Bui AND Hyunjin Jung (Senior Class President) seen getting drunken snacks and fueling up for the impending flunk??<br />
<br />
==Friday, April 22nd==<br />

<br />

[[Tevin Liao]], mailroom spy extraordinaire, reported that several massive boxes arrived today for Travis. They were never processed by the mailroom because Travis swooped in an snuck them out the back door right away. Sounds like Flunk goodies!!! As far as a next-week Flunk Day, THIS COULD BE HUGE<br />
<br />
[5:51] I'm pretty sure it wasn't today... but I just regained consciousness from my 4/20 escapades so I might have missed it. HOLY CRAP WAS IT YESTERDAY!?!<br />
<br />
==Monday, April 25th==<br />

<br />
<br />
Monday Flunk won't happen. Too many concerns about people partying from Sunday into Monday. The theme is Zombies not alcohol poisoning! <-- Has happened on a Monday before, and it works because very few people anticipate it. This doesn't rule it out. <--- Its been either monday or Wednesday for the past few years, I'm pretty sure a Monday flunk is pretty predictable. SAME GOES FOR YOU WEDNESDAY the 27th!!! <br />
<br />
Flunk day is gonna be on the 26th! I KNOW FOR SURE! SOMEONE MAKE A ENTRY FOR THAT DAY! IDK HOW!!! :'( <-- your wish has been granted<br />

Looked at the event calendar and there is nothing on this day aside from pre-enrollment and a club meeting. Of even more interest is the fact that block housing is on the 26th only - doesn't block usually go for two days... Very suspicious<- Block was one day last year- Not confirming this date <----CONFIRMED LETS FLUNK!!!<br />
<br />
I have a friend who managed to get in touch with Dolores O'Riordan (the lead singer of the Cranberries) she said that it was not out of the realm of possibility that they would be performing there hit song for Knoxies on this day. <--- CONFIRMED my cousin is seeing them live in Wisconsin on Sunday the 24th! The band is in the area!<br />

Flunk Day Planner [[Kati Stemple]] seen huddled in a dark corner of Seymour Library Murmuring "I will not get weird, I will not get weird" Many Knox partiers such as Stemple drink on Wednesdays, titling the party night "weird Wednesday."

<br />
[[Kati Stemple]] has made [http://imgur.com/aTO97p0 her official Flunk Day predictions] just like everyone else and they're for the 27th and 28th. Possibility 1: it's definitely not these days and she's faking us out. Possibility 2: she expects we will think she's faking us out and will discount these days, thus making it safe to put down a prediction on the real day. In the case of 2, Flunk Day is rarely a Thursday, so Wednesday it is!!!<br />
<br />
[12:10 PM] [[Rahil Savani]] revealed his Pre-enrollment theory. Apparently Flunk Day is always within a week after Pre-enrollment starts, and that was Monday...

Today marks exactly 2 weeks from the flunk email, and last year flunk day was exactly 2 weeks after the email.<br />
<br />

"Why was feminist party so ratchet?" you might ask. BECAUSE LITERALLY EVERYONE NEEDS THE FLUNK. It cannot wait one more day.<br />
<br />
[8:40 PM] I dreamed a dream of Monday FLUUUUUUUUUNK, when hype was high and posts prolific. I dreamed that the Wikifire would be right, I dreamed that Flunk God ([[Kati Stemple]]) would be forgiving. Then we were young and all excited, and scares were made and used and wasted. There were no failing grades to be paid, no hints unconfirmed, no booze untasted. Then the friars come at night, with their air horns loud as thunder, as they make your hopes come true, and they bring the Flunk to fruition <--- you are amazing <-- Thank you *takes an anonymous bow*<br />

[http://i.imgur.com/DAvwHBz.jpg] <-- fake, the fact that it says 'satisfactory flunk day experience' proves its fake.->CONFIRMED it's fake. There should be a parameter next to the sent date noting how long ago this email was sent. Nice try lol<br />
<br />
[05:39 AM] Trucks are passing by on South St. The Wiki Fire is strangely silent. There is a buzz in the air. Is this it? Could the Flunk finally be upon us?<----ARE THEY STOPPING????<br />
<br />
[06:05 AM] Unless our wake-up call is terribly late, today is NOT Flunk Day. Another day gone by without a Flunk. Tensions are beginning to run high. Will this year come to be known as The Flunk That Never Came?<br />
<br />
==Tuesday, May 3rd==<br />
<br />
Pretty likely date - close to previous years' dates, and late enough to let the weather get nice. <--- Currently says that it's in the 70s for this day.<br />
<br />
At Milk Route on the 26th Cyn Kitchen said the next Milk Route wasn't until May 5th, even though it's been said it's May 3rd for a while now! Did she forget they moved it FOR FLUNK DAY?!<br />

A state trooper is coming in to speak, they probably wouldn't be able to cancel this the day of...could they? <--- pretty sure flunk day was planned before this, so it's still possible <-- This seminar has been scheduled since AT LEAST early March, so I'm not sure how much it will really matter for Flunk Day. <-- Nope, it does not matter. If Flunk Day happens, we will reschedule the seminar to a later date. Sincerely, an exec member of the new club Disaster Corps. :)<br />
<br />
A state trooper is scheduled to come to Knkc for an "Active Shooter" seminar. Perhaps there is no seminar and campus safety called him in to help with Flunk Day Safety. It's highly possible since the head of Campus Safety is new this year and may need some help! <-- This seminar is open to the public so I doubt it <---- This conspiracy theory is cute, but lolno. If this was the case, Campus Safety would've brought more than just 1 state trooper.<br />
<br />
[8:14] Cyn Kitchen sent out a backup Milk Route date!<br />
<br />
someone tell me what this link means about Flunk Day. Does this mean it can't be this week? ---> https://groups.google.com/a/knox.edu/forum/#!search/McLaughlin%7Csort:date/2015-2016-ra-staff-user/YpWhBvY4JCA/discussion <----- I can't access it. Can you take a pic/screenshot of it and post what is said? <---it's from march, soo...not relevant...?<br />

<br />
[9:37] At approx. 8:17pm, all Union Board members received their free Flunk Day shirts during their general meeting. Considering UB members have to take upon shifts at various times throughout Flunk Day to help facilitate the day's event, this could be an indicator that Flunk Day is within the next 3 days. #GetHype<br />
<br />

<br />
[2:06] Flunk Day satisfies Bakhtin's notion of the 'carnivalesque,' which identifies events orchestrated by the ruling class that serve to pacify the people and dissuade social revolution. <---- CONFIRMED! Wake up, America.<br />

Baseball has a home game against Millikin tomorrow. It's scheduled on the websites for both schools and the NCAA Midwest Conference site. We will not be flunking on this day unfortunately. <-- But is it a conference game? The world does not revolve around baseball, unfortunately for your ego <--- It is, and take it easy I'm just trying to help out asshole. <--- Killing Flunk spirit is never helpful<br />
<br />
Hanh Bui, senior UB member and self-proclaimed "Flunk Queen" predicts the Flunk will come. Her stash is kept in her far-away Palace with a sticky note on it that says "May 4th." <----------CONFIRMED<-----this is suspicious. She didn't buy her flunk day stash way after this statement was on wikifire. <---not suspicious, the author of this note has an inside source. <br />
<br />
This is Henry's prediction. My source tells me he is 'pretty reliable.' <---- If he actually said this, this is the Day of Flunk. Henry is the most reliable source. He's a spy and tells students when it is.<br />
<br />
Flunk day planners and Travis had a meeting with the admin last week... Rumor has it that it was about flunk day and that the admin was not happy... KS has been stressed ever since... Is it possible that Flunk Day is actually being canceled? Will this be the last year of Flunk?! <<-------- THE FLUNK THAT NEVER CAME<br />
<br />
[10:00 AM] Test of the Knox Rave Alert systems, in case zombies attack and they need to spread the message? <br />
<br />
[10:05 AM] Alarms sounding throughout the town of Galesburg, possible sign of incoming zombies? <-----exec had it's fire alarm go off this morning and NOONE smokes in exec RIGHT<br />
<br />
[10:26 AM] There's a lot more noise and yelling in the dorms than usual this morning. People are getting antsy... people know<br />
<br />
[11:22] Slowly losing hope. Need it today to avoid death <-- could this all be an elaborate ploy to make sure we are dead for zombie flunk???<br />
<br />
[12:17 PM] There is a massive proliferation of safety on flunk day posters in Seymour. Literally all over the gallery. Could this be the sign from the planners we've prayed for?<br />
<br />
[3:30] Campus safety seen patrolling the mud pit<br />
<br />
Everyone bitching about Flunk Day needs to transfer <--- Also stop blaming the planners. There wouldn't be a flunk day without them and we all know that they plan so far in advance and have no control over the weather <-- TRUE <___ anyone who complained about a super fun day/tradition where your classes are canceled and fun things are brought in needs to go to Monmouth<------lol tru<--CONFIRMED! LEAVE!!<br />
<br />
Could the Star Wars reference at the top of the page be a hint of the impending May the 4th flunk? <---- I feel like the chances are Kylo <-- Okay, I'm leaving this for the pun, but don't be a Flunky Downer<br />
<br />
[4:02] ALL THE LAWNS BEING MOWED. I asked a worker so when does the mowing finish and he said he had tomorrow off? <------FLUNKIN READy <----maintence and grounds workers think its tomorrow<--#grasstheory<br />
<br />
[5:08] Just realized that campus safety did a fire alarm check of a lot of buildings today! (Including exec! Fire alarm never goes off here!) Preparing for tomorrow?<br />
<br />
[5:09] Knox wifi being especially shitty today. Have the zombies slowly started to arrive and take over our networking systems??? <--- THEY DON"T WANT US CHECKING/UPDATEING THE WIKIFIRE!!! THIS COULD BE HUGE!<br />
<br />
[5:33 PM] The once dead squirrel outside the Yellows mysteriously vanished! The Zombie plague is spreading!<br />
<br />
[7:05 PM] Senior [[David Valencia]], roommate of Pre-enrollment theory creator and believer [[Rahil Savani]], works for maintenance and knows when the date is. He has a piece of paper with the date in his wallet. <--- Pics or it didn't happen<br />
<br />
Admissions meeting scheduled for tomorrow was canceled without reason! <------ CONFIRMED!!!<------ flunk day confirmed!!!<--Where does it say this? I work for admissions and there's no email. <---- So what's the verdict? <-- Second CONFIRMATION from an Admissions worker - the email suspiciously said 'this does not mean flunk day is Wednesday'<br />
<br />
[8:30 PM] Cruz drops out of the Republican primaries. Are the flunk gods trying to communicate to us? <--- Hillary is still leading the Dem. race & Drumph is still in. I call this a half-omen.<br />
<br />
[9:07 PM] Kati seen walking down the stairs going into the UB Office THIS COULD BE HUGE!!!!!<br />
<br />
Take out the Dom Perignon, people. IT'S TIME TO SABER!!! <-- The printer company? <-- That's Sabre, you philistine. Sah-BRAY!---< Holy shit my bad <---... I'm already pre-gaming for tomorrow. LET'S FUCKING FLUNK!!!<br />
<br />
[10:40] Hearing lots of hype everywhere I go, but I'm disappointed to see the lack of evidence here<br />
<br />
[10:51 PM] So, this is a small piece of evidence, but I wanted to see if anyone else could corroborate this for their dorms. The custodian always cleans the bathroom in my dorm on Wednesday (this has been the case all year long), so I was surprised when the bathroom was cleaned today, on Tuesday, without an explanation of the switch. Anyone else notice the same thing? Custodial staff are in on the Flunk plans! <--- CONFIRMED! I live in 4-name same thing happened to us!<br />
<br />
[10:58 PM] This was from earlier today, at lunch. According to caf workers, the normal Tuesday food delivery is from Loffredo, but this does not look like a Loffredo truck... suspicious? Confirmed [http://imgur.com/MY2HgFy]<br />
<br />
[11:15 PM] [[Katie Hutton]]'s knees are giving signs of flunk tomorrow.<br />
<br />
[11:16 PM] Now there are two pictures on the Wikifire. Last year, there were two pictures on the Wikifire before Flunk Day happened<br />
<br />
[11:29 PM] Not EXACTLY the kind of truck we're on the hunt for, but maybe they're bringing in the zombies? :P [http://imgur.com/05USlGb]<br />
<br />
[12:00 AM] Flunk or riots.<br />
<br />
In case you were wondering how to tell if it is actually flunk day... [http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/3u6js5/]<br />
<br />
[12:38 AM] FLUNK DAY CANCELLED.<br />
<br />
[12:47 AM] Caf lights are on --> http://imgur.com/i1DC9TS<br />
<br />
[12:51 AM] Campus safety guarding the quads... Can we get a photo, quadsdwellers?<br />
<br />
[1:23 AM] Yik yak reports (complete with photos) of [[Kati Stemple]] blacking out the graffiti wall!!! [http://m.imgur.com/2xwVP9l] FLUNK DAY CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
[1:29 AM] [[Cassie McLaughlin]]?? Spotted in front of the union board, which now reads CONTAMINATION ZONE!!!! [http://m.imgur.com/U6mB5vY] I think this might be it guys!!!!!<br />
<br />
Anyone else worried about how early in the night the planners are doing this work and how obvious they're being about it...? Smells like a Flunk Fakeout to me...<br />
<br />
[2:20 AM] Flunk day in Barcelona confirmed. Yik Yak for source. Flunk day confirmed as they have it the same day as us <-- Pics or it didn't happen!! THIS COULD BE HUGE<br />
<br />
4:20 flunk it <--- it has been flunked. Waiting for my email!<br />
<br />
[5:47 AM] Lawn still bare. I hate life and all things not flunk.<br />
<br />
[5:58 AM] Scarers in the quad. Don't do this, guys, my heart can't take any more.<br />
<br />
T AMOTT REPORTEDLY SENT AN EMAIL TO RECENT ALUMNI ANNOUNCING THE PERMANENT CANCELLATION OF FLUNK DAY. IS SHE IN THE SPIRIT?? OR IS THIS FOR REAL? Someone confirm!!!! <-- I can confirm that the Knox Enquirer (basically a FB page that writes Onion-like articles, and is the source of this falsified email) is in the spirit.<br />
<br />
==Thursday, May 5th==<br />
<br />
IMG_1694.JPG<br />
<br />
Ahh the long awaited Cinco de Flunko - will it finally be upon us?<br />
<br />
This is also the only (viable week)day aside from the 27th within the normal two week period with no events on the calendar aside from pre-enrollment and club meetings. The signs are looking good<br />
<br />
Junior [[Riya Tiwari]] says this is her last choice for flunk day if all else fails. <--- last day that flunk could happen <====TRU <--- IF FLUNK DOESN'T HAPPEN UNTIL THIS DAY IT DOES NOT EXIST IT HAS BEEN CANCELLED. <---confirmed cinco de flunko bring out the tequila!<br />
<br />
8 days after the shirts came in, last year's flunk was 8 days after<br />
<br />
Can Flunk day be on a Thursday? <----theoretically? <---Duh. Flunk Day is fair game literally any day of the week<---false it's never on a Friday <--- Flunk day was on a Thursday in 2008. It could totally happen.<br />
<br />
Flunk Day Rules posters in Seymour are originally from 1989, a sign of a THROWBACK THURSDAY FLUNK? <=== post a link of where you found this?? How do you know it was on this date?<br />
<br />
Green Oaks people are in Wisconsin until Monday. Late flunk, waiting for Oakies? Perhaps the "patient zero" of the flunk?<br />
<br />
[8:34 AM] Whiny babies heard from the quads that Flunk Day wasn't yesterday. <--CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
[9:29 am] Smash Mouth heard playing at innkeepers. A sign from the flunk gods?<br />
<br />
I heard that the green oaks people are coming back today instead of tomorrow...hmm.<br />
<br />
[10:41 AM] On the calendar for May 5 includes a CPR and First Aid Training. Is it because...WE NEED TO KNOW HOW TO RESUSCITATE THE ZOMBIES!!!! FLUNK IS FOR SURE TOMORROW!!!!! <-- There is absolutely no logic to this statement. Zombies do not need resuscitating. However, Henry told me today that he was going to the Quicky to get his Flunk Day supplies because he has a good feeling about tomorrow. His feelings are never wrong. About anything. <br />
<br />
[11:14 AM] No lunch hosting scheduled for tomorrow. Flunk Confirmed!!!<br />
<br />
If this isn't flunk day I may believe that this is the year of no flunk<br />
<br />
[11:50 AM] Cutting the grass. #grasstheory<br />
<br />
[11:54 AM] Chef on the Gizmo patio with notepad. Planning out where to put food for Flunk Day?<br />
<br />
[2:49 PM] [[Larry Welch]] predicts May 5th Flunk Day, encourages everyone to prepare except [[Jazmine Kenny]] who should get some sleep for once<br />
<br />
[3:22 PM] Senior Madzia Bielinska is missing one of her Flunk Day shoes. It will not be Flunk Day until it is found.<br />
<br />
[7:40 PM] Senior [[Jazmine Kenny]] Spotted drinking margaritas...Cinco de flunko is upon us. <---CONFIRM! She was spotted with a senior UB member!!!<br />
<br />
[7:48 PM] Junior Holly Bieber returned to Knox from China yesterday. Did she know that the flunk was coming???<br />
<br />
[8:00] Is there anything in campus that could prevent this date from happening? <-- According to caf workers, it doesn't seem like the Flunk food is actually in yet, so I guess that's something<br />
<br />
[8:13 PM] Weird Wednesday is gonna be real weird tonight<br />
<br />
[9:08 PM] When do people from Green oaks get back? can someone confirm! <---- highly depends on this <---- no, it doesn't. Flunk day is definitely not planned around their trips. <--- they get back on Sunday <--- yeah as a GO alum I can promise you that we did not know when Flunk Day was and the WI trip was a great source of anxiety for us. <br />
<br />
[9:50 pm] Emily Cline was heard telling Kim Schrader, "I am staying as far away from campus tomorrow as possible." It's definitely Flunk Day. At least we can all hope.<br />
<br />
[10:45 PM] [[Jazmine Kenny]] spotted sleeping...passed out or getting a good night sleep before she flunks the day away<br />
<br />
[1:10 AM] [[Matt Sugai]]'s flunk day certainty cannot go to waste. This has to be flunk day!<br />
Cherry closed tonight and said see you at 6 tomorrow! Time to get flunk'd up<br />
<br />
[3:41 am] the wikifire is dead but these people might not be soon: http://www.sciencealert.com/a-biotech-company-has-been-given-permission-to-try-and-bring-dead-brains-back-to-life<br />
Zombie apocalypse and/or flunk day confirmed?<br />
<br />
[2:36 PM] The Flunk Day hype is like a zombie: It's basically dead, but you never know when it will strike.<br />
<br />
==Friday, May 6th==<br />
<br />
But what if???? NO ONE would see it coming. Plus it's the only nice day for a while.<--- let's fucking do it!<br />
<br />
Travis and Caf staff seen talking outside of the campus life office. Collaborating on where to put the food? FLUNK CONFIRMED.<br />
<br />
For the first time all term, the entire campus is free of weeds. They're prepping the grass for flunk.<br />
<br />
Caf food is seriously lacking today. Are they getting rid of old food so they can make room in freezers for flunk burgers?<br />
<br />
Heard from Peter Bailey himself that he was tipped off flunk day is tomorrow. He has all his equipment ready to photograph the event<br />
<br />
Prof Gilbert says Flunk Day happens on a Friday every 7 years. It's the 7th year. Flunk Confirmed. <--- Prof Gilbert also said it 100% won't be Friday because of a big art showcase.<br />
<br />
Mailroom received a shipment of party paint yesterday. UB members quickly moved it so it wouldn't be seen by non zombies. Rumor has it this paint is the cure.<br />
<br />
Zombie costumes all rented from Gaeaburg Costume Shop for tomorrow. <br />
<br />
ZOMBIES SEEN CRAWLING ON THE HORIZONNNN. Fuck yeah turn up.<br />
<br />
Fake blood spotted seeping out from under the campus life door...<br />
<br />
Travis seen smoking a joint with a couple zombies behind CFA.<br />
<br />
The weather is supposed to be 80s and sunny. Perfect weather to flunk <--- CONFIRMED.<br />
<br />
==Monday, May 9th==<br />
<br />
"No need for the wikifire. It's May 9th." - Jonathan Powers <---- This is the year!!! <--- Right!?! Been waiting for this for years!!!<br />
<br />
This is the year. I heard J-Pow retires this summer, so they finally granted his Flunk Day wish of May 9th. <---- Source?? J-Pow didn't say anything about retirement to the swim or water polo teams afaik... <---- Yeah, debunked. I just talked to him and he's not retiring anytime soon.<br />
<br />
We know now that this is the week -05/05, can not be on a Friday and they can't have it any later than this week for fear of students burning down the school. Monday or Tuesday look promising.<br />
<br />
We should throw our own flunk day. Students and faculty could skip/cancel all classes. It would be really chill. <--- good luck organizing the whole campus to do that *eyeroll* <------- it became a Knox organized/planned thing because someone always has a class that they are going to have to go too an obviously one date is not going to work for the entire student body. Stop thinking you can organize it own your own because you can't. This way the classes are actually canceled so everyone can participate. Weather they choose to or not is up to them. <---why would we organize our own flunk day when there are already four people dedicating a lot of time and effort to organize it?<---plus where do you think you're going to get that many bounce houses? leave it to the planners, they know how to throw a good flunk<br />
<br />
There is the 'Focus on Freshman' event this day as well as a speaker on this day. Unlikely that these would be cancelled for flunk day. <---- there are events every day. Almost anything can be cancelled. <---Rumor is, the planners ask faculty and staff to submit important events during Winter term so they can avoid planning during bigger on-campus events and the career center didn't submit this in the Winter. So there was no way for the planners to avoid conflicting with "Focus on First Years"<br />
<br />
[7:24 PM] The Lincoln Fest poster has come down, and a new event poster has not gone up. All that is up on the Union Board is the Flunk Day poster. It is coming.<br />
<br />
[9:19 PM] entire campus in denial. Should not be tomorrow. <--- Too bad for campus. The Flunk will occur regardless of public sentiment<br />
<br />
[11:00 PM] KS asks about a scare for tomorrow. Flunk confirmed. <-- CONFIRMED!!! She's asking, planting the seeds<br />
<br />
[12:00AM] Old Main bell ringing--signaling the upcoming apocalypse?<br />
<br />
==Tuesday, May 10th==<br />
<br />
Although there has only ever been one Flunk day the second week of May (May 8th, four year years ago)***, there are reports that two different students are flying in this week in order to participate in Flunk Day festivities. One student is a recent alumni who has received intel. from The Planners in order to romantically surprise her on-campus significant other, another is a current student who is off campus this term. Both reports come from students who are picking these individuals up from the airport. But who knows whether or not anything on campus will still be standing if it takes this long for Flunk Day to arrive. <--- Flunk Day 4 years ago (2012) was May 1st, not May 8th. I was there. It was great. ***There have actually been at least two Flunk Days this late in term. Significantly, the very first Flunk Day in the history of Knox College was May 11, 1922. Check it out, bottom of page: https://www.knox.edu/news/news-archive/flunk-day-2014<br />
And a photo from the referenced "Roughneck Week": http://collections.carli.illinois.edu/cdm/ref/collection/knx_way/id/288<br />
<br />
May 10th is way too late in the game. Plus even though Tuesday's are possible there's a reason why flunk day is rarely on Tuesday. - former planner ;) <----what is the reason? <--- labs, art classes, classes that meet twice a week. It's been done but it's usually avoided to make post flunking a bit easier.<br />
<br />
NO JUST NO!!!!!!<br />
<br />
Confirmed by one of the planners by mistake... It's today <--- proof? <--- WELLL.. you didnt hear it from me but i heard Dana tell Brandon that Matt told her that Janey told Kevin that she saw Johnny and Paul walking but Charlie wasn't with them he was with Dana but Charlie told Paul that he heard that '''everybody fucking knows it's gonna be flunk day on May 10th.''' <- this part especially<br />
<br />
[12:44 PM] C-Store workers confirm flunk day is tomorrow. <--- CONFIRMED by Gizmo workers as well<br />
<br />
[1:01 PM] All lawns being mowed! Flunk Confirmed! <--- They mow different parts of campus every day. This is a myth..<br />
<br />
Flunk Day is definitely not going to be on Tuesday guys. I mean there are SO MANY other days left that are prime Flunk Day material. There is the 11th, 12th, 13th... and so on. Don't get your hopes up. This is FOR SURE not going to be Flunk Day, I mean really everyone. Nothing to see here. Move along to other days. You are just wasting your time reading this right now since there is a 0% chance this is Flunk Day. Shoo... no need to think about it any more. You can sleep in there really isn't even a reason wake up early to check for an e-mail. I'm being so serious right now. Don't even entertain the idea that this could be Flunk Day. It's NOT. <- '''FLUNK CONFIRMED'''<br />
<br />
[4:12 PM] Flunk Day is without doubt tomorrow simply due to copious campus belief. <- Confirmed.<br />
<br />
[5:33 PM] Nothing of substance is happening on campus, of course this must be the time for flunk day!<br />
<br />
Guyz. It's shitty as all hell tomorrow. If flunk day was tomorrow, all that ruckus last week will come around ten fold. The flunk day planners know this. It will most likely be Wednesday.<--- Wrong. Flunk day isn't moved because of the weather. They've booked everything for one specific day.<---Also Wednesday is just as rainy, enjoy the rain flunk! <br />
<br />
I havent been by the quads this year but I hope you folks made it huge! Tomorrow's weather and theme should make for a legendary Mud Pit!!!<br />
<br />
Much beloved alumna Bekah Lauer '14 says that today is definitely the day. She would not reveal her source but she said she would stake her reputation on it.<br />
<br />
[8:00PM] Travis seen rushing across campus complaining about the rain. Last minute preparations for the flunk?<br />
<br />
I've heard that the English department has big speakers coming in Monday and Wednesday--leaving Tuesday open for flunk day!<br />
<br />
[8:56 PM] Deities and prophets of all major religions drove up South Street in an unmarked white truck firing Flunk Day T-shirts with a T-shirt cannon. Ganesh was in the driver's seat revving the engine to rally the planners and Thor was riding shotgun taking a hit from a Mjolnir-shaped bong. Good ol' Jesus himself was hanging out the window turning the rain into wine so grab a cup get out there and get drinking. The Holy Crew then anointed every grounds worker and Food Services worker with the divine knowledge of the sacred Date of the Flunk. Rumor has it that Yahweh/Allah himself will be performing this year with a choir of angels. Definitely no way that Flunk Day could be any day other than this day so everyone drop everything and start partying. Blessed be your stashes in the name of the Flunk, the most Gracious and most Merciful. Amen.<br />
<br />
[9:04 PM] Junior Allie Whitehill is headed to the bars for a fabulous Flunk Eve 21st bday bash, saying "If I wake up drunk at 5 AM, it's all for the better." This could be huge. <----Confirmed, girl knows how to rally.<br />
<br />
[9:40 PM] The cackling and moaning of wild packs of Flunk Zombies can be heard throughout the halls of Hamblin. Symptoms include drinking copious amounts of alcohol, bathing in the Flunk hype, and general 'turning-up' behavior. If you have had contact with any of these former students, BEWARE. YOU COULD ALREADY BE INFECTED<br />
<br />
[9:46 PM] Last year the dinosaur footprints appeared on campus the day before Flunk Day. There have been only a few viable Flunk dates since the graffiti wall went up, so that interval is getting a little stretched out, don't you think? Can't be long now<br />
<br />
[9:48 PM] [[Rahil Savani]] spotted running out of Founders screaming, "IT'S FLUNK DAY!" Could he have lost his mind, or does he really know?<br />
<br />
[9:55 PM] Seniors spotted already taking full bags of alcohol bottles out to the recycling. They've got a headstart on you, so get to FLUNKING <--- What?<br />
<br />
[10:00 PM] What are you doing checking the wikifire? You should be pre-gaming for tomorrow. Go drink and party! <--- you mean go to bed!!!<br />
<br />
[10:17 PM] Bouncy house truck spotted in country inn and suites. DA. FLUNK. IS. CONFIRMED. <- Pics or it didn't happen! <-- I HAVE THEM I HAVE THEM [http://imgur.com/vWi4FCr]<br />
<br />
[10:22 PM] Druids seen raising miniature zombies at Stonehenge. The flunk is nigh! See for yourself... [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAXzzHM8zLw] <---Please don't feed into the stereotyping that implies anyone from my religion or similar religions would attempt, or condone this. Also FLUNK CONFIRMED!!<br />
<br />
[10:25 PM] Trucks spotted at the Inn. Get ready to flunk!!! Source: Yik Yak. <-- For pics, see above<br />
<br />
[10:45 PM] Weather on the iPhone says NO RAIN!!!!! ITS A FLUNK DAY MIRACLE!!!!!<br />
<br />
[11:40 PM] What, is everyone too plastered to post to the wikifire? Come on, drunk posting would be the most fun<br />
<br />
[11:54 PM] A couple of SMC-rat kids have been told by Campus Safety that the flunk is upon us. One of the young officers said it IS CONFIRMED when asked<br />
<br />
[11:58 PM] Cars parked in front of the Seymour loading dock at a suspicious hour. [http://imgur.com/eH69LFT]<br />
<br />
[12:00 PM] Roger Taylor and [[Edward Flunky Hands]] spotted running down South street while double-fisting 10 foot bongs, yelling "Merry Flunkmas Eve to all, and to all, GET SOME DAMN SLEEP CUZ TOMORROW'S FLUNK DAY"<br />
<br />
[12:20] Everyone is buying alcohol at Walmart----> IT MUST BE FLUNK DAY TOMORROW<br />
<br />
[12.45] the "caution" tape is hanging out of KS apartment <---pics or it didn't happen!!! <--- I do not have pics but I can confirm that I also saw this.<br />
<br />
[5:04 AM] Updates? Some of us don't live on campus to check :(<br />
<br />
[5:57 AM] AAAARRRRGGGUHHHHHH! BRAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIINS!!!<br />
<br />
[6:04 AM] Refreshing.... refreshing... refreshing.... Guys... I think someone broke my email...<br />
<br />
[6:07 AM] The email has been sent. Let us record this historic moment in the annals of history!<br />
<br />
==Wednesday, May 11th==<br />
Flunk day will be on Wednesday!<br />
KS told me it was today. At first I thought she was messing with me. Now I don't.<br />
CONFIRMED WEDNESDAY!!!!! <---CONFIRMED! She was so upset this weekend by all of the campus negativity that she spilled on Friday night to some people at the bars!<-- She's also amazing at keeping her secrets <--- And at trolling the shit out of people. Anything she said cannot be taken as fact.<br />
<br />
<br />
There is a speaker from University of Cincinnati Historian Matthew Norman, so wednesday is a no go!!!! TUESDAY FLUNK LETS GOO<br />
<br />
==Thursday, May 12th==<br />
<br />
Most likely date. Only real option left. <---NO. I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THIS<br />
<br />
Day before Friday, the 13th. <--Zombie attack scheduled.<br />
<br />
What better day than the day before Friday the 13th for a Zombie Flunk? I think no day.<br />
<br />
I don't think today is Flunk Day. Not feeling like the one.<br />
<br />

The World is Ending. FLUNK DAY TOMORROW<br />
<br />
==Tuesday, Febuary 28th==<br />
11:34PM - a covered semi trailer is spotted in the WalMart parking lot. We all know what hides here. Could they be setting up this early on in the game? Is this even that early on in the game??? <br />
<br />

Alumnus (alumnum?) [[Matt Sugai]] kicked out of midnight breakfast. Claims that they are not a student. Smells like a cover up.. <----very interesting. Could it be that Matt knows something about flunk day that we don't know? and that Knox doesn't want getting out???<br />
<br />

~5:00 PM - [http://imgur.com/qg6dVdA] <br />

==Thursday, March 16th==<br />
1:27 AM [[Scott Roberts]] (landlord of the [[yellows]]) seen carrying canned food, bottled water, a first aid kit and other supplies to the basement of the yellows. Was also wearing a tool belt. It is presumed that this is where he will bunker down and take shelter until flunk day is over.<br />

<br />
This was the first day of spring. [[Theresa Amott]] was spotted at 7:35am in the art bowl, sitting in an inner tube, buck naked, drinking from a bottle of Jager with a crazy straw, and wondering where everyone was. Sources say she stumbled towards the lawn at approximately 7:51 am, proclaiming that she was going to "ride" the "mechanical bull." Squirrels were seen fleeing in terror. We cannot confirm if March 20 was actually Flunk Day or not, but Amott's actions speak for themselves.<br />
<br />
==Tuesday, March 21st==<br />

REPORTS RECEIVED of a recruiting email for the Marines sent out to certain students AT THE EXACT MOMENT that the 2017 flunk day theme — Pirates of the Flunk — was announced. Coincidence????

<br />
4:53PM - [[Mark Holmes]] encourages his Open Studio students to 'dig' through their notes from past years to create an artist statement. Does he want us to dig something else??? Only time will tell.<br />
<br />
==Tuesday, March 28th==<br />

We need more information to confirm!!!!!! <br />

<br />
==Thursday, April 6th==<br />

<br />
==Sunday, April 9th==<br />
<br />
SPOTTED: Pepsi stand east of Gizmo patio. Leftover from Prairie Fire Fest- keeping it out for an early flunk???<br />

<br />
Coms Office Releases THIS ARTICLE ABOUT PREDICTING FLUNK DAY https://www.knox.edu/news/a-pocket-guide-to-predicting-flunk-day -----> They seem a little TOO insistent that they don't know when it is. I think they know.<br />

<br />
==Tuesday, April 11th==<br />

<br />
==Wednesday, April 12th==<br />
Williston Hall seems to be awfully loud tonight. Do the quiet ones know something?<br />
<br />
Sam Duffy changed her profile picture to a Flunk Day throwback. She's on the inside... trust me.<br />
<br />
Looks like the planners are going in for a late flunk again this year:<br />
Evidence: <br />
<br />
1. No Flunk Day email has been sent out yet. NONE. NADA. The email is sent out pretty early in the term<br />
<br />
2. Do any seniors know if they are friars yet? NO scares in the quads (yet! wait for it, Freshies) <br />
<br />
3. The mud pit is DRY, even though I heard that some Sig Chi and SNu had top secret agenda paperwork piling up in their basements regarding some flunkin' important matters<br />
<br />
4. Grass has not been mowed....Can someone find out when the grass is scheduled to be mowed next?<br />
<br />
5. Flunk Day T-shirts are not sold yet (Did UB forget that we are not stupid and that FLUNK is to happen few weeks after they start selling the t-shirts???)<br />
<br />
Flunk Spirit *R.I.P.*<br />
*ALL around campus there is a shortage of drunk people. Wake up and take a shot ya tokers, the Flunk might be closer than you think.*<br />
<br />
==Thursday, April 13th==<br />

<br />
[11:00pm] Y'ALL we all need to STEP IT UP and start hyping up the FLUNK!!!! I can't sustain the wiki fire by myself.....flunk day is about TEAMWORK! LET'S DO THIS. That being said it's definitely tomorrow <--- CONFIRMED < ----------- COULD. NOT. AGREE. MORE. IT IS SO DEAD IM EMBARRASSED<br />
<br />
==Monday, April 17th==<br />
<br />
The Freshman were all given Flunk Day Survival Info from their RAs before last Monday. Any day now is officially open to being Flunk Day. <br />
Let the predictions flow like a ship at sea. AAAAARRRRRGH! IT's GAME ON! ---> CONFIRMED. [2:10 pm] Talked to a freshman in my class and she said her suite had the Flunk Day talk last week. Another freshman told me they had theirs two weekends ago.<br />
<br />
Admitted Students Days are over. Where's the email, Deb???<br />
<br />
[9:18 pm] Email from Andrew Salemi announcing that Flunk Day shirts can be ordered online NOW! (what happened to tabling ppl? truly a lost art) This is not a drill.<br />

<br />
==Wednesday, April 19th==<br />
Probably not this day seeing as it is the Almost There Fair for Seniors to pick up their caps and gowns (and also donate money to the school).<br />
<br />
It's B.G.'s birthday...could the planners be trying to combine to drunk catastrophe's into one day to minimize damage? Seems likely.<br />
<br />
[3:10 pm] SPOTTED: TKS editors [[Rachel Landman]] and [[Erika Riley]] carrying newspapers down hallway of Seymour. They went in the campus life office. Could be the Flunk Day issue???<----FALSE TKS does NOT know when flunk day is, they just make an issue earlier in the term so they can print it on the day when they find out just like everyone else. <-------True only 4 people know when Flunk day is: New campus life person that has replaced Travis, 2 flunk day planners from UB, and one school person (T Amott) <---- False. Many more than 4 people know. Admissions so they don't schedule tours. Deb Southern and other people in OSD. Campus Safety so they can be prepares to try (ha!) to stop the mud pit. The administration is ripe with information. <----True. TKS isn't the admin, but they definitely print in advance and give the issue to Campus Life.<br />
<br />
==Thursday, April 20th==<br />
<br />
Does Flunk Day really exist? Does ANYTHING really exist?<br />
<br />
Could this be the first 4/20 Flunk? Rumor has it one of the secret planners is a hard core stoner...<br />
<br />
a 4/20 flunk day could be huge!! there are mostly club meetings but no big events so it is a big possibility. at least it would be a good day to scare the freshies for the first time!<br />
<br />
Does anyone know if they're a friar yet??!?!?! NO ONE KNOWS ANYTHING!!!<br />
<br />
Lots of people posting on facebook today about Smashmouth. Could this finally be our year?<br />
<br />
==Friday, April 21st==<br />

<br />
==Monday, April 24th==<br />
<br />
Today there's a NYTimes journalist coming to campus and the new Parke Ethicist-in-Residence thing is happening. Big enough to stop the Flunk? Maybe not. <----- ethicist is here all week as it's a residency, flunk day is still a possibility. <---- and she's an alum, so she's familiar with flunk day! maybe that's why they chose her???<br />
<br />
First scare of the season!!!<br />
<br />
Janitorial got 6 large boxes of floor cleaner. Prep for post-Flunk clean-up? #Confirmed<br />
<br />
People who ordered shirts- have they arrived yet??? PLS RESPOND <--- I haven't heard anything!<br />
<br />
There's construction happening on the east side of Old Main and there's a big hole in the ground. Maybe Flunk Day won't happen until that's done? I don't think it's out of the question, but it seems like a bad idea to have a bunch of drunk people running around with that. I'm sure Facilities knows when Flunk Day is.<br />
<br />
Members of Union Board have received their shirts at their weekly meeting. We could be flunkin' any day now, all is fair from here on!<-----confirmed <br />
<br />
Staff members will get their flunk day shirts on Wednesday? So it couldn't be on Tuesday <br />
<br />

huddled group of freshman overheard muttering about how they "...just wish flunk day would be done already" as they cast wary eyes around looking for snooping seniors, who might wake them up a tad early again, just to fuck with them.<br />
<br />
FLUNK DAY APPAREL IS IN<br />
<br />
Overheard a librarian explaining Flunk Day to a student worker. She thinks it's going to be an early Flunk.<br />
<br />
Everyone knows we've been rooting for a Smashmouth flunk for the past few years. According to the band's website, there are no shows booked between April 22 and May 13. Could it be that they're making a stop in The Burg between shows????????<br />
<br />
"All Star" by Smashmouth was playing in the mailroom this morning...sign of the flunk?? Do they know something we don't?<br />
<br />
Andrew Salemi extends signup deadline for Big Pink Volleyball. Does it mean anything?????<br />
<br />
==Wednesday, April 26th==<br />
FLUNK DAY FRIAR INFO STILL NOT SENT OUT. SURPRISE FLUNK FOR ALL??<br />
<br />
Richard Stout has this day marked as Flunk Day on his ECON 110 syllabus. What econ model did he use for his prediction?<br />
⬆️ Same for his Econ 303 syllabus.<br />
<br />
HEAR, HEAR MY FELLOW KNOXIES:<br />
Evidence shows that this day VERY CLEARLY can be the long awaited, the most drunk, flunk day of the century.<br />
<br />
Now, What evidence do I have you might say?<br />
<br />
1. T Amott Cancelled her fancy reception for Tuesday, preparing for the Flunk?<br />
<br />
2. There is supposed to be a track and field meet in Des Moines, but this IS NOT happening<br />
<br />
3. Greek Week has something scheduled for each day of the week, except this one. It is "wear jeans" day. Knowing that Greek week is organized by people in Campus Life, the same offices where our FLUNK <br />
DAY is planned DID THEY HINT NOT TO PUT ANY EVENT UP THIS DAY BECAUSE WE'RE FLUNKIN'?<br />
<br />
4. It is the day after AnSo Senior Research Draft is due<-------------AnSo professors would reward you for such an effort with flunk, wouldn't they? <------#AnSotheory<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Suspicious trucks at econo lodge and mall parking lot?? Flunk day confirmed???<br />
<br />
"Just saw this at a computer that was left logged in at the library, I logged out but got some good insight, this sorority girl knows her shit" :<br />
<br />
5. UB has not gotten their shirts yet, which always happens before the day<br />
<br />
6. Two confirmed planners, the UB advisor, and a suspected planner were at Walmart on a SUNDAY/today (cannot be part of normal UB business, therefore 100% Flunk related)<br />
<br />
7. The shirts are in but still need to be distributed to people that ordered them. Shirts are likely to be distributed across multiple days (unconfirmed and possibly misunderstood) <-- The can put them in mailboxes day-of<br />
<br />
8.Unconfirmed but someone says the purple shirts are not in (for staff day-of) <-----staff members get their shirts on Wednesday? Can someone confirm?<br />
<br />
9. Athletic events have been cancelled day-of in the past<br />
<br />
10. Weather forecast gives no indication of date because it is decided upon way before and they will not move it at the last minute<---------weather forecast for Wednesday is rainy, easier access to the mudpit?<br />
<br />
11. Unlikely to be close to or past May 10th because a current planner caught a lot of shit for it last year<br />
<br />
Make of this what you will. The first viable date for Flunk day is this Wednesday.<br />
<br />
Coltan Parker's Ass spotted hanging out the shotgun window of a blue subaru impreza as it drove by SMC. The numbers 04 were on his left cheek and 26 on his right. It may be a sign, or simply a deceptive trick. Who's to say?<br />

Flunk Day's on its way<br />
It's filled with things<br />
Things for you and for me<br />
<br />
'''Chorus''':<br />
It's that time of year<br />
When the world falls in Flunk<br />
Every song you hear seems to say<br />
"Happy Flunk Day,<br />
May your Flunkiest dreams come true"<br />
<br />
And this song of mine<br />
In three quarter time<br />
Wishes you and yours<br />
Happy Flunk Day, too<br />

Repeat Chorus<br />

<br />
I took a nap this afternoon, and Deb Southern came to me in a dream. She spoke not a word, but held up three fingers. I asked her what it meant, but all she did was shake her head and laugh. Can anyone trained in dream interpretation tell me what this means?<br />
<br />
DOES ANYONE HAVE A 4-11 ON ROGER TAYLOR????????<br />
<br />
Word has it Terrie Saline is convinced flunk day is tomorrow, May 3rd, 2017, according to several of her student employees. As she is a topdog Knox administrator, I think this should be taken seriously.<br />

Flunk Gods in the sky look down where she lay,<br />
The little young freshman napping on Flunk Day.<br />

The Smashmouth is playing, the freshman awakes,<br />
But little drunk freshman no crying she makes.<br />
<br />
I love Thee, oh Flunk Day, I can’t tell a lie<br />
Tomorrow you’ll be gone, and I’ll sadly sigh.<br />
<br />
Be near me, oh Flunk Day, I ask Thee to stay<br />
Close by me forever, and love me, I pray.<br />
<br />
Bless all the dear freshmen in thy tender care,<br />
Oh, thank you for hearing my sweet Flunk Day prayer.<br />

However, the due date reads 'Friday," suggesting the library is closed on Thursday for Flunk Day. #FLUNK DAY CONFIRMED <---- library worker here, chances are good that the due date is Friday at 1am, which would still be Thursday, as the library is open until 1am (if that makes any sense)<br />

Welcome to the '''Knox Survival Guide''', your portal to necessary information about "making it" at [[Knox College]]. Some of this you will learn during [[Orientation Survival Guide|Freshman Orientation]]. Some of it you won't.<br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
<br />
It would perhaps be most useful to get some basic bearing on where you are and why you are there, and who all these people are around you. It's good to be a quick study.<br />
<br />
To start off with the most painfully obvious, [[Knox]] is a small [[liberal arts college]] located in Western Illinois, which is part of the [[Midwest]]. There are 1420 [[students]]. <ref>[http://www.knox.edu/x700.xml Knox Fast Facts]</ref> And you are stuck here for what may seem like an extraordinarily long time, about as long as a [[President of the United States of America|presidential administration]]. Added to them are several dozen members of the [[faculty]] and a number of [[staff]], both [[Administration|administrative]] and rank-and-file. The town of [[Galesburg]] is home to around 33,000 [[people]] and a fluctuating number of [[train]]s. The trains will undoubtedly be one of the first things you notice, and you will notice them several times an hour for several months, until you don't even notice them anymore. You know how they say that people can learn to live with anything? That is [[the Knox Experience]]. Apparently it was [[Copy Editor|copy-edited]] out of the [[admission]] brochures.<br />
<br />
This article makes much reference to cardinal directions to place items of interest. For those of you used to [[Denver|mountains]] and [[Chicago|city skylines]] as reference points, just remember that [[Old Main]] faces north, towards downtown Galesburg.<br />
<br />
Also keep in mind that this guide was written around the inception of The Wiki Fire and edited completely randomly and largely anonymously since then. Basically, be the clever aspiring Knox students we all know you are when reading this.<br />
<br />
==Your Fellow Students==<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Of the 1392 students at Knox, maybe half come from the state of [[Illinois]]. The bulk of those come from [[Chicago]] and its various [[suburb]]s (mostly the [[Outside of Chicago|suburbs]]). Generally, when meeting a person, if they don't say what state or specifically what neighborhood in Chicago he or she is from, you may as well cut to the chase and ask them what Chicago suburb they're from to save time. Those of you not from Chicago will soon learn the names and relative locations of all the suburbs. According to the [[The official Knox website|Knox website]], 14.1% of students live within 100 miles of Knox. This includes a number of Galesburg natives and [[non-traditional student]]s with Galesburg residency, as well as students from [[Peoria]], the [[Quad Cities]], and the [[farm]]s and [[small town]]s of western Illinois and eastern [[Iowa]]. The rest of the Illinois students come from places like [[Rockford]], [[Carbondale]], and other regions of northern, southern, and central Illinois. The local and non-Chicago Illinois students seem to comprise a remarkably large percentage of [[athlete]]s and possibly the majority of [[Beta]]s. <br />
<br />
Beyond this, there are numerous students from surrounding states: [[Wisconsin]], [[Iowa]], and [[Missouri]] are the primary contributors. After Chicago, [[St. Louis]] and [[Kansas City]] may be the best-represented cities at Knox. There are a number of students from rural areas of these states as well.<br />
<br />
Outside of the four-state area, the majority of American-resident students are from various sizeable cities. While for the more local students academic or athletic reputation was a significant consideration, for the rest [[financial aid]] often took precedence. Distant but well-represented cities at Knox include [[Denver]], [[Albuquerque]], and [[Portland, Oregon|Portland]] ([[Oregon]]). Beyond the seven states so far mentioned, there are forty-one more states and territories currently sending students to Knox. These students are sad and all alone in the world. Comfort them. Instruct them in the relative fashionableness of Chicagoland's area codes (unless you actually want to make friends during orientation). <br />
<br />
We mustn't forget also the substantial set of [[international student]]s coming to Knox. These students have come looking for an American [[education]], and are on the whole able to pay for it. Some question might be asked as to why they would choose, out of hundreds of schools, Knox, but as Knox has made a special effort to attract international students one can make some assumptions. Generally, the largest sources of international students seem to be tropical western [[Africa]] (especially [[Ghana]] and [[Nigeria]]), [[South Asia]] (especially [[Nepal]]), [[Southeast Asia]] (especially [[Vietnam]]), and eastern [[Asia]] (especially [[South Korea]] and [[Japan]]). There are several students from [[Europe]], and one combination student and graduate [[teaching assistant]] from [[Germany]] each year. Many of the European students, as well as some of the others, are children of American diplomats or businesspeople.<br />
<br />
Knox is said to be very [[diversity|diverse]]. Though this is true, the administration really likes the Chicagoland area. Like, a lot. It's almost sad that the most diverse experience some people have is at a school of only around 1400 undergrads, but most Knox students manage to cope with this sad state of affairs somehow. Those that can't at least have a wonderful new topic for their Honors project on Post-Colonialism. <br />
<br />
===Academics===<br />
<br />
Knox touts its distinction as the best liberal arts college in [[Illinois]], a state that, to be fair, has a fairly weak history in the liberal arts. After all, the [[Chicago|City of Big Shoulders]], which back in Knox's time was a relatively uncultured creep of Midwestern industrial growth and centralization, required a meat-and-potatoes sort of higher education system, and there were certainly plenty of well-established schools [[East Coast|further east]] for nancy English majors. Knox has, however, done fairly well for itself, placing somewhere in the seventies each year on the ''[[U.S. News and World Report]]'' rankings. It often garners good ratings in the [[Princeton Review]], and is a perennial favorite of the book ''[[Colleges That Change Lives]]''. Knox is quick to note whatever accolades it receives, and you can find them quoted [http://www.knox.edu/x703.xml here].<br />
<br />
Quantitatively, 75% of Knox students were in the top quarter of their [[high school]] class, and 43% graduated in the top tenth. The middle of 50 percent of the [[ACT]] Composite score is 26-31; for the [[SAT]] (out of 1600), 1150-1410. Knox does not require the ACT or SAT anymore. This is because we are innovative. Remember this. We made [[Abraham Lincoln]], too, as far as we're concerned.<br />
<br />
These statistics, while good, aren't quite as impressive as some of the more famous schools – indeed, while many in [[Illinois]] or [[Missouri]] have heard of Knox, if you utter the name in [[California]] [http://knox.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2202235148 then people will think you're going to school in Tennessee]. You will soon learn, if you have not already, that the official name of Knox outside of the Midwest is "Knox College, a small liberal arts school in western Illinois (not near Chicago)." A recent addition to this somewhat cumbersome name is 'where Stephen Colbert got his DFA'.<br />
<br />
On the whole, the basic demographic at Knox is good students, with moderate achievements, generally with either a high personal concern either for community or a pressing practical concern for money. A larger than usual percentage are students whose work in high school was perhaps tempered by other concerns, usually social but sometimes associated with being batshit crazy. A fair number of intelligent underachievers add to the mix as well. To be fair, Knox, while selective, is not ''that'' selective.<br />
<br />
===Social===<br />
<br />
As just mentioned, students often think much of social matters, and as the middle students of high school who, perhaps, existed without some firm sort of group identification, the social scene at Knox is quite involved. It is made the more so given Knox's small size and isolation: just as water boils faster in a covered, confined space, Knox's [[drama]] percolates up all the time. The wide availability of drugs and alcohol doesn't help anybody calm down, either. For [[Anso]] majors, it can be quite the opportunity for some ad-hoc fieldwork, but of course few of them can resist being involved themselves.<br />
<br />
On the whole, Knox's drama appears to be more intricate than that at many other schools. And, as everybody pretty much knows everybody with at most two degrees of separation, and sees them once or twice a day, there are a lot of opportunities from social intercourse. This is the sense of community of a small school, but also one of its strangest phenomena. The [[rumor mill]] is especially large, and it is not unheard of for [[faculty]] to get entangled in it as well (they, apparently, need their [[sex]] too). Attempts have been made to catalogue the [[The Web|network of romantic and sexual relationships]] on campus, but the complexity and rapid changes have gotten the better of them. Anyone trying to compile such a list quickly realizes that not only are the heuristics absurd, but also that all of the compilers tend to be just as awkwardly and intricately connected as anyone else. <br />
<br />
====The Greek System====<br />
<br />
For first-years especially, the social scene is largely centered on the [[Greek]] system. After the first year, those who do join a Greek organization keep somewhat within that organization (though anyone will tell you that the Greek system at Knox is not nearly what you expect it to be), and those that do not join any will coalesce their own social channels or find a good balance between the two social realms, but until then there is significant room for maneuver. The [[fraternity|fraternities]] are most prominent on the party scene, because they have residential houses and it is easiest for them to both fit people and organize. The [[sorority|sororities]] only have nonresidential houses, so they don't hold as many parties, instead attending the fraternity parties. The sororities are also larger and contain a larger variety of people within them than do the men's fraternities, making their identity somewhat more difficult to define. [[Rush|Recruitment]] for these organizations is different than many major universities, and begins in [[Winter Term]]. Besides the organizations listed, there are several more niche Greek organizations of various size and purpose. <br />
<br />
*[[Tau Kappa Epsilon]] (Teke) is located to the east of [[Beta Theta Pi|Beta]]. It is known for its parties and recruits many fine young men out of Seymour. It is also the oldest remaining TKE house in the nation. <br />
<br />
*[[Beta Theta Pi]] (Beta) has historically attracted athletes, including football players. Their house is on South St. between [[TKE]] and [[Alumni Hall]].<br />
<br />
*[[Phi Gamma Delta]] (FIJI) attracts a lot of baseball players, basketball players, a significant number of African international students, and sundry others. Depending on the year, it is the most multicultural of fraternities. Their house is on the southwest corner of [[Cedar Street|Cedar]] and [[Tompkins Street|Tompkins]] streets, diagonal from the Galesburg Police Station and across the street from Standish Park. <br />
<br />
*[[Sigma Nu]] (SNu) caters largely to the less obviously fraternity-material students (the geek contingent), and tends to be focused on video games, esoteric conversations, and "bein' chill". However, as of 2010-2011, they have attempted to "rise above the awkward," posing a more friendly socializing atmosphere. In 2013-14, they successfully "rose above the awkward," and are now no longer awkward. Their house is located on [[West Street|West St.]], across from the service ramp in the [[Quads]], a fact which they enjoy reminding Quad residents of. <br />
<br />
*[[Sigma Chi]], the newest fraternity (and, thus far, sadly lacking in a whimsical abbreviation) grew out of the [[Ultimate Frisbee]] team. Its members are fond of [[nudity]]. Their house used to be a very prominent [[crackhouse]] until the occupants were arrested and one fraternity member's family purchased the house, remodeled it, and sold it to the school. It is located on the southwest corner of [[West Street|West]] and [[Knox Street|Knox]] streets.<br />
<br />
*[[Delta Delta Delta]] (Tri Delta) is one of the sororities. They maintain their Lodge on [[Academy Street|Academy St.]], behind [[SMC]]. They are known for always staying classy and being overly enthusiastic about everything. <br />
<br />
*[[Pi Beta Phi]] (Pi Phi) also maintains a house (the Bungalow) on Academy, just north of the Tri Delta Lodge. They are known on campus for being down to earth. <br />
<br />
*[[Kappa Kappa Gamma]] (Kappa)'s house is north of the Pi Phi Bungalow. Kappas at Knox are known for their balance of partying and leadership activities and usually wear big sunglasses. <br />
<br />
*[[Alpha Sigma Alpha]] is the newest sorority on campus. Originally branded the female [[SNu]], they have since backed away from this label.<br />
<br />
**[[Women of Influence]] (WOI) is another recently-formed sorority colony comprised mainly of members of [[Lo Nuestro]] and [[ABLE]].<br />
<br />
**[[Gentlemen of Quality]] (GQ) is the newest colony addition to the Greek system.<br />
<br />
====Suites====<br />
<br />
The other major locus of social organization is the [[suite]] system. Upperclassmen generally [[Housing Lottery|get to pick with whom they are living]], if they have any preference in the matter, but [[first-year]]s are simply thrown together based on survey answers. Given the pressure-cooker social atmosphere, few people end up living with their first-year roommates, for instance, for any additional time. Some first-year suites end up becoming destinations, and others are simply bedrooms. Some suites have perennial reputations, [[Seymour 3B]] being the most infamous. Each freshman suite or group of suites comes with a Knox-issue [[Resident Advisor]] (RA), who will range in quality and willingness to overlook suite members' [[Drinking|actions]] and [[Marijuana|possessions]]. Regardless of your opinion of this person, they are there to for numerous reasons, mostly as an intermediary between you and the administration. Keep in mind that you screwing up (and getting caught) reflects poorly on them as well, but seeing as they have attended the college for longer than you it is totally acceptable to look to them for assistance and advice. <br />
<br />
==Your Room==<br />
<br />
First-years are housed in [[residence hall]]s, usually two to a room. Students may request a [[single]], but it costs several hundred dollars extra and often requires some justifying to the administration. Generally demand is too low to fill them with paying students, so some first-years will be thrown into them at no cost. First-year singles are located in [[Five-Name]]. There are also two triples in [[Seymour Hall]]. Sometimes, due to dropouts, roommate moves, or the like, one might end up living alone in a standard room. This is called a [[double-single]]. <br />
<br />
However, housing at Knox is best described as a creature with amoeba-like attributes and is, as you will see on campus, a matter of paperwork rather than actual practice for many students. Some students even opt to informally live somewhere other than where they were assigned, either because they have found a suite of people they like a little better or have found one person they like a lot better.<br />
<br />
===Seymour Hall===<br />
<br />
[[Seymour Hall]] houses about 80 [[boy|male]] first-years. There is one suite on the second floor of Seymour on the north side of the building ([[Seymour 2]]), and two suites on the third floor: [[Seymour 3A]] above Seymour 2, and [[Seymour 3B]] perpendicular to 3A, over the [[Oak Room]]. The suites are accessible by a spiral staircase above the [[Grab-n-Go Cart]] between the [[Campus Life Office]] and [[Founders]], and by the stairwell on the west side of Seymour, which leads down to the section of Seymour basement with the [[mailroom]] and the [[bookstore]]. These suites are the least secure on campus, as they are in a building that is open 24 hours a day, and the doors to them are usually propped (although [[Campus Safety]] unprops them on its rounds). The rooms are large, if not particularly nice looking. The closets are large enough to fit the [[Dorm furniture|standard-issue dresser]] in them. There is a single common area for all three suites, at the eastern end of 3A; it is hardly ever used, and usually is cannibalized for its furniture. There are [[vending machine]]s on the third floor. [[Laundry]] facilities are in each of the bathrooms, of which there is one on each floor. The roof of Seymour is accessible from windows in the bathroom and several of the rooms, but fines for being out there can be significant if caught.<br />
<br />
Seymour suites have unparalleled easy access to campus, as they are right upstairs from the eateries, the [[Founders|main computer lab]], and the mailroom. On winter days, one need not leave the building except for [[class]]. These suites are generally the least well-kept of all on campus, and the suites often incur high repair fees at the end of the year for their various drunken indiscretions. 3B is perennially the worst of the three in this sense, and has a long history of [[alcohol]] and [[drugs]] beyond the normal levels. The squalor is part of the ambience. Those with a heightened sense of [[hygiene]] will find life in Seymour to be [[Phantom Shitter|very hard on them]].<br />
<br />
===Post Hall===<br />
<br />
First-year [[Post]] is an [[girl|all-female]] area of six [[suite]]s, with about 100 girls. These suites are on the north side of the building, along [[West St.]]; there are also four upperclass suites in the east wing of the building, and upperclassmen living in [[Post Basement]] (the rooms of which were installed to alleviate [[overcrowding]] during the 2006-2007 school year) and may be fondly referred to as [[Post Dungeon]]. [[Kitchen]]s and [[laundry]] rooms are available in the basements, and the [[C-Store]] convenience store is in [[Post Lobby]], along with a big-screen TV (generally controlled by the [[Gaming Information Network]] or other video-game players). There are stairwells between each suite<br />
<br />
Each suite is two stories tall, with a common area on the lower floor, an internal staircase to the balcony, and two small bathrooms on each floor. Each suite has 16 to 18 students, making for a very small bathroom-to-student ratio – Post suites are likely the cleanest on campus. They also have very nice views of campus, with the huge suite window. Then again, this makes it very easy for [[Campus Safety]] to break up unregistered [[parties]]. Post suites are numbered from one to ten: Post 1 is the lower northernmost suite, Post 2 the suite above it, and so on, to Post 10, the upper-level suite farthest out on the east wing. Only Post 1-6 hold first-years.<br />
<br />
===Raub-Sellew===<br />
<br />
[[Raub-Sellew]] is located in the [[Quads]], and is largely made up of first-year housing, although the amount of upperclass housing changes from year to year. It runs east-west, between [[Five-Name]] and [[Four-Name]]. The [[Loading Dock]] is at its western end. There are six suites on three floors, each with 10 to 12 students. On each floor, one suite is Raub and one Sellew. As with Seymour, these are designated by floor (e.g. [[Raub 2]], [[Sellew 1]]). There is a common area in each suite, and one bathroom separated in two parts for each floor. Sellew and Raub each have a stairwell. [[Laundry]] facilities are available in the basement, but no [[kitchen]]. Sellew-Raub is not co-ed by floor. The first floor is first-year boys, the others first-year girls. [[Sellew 1]] has had a reputation for being full of obnoxious and noisy partiers who smoke too close to the building. It is typical Quads and pretty unremarkable.<br />
<br />
===Conger-Neal===<br />
<br />
[[Conger-Neal]] is pretty much the same as Raub-Sellew, and is located along [[West St.]] north of the [[Loading Dock]]. Most of the occupants are upperclassmen, but usually at least one suite is made over to first-years. The [[Conger-Neal basement]], reminiscent of the infamous velociraptor scene in Jurassic Park, is the third-scariest on campus, after [[Aux Gym]] and [[GDH]].<br />
<br />
===Five-Name===<br />
<br />
[[Five-Name]] is the large L-shaped building rounding the northeast corner of [[West Street|West]] and [[Knox Street|Knox]] streets. It contains five suites. [[Campbell]] and [[Elder]] are the two suites of the north wing, and [[Neifert]] and [[Sherwin]] are on the east wing. [[Furrow]] is in the bend, and houses primarily upperclassmen. The basements also have a few rooms, but these are usually given to upperclassmen as well, although many believe them to be the worst housing on campus. This reputation is based largely on five-names extreme excess of fire alarms, though it may seem unthinkable to have as many as 6 fire alarms in a single day that is daily life in five-name. Each wing essentially has a double suite on each floor, with a shared hallway separated by a door that is usually open, and bathrooms at either end. The building is co-ed. There is a combination kitchen/laundry room in [[Neifert Basement]], along with [[the Roger Taylor Lounge|the former Roger Taylor Lounge]]. The[[Student Health Center]] sits on the outside corner of the building and is combined with the [[Counseling Center]]. Five-Name suites are numbered by floor, starting in the basement (Neifert or Elder 1, although usually they are referred to as Neifert or [[Elder Basement]], with the actual first floor being numbered 2, and so forth). Five-Name is far away from everything, except loud Sigma Chi dance parties.<br />
<br />
===I-House===<br />
<br />
If you are an [[international student]], you may end up in the [[International House]]. Congratulations.<br />
<br />
==The Campus==<br />
<br />
Knox strives for a parklike setting. It used to strive for a tree-lined sort of parklike, and then [[Dutch Elm Disease]] happened, so now it strives to evoke more of a [[prairie]] thing. In the summer and early fall it is very green, what with the well-kept lawns. The small nature patch east of the quads is what the land used to look like. One can imagine that in the future, when deer become sentient and take over the world, there will be a small patch of manicured lawn west of the quads at Deer-Knox (undoubtedly refounded by gazelle-slavery abolitionists) that will be visited by [[Anthropology and Sociology|Human Studies]] classes.<br />
<br />
On the northeast quarter of campus are most of the academic buildings on campus. [[Old Main]] is the old one, with the [[belltower]]. [[Seymour Hall]] is the one with all the stuff in it, in the center. You eat at it. [[GDH]], the [[Aux Gym]], and the [[Old Jail]] are around, along with administrative buildings outside of the campus proper. [[Alumni Hall]] is the other old one. To the west is the gray building that looks kind of like a scale model of itself, which is [[Seymour Library]] (not to be confused with Seymour Hall – [[Knox]] may have few wealthy [[alumni]], but those it has are sometimes suitably generous). [[TKE]] and [[Beta]], as well as the [[Wilson House]], are nearby. North of [[South St.]] are the [[apartments]], which are home mostly to seniors and some juniors, as well as [[270 W. Tompkins]] (a rotating theme house) and the [[Jazz House]]. West of South [[West St.]] (confusing? Just wait) is [[SMC]], the large building that suggests a swastika, and behind that the [[sorority]] houses, another house, and the [[Human Rights Center]]. On the eastern side of the campus is [[CFA]], and in the southeast corner the [[Memorial Gym]]. The [[Quads]] are essentially the southwest corner, including the [[Old Quads]] ([[Four-Name]], [[Conger-Neal]], etc.) and the [[New Quads]] ([[Five-Name]]). [[Post Hall]] is just north of these, and a number of campus houses, including [[I-House]], the [[Old Phi Delt House]], [[SNu]], [[Sigma Chi]], and [[Yellow House]] are strung out along [[West St.]] from [[Berrien St.]] on the north end to [[First St.]] at the southern end. The [[Steam Pipe Network]] connects many of the campus buildings. Here, look at a [http://www.knox.edu/prebuilt/PDFs/Campus_map.pdf map of campus].<br />
<br />
[[Elevator]]s on campus are about as common as [[Republican]]s in [[Chicago]] city government (see? Even if you're not from Chicago you pick up fast on these things). ''[[BLADU]]'', the now-defunct humor magazine, had a feature in its early years called "This Month's Event that Disabled Students Can't Attend" or something to that effect. If you're wheelchair-bound, you might have done well to visit first.<br />
<br />
===Old Main===<br />
<br />
Knox's signature building. It's on the letterhead. The school makes a big deal about it being the only remaining site of the [[Lincoln-Douglas debates]]. [[Abraham Lincoln]] climbed through a window to get to the debating platform – He'd "been through college," he said. You may have sat in [[Lincoln Chair|his chair]] as a [[prospie]]. If Knox knew exactly where he had walked while on campus, they would surely mark it off as the Lincoln Trail, litter it with interpretive signage, and all but worship it. More prosaically, as it were, it holds the [[English Department|English]], [[Philosophy Department|Philosophy]], and [[History Department|History]] departments, as well as some key administrative offices on the first floor, including the office of the [[Dean of the College]], the [[President's Office]], the [[Business Office]], the [[Office of Student Development]], the [[Dean of Students]], and so on. Major meeting rooms in Old Main are the [[Alumni Room]] on the first floor in the northwest corner, and the [[Common Room]] along the southern side of the second floor.<br />
<br />
===Alumni Hall===<br />
<br />
For a long time, Alumni Hall was kind of like a classic car – it's old, and really beautiful, but it's been neglected for forty years. [[Knox College|Its owner]] always talked about restoring it, but doesn't have the [[endowment|balls]] to do it, so the car rusted out on the [[South Street|driveway]], looking pretty stupid to anybody who drives by. At some point the owner would asks [[James Kilts|his friend]], the former CEO of Gillette, who once landed his helicopter in the owner's backyard, whether he would be willing to give him several million dollars to restore the car and name it James Kilts Alumni Classic Car, to which this lugubrious CEO, already glorified to no end in the owner's [[admission]] brochures, will reply, "I don't do buildings." And here the analogy falls apart.<br />
<br />
Going into the hall used to be a treat, not to be turned down by any student if they ever got a chance (usually when the [[Trustees]] come – the open it up to try to get them to feel bad and give money). Otherwise, it stood empty, and glowed sodium-orange at night. The daring at heart, (who were lucky enough to find Alumni Hall unlocked) would enter Alumni Hall under the protection of nightfall, escaping before the timer turned on said lights.<br />
<br />
After [[Teresa Amott]] came in, she made Alumni Hall one of her top priority, got some backers and started restoration. It was "completed" by [[Fall 2014]], but the presence of construction workers continued through [[Winter 2015]]. It now houses the [[Office of Admissions]], [[Office of Financial Aid]], and other administrative offices. It does not contain a coffee shop. No one knows why.<br />
<br />
===Seymour Union===<br />
<br />
Where to begin?<br />
<br />
[[Seymour Union]], also known as Seymour Hall, has three floors and a basement. The second and third floors are entirely all-male [[residence hall]]. If the right doors and windows are open, sometimes [[marijuana]] smoke wafts down to the first floor. On the first floor are three different eatery options. Along the south side of the building is the [[Hard Knox Café]], known as The Caf, the buffet-style option, and the most well-used (if not the most popular) one on campus. Just north of it is the [[Oak Room]], which is single-pass and has less variety but is often better quality. Across the hall from the Caf is the [[Gizmo]], the snack bar/fast food sort of place, which is open all day and is a major gathering spot. Next to it just outside the building is the [[Gizmo Patio]], which is very popular for [[drama|socializing]] and [[studying]] in warmer weather and [[smoking]] even in the winter. The windowed hallway from the Caf and Gizmo past the Oak Room to the north side of the building is known as the [[Gallery]]. This is where [[tabling]] happens. Often the school will bring traveling merchants in the Gallery to hawk their wares, most notably the [[poster sale]], the book fair, girl scouts with cookies, and most often a woman who sells clothes and woven items.<br />
<br />
The Gallery ends and a new perpendicular hallway takes its place for the north side of the building. The northeast corner of Seymour is taken up with [[Founders]], the main [[computer lab]]. It has mostly [[Windows]] computers (but a few [[Mac]]s), as well as a tricked-out laser printer. It is open 23 ½ hours a day (closed from 5-5:30 AM for computer maintenance). Across the hall from Founders is the [[Campus Life Office]], where [[Craig Southern]] (the housing guy) and [[Cindy Wickliffe]] (the campus events organization lady, and the sender of campuswide [[e-mail]]s that you're not supposed to respond to) work. The building foyer on the north side also has [[change machine]]s and an [[ATM]]. The change machines are broken almost as often as not. You will get used to it. Be nice to the Gizmo people, because if you are they might give you change even though they're not supposed to.<br />
<br />
Further west along the hall is the [[Carl Sandburg Study Lounge]], which is basically the only study lounge open 24 hours a day. It is especially popular with [[international student]]s. Next to that is the [[Publications Office]], where staff for ''[[The Knox Student]]'' and ''[[Catch]]'' work. A hallway branches off to the west stairwell, which heads toward the [[mailroom]], and after that there is [[Ferris Lounge]] and the [[Lincoln Room]], which are sometimes used for meetings, a number of smaller rooms off a hallway, and [[Helmut Mayer]]'s office (Helmut is the Director of [[Dining Services]]). The [[Loading Dock]] is on the west side of the building, and receives shipments for Dining Services. The Dining Services office is accessible only from outside the building, just west of the Caf.<br />
<br />
There are actually three separate basements in Seymour, at least as far as student accessibility is concerned. Students can only get into two, unless they work for Dining Services, which uses the third section for storage. One section, on the northwest side of the building, contains the mailroom and [[bookstore]]. The other section is accessible from a stairwell near the Gizmo. At the landing there is the [[Union Board]] office, and some other [[club]] office space. At the bottom are two bathrooms, the [[Student Senate]] office, and [[the Roger Taylor Lounge]] (formerly [[Wallace Lounge]]). The left side, which has windows, is a study area, and the windowless right side used to be a bowling alley, but is now a game room complete with two pool tables, a foosball table, an air hockey table, several big-screen TVs and a Nintendo Wii. At the back of the lounge is the old ''[[BLADU]]'' office, which formerly housed the [[Free Store]] (now located in the basement of [[Conger-Neal]]). This is the only public building open 24 hours a day.<br />
<br />
===Seymour Library===<br />
<br />
[[Seymour Library]] is in the top 2% of [[college]] libraries nationwide, they say. However, they don't quote this rank like they do for ranks associated with [[financial aid]] or the [[WVKC|radio station]], so it's a little suspect. All in all, however, it's a lovely library for a school of this size. Jobs at the library are among the most coveted on campus. It contains the main copy machines for public use, a number of [[computer]]s (including laptops you can check out at the front desk), and a few dozen or so books, too. The study carrels are numerous and generally fairly quiet, although many of the red swivel chairs squeak horribly. The catalog is online, and accessible [http://library.knox.edu here]. You can check out movies too – the VHS library is larger, but they continually acquire new DVDs for [[professor]]s' class needs. The [[Special Collections and Archives]] room has a lot of very interesting old things. The major meeting areas in the library are the [[Muelder Reading Room]] (much, much better known as the Red Room, because of the red carpet), and a number of smaller rooms arrayed next to it, including the [[Bookfellows Room]], [[Finley Room]], and [[Cassidy Room]]. On the third floor above this area are [[Honors office]]s, for seniors who are doing an [[Honors Project]]. On the first floor, the study room at the east side of the building arrayed with glass-block windows is often referred to as the [[Fishbowl]].<br />
<br />
[[Reserves]] for (non science) classes are available at the front desk. Smaller reserves are in manila envelopes and listed by a file number, which you have to look up in the catalog. The rest are by call number. There are also open reserves, which are located on the first floor, between the periodicals and the DVD shelf. There is only one bathroom in the entire building, off the foyer. There are two stairwells, one at the front and the other at the back, running just to the right of the Fishbowl.<br />
<br />
If you want science books or reserves, those are available at the [[Kresge Science-Mathematics Library]] in [[SMC]] (another donation behemoth, that Kresge was). There is also a [[Music Library]] in [[CFA]].<br />
<br />
===SMC===<br />
<br />
Officially known as the [[Sharvy G. Umbeck Science and Mathematics Center]], it is called SMC (pronounced '"smack") because many of Knox's benefactors (in this case a former college president) do not have pretty-sounding names. We can't all be Seymours or Kresges, after all. It contains offices and classrooms for all the sciences, including [[psychology]], [[mathematics]], and [[Computer Science|computer science]]. Its basement is creepy and contains the [[Computer Center]], two computer labs, [[Stellyes]] and [[Caterpillar Lab|Caterpillar]], and many file cabinets containing magical objects (this is where you can find the [[door to Narnia]]). The [[Office of Advancement]] is located in the E wing. The [[Kresge Science-Mathematics Library]] is in the center of the second floor. The building has four wings, lettered B through E, with the core being A. The A-wing contains two large lecture pits seating over 100, one of which is the meeting place for [[Student Senate]]. There are six stairwells, two in the core and one on the end of each wing.<br />
<br />
SMC is not really shaped like a swastika, but it kind of looks like it, especially from above. Perhaps they will make additions.<br />
<br />
Be prepared to find yourself lost somewhere in SMC during the first term. It may help to watch the scenery outside the huge plate-glass windows--it's the only thing that changes as you move around.<br />
<br />
===GDH===<br />
<br />
Officially known as [[George Davis Hall]], this was the science building before SMC was built in 1970, and currently houses a number of [[Academic Department|department]]s, including all the social sciences, [[Modern Languages and Literatures Department|Modern Languages]], and [[Educational Studies Department|Educational Studies]]. The radio station, [[WVKC]], is located on the fourth floor, accessed from the eastern stairwell. It contains the [[Centel Lab|Centel computer lab]] on the first floor, which contains special workstations for use with foreign language instruction. The basement is the second scariest on campus, although it is sometimes locked. There is a 19th-century X-ray machine down there.<br />
<br />
===Old Jail===<br />
<br />
The [[Old Jail]], just east of [[GDH]], contains faculty offices. It also holds the [[Lincoln Studies Center]] and the [[Underground Railroad Freedom Station]], as well as an actual [[jail]] in the back. The jail is multilevel and quite impressive. If you get a chance, opt to take the tour.<br />
<br />
===CFA===<br />
<br />
Officially known as [[Ford Center for the Fine Arts]]. This holds the [[Art Department|Art]], [[Theatre and Dance Department|Theatre and Dance]], and [[Music Department|Music]] departments. The main venue is the [[Harbach Theatre]], which is the [[mainstage]] for theatre productions and is across the lobby corridor from the former [[Office of Admission]], which is currently a study lounge even though we all know it should be a coffee shop. [[Kresge Recital Hall]] is used more often for speakers and musical performances, and for [[First-Year Orientation]]. It's on the south side of the main lobby. In the basement by the eastern stairwell is the [[Studio Theatre]], used for smaller, usually [[student]]-directed, shows. The south wing of CFA is the [[music]] wing, and contains offices, recital halls, practice rooms, and the [[Music Library]] on the second floor. On the north side of the lobby is the main art exhibition space, around an obviously curved wall. Inside this wall is the [[Round Room]], which would be the coolest room on campus if the seating weren't quite as unnecessarily cramped. The [[Office of Financial Aid]] sits above the Office of Admission on the second floor.<br />
<br />
CFA has the same effect that created the term SMC rat, for science students, but without a name. You will get stuck in CFA if you commit to theatre or music. You will spend way more time in it than most people think is necessary. And you will, for some reason, feel compelled to visit it when you have nothing to do because there is inevitably someone, usually a group of someones, who have the same problem and will be more than happy to talk about things with you on the CFA patio because they don't know what to do with their time away from CFA either. If you have money you can buy a t-shirt that reads "CFA Ate My Soul."<br />
<br />
===Memorial Gym===<br />
<br />
The [[Memorial Gym]] holds most of the important athletic facilities on campus. It is tucked behind [[CFA]] and the [[track]]. Inside is a [[basketball]] court on the first floor. In the basement there is a woefully small [[natatorium]] (pool). This used to be easy to break into, but then they changed the lock. On the second floor there are offices for low-seniority faculty, as well as the headquarters of the [[Black Studies Program]]. The new-looking, floor-to-ceiling windowed section is the [[E. & L. Andrew Fitness Center]].<br />
<br />
Some other facilities, specifically for dance, are located in the [[Aux Gym|Auxiliary Gym]], between [[CFA]] and [[GDH]].<br />
<br />
===Other Places on Campus===<br />
<br />
In addition to the buildings described above, there are numerous other, smaller places on campus that are worth noting.<br />
<br />
In terms of classroom and meeting space, there are several other areas. One, the [[Compass Room]], is a meeting and class room located on the second floor in the center of the [[Townhouses]], which are upperclass housing on the northeast corner of [[South Street|South]] and [[Cedar Street|Cedar]] streets. On class schedules it will show up as 251E in reference to the building's address, 251 South West St., and the letter E as coming after Townhouses [[Townhouse A|A]] through [[Townhouse D|D]]. It has a [[kitchen]]. Another, the [[Wilson House]], is sometimes used for [[class]]es, and is located next to [[TKE]]. It also has a kitchen. There is also the [[Center for Intercultural Life]], a small house adjoined to [[Simonds Hall]] (part of [[Four-Name]]). The [[Center for Teaching and Learning]] is used for tutoring and other functions, and is on [[West St.]], south of the parking lot.<br />
<br />
Major named lawns include the [[South Lawn]] (south of [[Old Main]]) and [[Post Lawn]] (between [[Post]] and [[Seymour]]). There are [[Meridian Tennis Courts|tennis courts]] just east of the [[Quad]]s, and a track east of those. On the other side of [[Knox St.]] there is a [[soccer field]] and the [[Knox Bowl]], a [[football]] field with a manmade hill all around it. [[Pot]] smoking and sledding are popular Knox Bowl activities. Getting caught in there incurs reference to the [[Office of Student Development]].<br />
<br />
The [[Campus Safety]] Office is located on [[Prairie St.]], near [[Berrien St.]] You pick up and drop off your keys there, although you generally do not need to during First-Year Orientation.<br />
<br />
The main convenience store for campus is "The Quickie", the 24-hour [[Quick Sam's Convenience Convenient]] (seriously, that's what the sign says) at the corner of [[South Street|South]] and [[Academy Street|Academy]]. Unlike the [[C-Store]], they sell cigarettes and alcohol.<br />
<br />
==Faculty==<br />
<br />
The [[faculty]] are probably the best thing going at [[Knox]]. Many of Knox's professors are recent [[Ph.D.]] graduates who teach at Knox for a few years before moving to greener pastures, but the [[tenure]]d faculty are none the worse for staying (perhaps, in fact, they are better for it). Those who do stay are generally extremely committed to the teaching-college niche of Knox, as well as the slightly odd nature of the Knox and Galesburg community. Some of them just really like the house they bought, and/or don't want to sell it at a loss in [[Galesburg]]'s anemic real estate market. Students have a lot of contact with professors generally; some too little, some [[sex|too much]].<br />
<br />
A lot of Knox's professors are married to each other, which is another reason they get tenure. Some of them are obvious, like [[Robin Metz]] and [[Elizabeth Carlin-Metz]], or the [[Fineberg]]s. Some of them are less so, like [[Nancy Eberhardt]] and [[Steve Cohn]]. You probably shouldn't badmouth one to the other.<br />
<br />
The overwhelming majority of students get invited to a professor's house at least once. Knox ensures this by having the first-year advisors invite their advisees over for dinner during [[First-year Orientation]]. [[Nick Regiacorte|Nick]] and [[Sunshine Regiacorte]] serve really good pasta. Some of the other professors can't cook and do [[Joy Garden|takeout]] or something. But it's the thought that counts, and now when the [[Office of Admission]] recalculates the number for the admission brochures you'll have to say that you went to a professor's house once.<br />
<br />
==Staff==<br />
Knox has some wonderful [[staff]]. Sadly, most people miss the chance to meet many of them, except for those with whom they have [[campus employment]].<br />
<br />
==Administration==<br />
This well-meaning group of people keeps [[Knox]] on an even keel, charting a course toward [[financial impregnability]], as former [[President of the College|President]] Roger Taylor might say. Members of the administrative offices are part of the staff.<br />
<br />
There are five main departments at Knox, each headed by a Vice President.<br />
<br />
===Teresa L. Amott===<br />
The 19th President of the college, also the first female president, scheduled to take the helm during the 2011-2012 school year. Most Knox students don't know anything about her yet. Check out the articles about her on the Knox website as well as videos of her speeches at Knox and you will be just about as informed as the rest of us. <br />
<br />
===Roger and Anne Taylor===<br />
[[Roger Taylor]] resigned at the end of the 2010-2011 school year from his position as the college president. He used to be a lawyer for [[Kirkland & Ellis LLP]], in [[Chicago]]. He liked to introduce himself as an [[alum]], only for it to eventually dawn on you that he was the president. This is because Knox is humble and down-home. He may have helped you move your things in during [[orientation]]. During [[Commencement]], he pronounced 2007 as twenty-oh-seven. He was very concerned about [[financial impregnability|financial birth control]], and used many techniques, including the [[Endowment|pill]], the [[Natatorium|withdrawal method]], and the messy [[Alumni Hall|partial-birth abortion]]. He likes to tell [[When Roger Met Anne|the story about how he met his wife Anne]] whenever he is within fifteen feet of a podium. If you visited Knox as a [[prospie]], you might have been met by Roger as the tour group stopped outside of his office. This was not an accident; he had the tour guides talk louder so he knew to come out and say hi and prove to you that Knox is humble and down-home. Sometimes he would eat in the [[Caf]] and sit down by random students to make conversation. It was a little [[awkward]].<br />
<br />
[[Anne Taylor]] is Roger's wife. She is also an attorney, and is special counsel for the college. She is no friend of [[Flunk Day]], for the multifarious liability issues. She makes sure Roger remembers people's names. She and Roger lived at [[Ingersoll House]]. A few special functions, such as [[Mortarboard]] induction, might get you a chance to go in.<br />
<br />
===Office of Admission===<br />
Maybe you remember them? The [[Office of Admission]] is headed by Vice President for Enrollment and Dean of Admission [[Paul Steenis]]. You won't have much to do with the Office of Admission proper as a [[student]], but you will likely have dealings with the [[Office of Financial Aid]], under Director [[Terry Jackson]]. They send you a financial aid package, and help you out with student loans and so on (getting them, not paying for them).<br />
<br />
===Office of Advancement===<br />
Headed by Vice President of Advancement [[Beverly Holmes]], the [[Office of Advancement]] is comprised of the [[Office of Alumni Relations]] and the [[Development Office]] (not to be confused with the [[Office of Student Development]]). Their main concern is getting people, especially [[alumni]], to give the school [[money]], because we are [[endowment|poor]] and that course toward financial impregnability won't chart itself. If you wanted a rich school, transfer to bourgeois [[Grinnell]]. Befriend the people who work in this office - they know everything about all the alumni - and they are more helpful getting you in touch with important alums when you need a job than Career Services.<br />
<br />
===Office of Academic Affairs===<br />
The [[Office of Academic Affairs]] is run by [[Larry Breitborde]], Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the College. [[Steve Bailey]] is the Associate Dean of the College, with whom you are likely to have more contact; Dean Bailey is a good person to know, as he can help you with problems large and small, academic and personal. This office is in charge of the [[faculty]] and most academic resources on campus, including the [[Library|libraries]], the [[Computer Center]], the [[Registrar]], [[Athletics]], the [[Lincoln Studies Center]], and various special programs including [[Honors]], the [[Ford Fellowship]], and the [[McNair Program]]. It also oversees all [[Faculty Advisor]]s, who help you pick classes. The [[Honor Code]] and [[Honor Board]] are considered parts of this Office.<br />
<br />
====Registrar====<br />
The [[Office of the Registrar]] is part of the Office of Academic Affairs. The Registrar is responsible for transcripts and grade reporting, and maintains your [[Educational Development Report]] (EDR). The Registrar's website, accessible [http://www.knox.edu/registrar.xml here], also has the most recent copy of the [[Knox College Catalog]], and the [[Academic Calendar]] for this and past years. The Registrar is responsible for class location assignments and class placement as well, and their system is what advisors log into to sign you up for classes.<br />
<br />
The current Registrar is [[Sheryl Kristensen]]. [[Karen Benedict]] is the office manager; your e-mails about class assignments and [[closeout]]s will come from her.<br />
<br />
====Computer Center====<br />
They are in charge of [[computer]]s, including both students' computers and the [[computer lab]]s. They also administer the Knox servers, which include your [[e-mail]] account, [[webmail]], [[home account]] (where you can store files you work on in computer labs on the server), and the wireless and wired [[Internet]] connections, and network printeres. The [[Computer Help Desk]] is also part of the Center. They maintain a lot of information about how to connect to the network at Knox. They also have a package of antivirus software that you're required to use. Winding up with a virus is no fun, but its less fun when you get quarantined (no internet access) and have to pay them to fix it for you. Their website is [http://www.knox.edu/computercenter.xml here]. The Steves - [[Steve Jones]] and [[Steve Hall]] - run this department.<br />
<br />
===Office of Student Development===<br />
The [[Office of Student Development]] is run by [[Xavier Romano]], Vice President for Student Development and Dean of Students. Xavier likes bow ties, and he probably thinks you're okay too. Xavier controls a [[Xavier Romano's Slush Fund|slush fund]]. Xavier also sends out the e-mail announcing when [[Flunk Day]] season begins, and when it is in fact Flunk Day. [[Debbie Southern]] is the Associate Dean for Student Development, and is in charge of [[Orientation]] and judicial affairs; when [[Campus Safety]] refers you to the Office of Student Development, you make an appointment with her to have your [[consequences|wrist slapped]]. This Office controls primarily nonacademic student affairs, the exception being the [[Center for Teaching and Learning]]. Other subordinate departments include the [[Campus Life Office]], the [[Conduct Council]], the [[Grievance Panel]], the [[Center for Career and Pre-Professional Development]], the [[Center for Community Service]], the [[Center for Intercultural Life]] (which is in charge of advising international students), the [[Counseling Center]], [[Health Services]] (which it outsources), and the [[TRIO Achievement Program]] for low-income students. They work with faculty committees such as the [[Student Life Committee]].<br />
<br />
====Campus Life====<br />
The [[Campus Life Office]], headed by [[Craig Southern]] (Debbie Southern's husband), is in charge of [[housing]] and [[student activities]]. It decides where you will live as a first-year, and it controls the [[Housing Lottery]] for returning students each [[Spring Term]]. It also plans student activities and events, working with [[Union Board]]. If you need to change rooms or register a [[party]], this is your go-to office. [[Cindy Wickliffe]], the secretary, coordinates a lot of campus events, so chances are signups for them will be at her desk. She is also the contact person for [[club]]s who need their [[copy card]] or information on their budgets. She will send you a lot of e-mails. Do not hit reply.<br />
<br />
====Center For Teaching and Learning====<br />
The [[CTL]] is run by [[John Haslem]], and is in charge of [[tutoring]] services. They organize weekly tutoring sessions in the [[Red Room]], and provide other services in that capacity. They also directly administrate the [[TRIO program]]. The CTL is located in a house along [[West St.]]<br />
<br />
====Conduct Council====<br />
The [[Conduct Council]] is the catch-all disciplinary tribunal for students and student organizations – all cases, except those involving academic dishonesty, discrimination, and sexual misconduct, are directed here. They operate by the rules of their constitution, accessible [http://www.knox.edu/x12121.xml here]. They are able to [[expel]] you. If you are cited with an [[alcohol violation]] which you do not admit to (and usually you did do it), you will be brought before the Conduct Council. They won't expel you for that, though – a $40 fine is standard.<br />
<br />
====Grievance Panel====<br />
The [[Grievance Panel]] is convened to hear cases of sexual harassment, discrimination, and sexual misconduct, such as [[rape]]. Since Knox prefers to keep its public reporting requirements down to one rape every other year, it can be difficult to get a good conviction, and in general the Grievance Panel process is convoluted and difficult to use. Conversely, the Galesburg Police Department has no such limit... Their constitution is available [http://www.knox.edu/x12122.xml here].<br />
<br />
===Office of Business, Finance, and Administrative Services===<br />
This department contains the various support services of the college and is run by [[Tom Axtell]], Vice President for Finance and Administrative Services and College Treasurer. Tom Axtell and the finance people calculate [[tuition]] and other fees, and process the money. [[Fundraising]] and the [[endowment]] are the province of the Office of Advancement. Within the Office's voluminous ranks are the [[Business Office]], [[Purchasing]], [[Human Resources]] (for the faculty), [[Postal Services]], the [[Bookstore]], [[Facilities Services]], [[Dining Services]], and [[Campus Safety]].<br />
<br />
====Business Office====<br />
They're the ones you send [[tuition]] to. If you don't pay it on time, [[Penny Young]] will be breathing down your neck. If you're always late she will know your name, and this is a bad thing. If she knows your name, it means she doesn't like you. The Business Office also handles disbursement of checks for [[campus employment]]. They will desperately want you to sign up for [[Direct Deposit]].<br />
<br />
====Postal Services====<br />
The [[mailroom]], basically. [[Neill Unger]] is in charge here. They also have the keys to [[Copy Services]].<br />
<br />
====Bookstore====<br />
Knox's [[bookstore]] is small but determined. They have a wide array of Knox apparel, and some choice books that nobody has ever bought ever, including 50,000 copies of ''[[Colleges That Change Lives]]''. They carry textbooks for [[class]]es, although often the prices are unfathomably high.<br />
<br />
====Facilities Services====<br />
[[Facilities Services|The custodians and maintenance folks]]. They clean your bathroom and take out your garbage, so be nice to them ([[KARES]] handles your [[recycling]] for the time being). They will [[Bed lofting|loft your bed]] if you put in a [[work order]], and they also do various building upkeep and some remodeling work. [[Scott Maust]] heads this department. He likes it when people make tracks in the [[snow]], because then he can see where he needs to build new sidewalks.<br />
<br />
====Dining Services====<br />
[[Dining Services]] includes all dining facilities on the Knox campus and their employees. [[Steve Farris]] was the director, until he passed away suddenly at the beginning of September, 2007. Dining Services is now headed by [[Helmut Mayer]]. Write a comment card to him in German sometime; it's fun. Unlike many other colleges, Dining Services is not outsourced (some time ago, [[Sodexho]] had the contract). The employees have a union and are fairly well-paid for food service workers. The food quality has improved dramatically since the new director got here. You now can eat pretty authentic ethnic dishes and the vegetarian and vegan option have increased many fold. If you want to eat well and healthy or prefer the greasy stuff, you can, and more so with a little creativity. Actually, you probably won't be that creative, so shut up and eat a [[breakfast bagel]].<br />
<br />
====Campus Safety====<br />
[[Campus Safety]] is the Knox security force. [[John Schlaf]], the former [[Galesburg]] [[Galesburg Police Department|Chief of Police]], heads the department. Although Campus Safety is nominally meant to enforce the law, the college philosophy is to focus on safety instead of the legal [[drinking]] age. Nonetheless, if they see [[beer|it]], they will usually confiscate it.<br />
<br />
==Galesburg==<br />
[[Galesburg]] is a city of 33,000 people. Galesburg was founded along with Knox by abolitionists. Later on, it became a major [[railroad]] hub, and at one point had one of the largest [[railyards]] in [[North America]]. It was also the first yard to use hump-sorting, which is basically putting cars up on a hill and letting them roll where they're supposed to go. The railyards are currently owned by [[Burlington Northern Santa Fe]]. Rail emanates from Galesburg in several different directions, and as such two transcontinental passenger trains, the [[California Zephyr]] and the [[Southwest Chief]], serve Galesburg. The main railroad line runs just along the edge of Knox; the [[Memorial Gym]] is visible from the train when coming in from the west.<br />
<br />
Due to the railroad activity, Galesburg has a dozen sides of the tracks, all of them wrong. Some of them are less wrong than others, though. The least wrong one is the area where most professors live, north of downtown Galesburg past [[Water St.]], along [[Cherry St.]] and environs. Numerous railroad crossings make commutes in Galesburg unpredictable.<br />
<br />
Knox College occupies a position just south of downtown, separating [[downtown]] from Galesburg's [[Meth Lab District]] on the south and west sides of the school.<br />
<br />
===Vitals===<br />
Galesburg's ZIP code is 61401. The area code is 309. Galesburg is part of the 17th district of Illinois for the [[U.S.]] House. It is the county seat of [[Knox County]].<br />
<br />
In 2000, Galesburg's population was 33,706. The median per capita income in 2000 was $17,214, the median household income was $31,987. The median house value was about $65,400. This was previous to the [[Maytag]] closure, so all these numbers have undoubtedly decreased. <br />
<br />
===Climate===<br />
Galesburg is characterized by warm, humid [[summer]]s and cold, somewhat drier [[winter]]s. In the early [[fall]], late [[spring]], and summer, it will be very difficult to live without [[air conditioning]], but most [[residence hall]]s do not offer it. Heating is available using [[radiator]]s. [[Snow]]fall is significant, but there generally are not more than two or three storms a year that bring sufficient snow for sledding. [[Ice storm]]s are fairly common.<br />

<br />
===Address System===<br />
Galesburg, like many cities, is organized on a grid system, with address numbers radiating out from a central zero point. In Galesburg, that zero point is the [[Public Square]] roundabout at the intersection of [[Main Street|Main]] and [[Broad Street|Broad]] streets. Main runs east-west, and Broad runs north-south. Cardinal directions are used on most street names to distinguish between north and south or east and west addresses (for instance, [[Old Main]]'s address is 2 East [[South St.]], which places it just east of Broad St. along South St.). This leads to inadvertently funny street combinations, like the intersection of South [[West Street|West]] and West South streets.<br />
<br />
===Background===<br />
Galesburg has long been a railroad town. It also used to have a large [[Maytag]] refrigerator plant. That plant was the area's largest employer, until the Maytag company decided to pack up the profitable Galesburg plant and move it to [[Reynosa, Mexico]]. Decisions like this ultimately destabilized Maytag, and now the brand is owned by Whirlpool. There is little love for Maytag in Galesburg; one organization bought one of the last Galesburg Maytag refrigerators and a sledgehammer and held a $2 a whack fundraiser. They raised a lot of money. Since then the economy has been flagging – a number of the stores [[downtown]] have closed, and some people have left the area. Many have gone to school to retrain for other work, flooding the nursing market, for instance. Some [[Non-traditional student|attended Knox for a few years]]. Other Maytag employees have ended up working at Knox, including a substantial number in [[Dining Services]].<br />
<br />
While Maytag is the most recent and the touchstone example, it is one in a long string of setbacks for Galesburg, including the withdrawal of the [[Galesburg Mental Health Center]], the [[Gale Products Manufacturing Division]] of Outboard Marine Corp., and others, resulting in the loss of nearly 8000 good-paying union jobs.<br />
<br />
Galesburg has also been hit with [[methamphetamines]], which for many is now a popular pastime. The town has been working at getting on its feet, attempting to use its railroad proximity to attract [[China|Chinese]] investors, with some success. Still, the area's largest employer is [[Farmland Foods]], a pig slaughterhouse in [[Monmouth]]. [[Burlington Northern Santa Fe]], Knox, and the local community college, [[Carl Sandburg College]], are major employers as well. <br />
<br />
Galesburg will soon be home to the [[Railroad Hall of Fame]]. It is also the site of [[Railroad Days]] and the national [[Stearman Fly-In]].<br />
<br />
===Downtown Galesburg===<br />
Downtown Galesburg is, more or less, the area bordered by [[South St.]] to the south, [[North St.]] to the north, [[West St.]] to the west, and [[Seminary St.]] to the east. The entirety is within easy walking distance of the college.<br />
<br />
Seminary St. is the restored old-timey city center. A developer came in and paved the street with brick, and put $1000 a month apartments on the upper floors of the shops, apparently thinking that he was in Martha's Vineyard at the time. It is nonetheless a nice area, if sometimes a little upmarket for college students. Strung along Seminary are [[Innkeeper's Coffee]], [[Cornucopia]] (a miniature Trader Joe's sort of natural foods place), [[Uncle Billy's Bakery]] (connected to Cornucopia – the spinach bread is the single best thing about Galesburg), [[Chez Willy's]] (as haute cuisine as Galesburg will ever get, but rather expensive), [[Stone Alley Books and Collectibles]] (amazing), [[The Landmark]] (not quite as formal, a little less expensive, and also very good – try the lobster bisque), [[The Packinghouse]] (a steakhouse, just off Seminary on Mulberry St.), the [[Seminary St. Pub]], a [[wine bar]] on the street behind Seminary (Chambers St.), and the Amtrak station.<br />
<br />
[[Cherry St.]] is three blocks east of Seminary, and is the locus of the [[Local bars|bar scene]], with [[McGillacuddy's]] (which is where [[Jazz Night]] is held on Thursdays, open to all ages), [[Cherry Street Bar and Grill]], [[GP's Lounge]], and [[Duffy's]].<br />
<br />
[[Main St.]] also has a number of destinations. Along Main you will find the [[Dollar General]] thrift store, [[Joy Garden]] Chinese takeout and delivery, most of the banks including a [[Wells Fargo]] and an [[Associated Bank]], and the [[Broadview]]. In terms of bars there is [[Crappy's]], [[La Mesa]], and [[Big John's Silver Dollar Saloon]].<br />
<br />
Other popular places downtown include [[Pizza House]] and [[Kaldi's]] (both on [[Simmons St.]]). The [[Knox County Courthouse]] is an old-looking building with a tower, located at Cherry and South streets. The local congressman, [[Phil Hare]], has his district office near Broad and Water streets. The [[Galesburg Public Library]] is located at Simmons and Broad, and the [[Galesburg City Hall]] on Broad between Simmons and [[Tompkins Street|Tompkins]] streets. The tallest building in Galesburg is the fifteen-story round brick building at the corner of Simmons and [[Cedar Street|Cedar]] streets. It holds old people. The [[Knox County Jail]] and the offices of the [[Register-Mail]] newspaper are located on [[Prairie St.]], between Simmons St. and Tompkins St. The [[Orpheum Theatre]] is on [[Kellogg Street]], just south of Main.<br />
<br />
Many of Knox's off-campus students live in the downtown area. Examples include the [[Dude Ranch]], [[Graveyard House]], and the [[Yellow Apartments]].<br />
<br />
===North Henderson Street===<br />
The other major shopping district in Galesburg is the area around North [[Henderson Street]] and [[Carl Sandburg Drive]]. This is the more typical big-box [[suburb]]an shopping area, and generally you have to access it by car. It features the [[Carl Sandburg Mall]], which is basically a [[Sears]], [[K-Mart]], [[JC Penney]], and [[Bergner's]] with a few shops in the hallways between them. A [[Hy-Vee]] grocery store is there, and there is a [[Target]] just west of Henderson on Carl Sandburg. The [[YMCA]] and the [[Showplace 8]] movie theater are further along Carl Sandburg, near the intersection with [[Fremont St.]] There is a [[Staples]] on National Blvd., but the turnoff is confusing and half the time you'll end up on [[Highway 34]], so it's easier to head to the [[Lowe's]] parking lot off Carl Sandburg east of Henderson, and cut through there. Further south on Henderson, there is a sex shop, [[Romantix]], located at the intersection of Henderson and Losey streets. There is also a standalone [[Hy-Vee Wine and Spirits]] on Henderson, and an [[Econofoods]]. There are several restaurants along the road, including [[Old Peking]], [[New China Buffet]], the [[Rib Shack]], [[Perkins]], [[La Gondola]], and fast food restaurants like [[Taco Bell]] and [[Arby's]].<br />
<br />
===Eastern Galesburg===<br />
The area east of the [[BNSF]] mainline is less traveled by Knox students, but has some useful resources. The popular Mexican restaurant [[Jalisco's]] and another [[Hy-Vee]] (with an attached [[Hy-Vee Wine and Spirits]]), are all on [[Main St.]] The [[Carl Sandburg]] birthplace is a favorite for nighttime pilgrimages, and is located at the corner of [[Third Street|Third]] and [[Kellogg Street|Kellogg]] streets, accessible from the [[Third Street Overpass]].<br />
<br />
===North Cherry Street===<br />
[[Cherry St.]] north of downtown has some of Galesburg's nicest houses, and thus most of the professors live in this area. [[Cottage Hospital]], the main hospital for students, is located at the corner of Kellogg and Losey streets.<br />
<br />
===Outside of Town===<br />
[[Lake Storey]] is a lake north of [[Highway 34]] off of Henderson St. It has a playground and some boat rides, and a nice park. You can't really swim in the thing though.<br />
<br />
The [[Hill Correctional Center]] is Galesburg's lovely prison. It is located on the southwest edge of town, on N [[Linwood Road]].<br />
<br />
Next to the prison is the old [[Maytag]] plant, off of [[Monmouth Blvd.]]<br />
<br />
==ID Cards and Faces==<br />
All Knox students receive an [[ID card]]. The ID card contains the [[student]]'s name, photograph, ID number, date of birth, and the card's expiration date (one week after the expected date of graduation). The ID card is grey, and the photograph is generally ugly. The cards are not particularly durable, and even after less than one year the lamination will peel, the photograph will fade (and none too soon), and and card body may even start to crack. Some student punch holes in their cards so they can be put on keyrings, but this greatly reduces the life of the card. The back of the card has a magnetic strip for use in swiping [[meals]] and using [[Dining Dollars]] and [[Flex Dollars]]. There are plans to integrate card-swipe entry for [[residence hall]] doors, but as yet there are none with this feature.<br />
<br />
ID cards are made in the [[Dining Services]] office, which is accessed from outside of [[Seymour]] just west of the [[Caf]]. [[Orientation]] groups are assigned to go together to get their ID photos taken, but it is easy enough to go before the scheduled trips start and get it done with no wait at all.<br />
<br />
The photograph taken for your ID photo also ends up on [[Faces]], the student directory. It also ends up on your [[EDR]] and on the attendance sheets for every [[class]] you ever take. That photograph will haunt you until you [[graduate]].<br />
<br />
Lost ID card replacement costs $15. If you want your picture retaken, and the new picture promulgated to Faces and everywhere else, it will set you back $25.<br />
<br />
Your ID number will show up on your ID card as nine digits, but only the last six digits are your real ID number. This number is useful for all sorts of things, so it's good to memorize it. You can find out the ID numbers of other people by going into Faces – the photograph filenames are the ID numbers. This is useful during [[Housing Lottery]].<br />
<br />
==Meals and Eating==<br />
This section deals with your meal plan and dining options.<br />
<br />
===Meal Plan===<br />
Nearly all Knox students are required to purchase a [[meal plan]], which makes up the [[board]] costs of [[tuition]]. A few exceptions are made for students living [[off-campus]] and those with real or faked medical problems. If you're desperate to get off board, a note from your doctor to [[Helmut Mayer]] will do it, although they will not be pleased. Acid reflux disease is a pretty good excuse. A gluten allergy is even better. If you are unfortunately bereft of these afflictions, then "fake it till you make it," as it were, and get your family doctor to lie for you.<br />
<br />
For everyone else, there are five meal plans, all of which cost $1020 per [[term]], or $3060 per year.<br />
<br />
{|<br />
| || '''Meals/Term''' || '''Guest Meals''' || '''Dining Dollars''' || '''Price Per Meal'''<br />
|-<br />
|'''Premier 200''' || 200 || 20 || $75 || $4.73<br />
|-<br />
|'''Premier 150''' || 150 || 15 || $150 || $5.80<br />
|-<br />
|'''Premier 125''' || 125 || 12 || $190 || $6.64<br />
|-<br />
|'''Premier 100''' || 100 || 10 || $225 || $7.95<br />
|-<br />
|'''Premier 75''' || 75 || 7 || $265 || $10.07<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Meals are counted in swipes, and are redeemable at the [[Caf]] and the [[Oak Room]] as one swipe per meal. One can also use them at the [[Grab-n-Go]] locations, where each food item has a point value, and 18 points equals one swipe.<br />
<br />
Guest meals are like meals, but they cannot be used on you. They can be used for visitors, or for fellow students who have lost their cards.<br />
<br />
[[Dining Dollars]] are basically debit cash. They are redeemable only at the [[Gizmo]] and the [[C-Store]], and one Dining Dollar is equal to one [[U.S.]] dollar.<br />
<br />
[[Flex Dollars]], which are not mentioned in the table above, can be optionally added to your card in various increments. They can be used at the Gizmo and the C-Store as well, although Dining Dollars are more common, so if you use Flex Dollars you need to specify that to the cashier. Flex Dollars may also be used on college [[copy machine]]s.<br />
<br />
Keep in mind that meals and dining dollars are not transferable, and they do not roll over to the next term, so don't get the plan with 200 meals if you aren't going to use them. Many students with a huge overage of meals like to buy large amounts of [[soda]] at the Grab-n-Go near the end of each term, but the Grab-n-Go workers quickly tire of this.<br />
<br />
===Dining Options===<br />
The daily and weekly menus can be found on the right-hand side of the [http://www.knox.edu/current-students.html "Current Students"] section of the Knox website.<br />
<br />
====[[The Hard Knox Cafe]] (The Caf)====<br />
This is the main eating area, featuring aal you can eat buffet-style food with a mid-80s ambience. The offerings change daily, and the menu runs on a five week cycle. There are a large number of [[vegetarian]] options, with [[vegan]] choices not far behind. If you have to eat gluten free you can. Same goes for most food allergies. All prepared foods are labeled so that yu can see calories, ingredients and allergens.<br />
<br />
=====Breakfast=====<br />
The Caf offers a small [[breakfast]] on most mornings, including a limited omelet bar, and some small variety of breakfast food, including a wide variety of cereals. [[Sunday brunch]] is much more extensive, as it is basically lunch, and offers breakfast staples such as pancakes and the omelet bar along with Sunday brunch specials like chicken strips and tortellini.<br />
<br />
From Monday to Saturday breakfast is offered from 7:30-10:00AM. Sunday brunch is available from 10:00AM to 2:00PM.<br />
<br />
=====Lunch=====<br />
At [[lunch]] there is a larger variety of food, including pasta, a salad bar, soup, a hamburger grill, pizza, and a sandwich bar, plus offerings that change from day to day. There is a toaster oven and two panini grills where you can make anything from a grilled cheese sandwich to a quesadilla. Dessert options, including ice cream, soft serve yogurt and baked specials. Cereal is available all day.<br />
<br />
Lunch is available from 11:00AM to 2:00PM. Sunday brunch is 10:00AM to 2:00PM.<br />
<br />
=====Dinner=====<br />
[[Dinner]] features the same offerings as lunch, except that the sandwich bar is reduced in size to make way for the [[wok station]], which is sort of a miniature Mongolian BBQ thing. Sometimes there is a [[personal pizza bar]] instead.<br />
<br />
Dinner is available from 4:30PM to 7:30PM, seven days a week.<br />
<br />
====Oak Room====<br />
The [[Oak Room]] is located right next to the Caf and you can cross over from one to the other and back. The atmosphere and the food in the Oak Room are somewhat better. The Oak Room offers a themed menu each day, and the food is served instead of a self-serve buffet. It has ample seating, and is quieter than the Caf. The theme menus range from international street foods to pasta bars and anything in between.<br />
<br />
The Oak Room is open for lunch Monday through Friday from 11:00AM to 1:30PM, and for dinner Monday through Thursday from 5:00PM to 7:00PM. It is closed on weekends, in part so that local high schools can hold their proms there.<br />
<br />
====Gizmo====<br />
The [[Gizmo]] is a snack bar and short-order grill, open all day. Its offerings include soft drinks, coffee, a sub bar, grilled items such as hamburgers and chicken sandwiches, various breakfast items, [[bagel pizza|bagel]] and personal pizzas, and a daily special available during lunchtime. It is most famous for its [[breakfast bagel]].<br />
<br />
The Gizmo is open on Monday through Thursday from 10:00AM to 1:00AM. On Friday and Saturday it is open from 10:00AM to 12:00AM. On Sunday it is open from 2:00PM to 1:00AM. Lunch specials are available while the other eateries are serving lunch. The sub bar generally closes two hours before the Gizmo closes, and the grill closes a half hour before closing.<br />
<br />
====Grab-n-Go====<br />
The [[Grab-n-Go]] is a quick bagged lunch for people who are in too much of a hurry to go to the Gizmo, but not in enough hurry to skip a long line. It offers a daily-changing selection of sandwiches, sides, and drinks. There is one Grab-n-Go in [[Seymour Hall]], and another in [[Post Lobby]].<br />
<br />
====Breakfast Grab-n-Go====<br />
The [[Breakfast Grab-N-Go]] is located in the [[Oak Room]] and works much the same as the lunch one, except with breakfast food and much shorter lines.<br />
<br />
====Outpost====<br />
Don't call it the Outpost, call it the [[C-Store]]. It offers the widest range of drinks on campus, as well as condiments, microwave food, ice, chips, some basic groceries and hygiene products, prophylactics, and over-the-counter medicines. It does not sell [[alcohol]] or [[tobacco]]. The prices and selection are sometimes better at [[Quick Sam's]], and the hours are certainly longer. However, the C-store defnintely carries more natural food/organic/grocery items than the Quickie.<br />
<br />
The C-Store is open Monday through Friday from 8:30AM to 11:00PM, and Saturday and Sunday from 12:00PM to 10:00PM.<br />
<br />
==Advisors and Picking Classes==<br />
Each [[student]], upon matriculation, is assigned their very own [[advisor]], whom they share with some number of other [[first-year]]s, as well as three classes' worth of other students. [[Professor]]s who are in their first year of teaching at Knox are not permitted to take on advisees. For first-years the professor assignment is random, since your [[major]] has not been declared; once your major is declared you have one advisor of your choice (and their consent) for each major, although most people generally decide on one as their primary advisor for picking [[class]]es.<br />
<br />
During [[First-Year Orientation]], as mentioned before, professors are supposed to invite incoming students over for dinner in order to pad the [[admission]] brochures, give [[Dining Services]] some grace time to get their act together, and to a lesser extent to get to know them and have them get to know each other.<br />
<br />
Classes are picked in an advisor's office, by appointments – most advisors have sign-ups posted on their doors for each [[pre-enrollment]] period. At the appointment, there may be some discussion of your academic track and so on, based on whatever your circumstances are. If you haven't yet done so, they may start urging you to figure out your major or work on your [[Educational Development Plan]]. The professor reviews your [[EDR]], and then ultimately you are allowed to pick classes, which usually you have pre-selected using the [[class schedule]] mailed to you (either to home for incoming first-years or to your campus mailbox for all other terms). The professor enters your selections into the computer, and undertakes (or not, as the case may be) to give "instructor permission" or override prerequisites.<br />
<br />
If a chosen class is nearly full, they may encourage students with less seniority to take something else. After the pre-enrollment period, the numbers are totaled up, and after setting aside spaces for the sign-ups who have to have the class, they perform a lottery for everyone else. This is intended to keep it fair between early and late sign-ups; however, since advisors can see the current totals, you're more likely to get placed in your top choices, at least at first, if you sign up early.<br />
<br />
==Campus Employment==<br />
Most [[campus employment]] opportunities are offered with prejudice to students who have [[work-study]] allotments as part of their [[Financial Aid]] package. Some programs allow non-work-study students to sign up several weeks into the term, if there is any space remaining, and some of the less formal ones don't necessarily care as much one way or the other.<br />
<br />
Work-study allotments can be for up to ten hours a week, which, under the $7.50 minimum wage in effect for 2007-2008, amounts to about $2250 for the year. You actually pay to the school the entirety of the allotment as part of the [[tuition]] checks; the actual work-study done is then "reimbursed" to you through paychecks. The caveat here is that few students will get paychecks amounting to the full amount. The income, after all, may be taxable. Also, there is a shortage of work-study positions on campus (at the very least, while there is a mathematical equality, the actual difficulties of holding multiple work-study jobs to fill smaller voids lead to some amount of de facto campus unemployment or underemployment).<br />
<br />
For incoming first-years there is a [[job fair]] held in [[CFA]]. Those who don't get offers from that may have to go around to specific places and ask (this is how it's done for everyone else). The [[Dining Services]] office, where your [[ID card]] was made, is where signups are for all Dining Services positions.<br />
<br />
Student employee positions are of three types: monitors (for instance in the computer labs), service employees (for instance in Dining Services), and office-ish work ([[libraries]], [[publication]] [[editor]]s, and sundry departments).<br />
<br />
However, there are also departmental jobs that you gain after a year of being at school, most notably through the [[Theatre]] which includes jobs of skill like the [[Scene Shop]], [[Costume Shop]], and Departmental Dramaturg.<br />
<br />
Generally, the least desirable positions are considered to be those in Dining Services and [[Facilities Services]]. The most desirable positions are library jobs and some of the office work, most of which is only available to returning students who have a rapport with the particular office. Facilities and Dining positions aren't necessarily bad, however, and some students have opted to work in the same position for several years at a time. Dining Services is also first-come, first-serve, and does not offer advantage based on seniority. The [[Gizmo]] used to run its schedule separately and did give weight to seniority, but then Dining Services stole it. The other big advantage to Dining Services work is that it offers a $100 bonus beyond one's work-study allotment for students who work 90% of their scheduled shifts.<br />
<br />
Many positions must tabulate their hours using [[KRONOS]], the employment computer system. Some Dining Services employees only have to swipe their ID card in and out. Some of the office positions have tallying by hand, or are basically salaried for a particular number of hours regardless of what is worked.<br />
<br />
===Off-Campus===<br />
Some students choose to work off-campus. Some places employing students are [[Innkeeper's]], [[Kaldi's]], [[Chez Willy's]], and [[Cornucopia]]. Those with cars and a lot of time may commute to Peoria or the Quad Cities to work.<br />
<br />
==Honor Code==<br />
The [[Honor Code]] is Knox's policy of academic honesty. It was adopted in 1951. Many students have learned all about the principles of academic honesty in [[high school]]; some haven't; some haven't and think they have. All students, regardless of prior instruction in the matter, should thoroughly read the Honor Code booklet, which is sent to all first-years by mail. Knox considers all students as having read and agreed to it by matriculating, and thus students will be held fully liable for failure to comply with the Honor Code. A PDF copy of the pamphlet is available [http://www.knox.edu/prebuilt/PDFs/HonorBooklet.pdf here].<br />
<br />
The Honor Code basically says that the school trusts students not to cheat, but if they do the school will pull no punches. As part of the trust component, professors are not supposed to monitor students during exams, and students are allowed to take exams anywhere in the building (except bathrooms and other nonpublic areas). However, students are expected to report suspicious behavior to the [[Honor Board]], and professors are required to – they are not allowed to deal with cases of alleged academic dishonesty informally.<br />
<br />
===Honor Board===<br />
The [[Honor Board]] is the enforcer of the Honor Code, and the tribunal for students accused of academic dishonesty. It is comprised of nine students, three from each class, as well as two members of the faculty. The co-chairs of Honor Board for 2009-2010 are [[Carrie Bueche]] and [[Hannah Cynn]]. <br />
<br />
When a student is accused of academic dishonesty, the Honor Board is convened to hear the evidence and various sides of the story. Verdicts have generally been for guilty, since Knox makes it rather difficult to get caught in the first place. The standard penalty for the first offense is an F in the class; for the second, [[expulsion]]. Deviations are rarely made, and certainly not for professed ignorance. Again, you should probably read that pamphlet.<br />
<br />
Honor Board decisions may be appealed on three grounds: new evidence, procedural error, or Honor Board bias. Appeals are heard by an appeals committee consisting of the [[Dean of the College]] and one Honor Board member.<br />
<br />
If you are wealthy, or your parents are [[alumni]] and/or have been generous in their giving to the school, certain officials of the [[administration]] have been rumored to be willing to intervene on your behalf in order to satisfy [[financial impregnability|higher goals]]. The reality and frequency of this intervention is unclear.<br />
<br />
==Campus Safety and Discipline==<br />
[[Campus Safety]] is Knox's security force. They make rounds of the school, unprop doors, pour out beer, and the like. Sometimes they drive around in a heavy-duty golf cart. Their Knox extension is x7979.<br />
<br />
Campus Safety maintains the emergency phones located throughout campus (they have blue lights on them). They manage keys, and maintain the [[Escort]] program for nighttime walking. If you need to get into a campus building (such as [[WVKC]]), or you are locked out of your room, Campus Safety lets you in. You get two free [[lockout]]s for your room each year, and after that they charge you. Lost keys cost $50 to replace.<br />
<br />
Campus Safety also breaks up [[parties]], or drops in on registered parties to ensure that there is not any illicit [[alcohol]] service. However, on the whole they are more concerned with making sure nobody is in danger, and only address alcohol violations when they are obvious.<br />
<br />
[[John Schlaf]], the [[Campus Safety Director]], used to be the Chief of the [[Galesburg Police Department]], so Knox and the GPD have a close working relationship.<br />
<br />
===Alcohol Violation===<br />
If you are caught in an alcohol violation, one of two things may happen to you. At a large party, for instance, your drink may be confiscated without consequence. However, at smaller events he will ask for your ID card, and from it ascertain your name and date of birth. If you don't have it on you they will identify you from [[Faces]]. You will be cited, and within a few days the [[Office of Student Development]] will contact you to have you make an appointment with [[Debbie Southern]]. The proceedings for this are not sent home, even if you are on break, and your parents are not informed, even if you are a minor at the time. At your appointment, Debbie Southern tells you your options, and you can either admit the crime and pay the fine or go to a [[Conduct Council]] hearing to deny it. Sometimes she will dismiss the case herself if you have sufficient evidence to your benefit. The procedure is not at all harrowing, and the questioning is very limited. The standard fine for an alcohol violation is $40, payable in cash or as an addition to the student account at the [[Business Office]].<br />
<br />
Also, be nice to Debbie, she is not evil and is not out to get you. She's a geniunely nice person and understands college life, possibly better than some of the students. You have nothing to gain from going into her office in a bad mood and defenses up. She's not going to yell at you or make you feel bad. She just needs to know what happened.<br />
<br />
==Student Government==<br />
Knox maintains a substantial student government in order to, at least in theory, ensure the students' voice is heard. Which students? Well, that's a matter for debate.<br />
<br />
The chief part of student government is the [[Student Senate]]. The other major entity is [[Union Board]]. There is also an [[Intramurals Board]] and two Greek governance organizations, the [[Interfraternity Council]] and the [[Panhellenic Council]]. [[Honor Board]], [[Conduct Council]], and the [[Grievance Panel]] have significant student roles, but have been described above.<br />
<br />
===Student Senate===<br />
[[Student Senate]] is the [[Knox]] [[student]] body's primary legislative organization. It seats fifty senators, elected using plurality bloc voting by single- and multi-member districts, which are currently drawn by Senate's [[Executive Board]] each year. The Executive Board is comprised of a President, a Vice-President, a Treasurer, a Communications Officer, and the chairs of five committees (totaling eight, since the Treasurer is chair of the [[Finance Committee]]). Each of the fifty members of Senate belongs to one of these committees. Students are also drawn from Senate to serve as student representatives on faculty committees.<br />
<br />
Elections for district senators take place during [[Fall Term]] each year, and those elected take their seats by the beginning of October. Elections for officers take place each [[Spring Term]].<br />
<br />
Senate has advisory powers on all aspects of Knox's governance, and may pass resolutions expressing the sense of the Senate and its recommendations. These are often ignored; sometimes they are not. Senate members also work within the faculty committees and with the administration to effect their wishes. Senate's primary special power is the allotment of budget money to the various clubs on campus, both in yearly budgets and through the [[Senate Discretionary Fund]].<br />
<br />
Senate meets in the [[Round Room]] in [[CFA]] on Thursdays at 7:00PM. <br />
<br />
====Criticism of Student Senate====<br />
Student Senate has borne criticism on many different issues over the past several years. What democracy exists in the Senate was only introduced about five years ago, when Senate was changed from a self-appointing body to an elected one. However, some trends against democracy have been noted.<br />
<br />
In [[Spring Term 2007]], Senate voted to limit those eligible to run for President to those who had served on Senate for a year. This was an attempt to ensure that the chair of Senate meetings was already familiar with the procedures, but it was seen by many as a step away from democracy.<br />
<br />
Moreover, after Senate adjourned for [[Summer Break 2007]], the incoming Executive Board, using a questionable interpretation of the [[Text of Student Senate Constitution and By-Laws|Senate Constitution]], amended the By-Laws to [[Student Senate#Executive Board By-Laws Rewrite 2007|drastically alter key parts of Senate procedures]], so that all resolutions proposed by Student Senate would have to go through committee. This means that the Executive Board now has power to approve or deny the passage of a resolution based upon the opinions of an eight-person Executive Board, or even so small a group as the committee chair or the Senate President. Many senators have protested what appears, to them, to be a reduction to rubber-stamp status, without an opportunity to vote on it; the Executive Board intends to introduce the changes at the first Senate meeting as a fait accompli.<br />
<br />
Senate's electoral procedures have also been under fire in the past. Senate currently allows the Vice-President to draw new districts each year, leading to arbitrary and inconsistent district shapes and sizes. Some have alleged that this has also resulted in gerrymandering, most notably increasing the representation of certain small groups, of which [[TKE]] is the most notable. The use of plurality bloc voting, which allows voters to vote for as many candidates as there are positions, ensures that a small bloc of people voting together can disproportionately control the outcome in the district.<br />
<br />
There are fears that the current Executive Board will prove to be more amenable to the interests of the administration than those of the students.<br />
<br />
Publicity is also an issue. While Senate meetings are open to the public, the minutes taken and distributed to the school are not complete, and often butcher whatever the speakers were saying. Committee meetings are open to the public, but no minutes are taken. Executive Board meetings generally do not encourage public involvement, and no minutes are taken. This is especially notable because the Executive Board has directed more decisions through these less public channels.<br />
<br />
===Union Board===<br />
The [[Union Board]] is in charge of organizing major events on campus of all different shapes and sizes. They are most famous for organizing [[Flunk Day]].<br />
Union Board regularly receives criticism for the events it holds. When it was holding a number of smaller events, students wanted one big event. When they brought in [[Pablo Francisco]] (the biggest comedian Knox has the clout to book), the students didn't like it. Union Board cannot please all the people all the time.<br />
<br />
Then again, there are many who would say they pleased nobody.<br />
<br />
===Intramurals Board===<br />
The Intramurals Board is the organization in charge of intramural sports, such as [[Ultimate Frisbee]] or [[Dodgeball]] and more traditional sports. They are much less formalized and skill-conscious than the [[Athletics Department]].<br />
<br />
===Interfraternity and Panhellenic councils===<br />
The [[Interfraternity Council]] and the [[Panhellenic Council]] are the governing bodies for male and female Greek organizations. They address some judicial matters as well as plan events and so forth.<br />
<br />
==Publications and Radio==<br />
Knox maintains several [[publication]]s and one [[WVKC|radio station]]. Most of these publications are overseen and funded through the [[Broadcast, Internet, and Publications Board]] (Board of Publications), a subcommittee of the [[Student Life Committee]].<br />
<br />
===''The Knox Student''===<br />
''[[The Knox Student]]'', known informally as ''TKS'', is the school newspaper. It comes out weekly on Thursdays. It contains a large variety of information, including feature articles and news, outdated information about last week's Student Senate proceedings, national and international news briefs, the [[Campus Safety Log]] (a list of all [[Campus Safety]] reports and citations, including fire alarms and alcohol violations), movie and music reviews, the [[Mosaic]] culture section, the [[Discourse]] op-ed section, and a sports section. The newspaper office is in the [[S.S. McClure Publications Office]] in Seymour. ''TKS'' is funded through the Board of Publications.<br />
<br />
===''Catch''===<br />
''[[Catch]]'' is Knox's award-winning literary journal. It features mainly creative writing such as short stories and poetry, as well as some [[photography]] for aesthetic appeal. Other genres, such as journalism or critical works, are sometimes accepted, but generally if they offer interest in the [[Creative Writing]] sphere only. Each ''Catch'' issue (there are two each year) is designed differently, with a level of complexity ranging from boringly elegant to matchbook-pasted-to-the-front-cover pretentious. ''Catch'' is a selective publication, and those pieces that are accepted are edited at the whims of the editors. The selection process is blind to help reduce bias. The ''Catch'' office is in the S.S. McClure Publications Office in Seymour. The current Editors-in-Chief are [[Brian Lowe]] and [[Alice Holbrook]]. ''Catch'' is funded through the Board of Publications.<br />
<br />
===''Cellar Door''===<br />
''[[Cellar Door]]'' is a more inclusive literary journal that focuses less on production and more on workshopping and the writing process. It is published about twice a year, using simple staple-bound newsprint. Each issue concentrates on a general theme, such as "Family" or "[[Suburb]]ia." ''Cellar Door'' features articles by [[faculty]] and others as well as by students. All submissions are accepted, so long as the writer is amenable to the workshopping process. Submitters are also required to sign a declaration saying that they love their work. If you don't love your work, stick with ''Catch''. ''Cellar Door'' is funded through the Board of Publications.<br />
<br />
===''Quiver''===<br />
''[[Quiver]]'' is a webzine collective started by several students and [[Robin Metz]]. It is comprised of three separate zines: ''[[The Third Level]]'', which publishes science fiction and fantasy; ''[[Wynken, Blynken, and Nod]]'', which publishes children's literature; and ''[[Diminished Capacity]]'', which publishes humor. Submissions are read collectively by ''Quiver's'' entire editorial board, but each webzine is managed by three of its own editors. It is currently not funded.<br />
<br />
===''The Common Room''===<br />
''[[The Common Room]]'' is an online journal of [[Literature|literary criticism]], begun in response to ''Catch'', which covers the Creative Writing aspects of the [[English Department]]. It is currently not funded.<br />
<br />
===WVKC===<br />
[[WVKC]] (The Voice) is Knox's radio station. The studio is located on the fourth floor of [[GDH]]. Almost all of the DJs are students; there is a signup and orientation meeting near the beginning of each term, advertised throughout campus. WVKC's frequency is 90.7 FM, and the broadcasting radius reaches about 55,000 area residents. WVKC is funded through the Board of Publications.<br />
<br />
==Clubs==<br />
The majority of student activities at Knox come under the auspices of the various student clubs. These clubs receive their funding from Student Senate, and use it as they see fit (subject to various regulations) to produce events and further causes.<br />
<br />
At the beginning of each school year there is a [[Club Fair]] where students can sign up to be on the mailing lists of various clubs.<br />

==Transportation and Getting Out==<br />
This section deals with transportation to, in, and from [[Galesburg]], and other destinations in the area.<br />
<br />
===Getting In===<br />
Galesburg is located at the intersection of [[Interstate 74]] and [[Highway 34]]. To find Galesburg, on a transportation map, look for the bend in I-74 south of the [[Quad Cities]] – that's Galesburg. <br />
<br />
To get to Galesburg from [[I-80]], take I-80 to the Quad Cities, and then go east on I-74.<br />
<br />
For other driving directions, it might be easier to consult a map.<br />
<br />
The nearest airports of consequence to Galesburg are [[Greater Peoria Regional Airport]] (PIA) and [[Quad City International Airport]] (MLI). PIA only has feeder flights to [[Chicago]] [[O'Hare]], but MLI has flights to and from Chicago O'Hare, [[Denver]], [[Dallas-Fort Worth]], [[Atlanta]], [[Detroit]], [[Minneapolis-St. Paul]], [[Las Vegas]], and [[Orlando]]. Due to the higher cost of using these smaller airports, many students fly into Chicago O'Hare (ORD) or Chicago [[Midway]] (MDW) and get a ride or take the [[train]] into Galesburg. Knox offers a shuttle service to PIA and MLI, as well as [[Bradley University]], at the beginning and end of each [[term]]. A small fee is assessed. With prior reservation, you can also book a [[taxi]] ride for $50, if the shuttles do not fit your time needs.<br />
<br />
Galesburg is served by a number of trains, all run by [[Amtrak]]. The [[California Zephyr]] is a transcontinental train running from Chicago to [[San Francisco]] via Denver, with one train per day in each direction. Eastbound trains into Galesburg are late by several hours. The [[Southwest Chief]] is another transcontinental train running from Chicago to [[Los Angeles]] via [[Albuquerque]], and is usually on time. The [[Illinois Zephyr]] is daily service between Chicago and [[Quincy]], with an eastbound train in the morning and a westbound one in the evening. The [[Carl Sandburg (train)|Carl Sandburg]] follows the same route as the California Zephyr, with a westbound train in the morning and an eastbound one in the evening. These short-run trains are largely co-financed by Amtrak and the [[Illinois]] Department of Transportation. The train station is about four blocks from campus.<br />
<br />
===Travel within Galesburg===<br />
Accessing much of downtown is easy by foot, but for reaching the rest of town owning or borrowing a [[car]] or [[bicycle]] is necessary. There are three [[bus]] routes in Galesburg running on complicated loops once each hour, but only until around 6:00PM. The bus terminal is at [[Main Street|Main]] and [[Kellogg Street|Kellogg]] streets, and all three buses depart from there every hour on the hour. The fare is 60 cents. Few use the bus, but if time is not very important it is cheaper than calling a taxi. The schedules and routes can be found [http://www.ci.galesburg.il.us/transit/citybus.htm here].<br />
<br />
Galesburg taxis are sketchy.<br />
<br />
===Getting out of Galesburg===<br />
For those used to the bright lights and big city, Galesburg can feel a little oppressively Galesburg.<br />
<br />
The main destinations close to Galesburg are [[Peoria]] and the [[Quad Cities]], each about 45 minutes away by car on I-74. They offer more shopping and dining options. The nereast actual big cities are [[St. Louis]] and Chicago, each about three hours away by car. Chicago, as mentioned above, can also be reached by train. Within Chicago there is the [[CTA]] and the [[Metra]] for mass transit – Midway lies at the south end of the orange line, and O'Hare at the north end of the blue line on CTA. There are also all the well-known tourist attractions of Chicago. Sadly, it is not close enough to be a common destination, except on the way to the airport, unless you either live in Chicago or have a car.<br />
<br />
==Conclusion==<br />
The Wiki Fire community hopes that this Knox Survival Guide will help you get your bearings quickly and adapt to your new surroundings, bleak and agricultural though they may be. As you spend more time here, you will come to recognize the ineffable [[The Knox Experience|Knox culture]]: the flouncing dramas of the 1350 students, the quirky but lovable periodic incompetence of the [[administration]], the nuances of non-nuance that flow from [[Galesburg]]. If you love Knox, you will find the strangest reasons to love it more, and even if you hate Knox you'll come to have a grudging appreciation of its idiosyncrasies. Or you'll [[transfer]]. Either/or.<br />

== The MudPit ==<br />
''<br />
<br />
This year, the school seems to be taking it all a little more seriously - they have dumped sand and mulch onto it. In response, student organization considers the following; <br />
<br />
1 - We '''understand''' and '''respect''' the obvious safety and cleanliness concerns from the administration.<br />
<br />
2 - However, this does not justify the ending of a nearly century-old student tradition.<br />
<br />
3 - Thus, to address the administration's concerns, we, as responsible students, must make sure we a) have and use hoses to get the mud off before we tramp in, b) don't do '''dumb shit''' like jamming mud in keyholes or throwing our friends around and c) clean as much of the mulch out as possible, to make this doable.<br />
<br />
We have talked to the administration - a long-term solution must come. Ideas include;<br />
<br />
- re-planting the pit/switching out some of the salty, infertile soil for good stuff, and planting flowers for the summer.<br />
<br />
- have sober(er) students to watch the pit<br />
<br />
<---If the administration seriously wanted to stop the mud pit from happening, they would be able to pretty easily. The actions they have taken are the minimums needed to satisfy the insurance company, but otherwise, nobody wants to stop the mud pit. CALM DOWN AND DIG.<br />
<br />
== '''Was 2012 The Final Flunk?''' ==<br />
<br />
'''October 1, 2012''' <br />
There was a large ring around the moon. No flunk day. <--- CONFIRMED. That shit was wack.<br />
<br />
'''November 26, 2012'''<br />
Xavier spotted with his 6-footer [[bong]] ("water-pipe" to undergraduates). Last year he was spotted hopping off a train car full of bums, holding his 6-footer, ripping his shirt off, and screaming "FLUUUUNK" so loud he shattered the [[Gizmo]] Patio and killed the lower branches on many trees, which explains both the replacement of the patio and the removal of a good amount of beloved foliage. This year, though Xavier is almost forgotten among the younger generations of Knox, he made a glorious comeback by returning today with former President [[Roger Taylor]] (also unknown among young Knoxians) in a stretch Cadillac limousine. Reports indicate the limousine "rolled up" to the [[Seymour]] loading dock where, bongs in hand and enveloped in smoke, Xavier and Roger emerged, tipped their purple leopard-print hats at Helmut, and simultaneously exclaimed, "FLUNK DIGGETY, MOTHA FLUNKAS," before entering the steam tunnels where they are to remain until the sacred [[Flunk Day]] rituals commence.<-----CONFIRMED!!!!<br />
<br />
'''December 19, 2012'''<br />
A few days before the end of the world, crows were spotted on campus NOT BEING OBNOXIOUS. Ladies and Gentlemen, the final flunk was definitely in 2012.<br />

Official [[Tim Kasser]] Flunk Day prediction: April 26. The second mention of a Friday this Flunk Day season. This could be huge.<br />
<br />
8:04 p.m.: [[Kaitlyn Duling]] spotted in Gizmo discussing secrets with Union Board members. Secrets of FLUNK????<br />
<br />
'''March 29, 2013'''<br />
Went to Master Stirfry. Got a fortune cookie and it said 'Behold! [[Andrei Papancea]] might be one of the flunk day planners'. ---> THIS COULD BE HUGE ----> Andrei Papancea went to Vegas for spring break. The Killers are from Vegas. Coincidence? I THINK NOT! ---> Fellow Union Board member [[Arnold Salgado]] went to Vegas with Andrei. IT WAS TOTALLY A SECRET FLUNK DAY PLANNING SESSION. ---> Andrei's response to these accusations: "Muahahahaha." Smells fishy...<br />
<br />

<br />
== Flunk Theme 2013 ==<br />
<br />
The Flunk Day Theme of 2013 is SPACE.<br />
Fact: Flunk Day will be replaced by Flunk NIGHT. <br />
<br />
[[File:space_eel.jpg]]<br />
<br />
<br />
== Flunk Predictions ==<br />
<br />
Senior [[Anna Meier]] has a series on [[The Knox Student]]'s website to predict flunk day. You can follow that here: <br />
http://www.theknoxstudent.com/editors/<br />
<br />
Sophomore [[Cody Sehl]] has made a thing of beauty: http://isitflunkdayyet.com/ <-- Confirmed, Cody Sehl is a computer genius.<br />
<br />
The Official [[Sam Martone]] Flunk Day Prediction stands at a bold April 24. <br />
"Things are moving fast on the Flunk front, which means the OSMFDP remains April 24." &mdash; Sam Martone (@s_martone) April 12, 2013 <---Incorrect once again. Sam Martone has never correctly predicted Flunk Day. He has never even been close. <--- Confirmed. Pretty sad.<br />
<br />
== April 1 ==<br />
<br />
At approximately 9:47 p.m, Jessica Howard was spotted in a groutfit while going into the Quickie. She may or may not had been struggling to stand up straight and trouble staying clothed. Is she possibly stocking up on booze for Flunk Day tomorrow? CONFIRMED THIS COULD BE HUGE!<br />
<br />
== April 3 == <br />
All Union Board Events are scheduled for a Friday or Saturday. Smooth move giving us no clues from the UB schedule, Planners.<br />
<br />
10:11 a.m.: TKS rumored to be making the Flunk Day issue tonight. Flunk Day is tomorrow.<br />
<br />
== April 8 ==<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
Freshman will have had their mandatory Flunk day suite meetings by Thursday of this week.<br />
<br />
== April 9 ==<br />
Saw Regina Rosenbruck on the west side of Galesburg walking alone by the sandwich shop on Main. Flunk Day is confirmed tomorrow. And its being catered cause caf food tastes like the inside of a pigs asshole.<br />
<br />
The caf got large shipments of frozen cookies over the weekend, including seven extra boxes of the same flavor. Possibly preparing for Flunk?<br />
<br />
== April 11 ==<br />
T-shirt email sent out. Today is not flunk day, but tomorrow IS. <br />
<br />
Andrei Papancea seen in a mirror at The Landmark. Shenanigans. <br />

<br />
"Oh gods of the ether, gods of the Flunk<br />
Bring us this day our daily dunk<br />
of righteous catharsis<br />
and nightmarish rhymes<br />
so that we remember these drunk, dirty times."<br />
<br />
6:07pm - I got the Walmart card from Cindy for an event this weekend, but she never said it was due on Monday. SHE ALWAYS SAYS. IT CANNOT BE DUE ON MONDAY BECAUSE CINDY IS GOING TO BE FLUNKING HER DAY AWAY!<br />
<br />
6:40 looking at the weather forecast for the next 10 days... tomorrow? Only a 20% chance of rain and 60 degrees. Sounds like Flunking Weather.<br />
<br />
7:05 PM. My friend works in the caf, and he overheard two ladies talking about tomorrow's schedule and how they need to fill an early shift tomorrow. The kitchen manager lady was nominated, but she said "There's no way I am going to come in THAT early tomorrow. It's way to early and Helmut can get someone from the Gizmo or something..." She obviously knows that Flunk Day is tomorrow and doesn't see the need to come in when it's FLUNK DAY. <------ also, there seem to be a lot of extra buns. ... and cookies!<br />
<br />
7:27pm: Lincoln Fest is next Saturday. . . isn't Flunk Day usually within a week of that? <- And Earth Month events are primarily the following week, so early this week seems golden.<br />
<br />
7:54 p.m: Any status on the mud pit and/or planners?? <-- Where are our trusty seniors!? Homework or Hogracing?<br />
<br />
8:12pm: SPIES<br />

Calm yerself. --> Flunk day isn't for awhile; no friars, shit weather, its too close to midterms<br />
<br />

<br />
'''Flunk day is not today'''<br />
<br />
But we did read this in an email from Deb Southern: <br />
<br />
"The clock is ticking . . . let’s make sure that we work together to ensure that future generations of Knox students will have the opportunity to experience Flunk Day."<br />
<br />
SAFETY EMAIL SENT OUT. The season of Flunk is upon us. <br />
<br />
10:48 p.m: A mysteriously large vehicle drove past the quads twice, shining its luminescent headlights across the buildings. SUSPICIOUS!<br />
<br />
== April 16 ==<br />
'''Dear Conger/Neal, <br />
WHY IS THERE NO FUCKING MUD PIT YET?!?! Flunk day is just around the corner and there is no progress. Step it up quads! Plus, the fact that it might rain again will make the digging easier and more fun.''' <br />
<br />
The famous Art Department Field Trip to Chicago that was scheduled for April 16 was mysteriously canceled on account of too few people signing up... riiiight...<br />
<br />
ALL THE SENIORS ARE CHANGING THEIR PROFILE PICTURES TO PICTURES OF FLUNK. FLUNK IS OBVIOUSLY UPON US.<br />
<br />
3:30 p.m: The Axis Dance Company workshops that were supposed to take place Thursday, Friday, and Saturday have been cancelled! Obviously Flunk day is Thursday! I mean, how many emails did YOU receive about signing up for it, and now its suddenly canceled!<br />
<br />
11:35pm: Suspicious yelling outside the Yellows. Seniors know all. Flunk Day is tomorrow.<br />
<br />

== April 19 ==<br />
Flunk Day did - once - occur on a Friday. Tony Gant reported having extremely hungover, severely sunburnt students the following Monday. <br />
<br />
Could 2013 be the year of FridayFlunk?<br />
<br />
Weather forecast calls for snow. Flunking in the snow? Sounds worse than last year in the rain..<br />
<br />
It's an Admitted Students day so it can't be today.<br />

<br />
'''THIS MUST NEVER DIE'''<br />
Twas the night before Flunk Day, when all throughout Knox Not a creature was sleeping, not even the Fox. The Wiki and Facebook both opened with care, In the hopes that Flunk Day news would soon be there.<br />
<br />
The friars were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of mud pits danced in their heads. And Roommate with booze, and I with my stash, Were all buckled in for the crazy ol’ bash.<br />
<br />
When out in the Quads there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew in a flash, Where someone there shouted, “Get off of your ass!”<br />
<br />
The sun on the top of newly-made mud Gave excitement and awe to first years and their buds. When, what to my wandering eyes should appear, But a big group of seniors, with a whole lot of cheer!<br />
<br />
With a check of my inbox, to see what they say, I knew in a moment it must be Flunk Day! More rapid than eagles, the friars they came, They whistled and shouted, and called out by name:<br />
<br />
“Now Conger! Now Neal! Now Elder and Four Name! Oh, Post! On, Furrow! Sherwin, don’t dare be lame! To the pit filled with mud! To the lawn of Old Main! Now drink away! Drink away! Let’s all go insane!!!”<br />
<br />
== April 22 ==<br />
<br />
Meatless Monday. Meatless Flunk Day? <--- False. Meatless Monday is a confirmed Earth month event. <--- Helmut is distracting us from the truth. The only way he would agree to such a dramatic change in his schedule is if he knew it wouldn't actually happen. #FlunktheEarthDay.<br />
<br />
Kaitlyn Duling gets a glimmer of fear in her eyes every time someone mentions Meatless Monday. <----SUSPICIOUS.<br />
<br />
Craig Southern spotted on campus several times this weekend.... making sure everything goes well for a Monday Flunk Day?<br />

<br />
One of my senior housemates just disappeared and can't be reached. This is unusual. Friar?<br />
<br />
Wouldn't a meatless Flunk Day be SO KNOX? Is there even meat in space? <--- Only freeze dried. If they want it to truly be Space Flunk, there will be no meat. <--- THIS COULD BE HUGE<br />
<br />
8:31pm: Craig Southern spotted in Gizmo, paused in line, and exited. Last minute Flunk Day planning?<br />

<br />
It has be said that the flunk shipment arrived friday, they can't it for too long. Flunk day is tomorrow. <---- Shipment could also have been for the Lincolnfest picnic. The caf gets shipments every single day. Doesn't mean anything.<br />
<br />
The old flunk day twitter is in denial. Why so eager to say there's no flunk? Suspicious. <<<- CONFIRMED<br />

No one thinks it's Flunk Day tomorrow.....ergo, Flunk Day is tomorrow! <------ CONFIRMED <----------- Flunk while no one is looking, stay vigilant Knox<br />

<br />
11:59p.m: Regina Rosenbrock spotted sealing her eyes shut with neon puffy paint. Flunk? <-- Why would you seal your eyes with puffy paint if the greatest day of the year is coming up? Should be lining them and making them stay open! For all the Flunking!<br />

10:26 PM: Nice little four hour break for a pre Flunk Day posting session. Way to go WikiFire. <-- I don't know whether to be suspicious or disappointed.<br />
<br />
11:30 PM: Flunk day must be tomorrow because it is the only day I have classes. Also, Andrei was not at chapter the other day. He was probably out coordinating things last minute...<br />
<br />
Alumni friend messaged and said she heard it was this day....<br />
<br />
12:03 AM: I'M ALDUS SNOW. BULLSHIT BULLSHIT BULLSHIT BULLSHIT. <-------CONFIRMED!!!<br />
<br />
Suspicious Facebook event for Alumni Flunk Day today and Wednesday? Hmm... <------- Those are never relevant to the actual flunk day, get with it!<br />
<br />
1:06 AM: LOUD NOISES HEARD NEAR THE SOCCER FIELD. PROBABLY SOME FORM OF TRAIN. <----- Thank you. For real. This brought a smile to face that needed it. Flunk on, my friends, flunk until the Earth stops spinning.<br />
<br />
1:48 AM: Goldie said he didn't see any unusual people buying unusually large quantities of alcohol. He thinks it's too early for Flunk Day. But the Soviets thought it was too early to put a person on the moon in '69 and we gave the doubters some permanent footprints and a perpetually mid-wave flag on the lunar surface. SPACE FLUNK. <---- No one buys Flunk Day stashes from the Quickie!<br />
<br />
== April 24 ==<br />
<br />
Kathy in the caf said that she hasn't started preparing the Flunk Day baked goods yet, and she usually starts a few days before Flunk. Her guess is that Flunk Day will be sometime next week.<br />
<br />
Josh Hosmer-Quint asked Kaitlin Duling if Flunk Day is gonna be this upcoming Wednesday. She winked at him. <br />
Seems legit. <--- NOT LEGIT. NOT CONFIRMED. Just because she winked at him DOESN'T MEAN IT'S GONNA BE FLUNK DAY. <--- Yeah! Kaitlyn Duling winks at everybody. REAL NICE PREDICTION YOU HAVE THERE. <--- I so agree with you. I wish people would stop posting jokes on the WikiFire. I actually want to know when Flunk Day is going to be. <--- Confirmed. Some people are serious students and actually need to know for their planning. <--- I KNOWWWW. <--- Yeah, people seriously need to stop trolling. <---but the WikiFire is troll central. It's part of the fun. DO YOU EVEN GO HERE <--- Look, referencing The Breakfast Club doesn't make you look smarter. Editing The Wiki Fire doesn't make you more clever. And trolling me definitely isn't gonna stop me from beating you. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. <--- Well that escalated quickly. <--- not really... <--- Ain't nobody got time this. <--- People don't even bother proofreading thier comments. < haha what about your comment that's ironic <--- CONFIRMED LOLOLOL <--- I just wish people would treat each other respect. <--- Yeah, and taking the WikiFire and especially the Flunk Day page seriously instead of just making jokes on it. <--- THANK YOU. <br />
<br />
^^^FOR THE SAKE OF THE ABOVE, LET IT BE FLUNK ON THIS DAY. Have you people lost the spirit entirely? Or are you first years who know no better? Flunk Day is not about planning. Flunk Day is not about being a serious student. Why else would they put FLUNK in the title? FLUNK your planners, FLUNK your regular lives, FLUNK FLUNK FLUNK. THIS COULD BE HUGE. <--CONFIRMED. <--- can we all stop replacing "fuck" for "flunk?" it makes us all sound like Christian Bible Camp team leaders or something. Would you actually say "Flunk you" out loud trying to be funny? my guess is no... <---"flunk you" in response to this. <-- SERIOUSLY? Who are you people? FLUNK DAY IS THE GREATEST OF DAYS. Stop the negativity and FLUNK<br />
<br />
<br />

Meetings don't matter, clubs don't matter, sports don't matter (in 2010 the golf team got their phones taken away and were informed it was Flunk Day during an away tournament). DON'T THINK YOU KNOW WHAT'S UP. No one is better at trolling than the Flunk Day planners. <--Confirmed<br />

`What do you know about this business?' the King said to Alice.<br />
<br />
`Nothing,' said Alice.<br />
<br />
`Nothing whatever?' persisted the King.<br />
<br />
`Nothing whatever,' said Alice.<br />
<br />
`That's very important,' the King said, turning to the jury. They were just beginning to write this down on their slates, when the White Rabbit interrupted: `Unimportant, your Majesty means, of course,' he said in a very respectful tone, but frowning and making faces at him as he spoke.<br />
<br />
`Unimportant, of course, I meant,' the King hastily said, and went on to himself in an undertone, `important--unimportant-- unimportant--important--' as if he were trying which word sounded best.<br />
<br />
<br />
April 23rd- Kaitlyn looks outside worried and says she hopes it stops raining. ....maybe because she wants perfect weather for Flunk Day tomorrow?<br />
<br />
Driving on the interstate and spotted a replica NASA shuttle launch pad ride thing. This is clearly space themed thus flunk day related. Will check Holiday Inn parking lot and update later if more info. <---- off 74? Where? THIS COULD BE HUGE I WILL PERSONALLY CHECK ON THIS IF I CAN GET MORE INFO THANKS!<br />
<br />
Velociraptors seen running around wearing space helmets with Flunk written on them. Flunk day is tomorrow!!! <-- CONFIRMED <-- Jesus we're back on this shit about Velociraptors? Shit was funny two years ago. <--well someone's clearly lost the Flunk spirit, but no matter [http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UVtlb8EJEkU/TuutKN1jp_I/AAAAAAAAA00/gRK1475go6c/s1600/OBrienDino.jpg]<-- Obviously the Velociraptor sightings are bullshit since they died out with the Final Flunk. What you actually saw were Miniature Giant Space Chickens from the planet Acheron. THE FLUNK IS ON!<-- its not quite that easy to kill a velociraptor<--Of course, you must be velociraptor to know that and survived by learning how to use technology.<br />
<br />
7:43pm overheard caf workers complaining about late night food prep for tomorrow's "big event" <-- THIS!!<br />

9:33 pm Jmaw Moses, president elect of the Knox College Choir, and leader extraordinaire in Sigma Chi told me that one of his brothers instrumental in planning Flunk Day said tomorrow is the best possibility.<br />
<br />
9:45 PM - The Quickie doors are locked. THIS COULD BE HUGE (or not, some things are just normal-sized)<== Goldie has to go to the bathroom like the rest of us. No panic necessary.<br />
9:50 PM - The Quickie reopened after a very short time (4 minutes 24 seconds, maybe?). Goldie says there's a sale on fifths of Jose Cuervo, and told me "it could be tomorrow," and "tomorrow is the best day" when I checked out.<br />
9:56pm: HyVee Wine and Spirits workers report a large influx of Knox students tonight. COULD IT BE?? <== CONFIRMED.<br />

10:23 Ghost of Flunk Day Past to tell you it is FLUNK DAY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTFWmdvBbZE <---CONFIRMED!!! I'm glad someone else remembers this!<br />
<br />
10:23 PM- Walter Palmer reports that tennis is still playing Coe at home because Coe is splitting their squad. In a related story, he also tells his incredibly loud neighbor to "Shut the fuck up, I'm trying to sleep!"---> if the match was scheduled after they picked the Flunk day date, then it will be cancelled. THe FLunk stops for nothing!<br />
<br />
Walmart is out of Flunk jugs! The seniors know somethinggggggg! Also, now I have nothing to flunk out of... <--- Walmart ran out weeks ago. You must be a first year...<br />

Spotted: Potential friars at Duffy's. Regina Rosenbrock--known Flunk Day planner--declined the offer...she vaguely speaks of having "things to do..." Suspicious?<br />

Source: I'm an RA <--maybe they just don't like you and you're a bad ra? <-- Maybe we don't get to know because we're like every other student and want to have the blissful surprise of the Flunk Day fairies dancing in our dreams! <-- Why am I not in this secret society of RA's, I'm cool guys. <-- We're RAs. Probably meaning we're not "that" terribly cool.<br />
<br />
STUDENTS ABROAD GOT THE EMAIL. <- CONFIRMED I wish I was on campus. Have fun everyone! <---------- forrealdoe?<br />
<br />
Sources (the flunk day advisor) have confirmed that she had to go to a meeting for flunk day planning and flunk day is NOT the 24th!<--obviously a trick.

<br />
12:24 AM It warms my heart to see the wikifire so tightly packed with enthusiasm, I can't stress this enough. <---CONFIRMED. ME TOO. Feeling the Flunk. <--- If all of these comments were in a bucket and someone tried to pull just one of them out, many comments would end up popping out because of how TIGHTLY PACKED they are...and I can't stress this enough.<=== as tightly packed at Freshmen in the foam pit! <br />

<br />
4:47 AM Caf lights are on; two campus safety officers were seen with a caf worker. Do they come this early to prep breakfast? Is this the flunk?<br />
<br />
It was a scare. Go to bed. Do your cs homework.<br />
<br />
== April 25 ==<br />
<br />
This was the day that was supposed to be Flunk last year. It was sunny, it was warm, and there was a good scare, but everyone ended up walking around looking depressed because it was not Flunk. How clever would it be of the planners to give us the Flunk we've been waiting for?<br />
<br />
It cannot be today as the Thursday before the concert is the Symphony move day and Pearl (da boss) has already submitted it to the school as a conflict date. Source: I work for her. <<<What even is this and also who cares<br />

== April 26 ==<br />
<br />
Official Tim Kasser prediction.<br />
<br />
Admitted students day- Flunk will not be today. Unlikely to be day before because campus will be messed up for the prospies. <--- False. Admitted Students Day is this Friday (the 19th). CHECK YO EVENTS CALENDAR. <---CONFIRMED. April 26 is NOT an Admitted Students day. There are no more of them!<br />
<br />
Run-A-Thon- Flunk will not be today.<br />
<br />
Plus, Knox is making a big deal of the Earth Month activities for that weekend and they likely don't want the campus all messed up for that. <---Campus has been flunked up for bigger activities. If this day is not Flunk, it will more likely be because it is a Friday.<br />
<br />
The State Superintendent of Education is visiting campus today. Not a chance of Flunk. <---Confirmed. The Ed department told all the majors to look presentable in class.<br />
<br />
9:18PM its supposed to be 62 degrees and nice tomorrow. flunk day?? <br />
<br />
9:22 PM no one thinks its flunk day. flunk day confirmed?<br />
<br />
What ever happened to no Friday Flunk? Is that not a real argument anymore? <-- possible that the new President doesn't know the No Friday rule + No master of fun this year. Flunk Day planners may have been able to get away with it for once.<br />
<br />
Awesome people spotted getting flunk day outfits from the Salvation Army. Flunk is near!<br />
<br />
10PM Helmut just now seen leaving the caf!! A little late?<br />
<br />
== April 29 ==<br />
<br />
The last two Flunk Days were on May 1 and 2. This week seems to be golden. But might it be earlier this year? Or later? <--- the school year goes later this year Flunk Day could be later. <--- Highly likely. <-- But Amott is concerned with the aesthetics of the campus and its marketability, so she may want it earlier to clean up before the late spring and summer round of school visits.<br />
<br />
Word is the Baseball Gods and the Flunk Day Gods have been working in cahoots this year. After a long trip to and from Wisconsin on this weekend the combo of Gods have decided that this is the only viable option for Flunk Day. The scripture is written and so it shall be.<--Except for the fact a doubleheader vs. Loras was rescheduled to this day. Not gonna happen.<---AHA but there be hope yet. Loras still lists the Knox doubleheader as cancelled and has no games listed for the 29th. Eisele is trying to trick us but we shall not let him!<---The game has been removed from the events calendar & the baseball schedule. <---According to an email from the Loras Head Coach, the games were never scheduled to be made up due to their conference scheduling. Suspicious...<---Flunk Day is Monday, that is of course unless Coach I desires to play Spoon River again.<br />
<br />
There is a professor from California giving a lecture today.<----Flunk Day is more important than California.<br />
<br />
THIS IS THE LAST DAY THAT FLUNK DAY SHIRTS ARE ON SALE. SUSPICIOUS? FLUNKSPICIOUS?<br />
<br />
In class when asked about picking a date for a movie both Regina and Bethany were both suspiciously busy on this day. When asked why they became shifty and said because of union board. When confronted further they became nervous <-- They are masters of deceit. Also, when the fuck are we gonna hear about who the friars are? Cause I'm tryna get shit balls drunk on chocolate milk.<---Last year's friars did not find out until the morning of Flunk Day & they were asked to sign up. <br />
<br />
<br />
[[Rup Sarkar]] says that today is NOT flunk day. He knows this. It's his fourth flunk day.<-- Its also like 300 other peoples 4th flunk day. <--CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
THE ALMOND BROTHERS SPOTTED ON CAMPUS FLUNK DAY IS TODAY!! [http://i.imgur.com/ihqYTLQ.jpg]<br />
<br />
Let the Monday hype begin.<br />
<br />
I hope everyone has his or her stash! I hope everyone has his or her Flunk Day outfit planned. BECAUSE FLUNK DAY IS ON MONDAY. MONDAY FLUNK DAY. MONDAY FLUNK DAY. MONDAY FLUNK DAYYYYY!!!!<br />
<br />
I asked [[Bethany Mariner]] today if Monday is Flunk Day. She refused to answer the question and immediately walked away. <--She does that for any question about flunk day.<br />
<br />
<br />
Reasons Flunk Day is tomorrow:<br />
1) The screen from earthday is still out there <--------They don't do weekend pick ups. don't get your hopes up<br />
<br />
2) the tent from Cats and Lasers is still there<br />
<br />
3) The stage is still there<br />
<br />
4) its after Midterms, so there are no academic problems <-LIES. I have 3 midterms this week (monday/tuesday/wednesday), I still hope flunk day is Monday though. <br />
<br />
5) The Miami Heat swept the Bucks<br />
<br />
6) [[Abe Eastman]] thinks its flunk day<br />
<br />
7) There have been '''2''' food deliveries in the past week <---- THIS MEANS NOTHING. There is a food delivery EVERY DAY. <br />
<br />
8) the speaker can easily speak the next day (and she's talking about ancient Christian texts, and the professor responsible for bringing her is the Latin professor, and ancient christian texts should be in Aramaic. <-- She is actually talking about why ancient LATIN texts were kept in circulation in the Christian academy despite their obscene nature. Also, ancient Christian texts aren't just in Aramaic-- the entire New Testament was in Ancient Greek. Ugh.<--Latin Vulgate, Greek Septuagint, Fail.<--Agreed Point is Thoroughly wrong. Not to mention classical style of composition and narrative (Paul's letters)and references to the classical tradition through out.Oxford does not publish a Greek Biblical Lexicon for nothing: http://www.amazon.com/Greek-English-Lexicon-Testament-Christian-Literature/dp/0226039331 .<br />
<br />
9) ??????????? <--- Get shitfaced<br />
<br />
10) Profit?????????<br />
<br />
Conclusion?<br />
Its time to get ya'll flunk on Mother Fuckers!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
I ran into Craig Southern at the Earth Day event yesterday and he says a Monday Flunk day this year is not likely. Or is it??<br />
<br />
1:00 - 2:00 pm: Andrei and Regina spotted carrying boxes out of the Campus Life office. They shadily avoided eye contact with nearby knox students.<br />

3:00 pm: The Shiva blessed Flunk Day at C2E2 today. This is happening boys and girls.<br />
<br />

<br />
3:43 PM Why would Union Board make Flunk Day tomorrow after a huge Union Board event-filled weekend? that doesn't make sense. Flunk Day unlikely.<----- Less clean up days. Just clean it all up at once instead of cleaning this mess up and then Flunk day in a couple of days.<br />
<br />
every weekend is "a huge Union Board event-filled weekend." the flunk abides.<br />
<br />
4:46 PM Dogs heard barking. Perhaps they smell the flunk approaching?<----- DOGS ARE BARKING! This could be huge!<br />
<br />
76 degrees and sunny, the Flunk Gods decree that it be flunk. <<<silly first years, weather doesn't matter!<br />
<br />
7:32PM Staff e-mail says to prepare for an "unusually early and exciting" morning. FLUNK DAY CONFIRMED! <-- Whoa whoa whoa. Can we get REAL confirmation on this?? <- yeah trying to take a screenshot but my computer is failing, I got the e-mail forwarded from a friendly caf worker, if i can get this to work i also need to block out their name (believe what you want, i don't want to get them in trouble so im blocking it out) <br />
<br />
7:35 PM Lane V Sunderland says its Flunk Day. Ergo it must be Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
8:04 Does anyone NOT have anything to do that can go sleuthing for clues around town? Can we get some pics of trailers, large trucks, or other mysterious clues that point to Flunk Day? WE NEED TO GET THIS BALL ROLLING. WE MUST FIND THE FLUNK, NOT LET THE FLUNK FIND US.<br />
<br />
<br />
8:09 Civettini seen drinking with staff at McGillacuddy's. mumbling about his statistical model. <---That is fairly normal. <---- CIVETTINI IS THE TROLLIEST PROFESSOR EVER!!!! Do not Believe his POLITICAL SCIENCE LIES!!!!! <---Andy lives every day like it's Flunk Day <---- I represent that remark. <---don't you mean resent? <---- Confirmed!!!!! First hand source!!!!<br />
<br />
8:12 Two alums who work together in Chicago seen on campus. I think the one is engaged to a girl that still goes here? But I saw on facebook that she's not even in town. Insider info?? <-false, this means absolutely nothing. there were alums on campus last week too and one got engaged to a girl thats still here, didn't mean anything about flunk day. Plus, what creepy alum would come back just for flunk day? Grow up already. <- I know about 5 that came back thinking it was flunk day last week, they aren't creepy, they just like excuses to drink with friends that are still here. go home freshmen, you're drunk. <-- freaks. get a job. <- two are self-employed (doing well) and the other three make over $75,000/year (and they just graduated in teh last 2 years), one makes over $100,000, before you judge you should consider whether or not you'll be 1/4 of that successful when you graduate. They were able to visit because they could afford to. YOU grow up. <br />
<br />
To the person that posted the gigantic picture. Really? I mean come on. <-seconded<br />
<br />
Bethany is ACTUALLY hanging out with bff Amelia. Obviously flunk tomorrow.<br />
<br />
8:50 PM - Do shipments of food mean anything? ANYWAY, people should be out and about near the hotels by Target to see if there are any trailers and other big trucks. That is the dead give away. If you're out there, TAKE PICTURES! Be safe, little Prairie Fires.<br />
<br />
9:03 PM Velociraptor spotted in Knoxville <-- We should be concerned with UFO's bro <- and HOW exactly do you think they got here? UFOs bro. Velociraptors in UFOs. Flunk day confirmed. <br />
<br />
9:06 PM I had a dream that Arthur Pascale was wearing a fez. It MUST be flunk day.<br />

Joel Estes seen drinking at the bar at Buffalo Wild Wings<br />

There's no way its Flunk Day tomorrow... Debbie Southern set up a meeting with me tomorrow, she obviously wouldn't infer to do it on Monday if it was Flunk Day.<---Who are you and why are you evil? <<<<<<< Debbie likes to play mind games when it comes to Flunk Day. IT'S A TRAP!!!!!!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piVnArp9ZE0 <--- Truth. Debbie is known to mess with people when it comes to Flunk Day<br />
<br />
I had a meeting scheduled with Heather Poppy on Flunk Day last year. It didn't happen. Meetings don't matter. <---CONFIRMED!<br />
<br />
9:26PM is anyone checking campus or the mail room? post pictures!<----go and do it yourself! Also just checked target, nothing there. Just the usual Walmart semis at Walmart. Nothing flunkspicios<br />
<br />
Vince Rug, class of 2012--works in Chicago, seen on campus. Vince allegedly was last year's Secret Flunk Day Planner, could he have insider information again this year?? <--- Vince is on campus more than most students are. <-- CONFIRMED regardless he knew last year so it would only make sense he'd know again this year. THIS COULD BE HUGE!<br />
<br />
Vince Rug and Ben Wetherbee, also class of 2012 and an Admissions Counselor at Knox, spotted at Fat Fish Pub. THIS COULD BE HUGE!<br />
<br />
9:51 p.m. Lights seen on in the Office of Communications!!!! <--- this means nothing, that office works all hours.<br />
<br />
9:54PM its not flunk day. study for your midterms. <--- What is wrong with you. <-just making sure people pass their damn midterms. worst case scenario people stay up thinking its flunk day when it obviously ISN'T then fail, just a friendly reminder to study because flunk day tomorrow isn't likely <br />
<br />
9:55PM [Lyana Sun Han] rolling around her suite in Post, she feels the Flunk in her bones! It's obviously tomorrow!<br />
<br />
Campus life has been calling suites around campus saying "to be well rested in case of any unexpected activities tomorrow", Flunk Day yes? <- if this is really happening, it's proof that it ISN'T flunk day tomorrow, they're obviously trolling. on the real flunk day eve they will be silent.<--WHATTTT this happened to us too!! IS IT FLUNK DAY OR WHAT?!!<---Why the fuck would we be silent if we knew it was flunk day tomorrow?<br />
<br />
10PM Helmut just now seen leaving the caf!! A little late?<br />

<br />
its fucking flunk day<br />
<br />
It isn't flunk day. there is a scare planned for tomorrow morning though. don't listen to or feed the trolls. <-- 2009, a scare turned into flunk day. Last year the seniors planned scares and wanted jack to confirm. believe you asshole. '''BELIEVE''' <---CONFIRMED! 2011 also had a scare that turned into Flunk Day <--- This could be huge.<br />
<br />
10:10 p.m. Stephen Douglas impersonator spotted near Williston. THIS COULD BE HUGE!<br />
<br />
10:24 p.m. Nothing suspicious around hotels near Target. Only one large GNC semi in parking lot of Fairfield Inn.<br />
<br />
10:25 p.m. REGINA SPOTTED ENTERING THE UNION BOARD STORAGE ROOM IN SEYMOUR (IN THE HALLWAY BY THE MAILROOM STAIRCASE). SHE SMILED WHEN A STAFF MEMBER ASKED IF IT'S FLUNK DAY. <---- Confirmed!<br />
<br />
10:28 p.m. I pooped my pants. Soo...flunk day?<<--Depends, was it HUGE?<br />
<br />
I'd like to think that Regina and the other planners are smarter than to do those preparations in full sight if they were for The Day. Just saying<br />
<br />
SATURN IS SO CLOSE TO ME. FLUNK DAY MUST BE TOMORROW. <---CONFIRMED! What better time to have Space Flunk when one of the most iconic images of space is the closest to us as it can be? <br />
<br />
10:31 pm Kaitlyn spotted rushing direction Union Board office looking stressed. <---CONFIRMED!

She claims to be in the library but wasn't there either!!!!<br />
<br />
Two trailers spotted in the Holliday inn parking lot <-- Evidence? <- people are ALWAYS staying there, sometimes with trailers, tahts how hotels work.<br />

[http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_maf7mdFtq81r32taso1_500.gif<br />
]<br />
<br />
11:00 pm My phone will not connect to my computer so I can upload pictures of trailers in hotel parking lots. DEFINITELY Flunk Day. <- second one of these. clearly it isn't flunk day and people are trolling. <---Trolling? What does that mean?<br />
<br />
11:05pm Not flunk day as confirmed by caf workers (real ones not the student workers) <-- How did you get in contact with a caf worker at 11:00 PM? Also, most of them don't know for sure until they are called in early to work. <---Confirmed! <- not all of us are from far away, I'm friends with two of the caf workers who live in galesburg, they're real people I texted them earlier one just responded, that's how. its not like I magically hunted them down and cornered these people i didn't know who work in the caf and made them tell me whether or not it was flunk day. it isn't flunk day. confirmed. sorry to disappoint. <-- I am aware they are "real people," but that doesn't give them magical knowledge of Flunk Day. Usually they can only gauge within a few days of the Flunk Day because they can see the food supplies, but they don't know the day until they are called in! They could be giving you their best guess, though. Sorry to disappoint. <- it isn't flunk day because they know when flunk day is already (well one does, she's coming in early to help set up), i'm just not telling you when tehy said it was to avoid getting them in trouble. flunk day is NOT tomorrow, so if you have homework PLEASE DO IT!!! it is this week though! <---BOO, YOU STINK. DON'T DO YOUR HOMEWORK. IT'S CALLED FLUNK DAY FOR A REASON!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
Not Flunk Day. Seems like this campus needs one more good scare. If not two. Social media networks explodin' real good though. <----It's Flunk Day until proven otherwise by the lack of the email in the morning. <--Confirmed!<br />
<br />
11:11 Loud music coming from Tompkins...seniors welcoming el dia de Flunk??<br />
<br />
Get in the spirit all of you negative nancy's out there. Instead of trying to find out when Flunk Day '''isn't''' help us find out when Flunk Day '''is''' <---- CONFIRMED <-- I have never encountered so many Flunk Day killjoys.<--confirmed, and you must have never experienced a flunk day to talk like that!<br />
<br />
11:30 My body is ready. <--- '''CONFIRMED''' <----DOUBLE CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
11:33 Flunk Day is not tomorrow. I also heard from a caf worker. it's wednesday, not tomorrow. i dont care about posting it unlike the other poeple becasue no one will know which caf worker anyway (assuming we heard from teh same one which i doubt) and even then its not a big deal. Flunk day is wednesday. go to sleep. <br />
<br />
Nope, in the last 3 years people keep saying the caf workers tell them. And every year they've been wrong<br />
KEEP THE FAITH YOU NONBELIEVERS <---- CONFIRMED.<br />
<br />
My mom is in town tomorrow. Karma will make it flunk day. Have faith.<br />

<br />
11:37 pm: Alumni email has been sent out. Flunk if you got it. <===8 Sauce?<br />
<br />
Henry told me it was Flunk Day tomorrow. And I think he was sober when he told me so that means it has to be FLUNK DAY tomorrow!!!!!<br />
<br />
11:42 PM: HEY ALL YOU RUDE PEOPLE. IF YOU'RE HERE JUST TO BE MEAN, I HOPE YOU SLEEP THROUGH FLUNK DAY. YOU DON'T DESERVE THE FUN. I, FOR ONE, AM ALREADY DRINKING. I WILL BE READY FOR FLUNK TOMORROW. YOU WILL JUST BE SAD. SENIORS: WE NEED TO RALLY. THIS IS OUR LAST FLUNK DAY AND WE WILL NOT BE BROUGHT DOWN BY THESE DEBBY DOWNERS. '''<----CONFIRMED!!!!!!!!''' <br />
<br />
Gee almighty, 1. the caf workers DO NOT know the date 2. even if they do how do you know they're not messing with you<br />
<br />
11:48 p.m. Kaitlyn Duling spotted in the library, wearing glasses (she usually doesn't) and looking stressed. Is she trolling or is she studying???<br />
<br />
11:50 pm: Does anyone have any ideas what the main event will be for Flunk Day? I haven't heard so much as a peep about it. Last year we knew it'd be a musical guest star, but what about this year? Any insight?<br />
<br />
11:55 PM: Now Kaitlyn is in the gizmo!<br />
<br />
12:05 AM: Dushawn Darling spotted wearing a green cape and pink booty shorts. This could only mean one thing: '''FLUNK DAY IS UPON US!''' <----'''CONFIRMED!!!'''<br />
<br />
12:06 AM: My mind says no, but my body says yes. <<-- False. The gospel of R. Kelly tells the true quote; "My mind's telling me no...but my body, my body's telling me yeah." <br />
<br />
FLUNK DAY = ALL THE LOVE<br />
<br />
The Mud Pit is inadequate. Who will volunteer as tribute?!<br />
<br />
12:15 AM not flunk day, it's wednesday. too many confirmed caf worker sources to be trolling, plus they wouldn't troll they're actually my friends and know I honestly don't care if its tomorrow or not (hoping it was but its whatever). yes, they do actually know, they're staying late tuesday night to help get things together and a few are coming in early, people seem to forget that these people are hired help and they need to know their schedule ahead of time, they can't just get a random call at 3 am saying "lol go figure out a babysitter for your kid and come in immediately, its flunk day!". flunk day wednesday, so stock up! <---- That's exactly what they do to the Gizmo workers. They get a call that morning telling them they have to come in 5 hours before their shift would normally start. Most caf workers don't know the exact date. <-confirmed, my aunt is one of the caf workers, dont tell her I told you if people reading this know who I am/who she is! she made me promise not to say anything, but in case people have work, its definitely wednesday! <---[[http://trololololololololololo.com/]]<-right its not what people wanted to hear therefore i must be trolling. believe what you want im just trying to pass on ACTUAL information for once, everything on here is "omg there was a truck this one time at walmart!" or "i saw someone on union board doing their job!" or "theres a light on in this building!!". sorry for trying to help, your loss. additionally stock up because its freaking WEDNESDAY. <------------- http://i2.ytimg.com/vi/Atr8iFcc0qQ/mqdefault.jpg <------ Do you not understand what the wikifire is for? Where is your Flunk Day Spirit?!?!?! HAS ANYONE SEEN ABE LINCOLN? <---- getting butthurt at trolling and "fake" information? Do you even wikifire? MORE SPIRIT PEOPLE!! <------- I wish we could all get along like we used to in middle school. I wish I could bake a cake filled with rainbows and smiles and everyone would eat and be happy. <--- she doesn't even go here! <-------- I just have a lot of feelings...<br />
<br />
12:21 AM: Andrei not doing his homework. Probably because HE KNOWS IT'S FLUNK DAY. Or maybe he just finished his homework already. Believe what you will.<br />
<br />
12:21 AM Report: Andrei walked out of campus life office, looking nervous.------<< Confirmed!!Shit is real. it's today!!! <-this is such bullshit, im sitting here nothing is going on or has been for the past 90 minutes at least <-- Lowercase writer, as someone going into his fourth Flunk Day, I want to say that you really don't understand the Flunk Day spirit. <---- confirmed.<br />
<br />
12:31 I'm calling BS on the made of story of the aunt guy. My grandmother ACTUALLY helps out around the caf and I live with her and she is currently not here... For those who know me and who I am talking about can confirm. She's been helping out this entire weekend for day of service and other events around Knox and they've requested her services this entire week...<br />
<br />
Knoxians. Please please pleeeease get in the spirit and try to love each other!! FLUNK DAY!! <----CONFIRMED! Love is really what Flunk Day is about<br />
<br />
12:48 TROLLATIVES<br />
<br />
12:45am: I have a car and I'm really bored. I'm going flunk-huntin'. What are some ideal places or hot spots for supposed trailers, 18wheelers and flunkmobiles to be? Let me know, I will go to as many as I can, and as always, pics or it didn't happen.<br />
<br />
Not even an hour ago two of the Gentlemen of P-house were spotted at Wal-Mart picking up water supplies (I think maybe a slip and slide?). When confronted they pointed me towards the alcohol section and said, "Let the Flunk be the Guide." If that isn't a sign of Flunk, then I don't know what is!<--- I won't start drinking unless one of them was Justin Steele.<br />
<br />
'''The Rules of the Flunk''':<br><br />
1. Thou shalt forever proclaim "Tomorrow is Flunk Day" even when thou knowest it to be false<br><br />
2. Thou shalt encourage thy fellow flunkers in the excitement of the Flunk, not crusheth their dreams<br><br />
3. Thou shalt make silly and ridiculous proclamations such as "Trains were heard. Tomorrow is Flunk." on the WikiFire<br><br />
4. Thou shalt love the Flunk scares for they bring about the anticipation of the Flunk<br><br />
5. Thou shalt never give up hope for Flunk <br><br />
The breakage of any above rule results in the loss of Flunk Spirit by not only your own unfortunate soul, but by the entire campus. Be a jolly Flunker, friends. Be a jolly Flunker.<br><br><br />
<br />
THAT GUY/GAL GETS IT! The Flunk will save us all, even the non-believers!! May the Flunk be with you. <---And with you. <br><br><br />
<br />
It has been postulated that Flunk Day is but a yearly outbreak of campus-wide mass hysteria--that the Day will only Flunk when the Knox population as a whole veers sharply over the edge of sanity into the pit of madness below. Further, it has been postulated that any passerby unaffected by the Flunk Fever's influence would, upon viewing the campus from a distance, see not a jovial celebration but a savage, delirious ritual not unlike the Bacchanalia of old. <br><br />
Of course, any passerby brave or foolish enough to stare into the heart of that chaos will be inevitably drawn into it; Flunk is seductive and hypnotic and ravenous like the prairie fire its victims are named for. It rarely returns the victims it claims, and when it does they come out fundamentally changed, starved for next year's outbreak as though for air.<br><br />
The question, then, is this: what happens when the Fever does not break? What happens when a Day of Flunk no longer satisfies these poor, insane, once-human creatures? The commonly accepted theory is that the madness simply continues to swirl, gaining momentum as it spirals toward the event horizon until nothing can escape--not students, not light, not even time--compressing the campus into a point of zero mass and infinite Flunk. <br><br />
However, some fringe studies have suggested an expansion as the ultimate end. Instead of collapsing in, the fever seeps outward from the source like a toxic cloud, consuming everything in its path. <br><br />
The first option is grim to be sure, but the second poses a much deeper threat as there is no perceived end to this expansion. The fever will consume until the entire city and then the state and then the country and then, eventually, the world is trapped in an unending Flunk--in short, my friends and colleagues, this could truly be huge. <br><br><br />
<br />
<br />
1:15 AM: As of now, I have not seen any semis, flatbeds, trucks of any sort. I'm not truck expert, but I did not see shit out there. I just drove around Target and Walmart areas. Nothing out of the usual. But I'd say keep your eyes peeled around 4 or 5 AM when shit starts to emerge... It is possible that the school is having the Flunk Day equipment wait over in a nearby town such as Knoxville or Monmouth. Keep your Prairie Spirits. Love you all. <--- Like 8 semis parked in the old Econo Foods parking lot. You have to look in out of the ordinary places! <--- ''Donde estan las fotos yo?''<------Sorry, not to be a killjoy, but that happens every night. It's the one *legal* area in Galesburg for truck drivers to park for extended hours for free. Not saying there couldn't be flunk day trucks there...but there are usually at least 12-15 trucks there a night. <br />
<br />
1:22 AM: Just heard a deep maniacal laugh from outside my window. Is this a sign of the Flunk, or should I be scared? <--- Both<br />
<br />
1:28 AM: It smells REALLY FUCKING BAD OUTSIDE YO! WTF! LOL<br />
<br />

<br />
1:54 AM: Kaitlyn and Regina seen hugging. <---THIS COULD BE HUG [http://anongallery.org/img/7/5/what-you-did-there-i-see-it-pelican.jpg] <------- Well played, both of you<br />
<br />

<br />
2:43 AM Campus is suspiciously quiet...<br />
<br />
2:46 AM: A Prairie Farms milk truck just drove by the quickie, destination unknown.<br />
<br />
3:17 AM: A horse just rode by my window. Flunk Day or a hallucination sent by the flunk gods? You be the judge.<br />
<br />
4:30 AM: WHY ISN'T THIS PAGE ON FIRE RIGHT NOW THIS IS CRUNCH TIME PEOPLE. MOVE IT, MOVE IT, MOVE IT.<br />
<br />
4:59AM: Two semi trucks, two smaller trucks, and an RV sighted in the hotels by Target. <br />

<br />
10:00 AM: Cindy Wickliff sends mysterious email about aliens and a Plant Flunk telling students to stay on high alert. Is the flunk finally on its way??<----I saw a cop car pull over someone near Seymour last night around 2:30am. Could the "questionable light signals" in the email be referring to sirens? Did something go down last night?<br />
<br />
== April 30 ==<br />
<br />
This is the official Andy Civettini prediction. <---- Check the edit log. I am Andy Civettini. I'm currently grading and prepping for lectures and discussion tomorrow. I make no prediction. And if I did, I'd always predict that Flunk Day is tomorrow. It's just more fun that way. :) <--- No, I am Andy Civettini. I make no such prediction. <--- No, I'm the '''real''' Andy Civettini. <--- will the real andy civettini please stand up? <--- I want people to know the real Andy Civettini. <--- The real Andy Civettini is secretly nice. EVERYTHING YOU KNOW IS A LIE. <--- CONFIRMED.<br />

This is [[Max Potthoff]]'s birthday. Obviously it is Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
Custodial Staff is predicting a late April , Early May Flunk Day! April 30 has to be Flunk Day<---------------'''This Could Be Huge!!!!!!''' <-- Certain Caf workers also informed me that they got the Menu for Flunk Day in the second week in April. They said that usually the day happens only a week or two after they receive the menu- placing it around the 4th week in April or April 30th.<br />
If its April 30th, its gonna make cinco de mayo the shit that sunday.<br />
<br />
Also who's got ideas about the flunk day stash?<br />
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/84/Bottles_of_Canadian_Club_Whisky.JPG <- sorry freshman, THERE IS NO GENERAL "FLUNK DAY STASH", you need to get your OWN stash, there isn't one giant one you get to choose from. nice try though. now go home you're drunk (or obviously not)<br />
<br />
[[Rup Sarkar]] thinks that today might be flunk day. He knows this. It's his fourth flunk day. <- this means absolutely nothing. its a lot of peoples' fourth flunk day<<-- you know absolutely nothing, Rup knows all. <- Rup knows nothing. <br />
<br />
This is the day I want it to be flunk day. Therefore, it will be flunk day. <-- logical fallacy of self importance <- logical fallacy of showing your own importance by telling others they think they are the important ones. post modern meltdown ensues <-- all of my whats<br />
<br />

10:00 AM: Cindy Wickliff sends mysterious email about aliens and a Plant Flunk telling students to stay on high alert. Is the flunk finally on its way??<----I saw a cop car pull over someone near Seymour last night around 2:30am. Could the "questionable light signals" in the email be referring to sirens?

1:50 pm White truck labeled "Independent Courier" pulled into the library parking lot and parked, obstructing traffic.<-----too early in the day... what good would it do if everyone could see and ruin the surprise. No one is that dumb. <--- This was most likely the truck delivering today's I-Share books. They always get delivered around this time.<br />

<br />
This afternoon: Quickie posted special hours for this week/weekend... and Goldie always knows. <-- False, those are the new hours, they are not special in any way. Bars were put up because the quickie will now be closed for about 6 hours every day and they don't want anyone casing the joint while they're away.<br />
<br />

<br />
10:55 PM Realize the book I am reading has no print, the pages are blank.<------8 Blindness Hysteria ensues. Clearly we won't see Flunk Day coming.<br />
<br />
10:59 PM- First years screaming out FLUNNNNNNNK DAY in the quads. Clearly Wednesday.<br />
<br />
If Tuesday and Wednesday are both not Flunk Day that would be three consecutive days of potential flunk missed, is that unprecedented? I mean three days over the course of a two week stretch maybe, but three days in a row, with good weather to boot? I fear for the safety of all those on this campus in that doomsday scenario.<---8 And now there is an official Flunk Day song? Oh boy, if this stagnates for another week we could be in trouble.<br />

That's a good enough reason.<br />
<br />
What's with the lack of substantial evidence? Check the mailroom for paper covering the windows! Scout the parking lots around town for suspicious vehicles! We need EVIDENCE before we can confirm the Flunk! <-----8SOMEONE CHECK THE CAF AND SEE IF THE LIGHTS ARE ON!<br />
<br />

<br />
Weezer confirmed to be the Flunk Day Performer for the 3rd year in a row.<br />
<br />
12:06 Seniors are usually the ones trolling the wikifire. There has been minimal movement here in the last 40 minutes. Thus forth I deduce that they must have more important things to do: like get ready to go to the field house and/or drink. Thus forth, either the seniors are getting super messed with (awesome) or it's flunk day (awesome-er)<---- Or both (awesomest?)<br />
<br />

1:26 AM Just called Campus Safety to ask if it's Flunk Day...a transcript of the conversation:<br />
Me: Is it Flunk Day tomorrow?<br />
Safety: What do you think?<br />
Me: I think probably, yes.<br />
Safety: Well, uh, I couldn't tell you even if I knew.<br />
SUSPICIOUS??<br />

<br />
1:36 AM If flunk day is not tomorrow i'm estimating it will take about 8 months before the campus will stop complaining about it. They have gone to far, there is no other explanation than to flunk.<br />
<br />
1:46 AM: Where are all the trucks?<br />
[[File:Photo_(4).JPG]]<br />
[[File:Photo_(2).JPG]] <br />
<br />
1:49 AM: Something's going on...<br />
[[File:Photo_(3).JPG]] <br />
<br />
1:47 AM Flunk day has to be tuesday. If it's not tuesday, all surprise is lost because everyone will know it WILL, or should be wednesday. Therefore, they would not choose Wednesday as Flunk day. The chance of having it on tuesday OR wednesday provides a sort of element of surprise, because it could be either day. If flunk day is neither tuesday nor wednesday, then it would have to be next week, and again, ruining the surprise, making it obvious that it would be next week (which it's not). However, because we know that flunk day can't be wednesday (If it's not tuesday, all surprise is lost because everyone will know it WILL, or should be wednesday)then flunk day would be expected to be tuesday. And if we expect it to be tuesday, then is it really flunk day? Sorry, I'm really really high right now, is it flunk day yet?<-----That was a Princess Bride-esque thought process there, well done. It must be Flunk!<br />
<br />
1:50 AM Found this near the fieldhouse. :) [[File:THISCOULDBEHUGE.jpg]]<br />

<br />
2:19 AM: KNOX: if you are a BELIEBER like myself, or a MUD PIT ENTHUSIAST (the caps is for the enthusiasm) then we need you to get out there and HELP. Just go there and coordinate with the pitiful remains of the crew, so we can keep this going.<br />
<br />
2:40 AM: These are what we found chillin at the Holiday Inn around 1AM http://imgur.com/8XQMqC6&xZtOYD3#0<---- great you pic so it did happen, but wtf are they <------Perhaps they contain inflatables?<br />
<br />
2:57 AM: Comrades, I have just returned from my bike-flunk-hunt with my camo-hatted co-crusader and these are our findings: we noted the absence of the white vans in the campus safety parking lot, and found an abundance of white vans in the parking lot between Seminary St. and the Packinghouse: <br />
<br />
[[File:Flunk2.JPG]]<br />
<br />
We then found this in the lot behind the register mail: <br />
<br />

<br />
What is "The Voice"? allowing it actually says that. The Picture is blurry as hell. <----The Voice is a newspaper based in Aurora, IL, near Naperville. <--- Its a GateHouse paper, they rotate trucks sometimes. Doesn't mean squat unless you care about a shipment of inserts for the R-M being delivered.<br />
<br />
3:17 AM: I'm not sleeping. But I'm always sleeping. Also I have to poop. FLUNK.<br />

<br />
All content deleted from this post. proof that flunk day is Wednesday??? <- it was deleted because people were using the f-word on the internetz <-NOT THE "F" WORD!?!?!<br />
<br />
THIS JUST IN: Admissions Ambassadors Monthly Meeting moved to NEXT WEDNESDAY. I know they know nothing about the day, but my suspicions are quite high...<br />
It was May 1st last year... would they repeat the date? <---- we don't expect them to repeat the date, making this the perfect day!<-------------Flunk Day's are statistically independent events from one another.<br />
<br />
Monday, 3:01 pm: An informant tells me that caf workers have been informed not to bake ahead because Wednesday is FLUNK DAY. No names so they don't get in trouble. <-- Confirmed! An individual who works in the caf also told me that Flunk Day is on Wednesday. In the past, the same worker has told my friends who have worked in the caf also, and they have always been right. Flunk Day is upon us.<br />
<br />
THEY ARE FILLING IN THE MUD PIT. <br />
I REPEAT, THEY ARE FILLING IN THE MUD PIT WITH SAND AND MULCH! <br />
WHAT THE FLUNK ARE THEY DOING?!?!?!?!?<--They do that every year. The mud pit is not sanctioned by KNOX. Of course they are going to try and stop students.<--- correct, but why would they do this now unless the Flunk is close enough where students could not reverse the damage. Which is why i think the flunk is soon. How soon? Tomorrow soon. <br />
<br />
<br />
11:28 am: Caf lady who took my card at breakfast said "no flunk day today, huh?" and gave me a coy smile. FLUNK DAY CONFIRMED FOR WEDNESDAY<br />
<br />
3:50 P.M. I've gathered a few friends to clear the mudpit at 11:00 tonight. We could really use the help in getting it ready. Meet at the pit at 11 if you want to help! And bring your friends!<---It's a trap!<---Campus Safety posted this its a sting operation they just gonna bust ya'll<br />
<br />
4:13PM "Here lies the Post that never was."<br />

"WHY IS THERE NO SUB CATEGORY FOR MAY 6TH!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? SERIOUSLY NOT EVEN A CATEGORY FOR IT!?!?!?!?! Also, I have no clue how to make such a thing, can someone please do it." I wrote that yesterday and someone created a May 6th. MAY 6TH IS NOW GONE!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE HELL! NOT ONLY IS THAT DAY FLUNK DAY BUT SOMEONE IS TRYING TO LITERALLY MAKE IT NOT EXIST!<------May 6th does not exist! It will never exist. Stop Trying to make MAY 6th a thing. It will never be a thing.<br />
<br />

<br />
If Knox SERIOUSLY doesn't want a mud pit, then they need to stop using students covered in Flunk Day mud in their admissions/PR materials. JUST SAYIN'. Stay strong Conger/Neal! <-- very wise person said this<br />
<br />
The Admissions Ambassador meeting was originally scheduled for this day but was rescheduled for a week later.<br />
<br />
No updates for 3 1/2 hours? C'mon, Flunkers, where's the hype? <---- Rumors of seniors going to Cherry St. tonight. Senior meeting tonight because the regularly scheduled meeting tomorrow will be consumed by Flunk? <-- Senior meeting carries on with or without Flunk, it's a nice off-campus option for seniors after a day of Flunking.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow is Flunk Day. Lets build the HYPE!!!<br />
<br />
9:08 PM - Feeling flunk vibrations in the loins. Been right every year thus far. My "space needle" as they call it picks up flunk vibrations on a frequency of 501KiloKnox. Boom! Clearly, the flunk is tomorrow. <-- This really could be huge. Or really flaccid.<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
Y'all gonna be ok if tomorrow is not Flunk Day? I'm genuinely concerned. <------ Think we have all begun to make our own flunk day.<br />
<br />
10:57 THE MUD PIT IS ON FIREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE<---Seriously? This could be bad.<br />
<br />
11:11 PM A reliable source reports, "The wheels on the bus go round and round".<br />
<br />
11:12 PM (Retrospectively). The Flunk Day Gnomes have seen fit to undermine the naysayers in the hopes of keeping Flunk Spirit alive and well. <br />
<br />
Flunk, flunk, flunk flunk. Flunky. Flunk Flunk Flunk Flunk Flunk Flunk. Flunk <----- THIS COULD BE HUGE<br />
<br />
^ I think the most important part of the article cited above was the mention of TEA CUP RIDES.<br />
<br />

<br />
12:00AM Awkward salmon two way on a Unicorn. Tomorrow must be flunk day! <----- CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
12:03 AM. Does anyone know if the food has even arrived? I don't think I've seen that on here, and that's pretty crucial. Also, didn't we catch breeze of who the mystery performer was around this time last year? <---- Rick Astley spotted in the Holiday Inn parking lot! Sorry for the shaky footage, but at least I got something on my phone (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ) <--- A poorly disguised Rick Roll to say the least. I'll give it a C for effort.<br />
<br />
12:15 AM something just heard outside Tompkins about 5:30. Perhaps for friar summons? <--- although that is a known habitat for seniors, it is far to early for such shenanigans. <br />
<br />
less whining about the mud pit and more evidence! Come on people, '''THE TIME IS NIGH'''!!!<br />
<br />
I'm not saying it isn't Flunk day. But it isn't flunk day. <------ Factually false, for any true scholar of the Flunk sciences knows that Flunk day always exists tomorrow until it doesn't, but now is not tomorrow. <----CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
I've heard from student caf workers that the shipment has indeed arrived and that it is being "prepared" as we speak. <----PROOF! WE NEED PROOF! SOMEONE CHECK TO SEE IF THE LIGHTS IN THE CAF ARE ON! <--- Holy shit, they are!<----Caf workers seem like they got it all going on this year, THIS COULD BE HUGE!!! [[File:S9DSt.jpg]]<----CONFIRMED I"M A CAF STUDENT WORKER AND I"VE SEEN THE FOOD IN THE BASEMENT!!! PREPARE EL DIA DE FLUNK!<----Just saying, they could be specifically turning lights on for this. I work in the mailroom and my boss told me that she has told campus safety to turn the lights on downstairs the past couple of nights...<br />
<br />

<br />
ALL THE TIME I JUST FEEL LIKE THIS LITTLE CRAZY DUDE "SPAAAAACEEE" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeKMS62GrTI<br />
<br />
1:31 AM- Sleep little dumplings, let the day of flunk dance in your dreams. For tomorrow may very well be flunk. The only truth we have is the truth in our gut. Let the gospel of R. Kelly speak to you; and Kells said "My mind's telling me no...but my body, my body is telling me yeah." And thus the following morning the friars awoke the young ones, and all chaos was restored in the flunk kingdom. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAXxkNaRkp8<br />

<br />
The moon is GORGEOUS. Just like a pre-Flunk Day moon would be...<br />

2:09 AM - Wait...Flunk Day theme is space. Flunk Day is a huge disaster. When there are disasters in space (or high altitudes) astronauts say "Mayday mayday!" Today is May 1, otherwise known as May Day, a day of MAY-rry-making! <---This could be HUGE! <--- [http://https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D67kmFzSh_o UNDENIABLE PROOF!]<br />
<br />
2:27 I'm so delirious by doing so much homework at this point it has to be Flunk Day... Right?.. RIGHT?<br />
<br />
3:00 AM - [http://weknowmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/there-it-goes-the-last-fuck-i-give.gif Its about that time...]<br />
<br />
Is there any current activity on campus??!! Anyone?! :( it's 3.41am! Where's the flunk action!?<br />
<br />
Honestly, I don't care anymore, I have been teased enough. Spring term has been hard enough as it is without a day to catch up on stuff or at least take a break from all this madness. If it isn't today I'm just going to drop out this term, my head is fried and I cant take it anymore. <----It sounds like you need more than a flunk day....:( I really hope you take the time to take care of yourself...your mental well being is more important than an essay/midterms/reading/ect. In the words of Tom Haverford and Donna Meagle, "Treat. Yo. Self!" <3 <---- can I marry you?<---Sorry, I don't believe in getting married for love...only for tax purposes. :P<br />
<br />
5:29 AM: The sun is rising...is the flunk rising with it?<br />
<br />
5:37AM: I hate everyone on union board right now. <--- Word. <---- Confirmed.<br />
<br />
5:43AM: I just heard someone leave from exec....could it have been Andrei?<br />
<br />
5:47 AM: Campus safety sitting in a gator parked next to the mud pit. Is he preparing for Flunk Day or the riots that will happen if it's not? <-----THIS SERIOUSLY COULD BE HUUUUUUGEEE!!!! <---pics or it's not happening<br />
<br />
5:50 AM: It is seriously too quite...<br />
<br />
5:50 Saw Knox photographer strolling outside I-House!!!<br />
<br />
5:52 AM: An "Ow ow!!!" cat call was heard coming in the direction from the Hamblin parking lot.<--Followed by students running past the Quickie and down Academy. <---I did hear the sound of running footsteps!!!!<br />
<br />
5:58 AM: FLUNK NOISES!!!!!<---False positive.<br />
<br />
IS THERE ANYTHING GOING ON IN THE QUADS?<br />
<br />
ITS FUCKING FLUNK DAY!!!!!<br />
<br />
== May 6 ==<br />
<br />
This is a Monday in the first full week of May. Statistically speaking, this day is lookin' good.<br />
<br />
it's [[Gabrielle Rajerison]]'s birthday!! she is just sassy enough that the planners might have listened to her assuredly convincing argument that flunk day be today.<br />
<br />
Let's keep it simple. This is Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
== May 7 ==<br />
<br />
There is a 65% chance that Flunk Day is before May 7. So sayeth the Gods of Flunk. <--- My Honors defense is May 7. My committee says I have to defend regardless of Flunk. There is only one way to deal with this possibility. <--- Be drunk all the time? <---- Click click pow click rabbit hands looking frantically around the room.<br />
<br />
[[File:Flunkkkkkkk.jpg]]<br />
<br />
FLUNK DAY IS TOMORROW (AND MAY 7TH)<br />
<br />
I do not believe these emails. I do not believe them. I HOPE THE PERSON WHO MADE THEM DIES A SLOW, PAINFUL DEATH.<-----Honestly this is pretty god damned impressive if you ask me. This could all be forged but this is one hell of an effort. (Humbled slow clapping)<---- ADMISSIONS never knows when the Flunk happens. <-- [[Alyssa Gill]] emailed [[Sarah Colangelo]] about these emails. This was her response: "FAKE. I would never provoke a discussion about local sports. It's nice work, though." In addition, [[Sam Auch]] looked up the student in question and she is a freshman at that high school. Fake fake fake. <---Props to Ms. Gill.<<<<QUEEN OF WIKIFIRE FLUNK<br />
<br />
SARAH COLANGELO LOVES FLUNK DAY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTFWmdvBbZE <----- Sarah Colangelo is a huge Troll she knows better than to let anything slip even if she did know. <br />
<br />
THERE IS NO FLUNK DAY.<br />
<br />
(Logically, though, how would someone have gotten access to Scolange's email account?) <--- Well, while it might not be full access, you can generally access at least one of someones sent messages by first emailing them. After that, you might receive a sent message from them in your inbox regarding the message you sent. I know its only one message but its something. Sometimes you can respond to the message you received and get even more messages from them too!<br />
<br />
Prospies have been on campus before during Flunk day... doubtful that admissions knows the date.<-- Confirmed, admissions never knows the date.<br />
<br />
The flunk day committee, being considerate as they are, will wait until after next pay period before throwing down the flunk. At least I hope so! I'm not prepared!<br />
<br />
== May 8 ==<br />
<br />
Date of UB music event changed to May 8th from the 11th. <---Moved due to a Knox Dems event that day<br />
<br />
[[Liz Carlin-Metz]], Professor and Smith V. Brand Endowed Chair in Theatre Arts, told her directing class that Flunk Day should be on May 8. And thus our queen has spoken, and so it shall be. <--- it's true the theatre professors wield more power than you might think <--- Not that much power. <--- no it's true it has to do with the scheduling of theatre plays and stuff. they're doing like a new play carnival they have to have the schedule so they can plan when the plays are gonna be. <--- Not confirmed. <--- no, it's true i talked to this girl who is in the New Play Carnival! <--- Liz is ruler of all and the godmother of empress Blue Ivy (as well as BFFs with her mother The Queen Bey so that they may bask in each others fabulosity and be drunk) and therefore holds all of the power. She also holds the unofficial title of the Petting Zoo Keeper at this [[New Plays Carnival]]. <--- Not true at all. Liz Carlin Metz has little power. She is just a woman who thinks way too highly of herself and lets everyone around her know it. <--- Your mom is just a woman who thinks way too highly of herself and lets everyone around her know it. She has little power––in bed! <--- Confirmed. <--- guys it's the new play festival not the new play carnival<br />
<br />
== May 9 ==<br />
<br />
JPow thinks Flunk Day is May 9. Just sayin'. <--JPow predicted that this was the Flunk Date LAST YEAR. He will prove to be incorrect again!<br />
<br />
== May 13 ==<br />
<br />
Why is this day even here?<br />
<br />
== June 8 ==<br />
<br />
Graduation Flunk Day!<br />

== '''Preparing Yourself for the Final Flunk''' ==<br />
[[File:flunkitup.jpg]] [[File:Screen shot.png]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Any good Flunk Day celebration is well-prepared. Keep these tips in mind when you work yourself up watching for suspicious food trucks and random carnival rides!<br />
<br />
1. Go buy your booze now. The worst thing that could happen is to be caught off guard with nothing to set your morning off right!<br />
<br />
2. Check the Wiki Fire often. Post the conspicuous looking shit you see around campus/town and don't be a dick.<br />
<br />
3. E-mail, bother, and/or harass the known Flunk Day planners/accomplices: Jil Gates, Deb Southern, Jack Moore, Regina Rosenbrock, Kaitlyn Duling. Watch Jack at all hours of the day. He is the Lord of the Flunk. See where he goes, write it down here!<br />
<br />
4. Dig the damn mudpit already! <--as a former Conger/Neal resident, I can tell you it will take MUCH longer and be MUCH harder than you think! Have extra shovels hidden in your rooms, because anything left in the suite can be confiscated. Lookouts are a must, have them positioned by West street, on the other side of the Center for Intercultural Life, as well as someone in Neal or Conger 3 for better long-range visibility. Dig a little bit every night because it is seriously SO FUCKING HARD to dig a hole in the ground! <--- also, if campus safety happens to catch you digging, do not run into your building still wearing your muddy shoes because they will follow your muddy footprints and find you in the basement<br />
<br />
Enlist the help of Sigma Chi. DO it.<br />
<br />
5. Don't be fooled by lawn mowing or the quality of the weather. They mow the lawn nearly every other day in the Spring and there have been many not-so-sunny days of Flunk.<br />
<br />
6. If you don't get all the Xavier and Raptor jokes, see the Flunk Day 2009 page[http://thewikifire.org/index.php?title=Flunk_Day_2009].<br />
<br />
7. Talk to new people. Share Flunk Day hints, clues, and stories. Sharing is caring, especially in the season of Flunk. <br />
<br />
8. Believe everything you see, hear, and read in this wonderful and mysterious time of year. It's all true. We promise.<br />
<br />
9. Don't be a total scrooge about the scares. It's a natural part of spring term at Knox. I mean, the seniors had to wake up even earlier than you AND run around.<br />
<br />
== '''Is it Flunk Day yet?''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
We already told you not to bother with the lawn mowers, but what SHOULD you look for in finding clues? Here are some helpful clues!<br />
<br />
'''Admissions'''<br />
Ask an admissions student worker to note days on the calendar where no visits are scheduled. These days are few and far between - and good hints.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Calendar Events'''<br />
For those who check the Events Calender daily (as all Flunk Day enthusiasts should) be sure to notice any changes that occur in the schedule from week to week. This is a tricky way to find clues, but the most committed investigators will double check other schools' sports schedules and compare them with ours, call to check dates and times, and watch for days with no events listed!<br />
<br />
Note that the calendar is not bound by the honor code; some events may be made up. Additionally, even though a sports event may be scheduled, Flunk Days have occurred when the softball team has had a game, or the golf team has had a tournament.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Helmut and the Cafeteria Staff'''<br />
Watch for him heading into or out of work at odd hours - that has set off the Flunk Day alarm in the past!<br />
<br />
Ask student employees about surprise food shipments.<br />
<br />
And if you happen to be sharing a doobie with a dining services staff member, don't be afraid to take advantage of the situation and just ask. "So, uh, do you know when it is?"<br />
<br />
'''Mailroom'''<br />
<br />
If you see lights on in the Mailroom at an unreasonable hour, it could be the big day. Find a friend who works in the Mailroom and have them keep an eye out for suspicious deliveries or pick-ups!<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Parking Lots, Community Sightings'''<br />
<br />
Get out and procrastinate on all your work by driving around for a few hours a night and check out the local scenery. Notice any large trailer trucks, or carnival rides parked in the WalMart parking lot? Post them here. Pics or GTFO. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Flunk Day Planners'''<br />
<br />
They're stone walls. If you are best friends, roommates, or just sleeping with one of them, ask questions. Pay attention to body language. Bug the shit out of them. Bring the results to your friends at the WikiFire.<br />
Known Planners: <br />
Jack Moore-tallest man on campus. senior.<br />
Regina Rosenbrock: blonde Kappa. junior.<br />
Kaitlyn Duling: Hot. Dark hair. junior.<br />
<br />
Plus one secret one!!!! Probably a senior, doesn't need to be on Union Board. <--How do we know there's a secret one if it's secret?<br />
<br />
'''Rumors and Scares'''<br />
<br />
We can just come right out and say that last year the underclassmen were assholes. Sorry, but we are NOT sorry, and if you live in Post or the Quads (or the vicinity) you ''will'' be woken up for a scare or two. Don't whine about it, we've all been scared once or twice, too. Wake up, question whether today is that magical day, do a shot or two, and go back to bed if it isn't. <br />
<br />
Believe everything. Live every day like it's Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
'''NOW GET TO HINT HUNTING YOU MOTHER FLUNKERS!!'''<br />
<br />
==Pre-Flunk Hunt 2012==<br />
<br />
Xavier was spotted at several different points this summer by several different anonymous sources. Hopping off a boxcar with several drifters, each holding one of his four-footer (or so) bongs, he was said to have torn his shirt off each time while roaring, "FLUUUUUUUNK!" <br />
<br />
Xavier is clearly behind all this unseasonably warm weather we've been having. Flunk Day will be earlier than ever this year as a result!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
The weeks of April 23-27 and April 30- May 4 are the weeks of pre-enrollment but this does not necessarily mean that flunk day will not be in those two weeks. These weeks are the most common weeks for flunk day historically.<br />
<br />
So, the theme of Flunk Day is The Final Flunk, right. Because the end of the world is supposed to happen in this year of 2012. Wouldn't it be just so clever, then, if this year marked the end of Flunk Day as well? As in, no Flunk Day? As in, the rumors that Flunk Day doesn't exist finally come true? THIS COULD BE HUGE. Also, everyone knows [[Teresa Amott]] DOESN'T LIKE FLUNK DAY! <br />
<br />
At 2:24 on March 28, J-Pow predicted Flunk Day would be May 9. That's economics. <-- Furthermore, the Art Dept. is having their once-a-term field trip to the Art Institute of Chicago. So many students will already be excused from classes. Would this not be perfect timing?<br />
<br />
Cody Dailey is currently finalizing his Flunk Day prediction. This could be HUGE. This actually means next to nothing at all.<br />
<br />
Where is the "official email" for Flunk season? --An email regarding "policies and rules" was sent out on April 18 last year.<br />
<br />
At 11:53 on April 4, the official Flunk Day email is sent out. Obviously Flunk Day is TOMORROW! --> It was a particularly classy Flunk Day e-mail and included pictures and bullet points. Maybe they think if they illustrate Flunk Day they can convince us it already happened? <br />
-----> early flunk day email + summer in march = EARLIEST FLUNK DAY IN HISTORY. <br />
<br />
READ THIS: Admitted Student Days are April 13 and April 20. Flunk day fucks up campus and thus will not happen before all of the precious prospies come to visit. <br />
<br />
Any clue who the planners are this year? <--- Jack Moore, Regina Rosenbrock, Kaitlyn Duling, and a SUPER SECRET FLUNK DAY PLANNER! FIND OUT WHO IT IS!!!! <--Totally and completely false<br />
<br />
NOTE: CAF WORKERS SAID THAT FLUNK DAY FOOD PREPARATION IS ON THERE APRIL CALENDAR!!!<br />
<br />
==April 5th ==<br />
<br />
Flunk day shirts are here. Union Board is selling them AFTER Flunk Day because Flunk Day is tomorrow!<br />
<br />
Jack Moore seen being really tall <---THIS COULD BE HUGE! <---Rumor: Jack Moore is "huge." <---MMhmm. CONFIRMED. <br />
<br />
Debbie Southern heard chatting with Jil Gates before Flunk Day email was sent out about how it would "catch them off guard."<br />
<br />
Spotted: JPow walking across the gizmo patio saying how he's "ready for flunk day".<br />
<br />
It isn't even April 5th yet guys... <---FLUNK DAY HAS NO BOUNDARIES, rookie mistake. Wait, so you can see into the future?<br />
<br />
Today is Wednesday, but it's almost over, which means it's almost Thursday. Therefore, it's almost Friday. So Flunk Day will be tomorrow.<br />
<br />
looks like he's taking a break from hunting vampires... ABE IS IN THE HOUSE!!! <--- This could be HUGE!! can someone confirm?! <---I have visual confirmation!! <--- Pics or it didn't happen.<br />
<br />

11:54pm seniors are seen leaving Hamblin, exclaiming "we need to get our stash PRONTO!"<br />

<br />

There's a baseball game on the schedule for 6:30 PM. Our field doesn't have lights. Interesting.<br />
<br />
The game is at Galesburg High School, they have lights CONFIRMED.<br />
<br />
All this talk of people digging the mud pit is false. Get on that, quads.<br />
<br />
Planners seen entering Old Main and exiting one hour later...Flunk?! <----you waited them out?<br />
<br />
Just heard Regina and Kaitlyn planning a booze run- flunky flunk tomorrow, definitely. <--False. Junior planners can't drink on Flunk Day<br />
<br />
7:56 PM -- Helmut was hanging around the caf a little late tonight...just spotted him leaving!<br />
<br />
Rumors are running around that tomorrow could be the big day...could it be? A flunk day this early? Remember, the Safety e-mail hasn't gone out yet. But you'd <br />
better get your stashes ready...<br />
<br />
<br />
COME ON CONGER/NEAL! GET GOING ON THAT MUDPIT!<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
Rick Santorum dropped out of the race so he could make it to Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
BREAKING NEWS: Maddie Davis, secret Flunk Day planner?! <-----Evidence?? From Galesburg, knows Knox well, works in the mailroom, lives with Rachel Hautzinger a UB member...NEED I SAY MORE?!<br />
<br />
Any updates on the MUDPIT!? <---- the mud pit is dryer than a desert <-- Still no mudpit at 11:00pm <br />
<br />
Carrie and Rachel spotted digging the mudpit with red solo cups in their hands! <---Can you confirm?? <---Carrie didn't even help with the mudpit last year and she lived in Neal. Tomorrow MUST be Flunk day <---False, she watched for campus safety and screamed obscenities out the window.<br />
<br />
<br />
11:08 PM Maddie Davis is hammered right now <---- THIS COULD BE HUGE!<----- THIS COULD BE ANY DAY OF THE WEEK! <---God damnit.<br />
<br />
11:11pm Kaitlyn Duling spotted leaving her house headed towards campus. Dressed too nice for it to be Flunk Day tomorrow. <-----Kaitlyn always dresses pretty nice, to be fair. <--- I was wearing a suit earlier tonight, does that mean no flunk tomorrow? I think NO CORRELATION! <-- Confirmed! She was wearing a dress but had a bag, perhaps with extra clothes. These planners will go to all lengths to trick everyone<br />
<br />
11:15pm Papers covering the mail room windows means no evidence for Flunk Day Foolery <---pics? they haven't covered the windows in years past [http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae62/zackymichel/MailRoom11pm.jpg]<br />

<br />
11:37 p.m. Rachel Hautzinger cannot be contacted <--- SHE IS NOT IN HER APARTMENT! <-- CONFIRMED!<br />
<br />
11:38 p.m. Participants in the Aerial Dance company classes just received an e-mail saying tomorrow's class has been CANCELLED - there is NO reason to do that!!! - unless it's Flunk Day!!! <--- Can you confirm this? <--Yes, I'm in it, I'm taking the MW class and I just got it.

<br />
This is the second day of the Almost There Fair, which all graduating seniors must attend to get their cap and gown, etc. Thus Flunk Day would not be on this day because that would mess up graduation for a good number of students, who were planning to go buy their stuff on the 11th. No Flunk Day. <---Why not reschedule?

<br />
9:45 AM - Trucks innocently delivering food to Cafe; however, food today sucked. Anaylsis : Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
== April 13th ==<br />
Could the flunkopalypse be coming on Friday the 13th?!?! Prospies are supposed to be here but it could just be the most bad ass open house of all time. They won't Flunk on a Friday <br />
<br />
Student workers in admissions have reportedly still not received their work schedules for the open house today. Could admissions be in on the hoax? <-- Tour guides still don't have their schedules for Friday. Is this normal?<br />
<br />
The 13th and the 20th are listed as admitted students days, but the calendar is suspicious. If you click on the 13th, it sends you to a page to "register" to come to campus, but only has the 20th listed as an option. (http://www.knox.edu/prebuilt/forms/admittedstudentdays2.asp) Conversely, on the 20th, there is nothing indicating you have to register. They haven't had Flunk Day on Friday before, but maybe Friday the 13th is too good to pass up? <-- False. Flunk Day HAS been on a Friday before. Friday the 13th Flunkpocalypse...Could it get any better than that?<br />
<br />
^There is most certainly an admitted students day on the 13th. I have a friend from home who is checking out Knox that day. No way would the campus be Flunked up for parents of admitted students.<br />
<br />
== April 15th ==<br />
<br />
Holy crap! Suspicious caf activity! Helmut is there cooking and none of the students were allowed to do food preparation! <---Can we get confirmation of Helmut's car on campus? <- Fishy caf activity confirmed, cannot confirm on Helmut's car.<br />
<br />
Helmut or no Helmut, the Paul Greenberg "Four Fish" lecture is tomorrow. Seems like way too big of name and event to coincide with Flunk Day...? <--- My professor was pretty pissed that they don't even know when Flunk Day is and that they had to "submit" dates back in winter term to "not hold Flunk day"... I am guessing Greenberg wasn't finalized by then... OR is this a cover up event.. I heard they did those before! <---Dear freshman, you are correct, but this is Paul Greenberg. The amount of work put in to get him here was astronomical. Flunk Day is tomorrow...but it is not tomorrow. <-- Ever heard of misdirection? Paul Greenberg will be here Wednesday.<br />
<br />
Spotted: Kaitlyn and Regina scurrying towards campus <- Confirmed! away from Tompkins, where Jil Gates AND Jack live. Flunk day tomorrow????<br />
<br />
Can we get an update on the mud pit??<br />
<br />
I don't think Greenberg is really coming to campus- Jil Gates and Cindy could not give details of his talk meaning they never saw a contract- every club leader knows those 2 review every contract on campus. Flunk Day is tomorrow!!!!<br />
<br />
http://www.fourfish.org/speaking.html <--- He doesn't have another speaking event for a week. He could easily be rescheduled for Tuesday or Wednesday and stay in a hotel until then. <--- why is the time on the website still TBD?? It's tomorrow, shouldn't that be specified? <-------It says 5pm on Knox's events calendar. <-- They never put false information on the events calendar.<---You're a freshman<br />
<br />
Lights on in the caf! Flunk Day is tomorrow! <--- can you confirm? this could be HUGE <-- PICTURES?? <---- PICTURES OR GTFO. <--see the Flunk Day twitter. Pics are up, but I would like to note that the caf's lights are never ALL the way out. They always keep a few on. So this may NOT be huge. <-- Are these the lights that are normally on, though? <-- don't you think this is a fairly valid prank for the planners to pull on us? <br />
<br />
Saw Jil Gates get out of a car, grab something fairly large from the driver's window and race into her apartment. Flunk day is tomorrow.<br />
<br />
ATTN CONGER/NEAL: please use all of this shitty, rainy weather to make some headway on the flunkin' mud pit!<br />
<br />
== April 16th ==<br />
<br />
1:53 a.m. I was supposed to be emailed by Sunday night if my boss needed me to come into work on Monday...and yet I have received no such email. Flunk?<br />
<br />
1:56 a.m. This page is not nearly as active as it should be. No Flunk. <-- or is it so obviously inactive that YES Flunk?!?<br />
<br />
2:04 a.m. Some interesting photos posted to the Flunk Day Twitter account... https://twitter.com/#!/FlunkDay<br />
<br />
3:28 a.m. No activity on this page or on the Flunk Day Twitter in over an hour. Suspicions quelled.<br />
<br />
4:00 a.m. Mailroom lights and bookstore lights still on, as well as mail room windows covered. Kitchen lights in caf and oak room kitchen are on. Mudpit is fresh and muddy WITH fresh mudtracks from shoes. THIS COULD BE HUGE<br />
<br />
4:45 a.m. SPOTTED campus safety in the caf talking to one of the seymour maintenance guys.<br />
<br />
5:45 am. Scare or Flunk?<br />
<br />
<br />
Campus Grounds workers are mowing the lawns!!! THIS COULD BE HUGE!<br />
<br />
Spotted in Old Main, Monday morning 8:30 - Helmut and a bunch of other people at Dean Southern's office, meeting. <---who was the "bunch" of people? <--- Couldn't see it properly. Helmut was blocking the ways.<br />
<br />
Conger/Neal get digging on the Mudpit! Use your hands like spades, if you have too.<br />
<br />
OVERHEARD: Kyle Szuta in the computer center "looking forward to Tuesday at home". Random vacation day, or flunk day miracle?<br />
<br />
Quickie owner asked if I was ready for flunk day. IT MUST BE TOMORROW!<br />
<br />
72 degrees and sunny tomorrow? PERFECT<br />
<br />
On Monday afternoon, the Chicago Knox Club sent an invite to alumni for "Flunk Day -- Whenever that is! 4:00 to 8:00 p.m." at Moonshine in Wicker Park. "Whenever" must be thinly-veiled code for tomorrow.<br />
<br />
Sue Hulett sent out a Flunk Day contingency email to at least one of her classes this afternoon. <----screen shot or it didn't happen <--- here's the text, in Sue's signature haphazard style and random capitalization: <br />
<br />
"IF FLUNK Day is Tuesday the 17th-- THEN Quiz on Thursday the 19th and whole schedule moves down one day.<br />
<br />
IF FLUNK DAY IS MONDAY the 16th be ready for QUIZ on Tuesday the 17th -- Class will start at 11am & I will lecture for 50 minutes and then give you the quiz.<br />
<br />
Ideas on General Systems Theory (GST) paper which is due on 4/24 at this point. If FD is Monday the 23rd. CLASS on the 24th will be from 10:40-11:40 and PAPER DUE BY 9am on the 25th. Cheers, Sue" <--- there is also a cat cartoon but I chose not to include that. <-- Why.<br />
<br />
<br />
Mixed up my weeks and went in to see Teresa Amott, but her secretary said she was traveling. Butttt I saw a light on in her office and heard movement in there. Flunk Day? haha butt < IT COULD BE HUGE<br />
<br />
Mysterious special Flunk Day opportunity to be presented at Union Board meeting.<---Is this the 'mystery flunk day performance' event on facebook?? <-- Would they really post this the day before Flunk Day?<br />
<br />
5:25pm. Two helicopters seen flying over the Quads. FLUNK DAY TOMORROW <--- CONFIRMED!<br />
<br />
6:17 pm Senate dining services meeting canceled for tonight....committee leader is a planner...THIS COULD BE HUGE<---CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
6:20 pm. No cookies in the caf tonight. There are ALWAYS cookies. Flunk day is tomorrow. <--- Any confirmation? Sadly, this could be HUUUUGE! <--- Actually, whenever they have the panellet sweet potato bar things, there are no cookies (source--I've worked in the bakery).<----nobody actually likes teh sweet potato bars- saving the good stuff for tomorrow?! <br />
<br />
Kaitlyn and Regina seen at Walmart stocking up on supplies for the big day. Flunk is upon us. <-- Junior planners can't drink on Flunk Day. They have to drive the gators and be sober. They're messing with us.<--- CONFIRMED. They're flunking with us. <---Who says the supplies were alcohol? You can't see what they're buying in the picture. Maybe it's other stuff for the flunk <-- the picture circulating is for sure from the alcohol aisle in walmart<-- no it's not, you can see flowers in a cooler which means it's the front aisle by the produce. BOOM. <-- Produce is essential for Flunk Day. <br />
<br />
7:01 PM - the Knox-Monmouth baseball game was rescheduled from Saturday to the 17th, but the 17th is Scots Day at Monmouth - their version of Flunk Day! Would they really agree to schedule a baseball game on the day of their own spring carnival?<----the game is not on their schedule. The schedule states they will play at Knox on the 21st <--- CONFIRMED! Monmouth has no games scheduled tomorrow!<--- The Monmouth game is a rescheduled game from the previous weekend. If people paid attention to the sports teams, maybe they would know this shit<----CONFIRMED, care more people...Also, it is encouraged to treat tomorrow as flunk day and come drunkenly support your student athletes --Monmouth is still scheduled to play tomorrow. <---CONFIRMED <-- They are playing even though it is their carnival? Seems fishy.<---It's a conference game, it needs to be played and weekends are booked. <-- it would have been scheduled after Flunk Day was finalized, so it may just conflict. <---Monmouth player has confirmed that in fact they are being forced to play on Scots Day.<--- I think we can all agree that baseball/softball means nothing to the campus excepting relevant parents and teammates; Meaning, el dia de flunk could be tomorrow.<--- Confirmed!<br />
<br />
7:45pm - seven very different Knox seniors spotted at Hyvee Wine and Spirits stocking up on all things Flunk <-- CONFIRMED. <br />

<br />
9:44pm - Kathleen Drake leaves Senate Finance Committee early. Flunk day preparations? THIS COULD BE RIDONKULOUSLY HUGE!!!<br />
<br />

<br />
9:45pm- Seniors and Faculty members seen buying their Flunk Day stash at Hy fee Liquor<br />
<br />
9:56pm-Jil Gates blinds are completely shut. Lights are on.<----Always---> After some investigation, JG BF was seen drinking something in the apartment. Definitely Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY NO ONE IS DIGGING THE MOTHERFLUNKING MUD PIT!!!! It seriously takes forever, so get on that shit, Conger/Neal!!! OR ANYONE WITH A SHOVEL AND THE TINIEST HINT OF FLUNK SPIRIT! <---- don't leave muddy footprints and get caught (i won't name names)!!<br />
<br />
10:09PM - CONGER/NEAL DIG THE MUD PIT. THE WHOLE FUNNESS OF FLUNK DAY DEPENDS ON YOUUUUUU!!!!!!!<br />

<br />
10:20pm - a group of six(?) random seniors seen inspecting the mud pit and getting dirt? whaaaaat <---That's cause Conger/Neal is slacking and the Seniors have to step up to the plate. C'MON CONGER/NEAL!!! <-- SOMEONE HAD BETTER DIG THIS PIT!<br />
<br />
10:25pm - large group of seniors seen in front of the Stucco apartments (across from the Quickie), home to a notorious group of Flunk enthusiasts. Possible scheme hatchery for tomorrow?<br />
<br />
10:28pm Haley Beeson does not answer her phone. 2 TIMES IN A ROW! FLUNK DAY IS TOMORROW <-- 4 times! <-- 12 TIMES!<br />
<br />
11:04 pm Regina and Kaitlyn with milkshakes. Why? And where's Jack Moore?<br />
<br />
11:20 pm Three seniors spotted tending the mud pit with household items. Items identified as tupperware, mop and recycling bin. <br />
<br />
11:21 pm One of the three seniors identified as Julia Shenkar. Entirely impossible. It must be flunk day. <br />
<br />
11:25 p.m. Campus Safety spotted guarding the mud pit. Not entirely relevant to Flunk suspicions, but pretty funny.<br />
<br />
11:35 pm Sigma Chi is on fire. First asteroid of the final flunk? <---confirmed<br />
<br />
11:39pm - Lots of student traffic at the Quickie. All exiting with tall brown bags. Quickie stashes, therefore FLUNK.<br />
<br />
Everybody, get your shit together. When posting on the WikiFire about a day being Flunk Day, you post in the section devoted to that day. All of this should be under April 17th. Stop being idiots. Even my freshman friend understood this. We go to Knox. Use your brain. <-- It doesn't make sense to post things happening at 5PM on the 16th under the 17th. Students at Knox should be able to figure out how to scroll up. <-- dunno, people are posting in both and im confused <----MASS HYSTERIA!? apocolyptic zoombie brain? ARE YOU ALREADY DRUNK?<br />
<br />
11:45pm JUST SENT EMAIL TO JIL GATES....RECEIVED THIS AUTOMATED EMAIL IN RESPONSE <br />
<br />
"Good Day,<br />
<br />
I will be out of the office Tuesday April 17th. I return to campus Wednesday April 18th and will respond to emails when then. <br />
<br />
If you need immediate assistance, please contact campus security at 309.341.7979.<br />
<br />
Thank you. Have a wonderful day and better tomorrow.<br />
<br />
Keep the Joy!!!<br />
<br />

<br />
12:02 am: Our illicit cat is causing a ruckus. SHE knows it's Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
12:13 Just Spotted at Walmart! Group of seniors leaving with shovels and other flunk day supplies! <br />
<br />
Has anyone seen any actual suspicious activity? Flunk preparations do not necessitate Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
The windows in the mailroom were covered. <--- pics or it didn't happen.<br />
<br />
A girl who graduated last year who works at the Landmark says Roger and Ann Taylor were in for dinner tonight!<br />
<br />
== April 17th ==<br />
12 am-- Trash bags covering the windows in the mail room. WENT NUTS. <br />
<br />
Sherwood Kiraly is not teaching a class today <--- OBVIOUSLY FLUNK DAY!<br />
<br />
Zumba is cancelled for tomorrow. Clearly it will be Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
this would be the perfect day to have flunk day!!! just enough time to get cleaned up before admitted students day on the 20th and have campus looking nice for installation week.<br />
<br />
Henry, caf worker, claims the food order will arrive on the 16th. They wouldn't want the food to spoil, would they? <---Has the food shipment arrived? <-- Can anyone confirm? This could be HUGE<br />
<br />
Overheard two caf workers saying "Tuesday is going to be awful." Preparations for the delicious breakfast bar already??!!<---You know a freshman wrote this because breakfast is the worst meal of Flunk Day, and never a bar. <---I wish it was a bar<--Helmet is trying to kill us by giving us only orange juice and tiny bagels to soak up the booze.<---I believe they are pronounce BAGels. <br />
<br />
Ryan Stoens seen taking Extra Protein its gotta on this day. <-----CONFIRMED...THIS COULD BE HUGE, He usually lays off the stuff during season so there must be a special occasion...FLUNK?<---- poor guy is an addict.<__ should put that stuff to work on the mud pit! <---rumor has it he may have helped for about 15 minutes last year, hes done his part <- Clearly some baseball guys <----Clearly somebody has a hatred for the baseball team, which I personally do not see. I mean have you guys seen them in those baseball pants?? Clearly going to be FLUNK<-- bunch of freshman nicknames clearly dont know crap about what theyre talkinabout!! <---Damn freshmen baseball players, Make a play sparrow...pussy <---- Who is Ryan Stoens? Quit talking about randos. This isn't the Baseball Wiki-Its the Flunk Day wiki Losers.<---Shut up Lahti, give us Hoff back <----CONFIRMED...we miss him...also good creative name<-- AGREED/ Double CONFIRMED THIS IS BIIIIIIG!!! <----------------- LOL! oops. well shit. also he has not been with me all day and you can have him anytime you want. besides the point.<-- We shall take him THAN! <-- he is all yours!<br />
<br />
Seniors seen stocking up at Wal-Mart on bottles, glitter and ALCOHOL!!! It is not too early for Flunk Day!!! IT IS TOMORROW. <------Confirmed. Saw them 2. But where's this mudpit?? <----- AGREED. DIG THE GOD DAMN MUDPIT<---Also agreed. Stupid ass people and their lack of digging. Show a little respect for classic video games. (yes, clutch Dig Dug reference)<------------Knox folks spotted at Hy-Vee Liquor. Stocking up for some flunkage? <---CONFIRMED!!<-- heard there is a mulcher on its way mudpit is about TO BE DOMINATED!!!!!<---If by mulcher you mean Kelly Ricketts, then yes the mud pit is about to be dominated. <br />
<br />
Overheard Coach Eisele, a.k.a. the Athletic Director, saying that there was no way that the students would expect Flunk Day tomorrow because of the "rescheduled" baseball game. Was also told that later on in the day he laughed maniacally and twirled an imaginary mustache.<----Mustache CONFIRMED!!<br />
<br />
Lukas Shaw "if it is flunk day tomorrow, words will not even begin to describe my rage" Its gotta be flunk day tomorrow just to piss him off! THIS IS BIG! HE IS BIG!<------ CONFIRMED! HAVE YOU SEEN THAT GUY? HE'S HUGE!!<br />
<br />
The only real thing on the calendar is a flute recital. The Flunk will definitely not be put on hold for a flute recital.<br />
<br />
Matt Barry seen walking around with an empty red gasoline can full of dollar bills and change and ordering extra hot hamburgers? TOMORROW IS FLUNK DAY!<br />
W1<br />
Anna Casey seen sending text messages with her brain. Calling together her android friar army, perhaps? Guys, this is it.<------- Confirmed. Anna Casey is a boss I've see her move boulders and betas with her wit. <br />
<br />
SNU brothers are mixing dark chocolate sizzurp on their porch. The Wonka theme was last year, bros.<br />
<br />
A GIANT black cat jumped through the window <--- IT WAS HUGE<br />
<br />
Just had two seniors abruptly sign off facebook chat on me. Either i'm a total loser or there's flunk in the air... <--- Confirmed, seniors are acting strange and disappearing. Very suspicious. <--- CONFIRMED!!! 1:51 AM - same here! my roommate is a senior.. not back in the room, he abruptly left earlier.<br />
<br />
2:00 AM Jonothan Bass is going to Mcdonald's < ---- CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
Here's some conspiracy for you all. The date -> 4/17/12 -> 4+17=21 -> 21/12 -> 12/21 is the day the world is supposed to end. Think about it.<br />
<br />
2:30 AM Tomorrow is flunk day, therefore today cannot be the big day.<br />
<br />
2:40 AM WHERE ARE THE SENIORS PEOPLE <---- planning a scare <---- CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
3:41 AM any activity around mailroom or caf?<br />
<br />
6:03 AM: Girls with pans outside Williston! But no email yet, and there probably won't be. Still pretty great.<br />
<br />
6:10 AM: FLUNK DAY'S TOMORROW!<br />
<br />
MOST LEGIT SCARE EVER. Good job guys. I was checkin my email. <-- CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
6:30 AM: Drum circle of seniors in the quads. Poor guys, I think they thought it was Flunk Day ;)<br />
<br />
I hope that scare knocked some sense in to Conger-Neal. GROW SOME BALLS AND WORK ON THE DAMN MUDPIT TONIGHT! Sincerely, a concerned senior. <--- CONFIRMED. Some scarers made sure to throw what mud was there at Conger-Neal. Make it happen!<br />
<br />
==April 18th ==<br />
<br />
Jillian Staley is a LIAR! The most IMPORTANT AND FUN thing Conger-Neal residents can do in the season leading up to Flunk Day is to dig the mudpit! You wanted to live there. Take responsibility for your actions!!<br />
<br />
The Flunk Day food shipment is supposedly scheduled to arrive on Monday, which would give Wednesday a high probability of being el dia de flunk.<br />
<br />
Today is most definitely Flunk Day. A townie walking their dog said they heard word of it. Monmouth's (not as good) equivalent of flunk day was the 17th. Think about it. <--CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
Maintenance is going HAM on the lawn care. Today's gotta be the day<br />
<br />
Confirmed, the food shipment arrived in Tuesday April 17th. Today is still a possibility <-- Who is confirming this? How do you know it is food for Flunk?<---I will not reveal her/his name but they are a distinguished member of the caf staff. <--- If this is actually true, it's sort of ironic that while we were doing the scare this morning, the Flunk Day feast was being delivered. Too bad no one interrogated the truck driver.<br />
<br />
The wiki has gone silent. Exactly what the planners want. <--- I was just on my way over to start some things..<br />
<br />
Tomorrow does seem pretty unlikely, but perhaps we just aren't digging deep enough for clues! Start hunting y'all!<br />
<br />
Campus safety was definitely out patrolling A LOT today... preparations for tomorrow?<---Not only is Campus Safety out but the baseball team swept Monmouth today, tomorrow must be Flunk<---campus safety circled the mudpit in their mules a few time today <--- RIGHT BECAUSE NOTHING SCREAMS 'IT'S FLUNK DAY' LIKE CAMPUS SAFETY DRIVING IN CIRCLES <--- CONFIRMED.<br />
<br />
Shut the front door, we beat Monmouth at a sport? IT'S THE APOCALYPSE TOMORROW IS FLUNK DAY BEGIN DRINKING NOW! <---Confirmed, they will lose two more times this weekend also<br />
<br />
Call Me Maybe = Best Flunk Day Song Ever <---CONFIRMED, maybe Carley Rae Jepsen will be the performer? <- no, but STILL a better love story than twilight. <--CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
9:03 PM Caf workers seen leaving the caf via the loading dock, isn't that a bit later than they usually leave? <--- No, the last shift ends at 9. <- OMG LOL CAF WORKERS DOING WHAT THEY NORMALLY DO. MUST BE FLUNK DAY. <br />
<br />
9:30 PM A flock of velociraptors is seen circling the campus. <-- VELOCIRAPTORS ARE RELATED TO CHICKENS. ENOUGH SAID. <br />
<br />
9:55 PM ADMITTED STUDENTS DAY IS A LIE! <-- Proof? <-- it isn't a lie, there is an admitted students day. the cake, however, IS a lie. <br />
<br />
ATTN EVERYONE: Wednesday, April 18, is Conan O'Brien's birthday. IT MUST BE FLUNK DAY. TEAM COCO 4 FLUNK! <-- Flunk yeah!<br />
<br />
10:48 PM I just saw Xavier outside of Old Main with a 4-foot bong!! It's tomorrow! <---Confirmed, this could be huge.<br />
<br />
11:25 PM unlikely to have flunk day tomorrow, too many community service activities going on... <-- FALSE. Flunk Day IS community service! <--proof? <br />
<br />
12:10AM Jack Moore seen driving his car and dropping off Vincent Rug at his house near the quads! Vincent Rug= SECRET FLUNK DAY PLANNER!= Jack and Vince working of potential Flunk for TOMORROW. . . Or near FUTURE <-hopefully not tomorrow, it's supposed to be ~50-55 degrees and thunderstorm all day. bawk bawk. <br />
<br />
12:19 AM Heard some strange noises from Seymour loading dock. <-THIS ISN'T UNUSUAL. <-BETA <-- CONFIRMED, NOISES WERE FROM BETAS<br />
<br />
12:58 AM Beta? noises continue. that or velociraptors. maybe both. I really don't want to know at this point. hopefully they don't see their shadow or there'll be 4 more weeks of flunk day waiting!<br />
<br />
4:20 am campus safety taking a nap in founders! must be resting up so he can get his flunk on in a couple hours?<br />
<br />
== April 19th ==<br />
<br />
ZERO EVENTS ON THE CALENDAR: [http://imgur.com/lteL6] <--- False: That is the performance of an Honors Project as well as the middle of Greek Week. <--- easiest Greek Week event ever!!!! It MUST be Flunk Day!!!<---It doesn't matter when Greek Week is, Flunk day has no limitations! Flunk Day is April 19th<---This could be HUGE!<---That's what she said. <- CONFIRMED. SHE DID IN FACT SAY THAT. <br />
<br />
20th is admitted student day -- Amott won't want a Flunked up campus for Friday. <----- Campus is pretty good at cleaning up. Other than the mudpit [which is permanently scarred into the quads. That is, IF IT GETS BUILT], there are few remnants of Flunk Day the day after flunk. <-- broken beer bottles, mud everywhere, hungover students, garbage, messed up lawn, vomit, broken walls/windows/toilets, etc... sooo easy to clean up @_@. your logic is not at all sound. <- CONFIRMED. LOGIC NOT SOUND. NO FLUNK DAY UNTIL AFTER ADMITTED STUDENTS DAY<br />
<br />
Jil Gates was reportedly off campus, all day on Tuesday, April 17th. Could she be meeting with Flunk Day services? Be prepared to Flunk!!<br />
<br />
2:30 PM Regina and Kaitlyn spotted in te campus life office. <-maybe because it's their job. derp. ex: OMG LOLZ CAMPUS SAFETY SPOTTED AT CAMPUS SAFETY!!!!! WHATEVER SHALL WE DO??!?? <br />
<br />
5:03 PM: Jil Gates and Kaitlyn were in the Campus Life office with the main office closed- secret Flunk plans in the works.... FLUNK DAY IS TOMORROW!!! <- FALSE. <br />
<br />
8:33 PM: Kaitlyn has a meeting at 9. FLUNK DAY IS TOMORROW. (Or possibly Monday?) <- CONFIRMED, FLUNK DAY IS MONDAY. Or maybe tomorrow... a prospie last week said they thought about coming to the admitted students day on Friday, so I'm pretty sure there legitimately is one. In that case it definitely WON'T be the 19th or 20th<br />
<br />
I work in the kitchen and one of the freezers I usually get food out of was locked today. This freezer is never locked! IT'S FLUNCK DAY FOOD! <- the fact that it's in the *freezer* supports the argument that "flunck" day is next Monday.<br />
<br />
Maintenance worker said he was looking forward to his "F-word" holiday either Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday of next week. It's happening.<br />
<br />
Liz Oatney seen on the Gizmo patio....MUST be flunk day on Monday.<br />
<br />
== April 20th ==<br />
Email sent at 6.21 this morning:<br />
"MYTH: The Final Flunk cannot happen on a Friday<br />
<br />
FACT: The Final Flunk can happen at any time on any day; yet those who predict the final flunk are all in agreement that it has to be a weekday."<br />
<br />
Is Jill Gates trying to throw us off!?! By so obviously hinting that it will be a Friday, will students assume that it is too clear to actually be a Friday? And therefore, making a Friday Final Flunk Extravaganza a MEGA SURPRISE?!<br />
<br />
This also could apply to April 27th.<br />
<br />
This is an admitted students day. There is no way Flunk Day will be today or Thursday. <--- It would be kind of funny for the admitted students to see campus all FLUNKed up, don't you think? Poor tourguides. "On our right you see students vomiting in the mudpit...."<br />
<br />
It's a good thing Flunk Day wasn't today. People would have died.<br />
<br />
== April 23rd ==<br />
<br />
Get your specs on youngins cuz Flunk Day’s a comin! We’ve survived both Admitted Student Days and now it’s time to gear up for el Dia de Flunk. All signs point to THIS WEEK being optimal Flunk territory: we’ve kicked out the prospies and next week is right before Teresa Amott’s big day (don’t wanna flunk up campus right before all the alums get here). SO! It’s time to start seriously scouting for FLUNK DAY CLUES:<br />
<br />
Any suspicious activity around campus, and I mean any! Nothing is too innocuous to avoid notice and the immediate update of the WikiFire.<br />
<br />
Are the seniors acting weird? Keep an eye on those guys; they’ll try to throw you for a loop!<br />
<br />
What’s happening around Seymour Union? Lights on at odd hours, movement in the mailroom, strange comings and goings? REPORT ALL TO THE WIKIFIRE!<br />
<br />
If you have a car, take it for a spin during the wee hours of the morning. A big indicator this year will be the “mystery performance” of incalculable size. The bigger the show, the harder it is to hide! Look signs of impending ROCK.<br />
<br />
FINALLY, never take your eyes of those illustrious Flunk Day Planners! They know all…and they may let something slip. Be vigilant and may the odds be ever in your favor!<br />

<br />
At 10:59 pm Gregg Lewis sent an email to his voice student saying he was moving studio class tomorrow to friday. He said he would only move the class for FLUNK DAY. <-- And for the mandatory rehearsals for his out-of-town gig. Gregg doesn't know when Flunk Day is, and if he did, he probably wouldn't even realize he had a studio class scheduled for the same day.<br />
<br />
11:45 pm: Just checked all the campus parking lots (and I mean ALL OF THE PARKINGZ) and there was no sign of Helmut's convertible. <----two years ago he was dropped off and his car was not on campus <--- I searched also. I suspect he was dropped off.<br />
<br />
11:50pm: Kaitlyn Duling: If you can make Flunk Day not tomorrow, I will personally buy you band aids for your feet. I will find the same ones Bieber puts on his fingers. http://www.vulture.com/2010/09/justin_bieber_wears_band_aids.html <----Kaitlyn does love Bieber. Possible mystery flunk performer!? <--- I really hope it's not Bieber, I'd rather jump into shark-infested waters during a feeding frenzy<br />
<br />

Clearly a conspiracy to indicate they are preparing the flunk day email...<--CONFIRMED <-- DOUBLE CONFIRMED <--No one reads Steve Hall's emails. <--CONFIRMED <--- BUT WE DIDN'T GET A WARNING ABOUT SYSTEM MAINTENANCE! HE ALWAYS SENDS THOSE! <--[http://www.knox.edu/offices-and-services/information-technology-services/help-desk-support/news-and-alerts.html Check it out], email migration started at midnight.<br />

<br />

<br />
12:35am: Seniors are aware !!! TOMORROW (or today) <b>IS NOT FLUNK DAY!</b> <---- planning a scare DOES NOT mean that they KNOW flunk day is not tomorrow. they don't find out this early <----- They planned a scare last year on the real Flunk Day. That doesn't matter. <br />
<br />
12:43 AM: Gizmo calendar next to the register reads '''FLUNK DAY!''' This is clearly a sign that it's Flunk Day. <--- Pics or it didn't happen. <-- http://imgur.com/55377 Had to take it close because crappy phone camera. This could be HUGE <-- CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
12:49 AM: I'm 12 and what is this? <--- What is this I don't even<br />
<br />
1:06 AM: There's something on the calendar about little kids coming to campus to learn languages. Can anyone confirm if this is real? <-- yes they do it in GDH every Monday<br />
<br />
1:20 AM: 40 seniors were pranked (?) into thinking that they were friars. Phone number is based in North Carolina and the only two people that are from NC are Clarke Cuthbert (no longer going to Knox) and Krista Nordgren, both seniors. <---Can't forget Rachel L.!<br />
<br />
1:57am-Rumor is the friar emails just went out!! Can someone confirm this? <---Server is up, but emails are probably a hoax. THIS COULD BE HUGE.<br />
<br />
1:59 am: Silly Bands are on all of Seymour 3A's doors IT IS FUCKING FLUNK DAY<--What's a silly band and what does this mean??? <<-- Pictures, man, PICTURES! We crave sensible evidence! <----- [[File:Photo_on_2012-04-23_at_02.14.jpg]] ON ALL OF 3A's door knobs but not 3B WHYYYY???<br />

3:12 AM- Javier and Teresa were spotted by the train tracks hitting Javier's four-footer. THIS COULD BE HUGE.<br />
<br />
4:36 AM: Everyone has gone to sleep, seemingly giving up speculating about a monday flunkpocalypse. I am left alone, cold, and procrastinating to hold out against all odds. This could be huge. <-------- You're never alone in the hunt for the Flunk.<br />
<br />
5:12 AM: HELMUT IS HERE! Just saw him walking towards seymour as i walked out to go back to post. <--Does he normally got to breakfast?<br />

<br />
No promise that the 23rd is flunk day but if it isn't we will have to wait until at least Wednesday as there are home softball games on Tuesday. Confirmation on opponents schedule: http://www.mac.edu/athletics/softball/scores.asp <-- Athletic events can be fake. And even if this one isn't, Flunk Day has flunked up athletic events in the past. <--- Flunk Day has occurred on days where there have been away sporting events, not any home ones though. And this ISN'T fake. That was the point in showing the opponents schedule, MacMurray would not put it on their website if it were not actually going to occur. <-- Unless they don't know it's not going to occur...<-- Why isn't MacMurray softball on the Knox events calendar? Suspicious...<br />
<br />
Zumba is cancelled! <br />
<br />
Forrest thinks Flunk Day is today. Forrest always knows. <-- Hippie Forrest? He thought yesterday was flunk day.<br />
<br />
9:20am DINING SERVICES RECEIVING FOOD SHIPMENT RIGHT NOW. <-- I thought they already received the Flunk food? <---- the caf gets a food shipment every weekday. irrelevant<br />
<br />
9:30am What do the Flunk Day shirts look like this year? <--- Sad and grey, like the fact that they didn't do student-designed shirts again. <-- Have you seen the 2010 shirts? Horrible! <--- Sad? who are you kidding- in four years this is the ONLY shirt I WANT to buy and have bought! and it is not typical for a student-designed contest... last year was the only hear I heard of it.<br />
<br />
10:07am Dean Breitborde cancels Tuesday's Curriculum Committee meeting, very rare. <-- http://i40.tinypic.com/2yyo9xk.png <--re-post with the to and from, the image looks sketchy. < -- first of all, go fuck yourself. Sketchy? incorrect: http://i40.tinypic.com/15yewdx.jpg Some people are great flunktectives, you aren't. <---Looks damn credible. The Final Flunk is upon us. <br />
Didn't Larry clear his whole schedule for flunk day last year??? This could be important... anyone have a meeting cancelled with him later in the day??<br />
<br />
12:20pm Grab n Go staff worker says we'll be anticipating Flunk Day for a couple of weeks yet. Trying to throw us off the scent?<--Who, Marla? She's totally flunking with you.<-- No I heard that Helmut hinted to her that it won't be in April. But he could be lying. <br />
<br />
Tuesday (this day) is the Bradley Girl Talk trip. Buses have been reserved. Students have paid for tix. doesn't bode well for flunkage.<---Could be a hoax to throw people off. Not much advertising for this event. The buses could be used for friars... <-- does flunk day have an official end time? If students are not supposed to leave for girl talk until after dinner, they could just have a really long day. <-- Flunk Day is from 6:30am to 11:00pm. Technically. <-- I have staunchly believed that this Girl Talk excursion has been fake since the day we received that email. Yes, students paid for tickets...but that money can easily be refunded. They only sold tickets for two days, from 5:30-7:30. Usually when Union Board tables they at least try to do some lunch hours. The whole thing seems sketchy as flunk...and since it's a Union Board activity, they can EASILY cancel it. And I'm pretty sure that people wouldn't be upset about missing out on this in order to celebrate Flunk Day. < -- It is also really weird that the trip is not on Union Board's facebook events page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Knox-College-Union-Board/233752620674?sk=events <br />
**It is a known fact that Jil Gates is friends with the Bradley director-- The concert is a cover up as the receptionist for Bradley had no idea that Knox was coming to the concert!!! --- PROOF?? This could be huge. <-- Tickets to the Girl Talk concert are sold to the public through Ticketmaster, so of course the receptionist had no idea what you were talking about. <-- If they were sold through Ticketmaster, it is possible that they were never purchased at all. <br />
<br />
74 Degrees and party cloudy. Sounds like some good flunking weather.<br />
<br />
Regina sent out the work schedule for Flunk Day. Proof that it could be reallllllly soon! <-- THIS COULD BE HUGE!!<br />
<br />
Received a text from a friend and Flunk observer in DeKalb at NIU: "I just saw a truck pulling some carnival equipment and I think it is going to Galesburg for The Final Flunk. Nevermind if it was going the wrong way, it's probably to confuse everyone." THIS COULD BE HUGE. <-- Ha.<br />
<br />
4:53pm: Saw Jil Gates walking from downtown area. Dressed in Grey and Black- looked sketchy... must have been on a FLUNK DAY mission... what else brings her out of her office before 6pm! Last minute errands for FLUNK DAY!!!!<br />
<br />
Lance Factor cancelled wednesday's Environmental Ethics course because he knows we'll all be too hungover to come to class.<br />
Monica Berlin also cancelled her evening class tomorrow for a mysterious play that her son is in at school that she knew nothing about, except that the theme is "Individuality." Strange how so many professors are cancelling classes...<-- also Monica never cancels class...and what kind of parent doesn't know anything about their son's play? And wouldn't she have known for a while and could have told her class earlier in the term? <---what kind of play is on a Tuesday night? <---Gabe Raley emailed ANSO 103 to lighten the work load...MORE TIME 2 FLUNK.<br />
<br />
Sketchy things observed by seniors during the scare this morning: <br/> (Also, These are true. These things happened. I would not shit you. But whether or not they predict Flunk Day as tomorrow remains to be seen.) <br/><br />
1. Craig Southern was in his office at 5:50am...not quite normal, right? Regardless of if lottery numbers are stressing him out, why would he show up to work two hours early? Answer: getting extra work done because he knows that Tuesday is Flunk Day. <br/> <br />
2. As we ran by the first-year side of Post and continued back towards Hamblin/Exec, a custodial worker yelled at us "You guys have the wrong day! It's tomorrow!" <br/><br />
3. Jack Moore was absent, yet he participated in the previous Epic Scare. According to several sources, he got 12 hours of sleep last night, from 10pm to 10am. Why? Preparation for Flunk of course! <-----------Or, he does this every night, because he is a huge blower lame. <----nah, he's just HUGE. <br />

HAM! for flunk day! <---- and SNACKS!! <-- ???<br />
<br />
11:16 PM C'mon people, is no one else here? Let's not get disheartened. Anything seem suspicious? ANYWHERE? <--- The fact that there is nothing suspicious is suspicious! < -- Suspected calm before the storm.<br />
<br />
Did anyone think that maybe all the action last night was a distraction? that all the pre-FLUNK action was done last night in an attempt to throw us off. and tonight the inactivity is to make us unaware of FLUNK DAY tomorrow. they want us to be discouraged by getting our hopes high for April 23 when the actual FLUNK is April 24.. <-- THIS COULD BE HUGE!<br />
<br />
Campus Safety sent TKS the Campus Safety Log today instead of Tuesday. Katy Sutcliffe has written it for three years and says that has NEVER ONCE HAPPENED. Flunk Day must be tomorrow so they had to write it today!<br />
<br />

Debbie Southern cancelled an important weekly meeting because the 25th is Secretary's Day... A lame cover-up if you ask me.<br />
<br />
Today is Flunk Day. Yep.<br />
<br />
The suspected musical guest is Gym Class Heroes. On their tour they are in Macomb on the 23rd and then in NY on the 28th. Why the break? FLUNK DAY OF COURSE. <--- Bands take breaks on tour for any variety of reasons. There are also gaps like this in their schedule for May, too. <--- We all know bands always have gaps in their tour schedules. Clearly the original poster doesn't mean they're taking a break FOR flunk day, just that there's always the option that they can be here... <-- It has been reported on the Facebook page today that Gym Class is too expensive... http://www.facebook.com/events/413379372024883/ who could it be???<br />
<br />
<br />
There are fifteen prospies coming Wednesday, so today is probably notttt the day. 5 of them are due to stay overnight also. <--- prove it. FLUUUNK DAY BETCHES! <--- Admissions has been known to make-up prospects to visit on flunk day so this is just more evidence that this IS flunk day <----Prospies can be here on flunk day. <-------- ALSO, three different people working with admissions have told me three different numbers of prospies for Wednesday. Sketchy? <---- Proof for Prospies on flunk day: I stayed overnight on Flunk Day last year.<br />
<br />
It's going to be rainy as fuck. Indoor flunks? Flunk in the rain? <--- they always set a rain date for Flunk Day, so if it's pouring out, Flunk Day will be postponed and we would be none the wiser... <--Ummm I thought the company they used was from like Florida or some coast, I'm sure once the date is chosen after a certain time, whether rain or shine they can't turn back on it. SO FLUNK THE RAIN! It will only make for a better mudpit!<---- It's not going to be "rainy as fuck." Learn how much 30-40% chance actually means. <-- It means the weatherpeople don't got their shit straight. <---Before you get angry maybe you should check the forecast again idiot<br />
<br />
Williston's janitor Gary said in passing that today's the day. Someone needs to find out what he knows!<br />
<br />
It is today if it is indeed this week. :) hi <--The campus life calendar is not trustworthy.<br />
<br />
All Day: Beta's seen being idiots, everyday. Flunk day doesnt matter when your always awesome <---CONFIRMED <-----you're* <---Bad grammar doesn't matter when they're just proving their point about being idiots. <----Exactly why I pointed it out.<br />
<br />
There are only two online assignments lined up for phys 167, when there are normally enough to cover at least a week and a half. Schulz must be preparing to cover Wednesday's material on Friday! <-- This MUST be the case. The Physics department knows all!<br />
<br />
Craig Southern sent out an email earlier today in which he said all housing applications are to be picked up Wednesday (April 25th) and filled out and returned the next day. Would he tell people to pick up housing applications on flunk day?<----Those who are going to apply for a single better be on their shit. <----why would he know/care? <-- He also just sent out an e-mail saying that the forms are due on Thursday at 4PM, but he did not say anything about Wednesday.<--- Yeah he did, "all applications will be available beginning tomorrow (Wednesday) in the Campus Life Office."<br />
<br />
Flunk Day is ruining my life. <br />
<br />
HAM! on flunk day!<br />
<br />
10:30am Helmut has dining services staff member Denise prepare the cucumber sauce for tomorrow's gyro bar this morning. Sign of no flunk?<br />
<br />
11:40am theyre mowing the lawns <-- they mowed the lawns yesterday! double mow since they won't be able to mow around the moon bounce and dance party tomorrow.<br />
<br />
Prophetic dream that flunk day was tomorrow. Also, in dream, Jil Gates was going around saying "why do you assume that flunk day has to only last for one day?" My dreams have been proven true 25% of the time. <-- THIS COULD BE HUGE!<br />
<br />
3:27 p.m. George with the really long hair who graduated last year spotted on campus! He must BE BACK FOR FLUNK DAY! Alumni always know! <-- He has been back for about a week. SNU was doing a thing. <-he came back for SNU's activation<br />

3:50 p.m. A group of ol dmen, maybe Alumni, walking towards CFA. Overheard one ask, "Well? Is it going to be Flunk Day tomorrow?" Another, looking like he had authority, said, "No. It's not." They were all dressed in suits. one carried a roller briefcase. Another was wearing a bowler hat. <-there was only one set of footprints in the sand. when asked why, Jesus responded "sand people ride single file to hide their numbers"<br />
<br />
4:10 p.m. Helmut just left campus in his red convertible. I work in the caf, so I know he usually works until 6-7ish. Getting ready for an early morning?<br />
<br />
4:09 pm Kathleen Drake sent an email to Williston about damages on Flunk Day. WHY WAIT UNTIL NOW?<br />
<br />
5:10 pm Jack Moore and Kaitlyn Duling exiting Jil Gates's apartment. Last minute flunk planning?<br />
<br />
I LOVE FLUNK DAY <-- I LOVE YOU AND FLUNK DAY <---CONFIRMED <---This not only COULD be huge, IT '''IS''' HUGE! <-- CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
The Quickie man thinks wednesday is the day!!<br />
<br />
5:19 PM: JPow cancels his fifth period microeconomics class because he's "going out of town tomorrow". Going out of town, or getting started early for THE FINAL FLUNK?! <--- NO. He's definitely not getting ready for an early flunk. Trust me. <- Jpow does not think tomorrow is flunk day.<br />
<br />
6:20pm: I went to buy gin at the Quickie and this was my conversation with the Quickie guy: <br/><br />
Quickie Guy: "Only one more day!" <br/><br />
Me: "Do you think it's tomorrow?" <br/><br />
QG: "It's ''always'' tomorrow." <br/><br />
Me: "Yeah, you're right..." <br/><br />
QG: "But no I think it's tomorrow. I just have a feeling." <br/><br />
BAM. Quickie Guy has a feeling. Start drinking. -->> ALREADY STARTED. <br />
<br />

7:01 PM around 10-11 hours from now, we shall all be flunking.<br />
<br />
7:08 PM Josh Balk texted Lexi Vernon saying that EMT class was canceled for tonight because he was "stuck on a call." Obviously, he just wants a good night's sleep before he's extra busy ambulancing people from the Final Flunk.<br />
<br />
7:12 PM Seniors are preparing Jello shots for the final flunk. <--- Don't seniors do this on a daily basis? <--- Speaking as a senior, yes. Every day. Jello shots.<br />
<br />

<br />
A student in Professor Fowler's class said that he knows tomorrow is Flunk Day because he can PREDICT THE FUTURE. <---Seems legit. <-- THE LEGITIMACY OF THIS KNOWLEDGE IS OUT OF ANYONE'S CONTROL!!!!! LEGIT FLUNK NOW AND FOREVER!!! WE WILL RISE TO SEE A NEW FUTURE OF FLUNK AND FRIVOLITY!!! FOREVER AND EVER UNTIL DOOMSDAY DO WE PART! <-----Fowler is always legit. And always very very good looking!

<br />
9:12 PM- Forgot to post this earlier. Three unmarked white vans circled campus several times this morning around second period. These were NOT the vans that are normally passing the school to carry train workers to the yard. Vendors checking out the space for tomorrow? The FBI? Javier's vans full of bongs? <--The FBI has black SUVs. Don't you watch Criminal Minds <--- they had Indiana plates. Gotta look at that shit. There was also a softball game going on.<br />
<br />
9:16 PM ERHMAGEHRD... FLERHHNK DERRRHHH<br />
<br />
9:20pm - my Danielle Fatkin class for tomorrow was cancelled 'due to illness'... COULD THAT BE COVERUP FOR FLUNK? ---> No, professors don't know when it is Flunk-->And anyway if they did know, there would be no reason to cancel class. Logic, people. Use it. <-- I know that. It's called hype. Stop spoilers. <--- CONFIRMED. DANIELLE FATKIN IS THE FLUNK DAY QUEEN! <---- Whoever confirmed this is an idiot!!! <---- CONFIRMED <--- DOUBLE CONFIRMED <---You're an idiot. I'LL BE FLUNKING LONG BEFORE YOU EVEN KNOW WHO YOU ARE. <--- Dude, she always cancels class.<br />
<br />
The Senate Exec debates are tomorrow, would they really cancel that for Flunk Day?.....I think yes! =D <--- Depending on when they sent it in, it won't matter <--- very unclear response!

<br />
My friend said she's planning to finger herself tomorrow, would she really plan to masturbate if tomorrow was FLUNK DAY???? <-- Who wouldn't masturbate on Flunk Day. <--- Everyone who gets laid.<br />

<br />
The baseball coaches were having a private meeting after the games today and a player overheard them saying it was flunk day tomorrow.<-- Wait, would they know? <--- BASEBALL COACHES KNOW ALL! START DRINKING!!!<br />

Someone said that a fire marshal said it was flunk day on wednesday. <--- I overheard my sister talking to a friend who heard her uncle tell his brother-in-law that Jesus talked to Ghandi about Flunk Day 2012, Ghandi told Jesus that it was on May 25th. <--- emergency services are told nothing of impending Flunkitude. I've tried getting info from the paramedics I do ride-alongs with, but they had none to give, and were not happy about it.<br />
<br />

<br />
10:15 The Quickie man told me that at this time, (I had arrived 15 minutes later) a large group of "Outsiders" had come into the quickie, along with a lot of vehicle traffic during the day. This could be huge.<br />

<br />
11:04pm - just got pulled over by the cops. apparently failed to signal?! As the cop comes back with the ticket : "Why all the liquor in the back. Are a Knox kid?" Me: "Yes" Cop: "Oh, I didn't know they were telling you guys when flunk day is" Me: "They don't! But everyone thinks it is tomorrow!" Cop: "Ha ha ha, guess they are right. They told us in our shift meeting to expect drunk students in the morning hours" ....Since this i love the cops (at least until they bust us the next time.) <---- Can you confirm? I just texted someone on GPD who heard nothing about this....doubtful!<br />
<br />

FLUNK DAY BREAK?!?!?! <---If we really cant afford Gym Class, this is not even remotely close to possible, that being said, it would be awesome <---coming from arguably THE biggest blink fan on campus, there is no way its them. They're in rehearsal for a short european stint and Bamboozle. I follow all members on twitter and they're all rehearsing in Los Angeles california as of today. that said, I would go into a coma if they played here.<br />
<br />
Guys, clearly they got Swedish rock band Europe to play for us. Final Flunk needs Final Countdown.<br />
<br />

<br />
12:01am-There are A LOT of vehicles in the Holiday Inn Express Parking lot for a Tuesday night in Galesburg. Including a truck carrying a large pulley system. Flunk Day Equipment. Yes. <---- Can anyone confirm? Pics? <---I can confirm. Was also at the Comfort Inn?, or another galesburg hotel (checked many), there earlier, three trailers attached to trucks and vans. In the back of one of the trucks was what i believe was a large air compressor, perfect for inflatables<br />
<br />
12:03 a.m. Helm's Deep has fallen, and it did it with weird subtitles. FLUNK DAY IS TOMORROW.<------False Helm's Deep never falls. Unless you see trees moving around campus, not sure what this has to do with Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
12:11 a.m. - The math problems to edit the wikifire are getting harder. Trying to inhibit communication? FLUNK. --> It's because we're all already drunk --> CONFRIRMED<br />
<br />
STOP TALKING ABOUT THE MUDPIT. CAMPUS SAFETY CAN USE THE INTERNET TOO.<br />
<br />
12:21 Saw the Knox Fox partying with the Betas. It's so Flunk Day.<br />
12:24 Tom Axtell is acting like Robert De Niro. DEFINITELY Flunk Day. <----CONFIRMED! THIS COULD BE HUGE.<br />

<br />
12:43 a.m. Lights on in the mail room, but not behind the boxes. Nothing covering the windows. <---- Try at like 4 or 5 AM. That's when they actually stuff mailboxes. <--- not true, Neil told me he had to spend the night in the mailroom once because if he left at 2AM, students would know it was flunk day.<br />
<br />
I'm flunking tomorrow, I guess today, regardless of whether it is flunk day or not. Just saying.<br />
<br />
12:47 a.m.: Jill Gates seen entering Campus Life Office! Why else would she do so unless tomorrow is El Dia de Flunk?? <--- To throw us off maybe. But this COULD be HUGE!!! Any confirmations? <---- i'm sure this is true, but i'm sure they just got back from the girl talk concert.<br />
<br />
1:02 am: Another text: "We nearly definitively found flunk day. Lots of trucks and vans with equipment and out of state license plates at holiday inn express. Have pics" (awaiting pics)<--It's been a half an hour. <br />

<br />
Miss Congeniality got it right. <br />
Stan Fields: Miss Rhode Island, please describe your idea of a perfect date. <br />
Cheryl "Rhode Island": That's a tough one. I'd have to say April 25th. Because it's not too hot, not too cold, all you need is a light jacket.<br />
<br />
1:18 am: I haven't had sex since November 22, tomorrow please be flunk day so I can get laid by some drunk girl! <-- and the award for sleaziest comment on the Wiki Fire goes to... <--- To the loser who can't get laid: I pity you. <--- November 22 is my birthday!!! But yeah this post... < As a girl who's not yet had her first kiss, let alone get laid, you, sir, are pathetic. <-- What happened to consent v. rape?? <--- The fact that I need to get girls drunk to get laid isn't pathetic, it's called game #winning <--- Actually it's called being a dick. Congratulations on being a man-slut. <-- CONFIRMED! <-- Hey, original poster. If you get girls drunk to have sex with them, you are a rapist. The girls cannot give consent when they are inebriated, and you are taking advantage of that. <br />
<br />
1:27 Helmut spotted walking down Cherry Street with Roger Taylor and Jesus. THIS COULD BE HUGE! <---False, they were just on their way to Cherry Street Restaurant to break up a barfight between Doctor Doom and a gang of velociraptors. NOT a Flunk Day sign.<br />
<br />
<br />
1:19am lights in the mail room are on, nothing in mailboxes as of yet kitchen lights are on but no movement. Suspicious grey sedan pulled up next to seymour. 4 people got out and went to the mail room, 3 minutes late 2 people get back in the car and leave. Something smell flunky?<br />

<br />
2:12 am Suspicious white vehicle parked with lights on outside Seymour loading dock. Engine on, looks to be a four door car. <--------------------------HUGE,<br />
<br />
2:16 am Two female passengers in black, one carrying a bag, exit white vehicle and get into another car parked on the sidewalk. White car pulls away <------------------THIS COULD BE.<br />
<br />
No updates?!? C'mon guys!<br />
<br />
3:08 am Can't get a hold of a lot of seniors ... are they conspiring? Sleeping to prep for flunk day awesomeness?<br />
<br />
3:32 am The campus is eerily quiet.<br />
<br />
3:45 am - Asked a security guard if it was Flunk day and he said, "Between you and me, nope. Not today." Could be messing with me but I don't think its Flunk Day. Poop.<br />
<br />
4:10 am - New Video Found on Youtube! Official Flunk Day Song 2012! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpOwiz_Uj18&context=C42f3887ADvjVQa1PpcFMW2EZLo604zdtchMfNdtl7KxfKHWXvudw= <------------ CONFIRMED <------ this could be HUGE!!!!!! <------- ITS TODAY FOR SURE!<br />
<br />
4:50 am - Caf is open super early... interesting.<br />

<br />
5:50 AM weak scare followed by a flunk fail. it's going to be a long day...<---confirmed.<br />
<br />
<br />
Jil Gates, you should probably expect an angry mob of drunk seniors after senior meeting outside your apartment tonight. <-- And everyone else. <-- oh c'mon you guys!! like they knew everyone would put all their hope into today being flunk day. they planned it months ago. it is no one's fault. just part of the hype. part of the flunk. this is what we have been waiting for ALL YEAR. so deal. quite your whinning please and spanks you. <-- normal hype is fine, but this year the hype became too intense too quickly for the actual day to be this late. instead of being excited and anticipating the day, people are just angry and disappointed when it isn't.<br />
<br />
It looks like this Flunk Day<br />
*Puts on sunglasses*<br />
Failed the test<br />
<br />
Even Gilbert thought it should have been today. This year is insane.<br />
<br />
11:52 am Why the fuck is it not Flunk Day?? #anticlimactic #tiredasfuck<br />
<br />
== <br />
'''APRIL 25: THE NIGHT BEFORE FLUNK DAY''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
‘Twas the night before Flunk Day, when all throughout Knox<br />
Not a creature was sleeping, not even the Fox.<br />
The Wiki and Facebook both opened with care,<br />
In the hopes that Flunk Day news would soon be there.<br />
<br />
The friars were nestled all snug in their beds,<br />
While visions of mud pits danced in their heads.<br />
And Roommate with booze, and I with my stash,<br />
Were all buckled in for the crazy ol’ bash.<br />
<br />
When out in the Quads there arose such a clatter,<br />
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.<br />
Away to the window I flew in a flash,<br />
Where someone there shouted, “Get off of your ass!”<br />
<br />
The sun on the top of newly-made mud<br />
Gave excitement and awe to first years and their buds.<br />
When, what to my wandering eyes should appear,<br />
But a big group of seniors, with a whole lot of cheer!<br />
<br />
With a check of my inbox, to see what they say,<br />
I knew in a moment it must be Flunk Day!<br />
More rapid than eagles, the friars they came,<br />
They whistled and shouted, and called out by name:<br />
<br />
“Now Conger! Now Neal! Now Elder and Four Name!<br />
Oh, Post! On, Furrow! Sherwin, don’t dare be lame!<br />
To the pit filled with mud! To the lawn of Old Main!<br />
Now drink away! Drink away! Let’s all go insane!!!”<br />
<br />
So much effort given there that it has to be Flunk Day<br />
<br />
Since we're going with poetry...<br />
<br />
'''Stopping By Campus on a Flunkin' Evening'''<br />
<br />
Which campus flunks, I think I know.<br />
The clues might be in Galesburg though;<br />
we'd miss the signs, at any rate,<br />
if only Knox is where we go.<br />
<br />
My roommate thinks it really great<br />
to stop his work and stay up late.<br />
Between the drinks I wonder why<br />
the darkened campus lies in wait.<br />
<br />
I give my email one more try<br />
to see if there is some reply.<br />
The only other message stunk:<br />
"It might be Friday." What a lie.<br />
<br />
All Knox is ready, pumped and drunk.<br />
But we have rumors to debunk,<br />
and hours to go before we flunk,<br />
and hours to go before we flunk.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== April 26th #nope ==<br />
<br />
Are the softball games real? I don't see them on Robert Morris's schedule... http://www.robertmorris.edu/athletics/womenssoftball/schedule/<br />
<br />
The previous link is to the schedule for Robert Morris's Chicago campus' team...This is to the Springfield campus confirming the softball games...http://www.robertmorris.edu/athletics/womenssoftball/springfield/schedule/<br />
<br />
Creepily overheard Kaitlyn making an appointment with Helmut for Thursday whilst in line at the Oak Room. Unless this is a red herring, could it mean Flunk Day won't be this day? <--- isn't she the senate dinning chair?<br />
<br />
I liked "The Night Before Flunk Day" so much that I saved it just in case it got taken off the Wikifire. Whoever wrote it rocks.<br />
<br />
Math homework due date moved from Thursday to Friday. Obviously this is not, as our professor claims, so that he has time to teach us the Laplace Transform, but rather because it is Flunk Day tomorrow.<br />
<br />
12:22 pm Flunk day will not be today, we got pre-enrollment continuing, a home softball double header, the English department award thing, and Bruce Polay is at the Orpheum tonight. Looks like it will be Friday!<--the next English awards aren't announced until May 7th, the Howard Wilson things is just a call for submissions. If an event is at the Orpheum, flunk wouldn't mess it up! <--- Confirmed! Flunk waits for no human!<--Bruce & Friends is on Friday...and he told us today in class that we'd have to go whether it's Flunk Day or not. <--- regardless, this will still not be flunk day, senior day for the softball team I'm pretty sure and I would sure hope that they wouldn't do that to the Seniors. <- no offense but I doubt senior softball day has any bearing on whether or not it's flunk day (I don't think it is though) <- confirmed <--- Ok, if they do that to the softball players I am personally going to rebel and not drink on flunk day, that's right. If you're not at an athlete you have no clue what it means to play one of your last home games. I'm not sure if the AD (Chad Eisele) has any say at all, but I'm sure he would do whatever he could to make it so that a team would not have to play their Senior day games on Flunk day. It is disrespectful to the Seniors, the team as a whole, the coaches, the manager(s) and the athletic trainers and staff. <--- no offense or anything but we are a D-3 school. I doubt they plan flunk day around a game that is maybe planned 6 month in advance, maybe. <---they would. '''flunk day dates were picked in february. that softball game was scheduled at the beginning of the year (September).''" that game is important to the seniors bro. it is their last home game EVER. <br />
<br />
Has the food shipment really come in? I don't think anyone real knows or can someone prove it has?<br />
<br />
1:35 pm Professor Du cancels Friday class. She claims she is taking her other class on a field trip to Chicago, but clearly she just doesn't want to deal with students who have post-Flunk Day hangovers. <---CONFIRMED! Though I'm in that class going to Chicago...in fact I'm driving... <-- She's my advisor and actually is going on that field trip<br />
<br />
No Flunk day yet = cruel and unusual punishment <--- Flunk day occurs more often in May than it does in April<br />
<br />
5:59 PM not going to happen. just calling it now.<br />
<br />
6:10 PM Interviewing Helmut for a newspaper article at 2PM tomorrow. Pretty sure he wouldn't have scheduled that if it were Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
10:56 PM Just heard the ghost of Abraham Lincoln proclaim in the hallways of lower post that today will be flunk day! <-- CONFIRMED! Ghost Lincoln has proclaimed it!<br />
<br />
Hey flunk planners: http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0yi0vxTQ01qkgyzto1_500.png <br />
<br />
For the record: -- from students that work closely with president Amott's office -- Teresa has never said she hates Flunk Day. We don't know where that rumor comes from, but it's BS. Of course it stresses her out, her first Flunk, but that's all. Furthermore she has little to do with when Flunk Day is and will not demand it to be after her installation. She has expressed at a faculty meeting (with many student witnesses) that she is not particularly fond of all the fuss around her installation. So that should not be used as an argument. However, the events planned for after her installation are much more an indication of Flunk Day not happening that week... That being said... FLUNK ON COWBOYS! <-YEE-HAW <-CONFIRMED-HAW <-does this leave hope for the 26th??!? <--- I think more so for the 27th, the 30th or the 1st <--- While Amott may be okay with it happening whenever, there is NO way administration will allow that. They know what to expect from Flunk Day... I say it is happening the 26th, 27th, or not until after her installation. < Amott is head of the administration... So yeah I don't think it'll be too shortly before, but she won't care if she is installed yet or not<br />
<br />
Lights are on in the mail room and the doors are closed. <--- Was anyone inside? Did you see movement? <---No. It's too early for them to be stuffing the boxes. Made that mistake two years ago<br />
<br />
Jack Moore is at senior meeting. Getting primed for tomorrow?<br />
<br />
Spain study abroad students had their Flunk Day TODAY!! Will ours be tomorrow?<br />

Caf ladies seen in the caf. What could they be doing at 12:02AM? It must be the final flunk. <---I WANT PROOF. PICS OR DIDN'T HAPPEN <---Smells like a lie <---Smells like flunk spirit <--- Or they ran out of something in the gizmo and needed to go to the caf fridges/freezers to get it. <br />
<br />
So everybody is giving up? Come on!!! It could be the day! Campus safety is driving around more than usual- I've seen them 3 times since I left my dorm an hour ago. They see me rollin', they hatin'...tryna catch me flunkin dirty.<br />
<br />
1:18 am- people heard running around near williston/ fiji yelling FLUNNNKKKK DAAYYYYY<br />
<br />
1:28am: Heard rumors that Flunk Day's not going to be until May. =\<br />
<br />
5:49 am: All quiet. Time to finish studying for that exam. . .<br />
<br />
== April 27th ==<br />
If FlunkFood was delivered Monday, April 16th, this would be the last day to serve fresh food. <--- since when does the caf serve us fresh food? <--- Helmut does a very good job with the resources that he has<br />
<br />
Last year Lincoln Fest was Friday and Saturday. This year it's only Saturday. Why did they not plan for another two-day event? the did!! A Friday Flunk Day with a super awesome musical group is kicking off the weekend festivities!<br />
<br />
I know Flunk Day is never on a Friday.. but we have had two emails from Jill about it being on a Friday..<--obviously she is trolling. <--- How do you know? Xavier used to do the same thing.<br />
---False! Tony Gant retold tales of the single Friday Flunk he's experienced. Apparently students looked just as awful on Monday as the usual post-flunk day. But it HAS happened. <-- Please, God, no... Let it not be on this Friday. Not this one.<----Oh god yes let it be friday! <br />
<br />
this is my guess. I doubt they'd do Monday or Tuesday (even if they have "enough days" to clean up before Teresa's thing)... if not it will be like the last week of term. gross.<br />
<br />
It is called 'The Final Flunk' for a reason right?... Final chance to make it a Friday, Final as in right before final exams, just final... <--- THE PERFECT PLAN. Make it on a Friday, prove that we will all just get fucked up all weekend, cancel flunk forever when the school is destroyed. THIS COULD BE HUGE(LY DISAPPOINTING). <-- CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
I just made an appointment with Jil for tomorrow afternoon. I don't think it will be tomorrow, guys. <--- Insignificant meetings can be rescheduled. <-- I told her I could meet this afternoon, Friday, or next Monday. She chose Friday. I really don't think she would choose to schedule a meeting then if she would just need to reschedule it later. <-- She schedule an appointment with me last year on Flunk day... don't put too much weight into the meeting.<br />
<br />
The Pool is closed tonight and tomorrow, why? FLUNK DAY<br />
<br />
Regina was spotted this afternoon with a few others loading large suspicious covered boxes into seymour. Tomorrow will be flunk day. <----The quickie also received a shipment of alcohol today this could be it. <-- The Quckie will receive alcohol shipments as long as there are Knox students to drink it, read: always, plus right now all the seniors are unemployed and depressed and drinking even more than usual. <---That may be true but that in conjunction with other flunkish goings ons could point to flunk day.<br />
<br />
5:27 PM flunk day e-mails have me confused... to flunk or not to flunk?!?? <- always flunk <- flunk fridays <- everyone flunks on friday <- so FLUNK FRIDAY?!?!?!?? <-- People would die.<br />
<br />
5:51 PM there are installation events EVERY DAY next week, so if it's going to be within the next week AT ALL, this would be the day <--- The installation events don't start until May 3. Do your research.<br />
<br />
6:07 PM There are a bunch of trucks at that hotel again, they're all white... sign??<br />
<br />
6:51 I babysit for my professor and they canceled babysitting for tomorrow. perhaps the kiddos are sick with flunk fever???!<br />
<br />
7:55 PM had to ask the caf ladies a question, walked into the kitchen and surprised them I guess, was immediately hurried out of one area because I wasn't supposed to see some things they were doing... flunk food?!?? <----Confirmed, ive tasted some of our food, I dont want to know what they do to some of it<br />
<br />
8:30 PM WHITE TRUCK SEEN DRIVING PAST GDH <-CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
8:43 PM I stopped giving a fuck. <-which is what the planners want, if you stop caring it's more of a surprise <---but it wouldn't be flunk day without the thrill of the hunt and the anticipation. Flunk day has to be a day where its not too expected so its a surprise but only after lots of good scares and midnight trips to the mailroom. <----Hahahahaha, you say this like Flunk Day has rules.<br />
<br />
8:49 PM caf ladies still guarding the kitchen.<br />
<br />
9:19 PM not enough people think flunk day's tomorrow to man the wikifire. sadness.<br />
<br />
9:35 PM [http://images.wikia.com/spongebobandfriendsadventures/images/7/76/Darth_Vader.jpg I find your lack of faith disturbing] <- liz? <- maybe. <- CONFIRMED <- woodyard? <- yup. <- geeky reference, that should have been obvious <- confirmed. <br />
<br />
9:40 Ed professors saying that tomorrow is flunk day.<br />
<br />
9:42 Jil Gates seen moving white boxes in her office!....or is she just flunking with us? <-- you guys gotta follow these things up with pics. <--- She would have seen me. Trust me I'm in Founders I seen her! <- I don't trust anyone with poor grammar <- CONFIRMED <br />
<br />
10:01 PM Like-A-Little is down; must be Flunk Day. <- thank god (if there was one)<--Psyche! LAL is up and running. Let the passive-aggressive flirting and bitching resume. <br />
<br />
10:21 PM all 3 of my professors think flunk day is tomorrow.<br />
<br />
10:23 PM mailroom windows are covered BEETCHEZZZ <- they weren't covered earlier, just asked a friend who works there. <--I WANT PICTURES PLEASE <- seconded. <--just walk there and see for yourself. <-- Confirmed, I live in Seymour I just checked. <- [http://cdn.homebrewtalk.com/attachments/f19/55487d1333502071-do-you-think-star-san-can-cure-jock-itch-untitled-280x280-.jpg not sure if trolling] but too lazy to go check for myself. pics please? <-- Fine, for the sake of you other Flunk Day enthusiasts I will abandon my studies and take a photo. BRB. [https://mail.knox.edu/service/home/~/?auth=co&id=3178&part=1] <- ERROR 404. if trolling, nicely done. if an actual error, I applaud you for trying, and thank you kind sir. <-- or lady. http://thewikifire.org/images/b/b8/Photo_on_2012-04-26_at_22.50.jpg <-- Mailroom windows covered proof<br />
<br />
10:25 PM quickie guy thinks flunk day is tomorrow, he's stocking the shelves at the moment<br />
<br />
10:38 PM once upon a time there was this paper due... and then it was flunk day. the student lived happily ever after...<br />
<br />
10:41 PM if it's not flunk day tomorrow, I'm blasting Nicki Minaj at 5 am from my surround sound in protest. sorry Hamblin. cue "you a stupid hoe..." (stupid of course referencing the universe for the the lack of flunk day) <- DO IT <- oh geez. <- LIZ. NO. <- no liz. <- [http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/hprofile-ak-snc4/50552_373059924590_3412244_n.jpg BUT MOOOOOOM] <-this would actually be entertaining, but only if a scare wakes me up first. <- deal. <-- Oh, God.<br />
<br />
10:58 PM jil gates seen walking around campus, why u no sleep jil?!?? <---Little known fact: instead of sleeping, Jill Gates gets all her energy from slaying vampires. <- those aren't vampires those are hipster kids<br />
<br />
no updates on the Flunk Day's twitter page...something smells flunky..<br />
<br />
11:03 PM my pet party rock thinks it's flunk day. <-- THIS COULD BE HUGE<br />
<br />
THERE'S AN EQUESTRIAN CLUB MEETING TOMORROW, NOT FLUNK DAY <- not important enough to matter, sorry bro<----SHIT NOT THE HORSES, CONFIRMED <-- HORSES TRUMP ALL. Know this. <- [http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/292/160/7e2.gif Horses are all that matters] <----CONFIRMED BROHOOF<br />
<br />
11:07 PM There's too many administrators on campus this late and too much campus safety activity for a normal quiet thursday night... something feels flunky<br />
<br />
11:11 PM GUYS what if Human vs. Zombies (which is tomorrow) a flunk day rouse!!! emails hint at friday flunk day and zombie lincoln. and it was canceled last friday...hmm a rainy day if we all recall. but tomorrow's not! FLUNK DAY"S TOMORROW. <-- I've been thinking the same thing, but it seems too good to be true <--- Jil's e-mails also mentioned seven headless zombies/horsemen and zombie DNA in the mudpit <- [http://www.alicia-logic.com/capsimages/xm_008_IanMcKellen.jpg magneto's hat tip to this post, flunk day's tomorrow] <br />
<br />
JIL SEEN CARRYING THE FRIAR TSHIRTS IN BOXES <---------- PICS OR IT DIDNT HAPPEN BITCH. <---how do you know why was in the boxes<br />
<br />
http://thewikifire.org/images/b/b8/Photo_on_2012-04-26_at_22.50.jpg <-- Mailroom windows covered confirmed/proof. Deleted once after linking...<br />
<br />
Flunk tomorrow? Then they'd only have one big cleanup to deal with after Lincoln Fest! <---shhhhh let us have this happy <----- .......what even? <- flunk day tomorrow would make it EASIER since they'd only have to clean up ONCE. flunk day tomorrow: 1 <------ I think that's what this person originally meant<br />
<br />
11:34 PM 2 SEMIS JUST DROVE BY OLD MAIN/GDH, big unmarked white ones!!!!<br />
<br />
Jil Gates Told us it was tomorrow all along. Beyond hinting it could be a Friday. Let's go Da Vinci Code on this. April 17th Flunk Day email quote: "SEVEN headless horsemen (or Zombies) run by your suite window." April 25th quote: "The final flunk will last SEVEN years before the peace and quiet returns." & "the SEVEN impossibly fun plagues of the Final Flunk." Okay first off didn't Egypt have 10 plagues in the old testament? Why did Jil Gates choose SEVEN then? And several times? Maybe because 7 is on her mind? Because of the 27th???? Maybe she was trying to give us a hint. BOMBSHELL.<br />
<br />
Of course the only other number was a 5 so she could have also been trying to hint 5/7, May 7th <--- Or she might be hinting at week 7, next week <---- May 7th is installation week when all the alums and trustees will be here. there are events every night to show off the school and student's achievements, it has to be before that week.<br />
<br />
ZOMBIE HAM! <--- ALLUDED TO!<br />
<br />
11:45 PM- Girls screaming in Hamblin. <---Same shit as always.<br />
<br />
12:00 am I'm tired of hearing about all the suspicious trucks, obviously it means nothing if they are seen every night (especially if you aren't even going to post pics) I"m not trying to be a debbie downer on the Flunk spirit, I personally love all the anticipation and chit-chat, but let's just calm down on the trucks a little bit <--- also, semi trucks do not make a difference. The Flunk equipment will not be in a fucking semi truck. <-- THIS<br />
<br />
It's Friday, Friday, Gotta get down on Friday... <- [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ti1D9t8n0qA flunk friday] <-- Even better/worse than Friday, Hot Girls We've Got Problems Too, We're Just Like You, Except We're Hot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__HeE6NWmDE<br />
<br />
Woo, another scare! <-- there's not going to be another scare. 80% of why we seniors did the scares was because a part of us WISHED it was the Real Deal. We're just as disappointed as undersclassmen that it hasn't happened yet. <----THANK YOU FOR ADMITTING THIS RATHER THAN SAYING WE'RE JUST WHINING. <-- You're welcome. Also, if there had been no scares, waking up on the actual day would be much less anticlimactic. Trust me. <--- Also, stop whining. For real. We all had to go through it and it's a tradition and someday you will enjoy it. <----It isn't every year that there's a huge event like installation to deal with planning around though, so it makes everything more confusing and frustrating this year.<br />
<br />
12:32 - What is this a flunk day group therapy session? <---THIS COULD BE HUGE < "Hi! My name is Abraham Lincoln, and I thought Flunk Day was today..." <--- "Hi Abraham!"<br />
<br />
Tomorrow would be TOO COLD for Flunk Day. We're all gonna day. Final Flunk, bitches. <- [http://pichars.org/store/1416_original_CKBN5. oh no! whatever shall we do?!?] <- CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
12:45 AM FLUNK FLUNK? who's there? ACTIVITY IN THE MAIL ROOM! <--- Pics or video or it didn't happen. ;.; <- if i was a normal rich hipster kid I'd have loved to have done so, as it is, my track phone was unable to do so, so you'll just have to trust me or go take a video for me <--- Yeah, security was just taking down the newspaper on the mailroom windows.<br />
<br />
12:56 AM just finished piecing together my flunk day ensemble, soo ready for the next few hours. also, jil gates was just walking back to her place, a bit late, huh? FLUNK DAY!!<br />
<br />
No seniors reported missing yet... <br />
<br />
1:08 AM student 0 was infected. from here the zombie virus will only spread (no it's not an STD, it's airborne, beware) <- my roommate must be patient 0, she's really sick<br />
<br />
1:16 AM activity on the loading dock, flunk preparations?!? <-- Be more specific. <- maintenance-looking guys (maybe caf worker dudes, whatever) were loading boxes of stuff in from a white truck...? <-- pics or it didn't happen <-- HONOR CODE, BITCHES, YOU HAVE TO TRUST US <-- Okay but...I'll admit it: when there were scares planned, we seniors would purposely create hype on the Wikifire. Now that none of us are playing around anymore, it would take a pretty sick person to post stuff that isn't true. I think we should stop demanding pics for every little thing. <- They took down the covers in the mail room <- i mean, who WOULDN'T just believe everything they read on the internet?!? seriously... <-- I can see the loading dock from my room, there's nothing there. <- this was posted at 1:16, I doubt there still would be people there <-- one senior does not speak for the rest of us! WE WILL SCARE UNTIL THE END. <-what this guy said, but also what another post said- upperclassmen are JUST as upset when it ISN'T flunk day as the freshmen are, if not more so since we've been through this before. who said only underclassmen can honestly post on the wikifire?!? obviously every post by an upperclassmen is a troll.<br />
<br />
1:45 AM- Police by Borzello<br />
<br />
1:50 AM- Hushed flunk-sounding conversation overheard among seniors, they immediately departed. WHERE ARE THE SENIORS PEOPLE!? <--- Planning a scare of course. Those flunkers.<br />
<br />
1:52 AM flunk or death, in honor of Chris Overton.<br />
<br />
2:02 AM I got a fever, and the only cure is [http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20060929191502/snl/images/6/66/More_cowbell.gif flunk day] <- HAHAHAHAHA just woke up my roommate laughing, thanks for that :-)<br />
<br />
2:37 PM White Loading Truck with the word VOICES just drove past tompkins.<br />
<br />
Nope. Fun waiting with you folks though. See you after installation to flunk it up! <----Why does no one understand it can't be after the installation? The week of May 7th is installation week filled with events to show off our school to alumni and trustees. They can't have it then and they can't have it after that week because Flunk Season is over by Week 9 and 10.<br />
<br />
You taste these tears. [http://oi49.tinypic.com/34ozou0.jpg Taste my sad, Union Board]<br />

== April 30th PREPARE TO FLUNK==<br />
HAS TO BE FLUNK DAY. <br />
<br />
TWO FLUNK DAY PLANNERS SEEN IN THE RODGE LODGE WITH LARGE COLORED PAPER SHEETS. THEY LOCKED THE DOOR TO THE ROOM IN THE BACK. THIS IS HUGE! <-- Time? Can anyone confirm? <--- CONFIRMED Jack and Kaitlyn walked out of the craft room at 9pm with posters (I was there) <br />
<br />
Baseball game canceled, jazz performance canceled, Teresa Amott's Midwestern mud-bath: CONFIRMED.<br />
<br />
If flunk day is this week it would be Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. There's a home baseball game on Monday (today) so that makes it unlikely (it is confirmed on Eureka's schedule) Tuesday looks pretty promising with not very many events on the calendar, and Wednesday there are more home baseball games so, again, unlikely (yes I'm aware coaches don't know when flunk day is and that the schedule is made before flunk day is planned, but the planners know what the athletic schedules are and stay away from having flunk day on the day of a home sporting event, it would likely be a very poor situation for both teams and their coaches) In other words, if Flunk Day is not on Tuesday, it looks like we will have to wait another week. <---GAMES WERE CANCELLED<br />
<br />
Vince Rug, senior, has made this his new prediction.<br />
<br />
Vince Rug, senior, does not know anything. <---There is a high probability that he is a secret planner. Also, he is in charge of the twitter page. <-- Second part is absolutely false, sorry 'bout it. <- [https://forums.playfire.com/_proxy/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fi595.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Ftt40%2Fofx360%2F47721c5a_79dd_3aa60.jpg&hmac=b769522379bed205992eef225bd75fad seriously?!?]<br />
<br />
Red Room interviews are on the 30th. I mean, the CTL probably doesn't know when Flunk Day is, but it seems like a somewhat serious event.<---FALSE not a serious event at all, and no way was it scheduled early enough to get on the list. They'd just reschedule. <---Not serious? Don't mess with Red Room. They can send the dancing Red Room box after you. <----Laura Bush said that last year Red Room interviews had to be rescheduled because of Flunk Day. Obviously that means today IS Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
Even though there are baseball games, the Eureka head coach is a Knox alum (he graduated in 09?) and he loovveeesss flunk day. He could totally be in on it.<---Confirmed Clarkey is pretty cool.<-----CONFIRMED Game against Eureka on Monday cancelled.<--CANCELED GAME THIS IS HUGE!<br />
<br />
The main stage dance show has 4.5 hours worth of tech rehearsal this day and it cannot be cancelled. Better not be Flunk Day. <--- Flunk Day does not conform to the needs of mortals.. <--- Flunk Day 2009 was held during the main stage dress rehearsal. It was difficult for the dancers, but they trudged through.<br />
<br />
Flunk Day why you gotta play hard to get? Two can play that game. Bring. It. On. http://i.imgur.com/vpsmi.gif<br />
<br />
Flunk Day newspapers have been printed. <--- proof? <--- Does it matter? TKS doesn't know when Flunk Day is. <--- The newspapers have been printed for a month. And TKS doesn't know when Flunk Day is. <--- Obviously, since flunk day was supposed to be last wednesday. <- TKS prints the papers at the beginning of spring term so they're always ready for flunk day <-- Confirmed, we made it the first week back. But it's a really cool issue. <br />
<br />
According to the calendar, the Stix Hooper with the Galesburg Jazz Quintet was cancelled. Because they heard it would be Flunk Day? <------ Prof. Nikki Malley has confirmed that they did NOT cancel due to flunk day. No one who planned the event knows when the day is. <br />
<br />
IT'S FLUNK DAY TODAY OR TOMORROW. Proof: custodian lady in seymour was bored and started a conversation, casually mentioned how all the flunk day food was here except for the fruit and buns... saw her like an hour later again and she said, and I quote, "enough fruit came in this morning to fill Noah's ark," and insisted that flunk day would have to be Monday or Tuesday based on the timing of the fruit arrival and the calendar of events for the installation PREPARE TO FLUNK!!! <- confirmed by caf ladies (I work at the caf) <- DOUBLE CONFIRMED. I ASKED THE NICE CAF LADY WHO SWIPES US IN (BETTY WHITE?)<--- Carolyn, also known as the woman I want to adopt me <--I thought her name was Carlyne. <-- def carlyne. she already adopted me so i would know.<br />

Drove back from Peoria, 4 white semi trucks were in front of me on the Galesburg exit and went to the hotel by the highway. prepare to FLUNK.<br />

My roommate's fortune from her fortune cookie: http://i.imgur.com/NBax5.jpg FLUNK DAY!<br />
<br />
Flunk day for the Alumni was held in Chicago on Friday April 27th. Maybe they knew already :O<br />
<br />
1:57 PM Kaitlyn and Jack spotted walking to the Union Board office. Routine meeting...OR FLUNK????<br />
<br />
5:45 PM: I saw Kaitlyn Duling in the caf and she was very polite to me. Flunk Day is tomorrow! <--Kaitlyn is always nice!<br />
<br />
6:41 PM quickie guy hopes its tomorrow, but admits he doesn't know for sure.<br />
<br />

6:57 PM Jil Gates spotted in her office <- confirmed<br />
<br />
6:59 PM Midterm moved back due to strong likelihood of flunk day!!! this is it guys!!!!!!!! <- CONFIRMED <- double confirmed, thank god<br />
<br />
7:00 PM Professor who shall not be named (seriously, they'll be mad if they found out) thinks it's flunk day tomorrow because the installation events posters suggest it is this week (and early, so tomorrow)<br />
<br />
As a senior, we do not have a scare planned for tomorrow. Let's work together and find those FD clues tonight <-confirmed <-- And that's what Flunk Day is all about!<br />
<br />
7:06 PM Cheryl (mail room lady now that Niel retired) spotted in the mail room!!!! <- CONFIRMED!! <- her name is Sherrill.<br />
<br />
7:09 PM it feels like flunk day <- it felt like that in the caf too <- confirmed<br />
<br />
7:13 PM Jil is still in her office!! FLUNK DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <- that doesn't mean it's flunk day <- why else would she CHOOSE to work on a Sunday night when she lives on campus and works 5 days a week?!? it's just too strange <- I talked to Jil a few weeks ago, and she was saying she wouldn't be around much this weekend, so this does seem suspicious. <--Why is it so weird that she's in her office? I live on campus and ostensibly only have school 5 days a week, but I definitely end up in SMC on the weekends.<br />
<br />
7:14PM TWO TRUCKS JUST DROVE BY!!! <-pics or it didn't happen <- they drove by, sorry for not chasing them down in the rain with my camera. <br />
<br />

<br />
7:17PM hyvee worker said they've seen several professors and a TON of knox students today. that's all the proof I needed<br />
Last year we found out by calling the golf club to see if they had a big group reservation for the next day... anyone feel like doing that?<br />
<br />
7:22 PM a bunch of seniors just walked into post lobby with their purchases (alcohol), maybe friars?? <-- Friars don't know yet.<br />

7:34PM weather looks good tomorrow!!! it's supposed to be bad the rest of the week, flunk day better be tomorrow! <- confirmed<br />
<br />
7:39 PM a bunch of trucks were parked by the gym earlier today and two men were walking around campus, i bet they were looking at the layout of campus and the field house for setting stuff up tomorrow <- confirmed, I saw them and thought the same thing<br />
<br />
7:44 PM caf worker leaving her shift said she was mad she wasn't going to be here tomorrow because "I like to watch you guys," i asked her what she meant and she just smiled and shook her head and left. FLUNK DAY!!!!!!<br />
<br />
7:50PM knock knock. who's there? FLUNK DAY!<br />
<br />
7:51 pm hey guys i'm pretty positive flunk day is tomorrow, my dad is an alum who is coming into town for the inauguration events and he got an e-mail a week ago I guess (i just found out about it now, figures) saying to come in tomorrow or wednesday because the students had a "large campus event" monday < screen cap? this could be HUGE <br />
<br />
7:58 PM maintenance guy just said he thought flunk day was tomorrow!!! woohoo!!!!<br />
<br />
8:01PM too many scares are planned this week, I doubt flunk day is before inauguration <- its early enough that it won't matter <- no, it isn't. events start this week <- it's DEFINITELY still early enough, flunk day tomorrow will give them time to clean up properly before her big day <- to wait till after would mean to wait till May 11th. Too close to finals<br />
<br />
The legends say that Flunk Day is not dead. Instead, it will return to Knox in a time of dire need. So, Flunk Day is tomorrow. <- confirmed<br />
<br />
8:21PM Midterm monday is the day we all deserve, but not the one we need right now. FLUNK DAY!!! (also, suspicious activity in seymour, but who knows it could just be normal activity. whatever)<br />
<br />
8:27PM I NEED IT TO BE FLUNK DAY TOMORROW. THIS SHIT IS RIDICULOUS. <- generally people should not believe everything they see on the internet (especially anything "wiki"), but THIS IS SO TRUE. FLUNK DAY FLUNK DAY FLUNK DAY <-confirmed<br />
<br />
8:30 Jill Gates spotted going back into office. She heard us talking about Flunk Day and gave us a knowing look. Caf lights are on and people are doing things inside. Bookstore lights also on. My god, this could be huge.<br />
<br />
8:44 p.m.: I have written two sentences of a 10-page paper due tomorrow. If Flunk Day is not tomorrow, I am going to die.<br />
<br />
8:46 pm is it flunk day yet????<br />
<br />
8:59 pm Went on a desperate C-Store info-gathering mission. No one could confirm that Flunk Day is tomorrow. Curses. <-this also means they couldn't deny it!!<br />
<br />
9:02 PM After all this rain the mud pit should be easy, anyone got a shovel?<br />
<br />
9:00 pm Red sky at night, sailor's delight. When sailors delight in the midwest, it's obviously a flunk day omen. -overheard from J.O.<br />
<br />
^^these two posts don't make sense timing-wise. THE END IS NEAR!!! <- [http://i.imgur.com/EfXfu.png proof the end is near]<br />
<br />
9:12 PM there's a scare planned, but I think the scare will turn into the real thing. it's like a scare within a scare... --> FLUNKCEPTION. We need to go deeper. <-that's what she said < poor girl. Anyway, who planned the scare? <- don't worry about it, just know that there is one<br />
<br />
9:27 PM I'm almost done with all my homework. This NEVER happens. clearly tommorrow is flunk day<br />
<br />
9:34PM MAIL ROOM ACTIVITY! (no I didn't take a stupid picture, enough people live in that building with better cameras that if one is even necessary someone can go take one) lights on and people talking. nothing in my box though (yet!)<br />
<br />
9:45pm The song I karaoke'd to last Flunk Day came on Pandora. Sign from holy spirit of velociraptors? <- [http://cdn.randomfunnypicture.com/pictures/1242Holy_Shit535.jpg confirmed]<br />
<br />
9:50PM Regina spotted walking down to Rodge Lodge, upon questioning she said she was "looking forward to tomorrow." <--Confirmed. <--Double confirmed. <--She looked nervous and was in a hurry. Where did she need to be at 10 pm?? <-- Come on, seriously? <- nice try troll! if this were true, it wouldn't be flunk day, which is what you KNEW when you posted it, so IT MUST BE FLUNK DAY BECAUSE THIS SHIT ISN'T REAL!! <br />
<br />
10:31 PM Asked Magic Eight Ball if it is Flunk Day tomorrow. "It is certain" was the reply. <- probably the best evidence yet <- confirmed<br />

<br />

The Green Oaks people do their best to find out when it's Flunk Day at least the night before! Do they know something???? <--- lolz nice try they know nothing <-- Zak Kahn didn't even know anything when he was at Knox, let alone now...<br />
<br />
10:48 p.m. Me: Is it Flunk Day tomorrow? Internet magic 8 ball: It seems unlikely. Me: Should I write my paper? Internet magic 8 ball: My sources say no. THE INTERNET IS CONFUSED. Flunk Day is tomorrow.<br />

I just asked him. << confirmed. Charlie has no idea. < Wow, man. Really desperate, aren't you? <- Why would Charlie know? He's a sophomore. << If you ask him he'll say that he's a junior. < Blasphemy. He's an apophomore. <<<<< drunk already?<br />

11:56 PM HAWAIIAN SHIRT IS ON. FLUNK DAY IS ON.<br />
<br />
12:01 AM These updates are flunking stupid. Def not Flunk day tomorrow.<--- Confirmed. Updates are shitty and circlejerky. No real information provided. 2/10. Would not read again.<br />
<br />
12:02 AM Those who are non-believers say its not flunk day. They will not survive the final flunk.<br />
<br />
12:10 a.m. The Gizmo workers are abusing the speakers claiming it's Flunk Day. They are hurting the hearts of people writing papers.<br />
<br />
12:16 The Rapture is coming.<br />
<br />
12:22 Routine mail room check: no signs of activity. However, it has been confirmed that, were a student to hide in the alcove by the elevator shaft, a Flunk Day planner coming down the stairs may not see him or her. This could be huge. <---Good to know!:)<-- It's only midnight...<br />
<br />
12:31 AM The Gizmo workers just announced that tomorrow is Flunk Day. They are delusional and know nothing. Do not be fooled. <<< OMG D'ANGELO STOP IT YOU ARE RUINING MY BUZZ<br />
<br />
12:41 What is the status of students that are abroad?<br />
<br />
12:45 AM if there was a god, I'd pray for flunk day.<br />
<br />
12:48 AM Pouring rain has begun. Will it let up? Has flunk day been pushed back? Only time will tell. <--apparently there's no rain for later in the day so we might be good. but the mudpit is like watering itself right now so if this isn't taken advantage of I GIVE UP - Stop complaining about the mudpit. Have you checked it? It's fine. <--- I don't think this was a complaint about the mudpit. Whoever posted this was just saying by having rain the mudpit is taking care of itself and that it would require less work to water if it is indeed flunk day. <--yeah that's exactly what I was saying, sorry it was taken the wrong way<br />
<br />
12:55 AM Pirates of the Caribbean almost over <--- That means the rum is about gone, can't be flunk day if the rum is gone :(<--- Or are we at World's end?!?!<br />
<br />
1:14 AM [http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120313150151/mlp/images/6/66/Pinkie_with_crystal_ball_6_S2E20.png traveling fortune teller told me today is flunk day]<br />
<br />
1:22 AM Sam Martone is losing his shit. Today must be Flunk Day. Also, Sam Martone reading about himself will only cause him to lose his shit even more, perpetuating an ego-driven cycle of shit-losing, resulting in the conclusion that Flunk Day is, indeed, today. Because Flunk Day revolves around Sam Martone, and vice-versa. <-- Sam Martone probably wrote this. Yeah?<br />
<br />
1:42 AM Waking up to no flunk day is like waking up to a world where Katniss and Peeta aren't together. <-- That would pretty much suck, that would mean you'd be waking up to a world of reapings and hunger games, cause they didn't get together till the very end. <-see this shit Union Board??!? THIS is why flunk day HAS to be today, people are losing their minds. <-- confirmed, i have misplaced mine<br />
<br />
1:57 a.m. We walked by those wooden doors in Seymour that close off Ferris Lounge entrance at 1:10 a.m. and they were shut and locked. THOSE DOORS ARE NOW OPEN AND THAT HALL HAS LIGHTS ON. <--- Same thing happened last week. Whatever.<br />
<br />
1:59 a.m. Three seniors are camped out on the stairwell over the Union Board office. If anyone goes in, they'll see. <-- having to walk by them is freaking me out, they're really intense. <---I don't know who these seniors are, but I love you.<br />
<br />
I was one of the above seniors. At 12:09 we witnessed Jack Moore walk into the UB office. We watched the office until 2:00 AM and he had still not emerged. The lights in the office remained off for the entire 2 hours. <== Could he have snuck out???? <--- no, unless there is more than one door to the office. But I'm pretty sure there isn't.<br />
<br />
2:17 am: Let me just say, I am way better at checking the wikifire for updates than I am at doing my homework. And I'm betting I'm not alone here... <-- CONFIRMED! I have no clue how to speak chinese like i'll have to for tomorrow!<br />
<br />
2:20AM: No flunk day mail yet. Boo. There is still hope, though!<br />
<br />
2:24AM: Jack Moore's apartment lights are off....Is he still in the UB office?<br />
<br />
2:25am-Some UB members are supposed to be going to bradley for a UB training session on Tuesday! Who are the UB members going? Kaitlyn, Jack Regina and Jil? <--Someone find out.<br />
<br />
2:26 am: Any mailroom action? Anybody? http://cinemagr.am/show/5424768<br />
<br />
2:30 a.m. Is this a normal amount of lights for the kitchen? [[File:Photo.jpg]] <--- Yes it's been like that every night for about a week now. Maybe longer.<br />
<br />
2:51 a.m. White truck with "The Voice" on the side in blue font spotted driving past Fiji. Does that name mean anything to anyone? An act or anything? <----- ISN'T THAT A TV SHOW? THIS COULD BE HUGE! <---- http://www.nbc.com/the-voice/ <---That truck has been in Galesburg for a week... <=== Need Evidence! Perhaps auditions being held in Galesburg?<--- "2:37 PM White Loading Truck with the word VOICES just drove past tompkins." (April 27th, thewikifire.org)<br />
<br />
[[File:315am.jpg]]<br />
<br />
3:56 a.m Above image is photoshopped, he has no shadow, also the arm looks off.<----CONFIRMED (I can tell by the pixels)<br />
<br />
4:01 am: He is clearly hovering above the ground like a Flunk Fairy. I AM ALREADY DRUNK. IS ANYONE AWAKE????<br />
<br />
4:03 am: seen around seymour... http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly4m2qWEpw1qhy6c9o2_r1_500.gif<br />
<br />
4:30 am: dude in founders says, "It's terrible to have to study on Flunk Day..." I don't know if he's flunkin with me...<br />
<br />
5:07 am: At long last, a guy walked toward Seymour with a package and an awkward gait. Many cars drift the streets. We remain paperless and unstuffed. The yellow fog rubs its back upon the window panes. Our sore throats squeak in unison, "If I could talk, I said I would talk, but I wouldn't." Come on, Eileen.<br />
<br />
5:35 am: No email. No activity. No Flunk. Today is gonna suck. <------ CONFIRMED!! <br />
<br />
8:04 AM: LOL can't believe that anyone thought it would be today. Tuesday or Wednesday mofos :) <--- you dont know when it will be and neither do any of us. <----Also, you should not go to this school if you're going to be that big of a dick about when you think flunk day will be. <br />
<br />
10:32 am: Guys. Flunk Day doesn't exist. It's never going to happen.<br />
<br />
11:10 am: GOD DAMN IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
11:31 AM: Flunk day is more of a burden than something to look forward to now. Everyone has too much work to do and schedules are getting tighter. <---CONFIRMED. No longer even looking forward to it, just want it to be over with...<br />
<br />

<br />
== May 1st FLUNK ALL THE THINGS!!!==<br />
<br />
All the activities that are planned, for whenever the Flunking thing is, better be Flunking worth it.<br />
<br />
FRESHMEN NEED TO STOP BITCHING ABOUT JOKES ON THE WIKIFIRE. This isn't supposed to be a legitimate source of information. One day, when you are a senior, you will understand.<---Probably not a senior.<---Confirmed <br />
<br />
Follow me on this my young'ns: lights on in the mailroom--->only important if it is where the mail is STUFFED. How the hell are they supposed to see where to put our goodies otherwise? Lights on in the caf and in the backroom of the caf<--- ALWAYS ON<br />
<br />
Before you post about something HUGE, take a look around when it's not HUGE and see what is ordinary to find out when it's extraordinary. Friggen noobs are killing me.<br />
<br />
Haymarket Riot-themed flunk. <--I always think this says "Haymitch" #hungergames lolz<br />
<br />
Another conspicuous day of events: Spanish Table, Photo Exhibit, Red Room, and a Family Planning Booth.<br />
The Chicago Knox Club Alumni Relations proclaims May first as Flunk Day<br />
<br />
Well this is probably Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
Dress rehearsal for main stage dance show. Not Flunk Day. <--As someone who's been in a Spring mainstage show, rehearsals have zero effect on Flunk Day. We had to show up my freshman year for rehearsal anyways. <- pretty sure "dancers" aren't on the list of people they plan flunk day around.<--they probably won't flunk with the show, since it's part of the installation, but I bet they don't give a flunk about rehearsals. <- the dance show doesn't matter (former planner here, alumni '07) <-- To calm the masses, as well as myself, about dance rehearsal. "If Flunk Day is Tuesday we will cancel our dress for that day. In its place we will do two runs on Wednesday. Call at 4pm with a go time of 4:30pm. We will then take an hour break and do another run at approx. 7:30pm."<br />
<br />
This is what sucks. April 30 isn't going to be Flunk Day, then everyone will get riled up for today to be Flunk Day. This will be about the sixth time the campus and the wikifire page have gone insane trying to predict it. Then this will also not be Flunk Day, and we will have to wait until after the installation. Sucks. <----- THIS SUPER SUCKS!! CONFIRMED =/ <br />
<br />
it's today. this is gonna be bonkers.<br />
<br />
Ugh. It should have been the 30th. <- UPVOTE <- CONFIRMED <--- When does the narwhal bacon?? <-- Please, don't. <- MIDNIGHT. thank god people understand... <br />
<br />
Guise. May 1st is May Day.. MAYDAY. FINAL FLUNK. WORLD ENDING.<br />
It's all connected...<br />
<br />
An official from the NCAA is visiting on this day. This has been planned for quite some time. I say, no flunk. Womp womp <--- He's not meeting with students. This doesn't really mean much.<br />
<br />
if its not flunk day today, there might be riots<br />
<br />
4:07 PM VELAC-A-RAPTARS HEARD ON SENIOR BOOZE RUN!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
IT'S TODAY OR IT'S NEVER AND I WOULD BET ALL MY MONEY (WHICH IS NOT A LOT) THAT IT IS NEVER. <- EXACTLY WHAT ALL OF CAMPUS FEELS LIKE (INCLUDING FACULTY AND STAFF. WTF)<br />
<br />
5:00 PM Saw Jil Gates in Seymour, asked her when FLUNK DAY was, she said yesterday. great sadness. <-- that's a little suspicious...because Flunk Day is ALWAYS tomorrow...ya know? <-- She says that every day.<br />
<br />
5:59 PM CONFIRMING THE ABOVE: Saw Jil Gates walk into the Campus Life Office. Later saw a senior walk out of the Campus Life Office, even though the office is blacked out? what's going on? <- [http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz0f657gu31qhvtgno1_400.jpg we all know what's going on here]<br />
<br />
6:57PM DOOMSDAY daa daaa daa deerr derr daa DOOMSDAY yeah bum head nods<br />
<br />
7:00 pm presentation moved back due to HIGH FLUNK PROBABILITY!!!! <br />
<br />
7:22 pm Craig Southern seen walking past old main towards the parking lot, constantly looking around. If you ask me that's peculiar. <-- Craig is always a little shady, let's be real. <---confirmed, always seems like hes up to something, also housing lottery time <-----He was leaving the campus life meeting!<br />
<br />
This morning at work I saw Helumt rolling around at least 10 boxes of beef. FLUNK DAY.<br />
<br />
There are events for Latino Pride week every day but Tuesday. Suspicious?<br />
<br />
<span style="color:#f3f3f3">Why all this white space? Are there mysterious messages hidden here? <--- Confirmed</span><br />

<br />
All of the caf workers seem to think it's tomorrow...anyone care to elaborate on this?<------ All of the caf workers seem to think it's tomorrow. <--- Love the caf workers to death but their guesses are no better than ours<br />
<br />
I haven't any fucks left to give. <-- Confirmed. This could be sad and anti-climactic. <----- I have plenty of fucks left to give. DTF. <-- You mean "Down to Flunk?" <br />
<br />
Ok everyone. Let's not lose the flunk spirit. I know it's hard, I wake every day down-trodden and upset that I was not awaken by a bunch of hooligans at 6am, but flunk day will come. We need to keep our spirits up. I have already begun to accept that Flunk day will not be until next week, but there is nothing wrong with that. We can't let this FLUNKING Union Board FLUNKING oppress us!!! This is a call to arms my brothers, meet me tomorrow with a beer in your hand at the Union Board office to protest this FLUNKING miserable situation. <---Too much effort neccessary, just keep hoping it is Flunk Day tommorrow, saves everyone some time.<---DO YOU HEAR THE PEOPLE FLUNK, SINGING THE SONG OF FLUNKY DRUNKS, IT IS THE MUSIC OF A PEOPLE WHO WILL ALWAYS FLUNK AGAIN, WHEN THE BEATING OF YOUR HEART ECHOES THE BEATING OF THE FRIARS THERE IS A LIFE ABOUT TO START WHEN THE FLUNK DAY COMES.<- WILL YOU HELP US STORM U B, WHO WILL SLEEP IN AND DRINK WITH ME? BEYOND THE BACARDI IS THERE A FLUNK YOU LONG TO SEE?<--Confirmed. WE WILL FLUNK AGAIN IN FREEDOM IN THE SHADOW OF OLD MAIN. WE WILL SLIP IN THE MUD PIT AS THE FRIARS START TO SING. NO FUCKS WILL BE GIVEN AND ALL KNOX WILL HAVE ITS REWARD! <br />
<br />
9:20PM flunk day planners seen walking out of union board office with jil gates! Can anyone confirm? Also, where the flunk did the "May 1st" part of the page go?!!! <---Confirmed, well at least that she was with jack, i passed the two of them walking towards the apartments from seymour on my way from apartments to seymour<-----I'm on Union Board, we meet on Fridays from 8-9 and we were voting on Fall term events today so it went a little late; and I'm pretty sure Jack Walks with Jil home every monday <--- Did they go up a hill to fetch a pail of water? THIS COULD BE HUGE. <---CONFIRMED AS LONG AS THEY DON'T BREAK THEIR CROWNS<br />
<br />
Shit. sucks.<br />
<br />
10:00PM Kaitlyn Duling walks out of the front door of gingerbread house, makes a left towards Hamblin and meets someone, whose face is obscured in the shadows. They talk briefly, and then move on. This is a report from the Jazz House Roof. < CONFIRMED < freaking flunking snipers on the roof tops... spotting any suspicious flunktivity BRAVO for ALPHA over. <-- people stop and briefly talk to each other all the time B/C WE R A CUMUNITY HEAR @ KNOX! <-- FALSE!

10:46PM The Flunk Lord of Borzello reigning out of BFE, Indiana proclaims that in less than 2 hours to be the Day of Flunk.<br />
<br />
A friend pointed out that there's a campus beautification thing Sunday. It'd be weird to pretty up the campus just for us to flunk it up, which would imply pre-installation Flunk. <-- Or they could just let us flunk it up after the instillation events are over. <--the installation events are not over until the 11th! <-- "One of my supervisors at the library mentioned that Flunk Day has been as late as May 13. I hereby commiserate with everyone else contributing to this page." Just saying. <-- thing on Sunday seems more of a volunteer opportunities rather than a specific campus beautification thing<br />
<br />
I'm fairly certain this "Flunk Day" thing is just a myth. <----- I called Discovery and they're sending the Myth Busters tomorrow.<--CONFIRMED. They're going to blow stuff up and that's the super secret performance. <-- THAT'D BE AWESOME.<br />
<br />
Parking lot next to yellows is closed off between 3 am and 9 am. Prime set up hours!!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh ye of little faith. Thou look upon the day of flunk with doubt, like a false idol. But I was sent by forces thou canst not fathom but within thy sleeping prayers. I stand in the face of injustice and ask my brothers and sisters in this kingdom of flunk we inhabit graciously, and I ask you for your faith. We must ask forgiveness for our hubris in denying the one great truth. We must stand together as believers despite the harsh crucibles that have perturbed us. I do not ask that Flunk day shall usurp this first of May. I know it shall. My soul knows it shall. Sacrifice your bitterness and do what is right, brothers and sisters. Our salvation shall come, and it shall be glorious.<br />
<br />
-a desperate man <---CONFIRMED. I STAND WITH THEE! WE MUST NOT FORSAKE HOPE IN OUR TIME OF NEED! WE MUST NEEDS REMAIN STRONG AND VIGILANT! WE MUST NEEDS REMAIN TRUE TOGETHER! IF WE FORSAKE HOPE, WE FORSAKE EVERYTHING!!!<br />
<br />
-you guise. we need to be sneaky sneaky spies and get down to business and snoop the hotels, mailroom, caf, seniors, offices, etc! you know the drill! if it's not to tomorrow it's not tomorrow.<br />
<br />

It appears as if someone is filling the mailboxes with something. <-- CONFIRMED. <--They can't be dumb enough to make this mistake again...<---Confirmed, they did it two years ago and everyone knew it was flunkday by 11, way too early, Jack is way too into this to make it that easy <--- Unless we've made them feel sorry enough for us! "Oh, we better just give them this..." <-- pics or video or it didn't happen <-- I guess you'll just have to trust the word of the students. Not everybody walks around with a videocamera 24/7 <--You SHOULD! It's Flunk Day season! You're always supposed to be ready with a camera.

12:49 AM: Flunk Day sees you when you are sleeping, it knows when you're awake, it knows if you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake. You better watch out, you better not lie, you better not doubt, I'm telling you why, El Dia de Flunk is coming to Knox.<br />
<br />
1:03 AM- Seniors spotted walking towards cherry street area! Friars meeting???<-- Question is...how many seniors were there? <-- 3 groups of about 4 or 5 each.<--Sounds LEGIT!! THIS COULD BE HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <--Decided to check it out. they aren't at Cherry Street but they were headed that way. Where are the planners? Who was in the group?? <- I don't know a lot of seniors but about half of them were girls and half guys. one was tall, one was blonde, most wearing dark clothes. <-----CONFIRMED! I SAW THEM TOOOOOOOO<br />

<br />
2:07 AM heard seniors talking about a scare <-confirmed, but my guess is the scare will turn into the real thing (it's happened before). either way I'll be dressed and ready outside tomorrow bright and early waking people up... <- Confirmed...welcome to my life (<3 two seniors not doing their homework)<br />
<br />
2:15 AM A bunch of miller lite beer cans stacked outside of Seymour 2 door. Would take a picture but can't upload via phone. Someone go check it out! FLUNK IS CALLING!<br />
<br />
2:58 AM Big ass fucking truck at the loading mother fucking docks of Seymour, my balls are tingling with flunk <-- I approve this message. <-- Picture? Can anyone confirm????? <--seems legit. Although, my balls are always tingling so I don't know. <-- I'm in SMC and I saw it too! CONFIRMED!<-It looked like the truck(Optimus Prime) out of Transformers!!! <--- http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb166/rescuetheturkey/Photoon2012-05-01at0259.jpg im sad cause it was just a garbage truck<br />

<br />
5:18 AM pretty sure I just heard an air horn. that, or I'm hallucinating sounds from sleep deprivation. flunk is killing me :(<br />

Lame friars are lame. No one in the mud pit? <-- i was the first one in the mud pit and there were no freshmen in there before 7:00. friars are the shit, sorry if you missed out on flunk day while i had flunking fun.<br />
<br />
== May 2nd ==<br />
<br />
NOW WHAT?<br />
<br />
Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
Guys, this was the date of Flunk Day last year. They wouldn't do it on the exact same day twice in a row... or would they? <----CONFIRMED they would!<br />
<br />
Another dress rehearsal for the dance show? Why yes! Not Flunk Day! <--- Stop acting like dancers rule Knox's campus. They don't care. <--- Watch out, we've got a badass over here. <--- [http://weknowmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/watch-out-we-got-a-badass-over-here-meme.png Confirmed]<br />
<br />
== May 4th ==<br />
Today is National Hoagie Day, which means it is Flunk Day OBVIOUSLY<br />
<br />
9:00am Jill's email says: "THE SUN WILL BURN LIKE NEVER BEFORE." The weather channel projects this to be in the 80s. Flunk Day? Maybe... <----FALSE. They don't know the weather predictions when they choose the date <-- No, but the email was sent yesterday, wasn't it? <---- I am laughing at how idiotic the person said false to this is, really use you're brain and think about chronology. Isn't this supposed to be a school for smart people? <-- *your<--ummm, pretty sure she's just trying to make an end-of-times reference while telling us to wear some flunking sunscreen. <br />
<br />
<br />
A Call To Rise: Dance Ensemble Show happening at 7:30pm. Not Flunk Day. <--- Not true. Flunk Day has been on the same day as a dress rehearsal for a dance show in the past. There were plenty of trash cans available in case someone had to vomit<----- Not a dress rehearsal. AN ACTUAL SHOW! Lots of time and money has already gone into putting this show on and lots of people would be pissed if it happened this day. Not Flunk Day <-- Good point about the show. Perhaps not today! <-- Tech and Dress Rehearsals are fair game, but the actual show is not. It's an academic performance, and cannot be rescheduled.<br />
<br />
== May 5th ==<br />
For the first time in Knox history, Flunk Day will be held on a ''Saturday''. Teresa Amott's installation will begin with the usual speeches and fanfare, when suddenly Zombie Lincoln will parachute in with a ghetto blaster and declare, "THIS TRULY IS . . . THE FINAL FLUNK!" at which he will begin a playlist consisting of every Flunk-themed song remake ever made. The Final Flunk will continue through every day until the end of term. Everyone will get As. Teresa will not only be known as Knox's first lady president, but also Knox's dopest president. <-- CONFIRMED! The DOPEST!<br />
<br />
== May 7th ==<br />
Today will be FLUNK DAY!<br />
<br />
This is going to be the start of the first week with Teresa as our new president. What better way to celebrate with Flunk Day?? It will be her first Flunk day EVER and her first as the president!<br />
<br />
If Flunk Day is any day this week, it's going to be WAY too late. Everyone will be so flunking drained from getting their hopes up that we'll all just be cranky and tired. <-- CONFIRMED. I'm doing my homework all day if it's this late, yo. <---It's been this late before! Flunk day was on May 8th in 2007, May 7th in 2001 and May 6th in 2009<br />
<br />
My boss (one of the custodial workers) told me that Teresa doesn't want Flunk Day to be before her inauguration. It is a national event and she wants to keep the campus nice. . .<br />
<-- As much as I hope we don't have to wait that long, it makes the most sense. This is a big Knox event. Teresa is only the 19th president in 175 years and the first women to be president of Knox. All eyes will be on the campus and I doubt her and the other up and ups would want the campus looking like it just got hit by a natural disaster before the big day.<br />
<br />
This whole week is installation week; all sorts of things planned to celebrate her installation. Little chance it will be this week <-- do you think these were planned when the date was picked? The website an emails just recently announced what is happening... Wouldn't it be funny if Flunk day Flunks with the presidents events! <---You're thinking of the previous week. All the installation stuff precedes the actual installation, which is on May 5th. <---- No, they're right. Installation week lasts until May 11th, with many many senior presentations and an honors banquet to show off our school to alums and trustees. Flunk is very unlikely to happen this week. http://www.knox.edu/knox-presidential-installation/schedule-of-events.html <--the 8th and 10th look pretty free. The playwrights' workshop was planned later than flunk, and is probably on the schedule because creative writing faculty shot down the "showcase" that was supposed to be that day, BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T GIVEN ENOUGH TIME<br />
<br />
Installation week goes until May 9 and has been scheduled since forever. Whether or not specific events are planned for this day, there will be a ton of important people and alumni in town. Chances of Flunk Day being today? ZERO POINT ZERO ZERO PERCENT.<br />
<br />
== May 8th ==<br />
What are these fake showcases? Will they wait until Teresa is officially our President to bring the flunk? <---yes! there is too much planning that goes into events like the installation to flunk it up with Flunk Day. <br />
<br />
May 8th is the perfect Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
== May 9th ==<br />
Once again, only meditation..is it too late for flunk? <---It is never too late for FLUNK. When will you people learn. Goddamn it!!! There is no hope for this world if you can't wrap your infant like brain around this!<br />
<br />
Arnold Salgado wishes for this day to be flunk day! => so too does one Johnathan Powers! or it is at least his speculation of the final flunk...<br />
<br />
Did anyone else get an email about a leadership dinner? isn't this how friars were notified years ago?? does this mean I am a friar??? <-- Yes. It means you are a friar. You're supposed to shave your head and show up with a white t-shirt for the event. If you don't shave your head, they won't let you be a friar.<---Last year friars were notified via text. This event is connected to the Honors Banquet which is May 9th. It in no way shape or form is obviously a friar thing. If anything, Jil Gates sent out the email to throw people off.<--- seems like the lady doth protest too much<br />
<br />
== May 10th ==<br />
Another "showcase" or flunk?? <--Showcase CANCELED! THIS COULD BE HUGE!!<--COnfirmed. Does the obvious "CANCELLED" label instead of removal mean something?<br />
<br />
Playwright's Workshop was added to the calendar, but if they waited that long to send it in, it won't FLUNKing matter!<br />
<br />
<br />
LATEST FLUNK DAY EVER, GET READY! IT WILL FEEL LIKE THE END OF TIMES BECAUSE OF ALL OF THE BUILD-UP!<br />

<div>'''FLUNK DAY HAS BEEN CONFIRMED. BITCHES. ''' <br />
<br />
Flunk Day 2011 was held on February 1, during the snowpocolypse. The real kicker was, no one noticed until noon, even the administration. The friars' were on the ball this year! hah<br />
<br />
They're sending out the safety e-mail awfully late, aren't they? Perhaps they're going to pull another, send-it-out-Flunk-Day-is-the-next-day.<br />
<br />
CONFIRMED: Safety lessons for the first years have been completed!<br />
<br />
<br />
How is flunk day season starting with no mud pit digging? Seriously, buy a shovel, use your hands, steal spoons from the caf... Get it together, kids.<br />
essential: get yo walmart soil and water buckets ready!<br />
<br />
==Important Flunk Day Facts==<br />
It's time to remind everyone of important Flunk Day facts:<br />
<br />
1) Seniors are full of lies, especially [[Bob Saget]]<br />
<br />
2) The Friars are don't know they're Friars until they're taken for Flunk Day. Any Senior is a potential Friar.<br />
<br />
3) Oft repeated 'signs' of Flunk Day are nothing more than Red Herrings (mowing lawns, canceling classes, field trips, events, games). Unless these are events planned well in advance they are not considered by Flunk Day planners.<br />
<br />
4) Your professors, supervisors, RAs, and other authority figures do not know when Flunk Day is.<---- ''Campus security found out the day of Flunk over spring break''. Most of them work other jobs and must clear their schedules for the entire day of festivities [ie. alcoholism]. <br />
<br />
5) Don't rely on the forecast. Rain just helps in the making of the mud pit.<br />
<br />
6) Seriously, don't trust seniors.<br />
<br />
7) Trust no one.<br />
<br />
8) Question everything.<br />
<br />
9) Flunk day is ''always'' tomorrow.<br />
<br />
==Flunk Day [http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/23/flunkdayplaners.jpg Planers]==<br />
who are the known flunk day [http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/23/flunkdayplaners.jpg Planers]? What are their schedules? What are their habits?<br />
*[[Britt Anderson]]: Lives in Tompkins, very near [[Jil Gates]]. Much potential for shady business. Often seen going running. Spends a lot of time in GDH and in Martha.<br />
*[[Martha Baumgarten]]: She is the TA of Advanced Comp T/Th from 10:40 to 11:50am. Lives off campus in the grey apartments across from the Quickie. Her roommate is [[Caroline Coatney]]. After [[Sam Martone]] did it, she started a twitter. Here's a [http://twitter.com/#!/martha_my_deer/ link]<br />
*[[Jack Moore]]: One of the tallest kids on campus. Trainer. Can often be seen riding a 'gator' around campus. Also a member of GQ.<br />
*[[Celestina Agyekum]]: She lives in the Admissions Suite in [[Four-Name]] and is choreographing for [[Terp]] this term.<br />
*[[Rachel Hautzinger]]: NOT a Flunk Day [http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/23/flunkdayplaners.jpg Planer]but may have been one if she hadn't been abroad, so maybe they tell her stuff anyways.<br />
*[[Roger Taylor '63]]: In a surprise "last-hurrah" move, Rog decided that he wanted to be a part of the planning this year. So far his ideas have been limited to gathering campus together to hear the speech on how he met his wife "just one last time!" Roger isn't going to work here after next year so you know hes gettin tanked and gunna grind up on every piece of pussy he can find. Look for him passed out on Old Main lawn half naked covered in permanent marker penises. <br />
*[[Alex Steven Hall]]: He is the coordinator of kickin buttocks. He has 3 years of valuable experience in the butt kicking field. He has an overweight, but adorable cat name Mr. Bojangles. He's actually a she. It is rumored that Ms. Kitty Bojangles is the oracle that brings the good news of flunk day to Alex every year. Both his parents work at the school.<br />
<br />
==The Flunk Day Gift==<br />
...is Willy Wonka chocolate bars containing golden tickets!<br />
<br />
There have been CONFIRMED sightings of these boxes of sugary delights being stored in the mailroom. Not the caf - THE MAIL ROOM. <br />
<br />
Golden Ticket: Flunk Day, Admit One<br />
<br />
<br />
rebecca black isn't funny anymore. the only people who find it funny are dickweeds <------- Your face is a dickweed <-----It's 420, let's smoke some dickweed. <----- Let's dick some weed.<br />
<br />
==Friars==<br />
Sam and Martha were in the gallery at dinner today claiming that the Senior who donates the most to save the Wiki Fire will automatically be a Friar. Shady or awesome?<br />
<br />
Fun Friar Facts:<br />
<br />
1) Friars come out BEFORE the e-mail. And normally not just a little before, anywhere up to 20 minutes before, in the age of Xavier, the dean of flunk, you would have to wait and be uncertain.<br />
<br />
2) Seniors are Friars, sounds like a no-brainer, but some folks seem confused still<br />
<br />
3) Once they take seniors, they take their phones, no communicating. Which means if you cant get a hold of a bunch of seniors sometime around 1 or 2...it MIGHT be flunk day.<br />
<br />
4) Friars are loud...very loud...if you've heard a scare you are beginning to get what to expect.<br />
<br />
5) Friars tend to be drunk and as such have a short life expectancy, if you miss your time on the flunk day friar express, be very sad<br />
<br />
'''Who are the Friars this year? So we know who to watch'''<br />
<br />
==Thursday, April 7==<br />
I have a paper due next Wednesday. Obviously, Flunk Day is tomorrow.<br />
I've seen a few alumni in town, tomorrow must be flunk day.<br />
<br />
LUKAS SHAW SAID HE WAS GOING TO POOP IN THE MUD PIT!!!! IF YOU SEE HIM PUNCH HIM IN THE ARM!!!...in other news...flunk day is next thursday<-----LIES!<br />
<br />
The Choreographer's Workshop show starts next Thursday and the week after that is the Dance Residency with Margi Cole and the COLEctive<br />
<br />
==Wednesday, April 13==<br />
<br />
CONFIRMED - mailroom is locked but there is movement in the mailboxes behind the doors!<br />
<br />
CONFIRMED- admissions counselor Sarah Colangelo was told to call prospies and cancel tours tomorrow -->>it's admitted students day tomorrow -->>Dude, tomorrow is Thursday. Admitted students day is Friday. -->> NONE of the students in the admitted students suite have a list of students who are coming and they usually get it a week in advance<br />
^false^ admissions suites are gonna have a crapton of prospies, and I sincerely doubt they would have flunk day on/around admitted students day<br />
<br />
Chris Johnson made up a computer program to predict Flunk Day and it predicted either tomorrow or May 4 and he got into MIT's computer science program. -->> so? the safety e-mail isn't out yet -->> in past years the safety e-mail has come out the day of, Sam Martone tweeted about it. -->> That's legit regardless of when FD is.<br />
<br />
It's going to be too cold. They won't do it yet. Jeez. Freshmen. -->> There were two record breaking highs this week. We're having the highest temperatures since the 1970's. Check the weather report.<br />
<br />
MAILBOXES BEING STUFFED. REPEAT. MAILBOXES BEING STUFFED. *Wonders how many freshmen are running to the mailroom* --> Seriously, the planners were dumb last year and got video taped stuffing the boxes at 11:30. The planners this year wouldn't be dumb enough to stuff them at 10:00. Maybe they were figuring that no one would be paying attention since no email yet?<br />
<br />
CONFIRMED- Kieth in dish room (reliable from previous years) says that Flunk Day will be tomorrow. Extra food was brought in on previous shipment. Related: extra candy was stocked during last C Store delivery. -->> they were selling new candy in the gizmo today (the gummy lifesaver things) too it must have come in from somewhere. Keith doesn't work here anymore.<br />
<br />
Someone should check in town, hotels, wallmart, etc. for carnival equipment.<br />
<br />
Someone has a camera on their phone. Go get a video or picture of stuffed mailboxes. -->> Can't doors are locked. --> The doors have windows in them, the mail boxes have windows in them. They got video last year. -->> I live in seymur I checked my mail at 8 p.m. and it was locked they'd be done by now<br />
<br />
[[Image:Trucks.jpg]]<br />
<br />
^ Do you live in Galesburg? We're at the intersection of 74, 34, and 150. Trucks pull off and park overnight ALL THE TIME. What's the sign on the truck say? Trucks alone mean nothing.<br />
<br />
The seniors are at Senior bowling tonight. Someone check the lanes or at least make sure the shuttles actually bring them back.<br />
<br />
'''Spotted''': known planner Celestina is going to bed. Tomorrow is not Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
==Thursday, April 14==<br />
Willy Wonka bars were received at Knox on Wednesday April 13th. Also, there is NOTHING scheduled on the 14th. Flunk Day?<br />
<br />
Willy Wonka is already drunk. Flunk Day is today. <--- You are my favorite.<br />
<br />
The mud pit has gone from awkward lumpy grass to awkward lumpy dirt clumps. Conger/Neal has also summoned a TORNADO to aid in the mud pit digging process.<br />
<br />
==Monday, April 18==<br />
The safety email has gone out the morning of Flunk Day at-least on one occasion.<br />
<br />
The safety email is officially sent out. Though not as humorous as previous emails sent out by Xavier, the meaning is the same: Flunk Day IS tomorrow.<br />
<br />
Today and tomorrow are Passover and yesterday was the beginning of Holy Week leading up to Easter. We ain't gonna Flunk this week. -->Since when has Knox planned around religious events.<br />
<br />
11:55am: Roger Taylor was just standing on cherry street across from the old jail and an unmarked SUV stopped and then sped away. Roger was no longer standing there. Clearly a secret flunk day rendezvous with willy wonka himself is taking place.<br />
<br />
==Tuesday, April 19==<br />
Safety email on Monday, Flunk Day has to be Tuesday!<br />
<br />
<br />
10:48 PM, flashlights spotted in the mailroom. it better not be flunk day tomorrow. but seems like it is...--> Clearly, all sign are pointing towards tomorrow being flunk day<br />
<br />
Just ran into Helmut in the restroom down the hall from founders. Depsite the funny accent, why is he here?<br />
<br />
out at walmart. seems like we are not the only once to get booze. '''This could be HUGE!'''<br />
<br />
12:27 AM it is confirmed. Flunk Day is tomorrow Helmut spotted AGAIN in the CAF..''' IT IS FLUNK DAY TOMORROW.'''... whoever had the idea: nice job but way early!<br />
<br />
FLUNK DAY IS NOT KOSHER FOR PASSOVER.<br />
<br />
Martha Baumgarten (Sr. Flunk Day Planner) seen drinking at Sigma Chi at 11:23PM, time for you to start too! (Confirmed)--> That would make it too obvious...<br />
<br />
All of these artciles have saved me a lot of headaches.<br />
<br />
==Thursday, April 21==<br />
<br />
Women's tennis meet with Dubuque canceled because they "couldn't come." Why couldn't they come and why did they just back out now? Suspicious.<-- The match was never listed on Dubuque's schedule, only on Knox's. Sketchy. <-- Messaged a girl on the Dubuque team. She said they were never scheduled to come to Galesburg.<--So it's obvious that the game was never scheduled for realz. Is this just a ploy, that was built into the schedule, to throw us off?<br />
<br />
Again, Choreographer's Workshop opens that night. Not gonna happen this week <------does anyone know for a fact that the planners agreed to this?<---- They can't do it on a show day, because then all of the work the student's put together, on any show, it wasted. It'd be a bull shit move if it were on Thursday.<----I'm not saying it's fair but they have made "bullshit" moves before <br />
<br />
Overheard Debbie Southern in the Rog Lodge: "I haven't written the email yet, I've got to get on that." What's the hurry Debbie?<br />
<br />
Friar texts are out. Senior meeting is tonight. Coincidence?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
~ Talked to THE SOURCE TODAY. Flunk Day is '''SOONER''' than expected. But later than some assumed.<--Please elaborate about who "The Source" is. ....>>>>Saw Helmut talking about it (How often can you say Flunk in a dialog if you arent talking about it) today in his language (austrian ? german ?) to another person. Girl behind me said she kept understanding "Tomorrow".<br />
-->> omg i did see that too! But ok just because u heard them talking it doesn't mean it's true.<br />
<br />
<br />
HyVee catering van seen leaving Seymour loading dock around 1:30. '''> CONFIRMED (Would they be that stupid?) -->> Pi Phi's had their Founder's Day Dinner, which is a catered event and could account for this. -->> At 1:30 am?? Smells like Flunk Day.''' <-- This was posted this afternoon, referring to 1:30 PM.<br />
<br />
Overheard certain seniors talking about receiving a friar txt on 4/20. Overheard other seniors being pissed about not getting friar txts.''' -> CONFIRMED'''<br />
<br />
This is HUGE,<br />
Flunk day is Thursday!<br />
<br />
<br />
>Flunk Day Shirts are in the Mail! ''Why distribute them already if it aint '''flunk day''' tomorrow?''<br />
<br />
<br />
Pasta Night on a Tuesday and Breakfast for Dinner on a Wednesday? Now they're just messing with us.<br />
<br />
Unconfirmed reports of Seniors disappearing from Cirque trip. Friars?<-- Cirque just got out. Too fascinating a show to be bothered with texting people back. Try again in 5 minutes.<br />
<br />
Has there been mudpit activity? Peeps better get on it; Flunk day def. tomorrow. Heard seniors are loading up on pallets of Key Stone, etc. <---Pallets?! Do you know much "Key Stone" is in a pallet?<br />
<br />
OVERHEARD IN CAFE, a bunch of basketball players asked if JACK MOORE was going to senior night, he responded "no, too much work to do", both the senior planners are on the trip to Cirque Du Soliel, and the other junior planner doesn't drink... THIS IS HUGE!!! This is awesome!<br />
<br />
THURSDAY'S PERFORMANCE OF CONNECTIVE TISSUE CANCELLED DUE TO "DAMAGED EQUIPMENT IN STUDIO THEATER." <---FALSE<--- Two of the dancers of connective tissue think velociRUPtors are more likely to eat you than the canceling of Connective Tissue <---- Production Manager of Connective Tissue says you're full of shit. Both dress rehearsals ran smoothly, gels are fine, lights are fine, dancers are fine. Suck it.<br />
<br />
Anyone who has read the past years' Flunk Day pages knows the picture that was just posted is complete BS. Thinking tomorrow isn't FD and everyone is getting worked up.<br />
<br />
I tasted the earth near the mud pit and the result was salty. This foretells the imminent trampling of the ground by many muddy feet. FLUNK DAY!<br />
<br />
zomg zomg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMF0E-wU0Us THIS IS HUGE<--Clearly video from last year. <br />
<br />
11:30PM- JACK MOORE WALKING TOWARDS THE QUICKIE WEARING A BLACK HOODIE trying to cover his face, I thought he said he had to get work done. SOMEONE BUM RUSH HIM AND SEE WHAT HE's UP TOO!!!!<br />
<br />

It's 4:57. No email. Still desperately holding out hope, but the friars pretty much would have had the whole place in an uproar by now if it were Flunk Day. Sad daaaaaay. Is there not even going to be a scare?! I'm gonna be pretty pissed if there isn't a scare, at least. <<there is your scare. do you hear them? they are very loud. 5:23. Last year the email wasn't out til 6, anyway. <---SCORE!! Thanks for pulling through scarers and/or Flunkers. :D Email? Email?!! Email now?! If it's just a scare, it's a really good one.<br />
<br />
Persistent scare...<br />

So, Anna Meier is interviewing Martha and Britt right now in the Gizmo. FLUNK DAY is being talked about... potential interview for the TKS. Potentially not... potentially dropping hints. Flunk Day will most certainly be next week, judging by their body language and facial expressions. Nervousness seems to be peaking.<br />
<br />
==Friday, April 22==<br />
I really hope [[Flunk Day]] doesn't happen before this, because I need to get paid so I can buy [[alcohol]].<br />
<br />
Also, this likely means [[Flunk Day]] will happen before this day ("pay day"), because then too many students will be too broke to get drunk.<br />
<br />
JACK MOORE seen in the Gizmo rushing to get "WORK" done!... UB planners seen buying alcohol at WalMart. Coincidence...I think not. EL DIA DE FLUNK BITCHES!!!<-- Glad to see you've got time travel worked out.<-- Time travel = El Dia de Flunk?? :O<br />
<br />
Flunk Day is never on a Friday. We will have to wait until next week.<br />

<br />
Gizmo worker spotted random old man, why would he be here on a Easter Sunday night and lingering around the Gizmo ordering weird things while looking out of the window??<-----Prolly a crackhead got ahold the wrong stuff <----- Not a crackhead, he was surveying the lawns and looking at his watch. Coincidence? I think not! ---> AND then he sat in founders at one of the computers??!? Killing TIME PERHAPS??? <---------Knew the old man was not involved in Flunk Day!!! How is one old man eating grilled cheese with pickles connected to Flunk Day???? <br />

<br />
Flunk Day does not exist. <---- CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
Prospies are on campus and they are not robots. Flunk Day is not today. <--- how do you know they aren't robots <-- there were prospies on campus during last years Flunk day. They had their purple folders and everything. <br />
<br />

<br />
Craig Southern was notably absent from RA training. Walked in during the last ten minutes with a brand new haircut. Getting ready for flunk day photo ops? <---Confirmed. He was working too much anyways. <br />
<br />
Jill Gates rushed the end of RA training to be done by nine... does she want to go to bed early? Maybe she has a date? <br />
<br />
While lurking in the Old Main vents, I hovered above the women's bathroom and heard a female voice resembling Debbie Southern in between taco-in-a-bag grunts saying she's tired of dealing with (and i quote) "Flunk day shit" and that she's not looking forward to Wednesday <----- confirmed, my girlfriend claims she was in the stall next to her<br />
<br />
'''PROFESSORS DO NOT KNOW WHEN FLUNK DAY IS UNTIL THE DAY OF. Let's remember that, folks.'''<--- That's a lie. A lot of them find out through the grapevine. <---I heard it through the grapevine / Not much longer would you be mine. / Oh I heard it through the grapevine, / Oh and I'm just about to lose my mind. / Honey, honey yeah.<br />
<br />
Zen Buddhist Sitting Meditation Practice(?). Also, the date of birth of Ulysses S. Grant, aka Lincoln's BFF. Flunk day is obviously April 27th. (This is by far the best reasoning I've ever heard for Flunk Day.)<br />
<br />
Overhead in Gizmo on 4/19/2011: A Campus Safety office was overheard saying he was scheduled for eight extra hours on some unspecified day this week. EIGHT EXTRA FLUNK DAY HOURS???<br />

<br />
Jil Gates is MYSTERIOUSLY UNAVAILABLE to meet any time today. Come on. COME ON.<---This is confirmed. She's refusing to meet until Friday.<br />

<br />
Random sports event canceled by another college. When students at said college are asked why, they reply that "[sports event] never was planned." <br />
<br />
Professor Polite doesn't have a film viewing scheduled for his Philosophy and Fantasy class, even though there has been one every Wednesday this term. THIS COULD BE HUGE! <--not important. Polite gives movie days off for funsies during fall term, too<br />
<br />
Nothing substantial happening this day...It's going to happen today so that it does not interfere with Lincoln fest or the dance performance. --What about Caxton Club? <--Indeed. And this lady is coming from New York. Which is kind of a big fucking deal. Which casts much doubt on the probability of Flunk Day happening this day. <-- But this most likely wasn't planned far enough in advance. Bigger things have been screwed over before..<--- Confirmed by Professor Hellenga that this editor's arrival was planned after Flunk Day. It will not effect the flunk date.<br />
<br />
Overheard common senior meeting frequenter saying they would not be attending senior meeting this week, FOR NO REASON. Clearly it's because flunk day is this day.---Roger threatening to cancel future senior meetings? Ploy for Flunk Day??<br />

I was just standing next to the mud pit. What do I look like?<=== You look STUPID, Debbie Southern was NOT by the mud pit. I guard that shit, I'd know.<--- You don't guard SHIT, because I SAW Debbi Southern riding with campus safety in a golf cart<br />
<br />
1pmish Mowing of the lawns despite wet grass/a bit of rain too.<br />
<br />
Also around 1: Kathleen Drake seen walking around the quads, near the mud pit...<-- She doesn't know when it is and is the supervisor of Quads so it makes sense she'd be around<--Actually, She is the supervisor of the quads AND knows when Flunk Day is.<--- Jil Gates is the only person in Campus Life who knows when Flunk Day is<--I had a conversation with Jillian and she was super bummed because she was the only one of the 4 supervisors to not know. <---- I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE ANYMORE<--- KATHLEEN KNOWS, Jillian doesn't<br />

Prospective students were here on Monday.<--Can you confirm? This could be huge! <---- This is untrue. While there were prospectives overnight Sunday/during the day Monday, there are 2 overnights scheduled for tonight (Tuesday night) and 3 for Wednesday night. The Wednesday ones are sketchy though. FLUNK DAY IS THURSDAY, SPREAD THE WORD PEOPLE<-- I overnighted on a FLunk day as a prospie. this means nothing, just that they are lucky fucks! I second that! there were prospies here last year on flunk day!<---There are 8 prospies tomorrow...i wish i would've came on flunk day. rough.<br />

THIS COULD BE HUGE<--- CONFIRMED, they were both out of the office when I went in there at 2:30 <--- CONFIRMED Jil just spotted going into the Campus Life Office at 6:15pm.... Flunk day MUST be Tomorrow!<---'''SOMEONE STALK JIL ALL NIGHT'''<br />
<br />
Overheard that Flunk Day will be a good way to celebrate the Royal Wedding...which is on Friday!<-- Stupid, Flunk Day will NEVER be on a Friday <---NO, the Royal Wedding is on Friday...the comment was implying that FD would therefore be this week!<br />
<br />
There was a massive rainbow outside Target today, which means flunk day has to be tomorrow.<--- Was it a TRIPLE RAINBOW????<--- Who are you? What are you doing at Target? Getting a Flunk Day stash? HUH?? HUHHHH??????<br />
<br />
Best be getting that mud pit ready tonight, just in case... Come on, Freshmen, I even started it for you. Do your job.<br />
<br />
3:40 pm: Large shipment received in the mailroom via Fed Ex Ground. The two workers there were suspicious when the package was for Campus Life. Even more suspicious when Jil had to knock on the door in order to pick up the package after the doors were locked at 4. She said it was "really important" and she "forgot the mail room closed at 4 pm". Why so desperate, Jil?<-----THIS IS HOW WE KNEW LAST YEAR! Most of the time when big packages come in they wait until the next day to get delivered by Casual Labor, but if it can't wait until tomorrow morning....!!<br />

<br />

<br />
Senior meeting is tomorrow...but you cant register parties ON CAMPUS!, perfect way to let seniors who are friars and pass out early, get their night time party on<br />
<br />
Calendar is clear for Wednesday except for Caxton Club...Nancy Miller would TOTALLY be up for the mud pit... <-- Nancy Miller is also talking to Sean Mills's class on Thursday, which means that even if she can't talk for Caxton Club, she'll still have something to do on campus. Not that the Flunk Day [http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/23/flunkdayplaners.jpg Planers] would care, but some people on Facebook have been saying that it can't be tomorrow because she'd be coming for nothing, which is false.<br />

Britt Anderson just sent a Flunk Day safety tip email to the Tri Delta distribution list! <----CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
Andrew Civitteni said that there is a 21% chance that flunk day is Wednesday, that's all the evidence i need<--Basic statistics guys, that means he believes there's a 79% chance it's not tomorrow <---- Yeah, but given that Flunk Day generally happens somewhere in the span of two weeks, that's eight days on which Flunk Day could fall, which would be an average chance of 12.5% per day, so 21% is HUGE compared to that.<br />
<br />

My roommate has a legitimate prospie coming tomorrow. The prospie herself confirmed it.<--- Existing prospies, yes , but they aren't going to purposefully schedule MORE. Flunk Day usually has 2 or so possible days. If Jil gave them the go ahead for tomorrow, they aren't going to say SURE COME SEE!!<br />

Matthew Becker cut his leg today. He has cut his leg the day before Flunk Day for the last two years. Therefore, today is the DAY BEFORE FLUNK DAY! <--CONFIRMED<br />

The one from central IL died earlier this year...unless it's a new one...or zombie Lincoln. <--- Seriously doubt he was the only one. Plus this guy totally had tophat with him and a had a LIncoln beard.<--- There is not only ONE Lincoln Impersonator in IL. HERPDERP<--I am SHOCKED and APPALLED at the lack of loyalty to the old Lincoln impersonator. It's a serious craft, Lincolning, we should respect our fallen fake presidents.<br />

<br />

<br />
11:13 - Van full o' booze at TKE. Clearly this is totally not normal and means that it is Flunk Day tomorrow.<---They have RCB this weekend...and it's actually kind of normal. <-- Like they won't need a whole 'nother van of booze by this weekend.<br />

Pack of wild Velociruptors seen in the Prairie Patch, all mention of them has thus far been removed by Flunk Day [http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/23/flunkdayplaners.jpg Planers]FLUNK DAY TOMORROW!<----- that is not what it means. the previous comments that were removed by flunk day planers is do the the fact that people were targeting individuals. that is inappropriate, find something better to do. <br />
<br />
^ YES. The [comment removed by flunk day [http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/23/flunkdayplaners.jpg Planers]] will not be ignored. The reason no Friars have been chosen is because the Friars are, in fact, the pack of [comment removed by flunk day [http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/23/flunkdayplaners.jpg Planers]].<br />
<br />
"[comment removed by flunk day [http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/23/flunkdayplaners.jpg Planers]] 10:53" WHAT IS THIS? It's obviously FLUNK DAYYYYYYY. <--- Gullibleeeee <--- /sarcasm<br />
<br />
Would Union Board actually put Flunk Day and Lincolnfest in the same week? NO. Because they hate happiness.<--- FALSE, Jil Gates is NEW, and her Motto is SPREAD THE JOY!!!<---CONFIRMED<--- Helmut is having an outdoor dinner for Lincoln Fest. He does this for Flunk Day as well... would he really wanna do that twice in the same week? Discuss<--- outdoor dinner is not that much more work/ oak room is closed, so about the same amount of work. What's it matter? FD food is SIMPLER than normal.<br />
<br />
<br />
Just received cup of rye chips with a note from God saying that tomorrow is Flunk Day. That's it, the deity is involved. <---CONFIRMED (God)<br />
<br />
11:50 TARDIS spotted at WalMart. This could be huge. Or a sign of the Apocalypse.<--Don't worry, the Doctor usually fixes those. <---And it's not Christmas.

<br />

<br />
11:55 Someone's raving outside like a drunken madman who took a few too many lines of cocaine off his sister's sweaty hooker back. This can only mean that it's Flunk Day, and that cuntcrumb needs to be hospitalized.<--- "Lucasss, shut uppp" lol <-- CONFIRMED (I can see him out my window) <--- He's still rampaging (12:02). It doesn't look like anyone can stop him. Where is Spider-man when you need him? <-- Cooking his yams<br />
<br />
11:54 Vampires rising from Standish Park. Hellmouth opening? Or Flunk Day??? <--- I'll call Sarah Michelle Gellar, you get the stakes. Xander, Dawn, stay here and do some research, find out what's causing this and how we can kill it. <--"I don't ''waaaanna''. It's not ''faaaaair''." (Dawn) <--"[Irrelevant wisecrack]" (Xander)<br />

My senior roommate is gone and she has a paper due tomorrow. Holy shit, you guys, I think this is legit.<--have you checked to make sure she isn't anywhere on campus like..founders? <-- Not unless she takes her tequila to Founders with her.

<br />
Note- Kathleen Drake DOES NOT know when flunk day is. However, Gordon Barratt does. <---- CONFIRMED. THIS COULD BE HUGE! Gordon Barratt CLAIMS he knows because he can see Union Board's budget. But all contracts signed by the school have the dates blacked out before posted anywhere (one year a freshman in the business office saw a flunk day contract and leaked the date), so there is no way he can know for sure. Gordon is also always full of shit.<---- Okay.... So MAYBE I tried to figure it out by calling the people that Union Board contracted and posing as an event [http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/23/flunkdayplaners.jpg Planer], and MAYBE those people emailed my name and number to Jil Gates before giving me a date, so MAYBE i don't know when flunk day is..... <----- Yep, that's what you'd call full of shit. <br />
<br />
Note- Kathleen Drake may not know....but Cindy Wickliffe does.<br />
<br />
Golf wang hooligans is fucking up your school again <---- oh hey matt <---- nah, it's EARL <----- you mean Thebe? i didn't realize Samoa was hooked into the intwerweb...<--- i heard sweatshirt's making a flunk day appearance<br />

<br />
<br />
00:28 Charlie "the infiltrating kitty cat" Parker marched into Jon Pierce-Ruhland's and Danny Sands' apartment. This serves as definite confirmation that Flunk Day is upon us!<br />
<br />
00:41 Abbye Garcia, Amelia Garcia's sister, had a dream about Slenderman. FLUNK DAY, BITCHES!<br />
<br />
00:45 Tyler, the Creator confirmed for Flunk Day morning concert. Also, Earl has been freed from the Samoans. All's well. OFWGKTADGAF <----CONFIRMED. THIS COULD BE HUGE.<br />

Friarrr emaillz <--- Real? <---- '''CONFIRMED!!!!'''<---- SUPER REAL! CONFIRMED WITH DOUBLE RAINBOWS! <--- Real and legit? Proof? <-- CONFIRMED! "planned activities" <-----FAKE FRIAR EMAILS <--- YOU'RE FAKE<----- Impersonating a school official. The e-mail was a good idea, but probably not the best idea to pretend to be debbie southern or anyone else that ya know...has power at the college<br />
<br />
Crowds in front of TKS office<br />

TRUCK JUST HEARD DRIVING PAST POST<br />
<br />
I can't trust any of you fools. This is Knox, cite your sources! <-- I agree with this, as a member of the Knox College Honor Board I'd like to remind everyone that since the Wiki Fire is partly funded by the school it falls under the Honor Code and that any IP linked to a fake or plagiarized source will be referred to the Honor Board. It is sad, but true, that the Board hears many cases every spring related to the wikifire. For more information please refer to the [http://www.knox.edu/documents/pdfs/honorbooklet.pdf Code] <- The Wiki Fire is not funded AT ALL by the school. Nice try. <- What's hilarious about both these posts is that EVEN IF the school funded the wikifire it wouldn't fall under the Honor Code because it's not academic work (posted by a real Honor Board member)<br />
<br />
Negative. Not tomorrow. I'm just as bummed as everyone else.<-- Confirmed buzzkill.<--- They aren't going to cancel McNair scholarship presentations along with "all day English Department prizes"<----- shut up <--- Enjoy class you drunk dickhead<br />
<br />
Actually this year the union board has become concerned with student grades. Therefore Flunk day has been re-named "don't flunk day". We will all be forced to study. All day. A pluses for everyone. <--CONFIRMED!<br />
<br />
Alex Kemper's dick says it's Flunk Day.<--- Alex doesn't have a dick <-- Confirmed. But he does look rather nice in a dress.<br />

<br />
3:04-- Spotted: all of your sucky sources<br />
<br />

<br />
4:24 AM, Campus safety came into Seymour dorms, walked into the common room, saw me, didn't say hello and hurried off out the exit door. Legit. <-- A Rosie Worthen comment. She always says legit.<---- Since when do I hang out in the Seymour dorm common room?<br />
4:47 AM Person seen exiting dining service office. Too far to make positive ID<br />
<br />
4:57AM is it really not flunk day? this is the saddest day of my life if not.<br />
<br />
All that for a shitty scare..... BLAME SECURITY <br />
<br />
FRIARS ARE OUT!<br />
<br />
<br />
quarter to five in the morning, friars in hamblin basement!!<br />
<br />
If those were Friars they sucked. Also Last year's Flunk Day confirmation e-mail came out at 5:52. Just as a note to keep a lookout for.<br />
<br />
My beautiful fish wants to know where the fucking e-mail is. FLUNK DAY!!!<br />
<br />
Not a scare. GO GO GO GO GO<br />
<br />
<br />
So this is a confirmed scare, then?<Katie Johnston says NO. IT IS FLUNK DAY PEOPLE.<--It's not. No email<br />
<br />
Seniors better be smarter 'bout their Flunk Scares. If the email generally goes out around 6, a Scare an hour before ain't gonna fool anybody.<---But friars are always out BEFORE the email. Sometimes right before and sometimes quite a bit before. It's different every year. There is no set plan. Just chill out and have fun!<br />
<br />
==Thursday, April 28==<br />
<br />
'''CONFIRMED: The Frair T-shirts have come in the mail, and Jil seemed stressed yesterday about having the shirts soon, which means that Flunk Day must be extremely close. Personally, Monday seems appropriate given the stress level that appeared on Jil's face. Also, it has been CONFIRMED that a final payment went through for rental equipment earlier this week. Hopefully, they will have the trampoline bounce cord thing again! Flunk Day is upon us. Monday is my guess...'''<br />
<br />
<br />
The softball double header was cancelled for the 28th<br />
There will be golfers golfing on this day, but the planners don't seem to really care about golf too much.<br />
<< NO ONE cares about golf ... just sayin'<br />
<br />
Today, (april 14) Helmut said that he does not know the date of flunk day, and that they will only inform him of the date two weeks before. Therefore flunk day must be on or after april 28. It is possible that helmut was just messing with me.<br />
<br />
Prof. Denial moved Hist 281 homework due date back to next week because of research reasons...<----- She gave us two extra days on the last paper.<---- Okay, valid point. <br />
<br />
<br />
Inside information from the sports information desk says that if a possible "date" were to be selected for flunk day, "I would bet all my money on April 28th"<br />
<br />
It's only been three years since they fucked over the golf team—why not do it again?!<br />
Because now we like the Golf team, two years ago it was filled with ass hole super douche bags that NOBODY liked. Let's not screw them again and let's all be thankful that those guys are GONE. <br />
<br />
It's Flunk Day [http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/23/flunkdayplaners.jpg Planer]Britt Anderson's birthday today! Hmmm... It's definitely on Britt's birthday. FLUNK DAY IS THURSDAY!<br />
<br />
Britt seemed especially stressed and worried about this week. She claims to have two "midterms". Two of her classes don't have midterms. Clearly a front. <-- Yes they do! One's on Friday! <-- That accounts for ONE midterm, when is the other?<br />
<br />
Meow. .<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Jil Gates spotted late to lunch due to a "phone call"...suspicious?'''<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Avery Wigglesworth email has an "if Flunk Day is tomorrow" clause in her rehearsal report. EVERYONE GO SEE PHAEDRA'S LOVE.<br />
<br />
There was another food truck in the Seymour loading dock today. (CONFIRMED! 9:00 AM (ish)) Food deliveries 2 days in a row? Seems awfully suspicious.<br />
<br />
Flunk Day fact vs. myth email sent out. Could today be the day!?<----- No, freshman are stupid<br />
<br />
Since Flunk Day is always tomorrow, and it wasn't Flunk Day on Wednesday, then Flunk Day is on Thursday! MY LOGIC IS FLAWLESS.<br />
<br />
<br />
So Softball tomorrow huh? Guess not! [[http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/222266_167952016596658_100001455822964_397582_5324923_n.jpg]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Myth vs. Fact email sent Wednesday, April 27th: "Thought Flunk Day would be today eh? Don’t worry- so did we!" What does THAT mean? Why wasn't it? WHY WASN'T IT?<br />
<br />
Lincoln Fest = No Flunk Day. This is a good thing peeps. It'll be next week. <--- Next Monday! Throwing ERRYBODY OFF <br />
Or LINCOLN FEST = FLUNK DAY. They've scheduled concerts before and had them as part of the flunk day schedule!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Its clearly not going to be '''Flunk Day''' tomorrow. However, someone just opened a beer '''again''', ''just in case.''<br />
<br />
3:30pm As I left SMC, Henry from the caf was wheeling in a cart of snacks. I overheard him asking a newer caf worker if he had seen the Flunk Day food yet.<--- This food was for the McNair presentations. I know, but they were ''talking'' about the flunk day food.<br />
<br />
Dance performance Thursday night, as part of the residency...would that have been planned before the FD date selection? <--- Departments are only allowed to give the FDPs so many dates and Dance chose CW (last week's show) over the residency. It would suck for them, but tomorrow COULD be Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
See how dead the wikifire is at 9:03 pm on a Wednesday evening? That's because senior meeting starts soon. Many underage students were issued tickets last week when there were too many youngins around. Now who is bold enough to come to Senior meeting underage? This is going to serve as a way to designate friars at senior meeting, with no risk of pesky underage kids finding out about the flunkage. Don't believe me? The flunk day [http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/23/flunkdayplaners.jpg Planer]s have you fooled, then.<--Who cares?<---- No one. <---No Flunk Day after Senior Meeting. Too many drunk seniors <-- flunk day after senior meeting has happened in the past, so it is possible.<br />
<br />
<br />
I just had sex with my girlfriend, so thursday must be flunk day <- CONFIRMED.<------ Sex doesn't equal Flunk. <--- This could be huge!!! <-- Or was he? <-- It was actually incredibly small, I had to bust out my microscope, kinda awkward<br />
<br />
According to Andy Civettini's analysis of Flunk Day data, Flunk Day has a 500,000,000% chance of occurring today. <- CONFIRMED. <- IT IS SCIENCE. <--- Actually a 500,000,001% chance of occurring today, get it right. Jeez.<br />
<br />
12:40AM Really? No one is posting? Come on. Entertain me. <--You are forced to die of boredom<br />
<br />
Hmm....This could be suspicious, no one thinks its flunk day. Might be flunk day......<br />
<br />
<br />
Dining lights on. 2:34 AM<br />
<br />
Well well well. looks like today could be huge. Nobody seems to suspect a thing. Also it's Britt Anderson's birthday <---- CONFIRMED.. must be FLUNK day. and a cold one at that. <br />
<br />
It's quiet outside..but what's that i hear? the flunk approaching? THIS COULD BE HUGE.<br />
<br />
The flunk day food arrived last Wednesday as detailed by a dining services worker. They can't keep that shit for more than a week or two. It's not frozen like the fucking caf food. knox is trying to kill us all? NO it's all good, bc today. today could be flunk day.<br />
<br />
'''Several MYSTERIOUS rescheduling emails sent out today to many people... WHAT DOES IT MEAN??'''<----- Um..... That Jil can not meet that day and would like to meet another day??? duh, i thought you had a knox education?<--- lol, way to get in the spirit. You a Freshie? It's obviously supposed to Flunk with our minds. Either there is a legit conflict, or she wants us to BELIEVE there is a legit conflict.<br />

==Friday, April 29==<br />
<br />
Thoughts on Friday:<br />
-There's a new Dean. Thus, new ideas are possible.<br />
<br />
-The caf definitely has the flunk menu, the list of food that they have to keep on hand for flunk day. I have personally verified this.<< personally verifying anything means jack shit on an anyonymous posting site [ex. I have personally verfied that (insert name here) has a footlong penis]. sooo... pix or it didn't happen.<br />
<br />
-Flunk Day is never, ever, ever on a Friday, so it would shock the flunk out of everyone if it WERE.<--- FALSE, it has been on a Friday ONCE in the last 23 years.<br />
<br />
-The theme is all about the impossible becoming possible.<br />
<br />
-Lincoln Fest. It's already going to be a party tomorrow, why not add flunk day?<br />
<br />
-Potentially, a Friday flunk day could be less disruptive, since no one will be skipping class on a Saturday.<--- And everyone will end up in the hospital from 2 days of solid drinking.<br />
<br />
-Roger Taylor's last year? Whether he's in on it or not, Flunk Day planners will want to make this year extra special.<br />
<br />
Yeah, and the Royal Wedding is on Friday! What what! <-- I will be awake at 4 am anyway to watch this, so I'll let you all know if Flunk Day happens. <---Me tooooo!! It's gonna be bomb.<br />
<br />
<br />
SINCE NO ONE REALLY THINKS IT IS GOING TO BE FLUNK DAY TODAY, AND CONSEQUENTLY NO ONE WILL FEEL LIKE LOOKING UP THE RECENT RUMORS, WHY NOT JUST REVEAL THAT '''FLUNK DAY IS IN 4 HOURS'''? - GUESS AT 6 AM EVERYONE WILL KNOW WHAT MAGIC WE WERE TALKING ABOUT...<br />
<br />
3:40am No sign of anything unusual at this point. Mailboxes are still visible and not stuffed. Very little activity.<br />
<br />

'''THE FLUNK DAY THEME SONG HAS BEEN RELEASED! ITS GOTTA BE FLUNK DAY'''! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I55wNvbQQAk&feature=channel_video_title <--- this is making me seriously consider transferring schools. I'm embarrassed by it... (Do it, cmon peer pressure!)<---obviously whoever wrote this is a huge tool and will probably be staying in their room on flunk day but really I wish I was chilling with them.<---CONFIRMED. .<---DOUBLE CONFIRMED<---TRIPLE CONFIRMED--- confirmed loser nerds with no social skills or redeeming qualities talking crap on the internet anonymously.. CONFIRMED<----DOUBLE CONFIRMED<--- This song makes me want to dunk my head in a toilet bowl<---- I want to watch porn all day for flunk day because of this song This song makes me want to dance naked and run around, i'll be flunking in the mudput all day tomorrow #dirtygirl <-- You might be retarded.... Vegetarians close your eyes cuz we just went HAM OMG its like a joke on vegetarians and means HARD AS A MOTHER fUC***---- Confirmed <br />
<br />
Sam Martone said flunk day will be this day. <-- Sam Martone also sucks, and is full of shit frequently <-- CONFIRMED <--NOT DOUBLE CONFIRMED You wish you could all be as baller as him. Plus he planned some of the best parties this campus had all year <-- Debatable<br />
<br />
Monthly faculty meeting moved from today to May 9th. THIS COULD BE HUGE... no. it is rarely on a monday. at least unlikely... <---- according to a stastical analysis of 20 Years of Flunk days Monday is 24% of Flunk Days It was a Monday last year. <--- It is highly unlikely that they will have Flunk Day on two Mondays in a row. Highly unlikely. <--- Monday May 2nd equals Flunk Day. Bitches <-- they could do it Monday just to throw people off. <--Has anyone actually confirmed that the faculty meeting moved?<-- Does it matter?<br />
<br />
May Faculty meeting rescheduled from the 2nd to the 9th! Faculty say a sketchy reason was given. <== Roger rescheduled the meeting, and he doesn't know when Flunk Day is. The faculty meeting is irrelevant. <-- Silly freshmen, of COURSE Roger knows when Flunk Day is. A professor apparently told a student that it was rescheduled because "both the President and the Dean will be out of town." Hmmmm... sketchy indeed..<br />
<br />
Calendar is clear on this day.<br />
<br />
According to Andy Civettini's analysis of Flunk Day data, Flunk Day has a 51% chance of occurring this week.<br />
<br />
Senior class speaker scheduled this evening. Seniors obviously do not care if there speaker meeting is rescheduled. TODAY MUST BE FLUNK DAY <-----I heard this meeting is not real. The real senior speaker meeting is the following week. <-- False, but it was scheduled just last week, so obviously it doesn't prevent Flunk Day.<-- OR its just a way of gathering you all as Friars, which means that FLUNK DAY IS TUESDAY!<-- If it were a way of gathering Friars, there would be all of 2 Friars. So far we have 0 speakers. lmfao (please no. Lets not have a bunch of alcohol in everyones blood for wednesday's blood drive) <---There are now three people signed up to be speakers...<br />
<br />
The caf apparently has a huge shipment of flunk day food as confirmed by a Gizmo worker. Tomorrow is Flunk Day people!!! <-CONFIRMED <--DOUBLE CONFIRMED<br />

Also, the entire Office of Student Development has computer training Tuesday-Friday of next week. They're bringing people down from Chicago to do this, so unless the staff member I talked to was just screwing with me, it's going to be Monday. <-- I heard that they originally had the training scheduled till thurs but had to extend it to fri at the last minute...I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE ANYMORE!<br />
<br />
12pm Saturday April 30 -- A truck driver asks two students crossing Cherry Street from GDH where the caf is. When questioned, truck driver reveals that they've never delivered to Knox before. Guessing they don't deliver on Sundays... <-I was just working in the caf, there was no delivery today between noon and 2 <- So they were being extra sneaky.<-- Not too sneaky. I was walking to work at 12:30 and saw the truck unloading. Someone is lyinggg...<br />

<br />
<br />
Timmi Schmeling threatened to play trombone outside Gretta Reed's window tomorrow (after Alicia Niles rudely informed him where Gretta lives), when asked if he was messing with her, gave a sly look and said "I don't know, am I?!"

Greek Philosophy is canceled tomorrow... of course, it's canceled all week. Week long flunk day?

2:00am: and we're back! what're the updates?!?!<br />

Anyway, the workers wont know for around two more hours, and they'll tell the cooks first <-- The Gizmo workers get to know the night before but why would the Gizmo lights be on? It's not like the Gizmo is open on Flunk Day! <--- Do they actually turn them off ordinarily?<br />
<br />
Silly Fresh Meat should be paying more attention to the lights on over the buffet in the Cafe and the lights that are on in the back room section of the kitchen, visible from the Oak Room doors...<--- ppl need to be callin and locatin seniors! only true way to find out if it's flunk day...<--- False. Last year they didn't take the Seniors.<br />
<br />
Mail room anybody??? Just snuck down there and there was a sign asking Knox students to not observe mailroom activities on May 2nd. Lights were on.<--- Saw the sign, its probably fake though. Putting up a sign saying not to do something guarantees it's going to be done.<br />

3:19 am: Here's a little hope. I was driving around to go get some food because in the case that today is not Flunk Day I have a buttload of reading to do and I saw a truck with a long bed? with long tarps all over it. It was driving down in front of TKE/Beta when I saw it. It was headed in the direction towards GDH... 15 minutes later as I was driving out of Steak N Shake I saw the same truck with the same long bed? and tarps, but going down Henderson towards Target/Sandburg Mall. I'm crossing my fingers. Sorry if this leads to nothing, but it did seem like an odd occurrence. Also, if anyone is watching the Seymour Loading dock, the lights are on and there have been several cars in and out... sp0o0o0o0ky<br />
<br />
3:23 am: At teh quick-sams, the black dude was quick to shoot down the notion of today being teh flunks. Sam '''''himself''''' placed a bet on tuesday. Both dudes have been reliable in the past. A++++ would ask again. <--- confirmed. black dude says that today is a no - go. but he would not make eye contact. <---why would they know?<br />
<br />
Student Senate lights off at 3:48 am. im thinking monday is off. or on. depending on your pov.<br />

<br />
4:51 On my way to Founders, heard 3 people talking about moving things in the back by Seymour loading docks. However, checked the mail room and saw no conclusive evidence of stuffed mailboxes. Still uncertain?<br />
<br />
5:05 SMC facilities say that it's Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
5:10 lights seen on in the cafeteria. not a great sign.<br />
<br />
5:10 Lights on in mailroom. The day has arrived. Gather your armies. Grab your goblets. Attack!!!! <--- LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS ON DWEEB <-- My diagnosis is retard.<br />
<br />
5:20 ohhhh shit Tubercky has been spotted shaving! START FLUNKING PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
5:23 Britt and Martha seen walking across Hamblin parking lot! <--- CONFIRM THIS. I WILL NOT DRINK TIL CONFIRMED <-CONFIRMED THAT WHEN I SEE BRITT I GET HUGE.<br />
<br />
5:30 mailroom lights on and people stuffing boxes<br />
<br />
5:30 there's a bunch of people crowded outside in front of hamblin!<br />
<br />
Just called campus safety, and they said "uhhhhh check your email, if there is then it is. iuuhhhh just check your email." They are well known to say no when it is not flunk day. Commence getting plastered.--> Confirmed, I just called and they used the same script.<br />
<br />
5:44 Seniors in the mudpit! FLUNK DAY!111<-- lies<br />
<br />
5:55 AM No email and hotline says 0 Flunk. Suspicious faculty by mud pit. Friars too drunk to make any noise?<br />
<br />
5:58 Fac Staff list got an email about Flunk Day mail room procedures. It's FLUNK DAY, BITCHES!!!<br />
<br />
Flunk day is over, go to bed.<br />
<br />
Confirmed- Best Flunk Day EVER!!!!<-- Not at all. But a good Flunk.<br />
<br />
==Tuesday, May 3==<br />
Gale Scholars are being inducted this day so it is very very unlikely for flunk day to be tuesday. Nobody is going to mess with the Gale Scholars, they are in Jr. High. So unless it is a lie that the Gale Scholars are going to be there, no flunk day.<br />
<br />
Kathleen Drake canceled meetings on this day due to "computer training"....<---Kathleen told students about this. The Campus Life office never uses the software anyways. <br />
<br />
What, it's not like they've never seen someone shitfaced. And if they haven't, it's an important part of an education. Clearly the Flunk Day Planners are trying to throw us off the scent. May 3rd is Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
Further, the Gale House is off-campus on North St. Well away from our muddy carnage. Martha's lies continue.<br />
<br />
<br />
Don’t listen to this, I know for sure it isn’t this coming tuesday. -> This coming Tuesday is April 25th.<br />
<br />
Brad Gregory, custodial manager, heard telling other staff that Wednesday is going to be a big pain in the ass! <-- I work for the janitors and i asked for extra hours for tuesday, they said they don't need anybody. They are completely understaffed!!! Flunk day for sure! <--- I want confirmation on this.<br />
<br />
Flunk Day 2008--Thursday Flunk Day 2009--Wednesday Flunk Day 2010--Monday It's time for a Tuesday Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
Discount Liquor is out of maddog. Must be Flunk DAY. <br />
<br />
Betas and Fijis seen buying alcohol at walmart. Must Be Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
James is seen hanging out with the Betas. Must be Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
<br />
MAIL ROOM ANYBODY??<br />
<br />
==Wednesday, May 4==<br />
APO's Blood Drive is on this day. Last year's Spring drive was on Flunk Day, therefore it must be the 4th! Also, 2009 and 2010 Flunk Days were ON the listed day for this Blood Drive... some girl that was in class of 2010 was flippin' shit on the bus home from the Art Field trip because of it. -->> APO's Blood Drive 2011 has NOT been cancelled and will NOT be rescheduled from the original date of May 4th unless May 4th is Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
The Dan Savage event is on this day. Why would Shag bring Dan Savage two years in a row? Someone said if events aren't sent into Student life before like March, they can't be considered to be saved from Flunk day. A. Is this true? B. When was this event scheduled? PLEASE RESPOND!!!! COULD BE HUGE!!! --> Yes, this is true, and I'm pretty sure they decided on bringing in Dan Savage waaaaay after the day for Flunk Day had been picked...-->> They sent out the survey to bring him over SPRING BREAK. How was his schedule free on such short notice?<br />
<br />
^this is obviously an elaborate ploy by Gabe Paz to get belligerently drunk with Dan Savage.<---CONFIRMED! <--This could be HUGE!<--CONFIRMED! Just spoke to a very drunk Gabe Paz in the Rog Lodge! <br />
<br />
They paid over $10,000 to bring him. Flunk Day is not May 4.--->>Or maybe he's just the evening entertainment.<----- Union Board scheduled Dan Savage wayyyy after flunk day was picked. Reportedly a business club member was upset at something about the Dan Savage event. Apparently this is in the working to be rescheduled...---> FALSE! Roger is the biggest donor to the event today is not flunk day--> Roger doesn't know when Flunk Day is so it doesn't matter! shag would get pissed --->Yeah, it would be unfortunate, but considering Flunk Day was planned before SHAG decided to bring Dan Savage in, it's not like they can do anything about it and it's not the Flunk day planners' faults.--->Roger donated before SHAG picked the date<br />
<br />
One of the Lincoln Fest artists said they talked with "inside sources." Thursday was confirmed. They were wearing last years Flunk Day shirt when they told me! This could be HUGE!!!<br />
<br />
==Thursday, May 5==<br />
'''Everyone's hoping for this day.''' <-- Confirmed. <-- Double Confirmed.<br />
<br />
since flunk day last year was so cold, the [http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/23/flunkdayplaners.jpg Planers] might plan it even later to ensure warmth. May 5th is always warm. IT'S SCIENCE.<br />
<br />
A Cinco de Mayo Flunk Day? yeah right. YEAH! RIGHT?<br />
<br />
El dia de flunk returns!!!!1<br />
<br />
CINCO DE DRINK-O! There is nothing real on the calendar. Today is Flunk day. <------ seriously. There is NOTHING on Thursday. <--- THIS COULD BE HUGE! <br />
<br />
There are a significant number of alums visiting on this day.---> didn't alums show up to last years flunk day? <--alums ALWAYS show up, and sometimes they know loooong before depending on how gossipy the [http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/23/flunkdayplaners.jpg Planers] are, get with it!<br />
<br />
'''Jil Gates sent out emails rescheduling all meetings she has today. Misinformation or n00b mistake? You decide.''' <--- misinformation, obviously<---Or purposeful information given KNOWING we would not believe it?<br />
<br />
At Women's Chorale rehearsal, when discussing back-up rehearsal days in case Flunk Day is Thursday (since we rehearse on Thursdays), Flunk Day Planner Martha Baumgarten spoke up, and suggested we move our rehearsal to Friday. A seemingly normal response, except that it came from her, out of everyone in the room. <---CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
FLUNK IS MAY 5th! Found out from one of [http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/23/flunkdayplaners.jpg Planers]!... Done deal start getting excited knox!<--- LIES, obvious ploy.<br />
<br />
It's supposed to thunderstorm Thursday. Wouldn't that be unfortunate! <-- A 1 rental company from Moline confirmed they are setting up a tent Thursday morning- 6am! TODAY is the DAY!!!<br />
<br />
==Wednesday, May 11==<br />
Exit the King opens on this day.<br />
<br />
It must be Flunk Day. Instead of a monarchy, we have a democracy; thus, instead of a king we have a president; thus, king = equivalent of president. ROGER TAYLOR IS RETIRING, thus, Exit the King = Exit Roger Taylor; thus, Flunk Day = celebration of Roger Taylor, thus, FLUNK DAY IS TODAY! --> although these connections are powerful and thought-provoking, Flunk day will not be this day. The theatre faculty entered these dates into the calender at the end of last year. Also, no flunking Thursday or Friday. Promise. <br />
<br />
There is also a Dining Etiquette Class on this day, and Terrie Saline told me she didn't want it to happen then. -->> OH MAN NOT DINING ETIQUETTE!! -->> i would gladly trade a lifetime of dining etiquette perfection for one flunk day. o the power and the glory.<br />
<br />
Always the best content from these prodigious wertirs.<br />
<br />
==Flunk Day T-Shirts==<br />
<br />
This is an odd thing this year. Would the planners really be stupid enough to wait to distribute the t-shirts until the day of? I doubt.<--I heard purchased shirts will be stuffed in one's mailbox.<br />
<br />
Slam dunkin like Shaquille O'Neal, if he wrote informatvie articles.<br />

<br />
-'''This just in''': FLUNK DAY FRIARS ARE BEING PICKED THROUGH A GAME OF ASSASSINS!!!<br />
<br />
===March 25===<br />
<br />
Sam Martone announces that he will act as a mercenary/spy for seniors who desire assistance during the Assassins game.<br />
<br />
===March 26=== <br />
<br />
Tenured Professor of Economics, Jonathan Powers, asserted that Flunk Day ''IS'' tomorrow, Saturday, March 27th.<br />
<br />
===March 30===<br />
<br />
FLUNK DAY FRIARS ARE OFFICIALLY NOT BEING PICKED BY A GAME OF ASSASSINS BECAUSE KNOX COLLEGE NO LONGER ENJOYS FUN OR THINGS THAT ARE FUN. Are the Flunk Day Gods listening? Ginny Graves tells anonymous student that friars will now be picked through a large game of bingo. Hit your grandparents up for strategies people. It is on!<br />
<br />
===March 31===<br />
<br />
Many students are confused and lost now that their Master of Flunk has been dismissed. Now there will be no riding around in the Gator handing out condoms and being reprimanded by Roger again. <br />
<br />
--> Simultaneously, the upperclassmen are throwing parties to celebrate the dismissal.<br />
<br />
--> Simultaneously, the sophomores are confused as to why people are so mean.<br />
<br />
--> Simultaneously, the first-years are confused as to what exactly Flunk Day is and who the Flunk Master is. They decide to start investing in the "Flunk Day stash" the upperclassmen were talking about, not sure if this really means alcohol, drugs, or party blowers. <---All of the above. This is important.<br />
<br />
==April==<br />
===April 1===<br />
<br />
*4AM<br />
Students are emailed about being a part of Flunk Day and to remain secret.<--Friars? This could be huge!<br />
<br />
*8AM<br />
Students are turned away from Campus Life only to realize they just got mega pranked!!! HAPPY APRIL FOOLS!!!!!!!!! and congratulations and fuck all those who orchestrated this prank!<br />
<br />
===April 5===<br />
<br />
*2PM<br />
In a stunning turn of events, the Flunk Day e-mail consists of [[Roger Taylor]] announcing his resignation. A new tradition is born.<br />
<br />
*10PM<br />
Suspicious vehicles spotted in Dick Blick parking lot.<br />
<br />
*11PM<br />
A bright flash of light is seen coming from the Northwest.<br />
<br />
===April 6===<br />
<br />
*5 AM<br />
Some people yell that it is Flunk Day. Unfortunately, they start out in Hamblin and the upperclassmen only grumble. We all go back to sleep. <br />
<br />
===April 7/Flunk Day Review=== <br />
<br />
- Flunk Day is Tomorrow.<br />
<br />
- Don't assume that all events on the calenders actually exist. In one case a few years ago, the boy's baseball team was away at a game when Flunk Day occurred. <br />
<br />
- Don't rely on the forecast. Rain just helps in the making of the mud pit. :)<br />
<br />
- Don't believe any of the upperclassmen. Ever.<br />
<br />
- Don't believe any of the faculty. Ever.<br />
<br />
- Just because the caf is baking a lot of cookies does not mean Flunk Day is tomorrow.<br />
<br />
- It is also not necessarily Flunk Day if the grass has just been mowed. <br />
<br />
- Large trailers spotted at random businesses around town does not mean they are blow-up carnival rides.<br />
<br />
- Flunk Day will not be on a Friday. Too many people would end up in the hospital from non-stop partying. '''OH YEAH!'''<br />
<br />
- The Flunk Day planners will not give you clues as to when the actual day is.<br />
<br />
- Everything they (the Flunk Day planners) say and do may just be screwing with you. Always keep that in mind.<br />
<br />
- Here is also a map from last year's Flunk Day that we can update this year:<br />
<br />
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&ll=40.944266,-90.371604&spn=0.011556,0.019312&t=h&z=16&msid=104372344600731454677.000468cb51e605ff87df2<br />
<br />
Notable sightings would include Helmut leaving the caf at odd hours of the morning, etc.<br />
<br />
-This morning was a very large and well organized and very loud Flunk Day scare. They had sirens, pots and pans, and at least twenty participants, one of whom screamed, "YOU WON'T CATCH ME ALIVE!" as he ran away. This was a very stupid scare for everyone except the Freshmen and Freshwomen considering a.) the safety e-mail hasn't been sent out yet b.) IT'S THE SECOND WEEK OF APRIL, HARDLY.<br />
<br />
-Flunk Day will be April 29th. The powers that be have spoken.<br />
<br />
===April 9th===<br />
<br />
'''WHY IT IS'''<br />
-On Friday, I overheard something in the Campus Life Office about "this being the big week". Jenn looked super busy and the Flunk Day planners were seen leaving the office carrying a box and a bag. Also, we Facebooked a few of the admissions visitors that were scheduled to come early this week and we think that at least one of them is a completely made up person. Flunk Day IS THIS WEEK!<br />
<br />
'''WHY IT ISN'T<br />
-This week is a big week because the drafts of club budget requests are due and it's the housing lottery, so of course Campus Life is busy this week. Also, I believe Craig Southern would kill someone if housing lottery was messed up. Flunk Day is NOT THIS WEEK!<br />
<br />
===April 13th===<br />
<br />
-Flunk Day email sent out, Flunk Day is tomorrow! And if not, senior meeting at Buffalo Wild Wings, so it will be a good night.<br />
<br />
-Has anyone noticed that there are no significant campus events going on on Earth Day like there usually are? Flunk Day?? <--There actually are! <br />
<br />
-START DIGGING THE MUD PIT <br />
<br />
===April 14th===<br />
<br />
3:56 am- The double doors in the hallway of Seymour are open suspiciously early. The light is on in the mail room. I don't know if that particular clue is actually indicative of anything, but I've heard it is.<br />
<br />
-It definitely, definitely is! Lights are on in mailroom and dining services.<br />
<br />
-Clearly, Today is Flunk Day, start drinkin'!<br />
<br />
-It's a scare <--you're a scare. CAN'T STOP US!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
-Flunk Day is Definitely Tomorrow!<br />
<br />
===April 15th===<br />
<br />
-Although people are suggesting things to the contrary: Flunk Day will NOT be Thursday, April 15th. This is the day of the Joe W. Morgan lecture, which is a HUGE deal and they have an editor from Rolling Stone coming, who has spoken on the phone with individual students and talked about her visit and what she's going to talk about while here. Plus they made reservations for her for dinner.<br />
<br />
-In response to the post above...Flunk Day can be placed on the same day as a huge event if it was not scheduled WAY in advance. It has happened before. Look back, Flunk Day almost always is placed during SOMETHING on campus. I still would not rule Wednesday or Thursday out.<br />
<br />
12:04am: Group of Conger/Neal residents begin digging of mud pit. <br />
<br />
-Also...shipping the seniors off to Buffalo Wild Wings seems innocent enough...or does it? Hmm, maybe a clever way to round up friars?<br />
<br />
-They ''just'' decided how they're going to PICK friars. Flunk Day is in May.<br />
<br />
-Poor naive little Underclassmen. Aside from the fact that Flunk Day is Tomorrow, there is no supporting evidence for anything yet. You need to get better at this.<br />
<br />
-Also Conger/Neal, don't fuck it up. And whatever you do, don't use the tiller that SNU has...<br />
<br />
2:05am: Xavier Romano seen at Beta incident with 7 cop cars, 2 firetrucks and his Flunk Day hat in hand. Continue digging the mud pit!<br />
<br />
2:37am: Xavier being seen on campus is not true. I am one of the select few who has direct access to "The Raptor!" Alas, no Raptors at KC for el dia de Flunk forever :(<br />
<br />
-The "mud pit" looks like a giant Cheerio made of shit. The middle section of hardened dirt and topsoil needs to be broken up and moved out of the way. An easy way to do this is by using a tiller. It looks like you went at it with a trowel. Your first attempt = Failed.<br />
<br />
-Flunk Day TKS is printed (Flunk Day next week!)<br />
<br />
===April 16===<br />
<br />
-This will not be Flunk Day. It also needs to be defined what a "scare" is. A scare is not shouting it's Flunk Day at night. A scare is a well ordered conspiracy where you mislead a large amount of the student body so that they believe it's Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
1:42am: The people shouting in the quads need to do two things: learn to read, and then read the definition of a scare and the history of epic scares.<br />
<br />
-Why are you so bitter? How about instead of complaining on the WikiFire, you get your ass out of bed and join the scare? You're so boring!<br />
<br />
===April 18===<br />
<br />
FLUNK DAY ANGER!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
COMPLAINCOMPLAINCOMPLAINCOMPLAINCOMPLAIN<br />
<br />
FLUNK YOU!<br />
<br />
Haven't you realized by now that Flunk Day doesn't exist?<br />
<br />
===April 19===<br />
<br />
-Was not Flunk Day, despite all of the solid evidence that follows. A group of rowdy gentlemen informed the quads of this at around 7:30 A.M. '''See more below: April 24/Rowdy Gentlemen Who Scream "It's not Flunk Day" @ 730 AM'''<br />
<br />
-Why is this day being neglected? No one is suspecting, thus it is the perfect plan. Is Flunk Day today? <br />
<br />
-Probably won't be Flunk Day today because of housing lottery? And what about Phoneathon? And they haven't even sent the second email (The Fact/Myth email) out yet!<br />
<br />
-Silly underclassmen, the Fact/Myth email is not an every year thing. Once that first email happens...it's on. ALSO, Flunk Day was on housing lottery before...it is just another way of screwing with us. <br />
<br />
-Flunk Day is not today there is a guest speaker planned tonight Doug McAdam, but I would expect a scare at least. Also coincidence, I think not, HyVee put up decorations in the store that are remarkably themed to match Flunk on the Beach. All I can say is the shark, fish, and whale balloons are epic and a clear sign Flunk Day is on our doorstep.<br />
<br />
-Roger Taylor said they are looking at Flunk Day in a new light this year. A safer one. <--Well this is it, today was Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
6:45pm: Golf cart seen roaming Knox's campus. Persons talking w/ Ginny and Britt (Flunk Day planners). Tomorrow is surely Flunk Day. Get your stashes ready!<br />
<br />
9:48pm: Confirmed: all four Flunk Day Planners shopping at Wal-Mart right now!<br />
<br />
10:25pm: Lights on in the Union Board office.<br />
<br />
11:02pm: Talked to Xavier, and asked if it was Flunk Day and he said, "He would not be making any trips to Knox tomorrow."<br />
<br />
11:05pm: Ten well known seniors' phones are turned off, including Ginny Graves.<br />
<br />
11:10pm: LIES!<br />
<br />
11:12pm: Environmental Studies candidate lunch and lecture CANCELLED!<br />
<br />
11:30pm: [[Pam Schuller]] has been cited at Knox again! Flunk Day is definitely tomorrow !<br />
<br />
11:47pm: [[Erica Jaffe]] and [[Michael Sales]] spotted near the Gizmo. <--Michael Sales is in Maine, nice try!<br />
<br />
11:50pm: Alumni member of the President's Circle gets email saying that Flunk Day is tomorrow! <--This is legit, I've seen it! Unless it's an awesomely orchestrated prank! '''See President's Circular Email Prank Below.'''<br />
<br />
12:22am: SEAN FORS IS MISSING. IT MUST BE FLUNK DAY.<br />
<br />
-Has no one noticed the blatantly scheduled home baseball game for tomorrow?!?! <-- fake home game was scheduled on FD in 2006. <--ok, but golf is gone to MO as well; both of these teams have been screwed over in the Seniors' Knox lifetimes, would they really do that again!?! <--yes. <--well, the game is on the website (http://www.robertmorris.edu/athletics/mensbaseball/springfield/schedule/).<br />
<br />
-...better get that mudpit ready. '''This could be HUGE!'''<br />
<br />
-*sniff sniff* I smell a scare. '''This could be HUGE!'''<br />
<br />
-THEY MOWED THE SOUTH LAWN TODAY...MUST BE FLUNK DAY! <br />
<br />
-Posted on Ginny's Facebook wall: <br />
kathleen mary podlipni: very clever baker, but i am 75% sure tmrw is not flunk day<br />
molly anne: i don't think it is Flunk Day but I really really really hope it is not. I lack some necessary supplies.<br />
virginia baker: that's too bad. i guess you should have listened to jnef and i....<br />
<br />
Ginny confirming Flunk Day = Not Flunk Day also she is by her computer or using her IPhone meaning she IS NOT PHONELESS or INTERNET-LESS and it's NOT FLUNK DAY!<br />
<br />
===April 20===<br />
<br />
-Like having your birthday on Christmas, or possibly the best superholiday in history? Discuss.<br />
<br />
-It'd be pretty smart on the administration's part; kill two birds in one stone. There are far too many conflicts however: multiple home baseball games, dance residency, and Dan Peterman's talk. <--Talk cancelled and dance residency unimportant. <-- EXCUSE YOU. IT IS IMPORTANT. We've been screwed over 2 years in a row.<br />
<br />
-Naw, having your birthday on/around Christmas would suck. You get half the presents! So you get half the fun, you see...<br />
<br />
-Why is the Oak Room going to be closed for breakfast in the morning? Suspicious much?<br />
<br />
-Also, Andru Bemis is supposed to be performing today. Posters and a Facebook event have been up for a while. Proof it's not Flunk Day, or Flunk Day music??? <--DOES NOT MATTER! This was not organized before the Flunk Day calendar!<br />
<br />
-Lights on in the mailroom? '''THIS COULD BE HUGE!'''<br />
<br />
-Time for a Midnight Stroll.''' This could be HUGE!'''<br />
<br />
-Lights on in the mailroom AND kitchen. '''This could be SMALL!'''<br />
<br />
-Start Drinking!!!!!<br />
<br />
-Even if it ISN'T tomorrow, someone had best to start workin' on that mud pit. That shit is pitiful. <--AMEN!<br />
<br />
-Friars chosen, lost contact with my roomie. Get some sleep. BC TOMORROW's FLUNK DAAAAAAY!!!!!<br />
<br />
-At this rate, if Flunk Day isn't tomorrow, a damn epic scare better materialize or I'll be thoroughly disappointed.<br />
<br />
-2:55am Martha Baumgarten was seen in the union board office. FLUNK DAAAAAAAY... ALSO the lights in the caf & the GIZMO are on. WTFFFFF FLUNK DAY??!!!<br />
<br />
-Two suspicious trucks parked in Seymour loading docks. Both are occupied by men who are not security. Security is driving around in unmarked car. Lights in mail room still on (rumor is that there are always on) seniors who received txt message to meet at 5 am are not picking up their phones. What does it all mean?<br />
<br />
4:24am: TRAIN WHISTLE! Totally Flunk Day!!!<br />
<br />
4:34am: Oh yeah. TOTALLY Flunk Day!!! ABBY PARDICK PROMISED!!! If it is not flunk, blame said sr. <--She never promised shit. <--Even if Abby promised she's a senior SHE'S GOING TO LIE!!!!!!<br />
<br />
-ANOTHER TRAIN WHISTLE!!!<br />
<br />
5:50am: Was there even a scare in the Quads? Nothing by Williston/apts...<--Shit was heard by Townhouse residents. Get yo heads outta yo asses Williston and suck it!<br />
<br />
6:08am: It is determined that the class of 2010 sucks. <--Our class is still better than yours.<br />
<br />
'''Senior flunk scare member is chased valiantly by campus security, proving class of 2010's great scare pride and physical endurance.'''<br />
<br />
5:00pm: Oliwia Zurek spotted drunk at Kaldi's - it's either Flunk Day tomorrow or she just gave up on her honors project.<br />
<br />
11:05pm: Someone replaced the whole page with Happy Flunk Day, please don't do this as this page still serves to chronicle the hilariousness of all the scares and misinformation leading up to Flunk Day. <br />
<br />
===April 21===<br />
<br />
12:51am - I'm bored.<br />
<br />
1:16am - I have a paper due tomorrow.. I mean today.. I wish today is Flunk Day<br />
<br />
5:30am - Lights on in the Wilson House and Dining Services. Is that normal?<br />
<br />
===April 22===<br />
<br />
-The only thing scheduled for today is the dance residency. Last year they had Flunk Day on the day of the Blood Drive so I wouldn't put it past the planners to screw over the dancers.<br />
<br />
-It's admitted students day...and it's not fake. I know prospies who are coming and spending the night...no Flunk Day today. Next week!<--Admissions has been known to call prospective students and ask them to not come in the night before. <--The Knox Admissions Office, I know would NEVER do that. No Flunk Day this week. <--They HAVE done that. <--They've also made up prospective students before. You may think you're volunteering to host, but really that person doesn't exist!<br />
<br />
--It is the only day this week with NOTHING going on (no home games, no guest speakers, and dance residency has fallen on Flunk Day before)! <--Seriously, it's admitted students day. Students are coming to stay overnight on Thursday, since they aren't allowed here on the weekend. Students are coming from all over the U.S., they aren't going to just call up people the night before and ask them not to get on their plane. And too many individual prospies have verified with various students from Knox that they have connections to.<br />
<br />
-Is it actually an admitted students day or are prospies just randomly coming? Cause usually admitted student days are advertised on the calendar, and a notice that the oak room will not be open for lunch goes up. We have already had two admitted student days which is usually how many there are, and I don't see anything on the calendar or any oak room notices. Admissions doesn't know when it is Flunk Day till last minute and so they have had to cancel visits before, it sucks, but its not their choice.<br />
<br />
-Yes, it is an admitted student day on April 23rd. They have frequently advertised it to prospective students, the employees are hard at work scheduling and setting up for it, and they've spent tons of money getting ready for it. There is no way they would cancel it just to surprise us with Flunk day. It's been planned for over half a year in advance, too. If you want proof, check out the Oak Room schedule. http://www.knox.edu/dining/weeklyoak.aspx<br />
<br />
-April '''23'''rd is an Admitted Student Day... NOT April '''22'''nd!! OH SHIT!<br />
<br />
-But they're not stupid enough to have Flunk Day right before an open house. <--They've done it many times before, so this is a moot point. <--WHEN have they done it "many times before" and what constitutes "right before"? The day before? A few hours before? Remember, students who are coming in for the admitted students day are staying over night on THURSDAY...not Friday. Meaning they would be arriving during the day on Thursday, and during the day on...Flunk Day? I don't think so. <--They're not staying overnight. It's just an admitted student day. Can I give you exact years? No, but ask the Seniors 'cuz they know best. ''' It's gonna be HUGE'''. <--Yes, they are staying overnight in various dorms and in the admission suite, because it's admitted students day and since they can't stay over night on Friday, they come on Thursday, stay over night, do stuff on Friday, and then leave. So unless all of the prospies who have talked to individual students about coming on Friday (or Thursday) are all part of a big conspiracy, I'm guessing it's not going to be Flunk Day. <br />
<br />
-An alumnus reports his fave Knox memory is his FIVE flunk days, once as a prospie. Said alumnus is now a trustee. Roping in prospies with an extra Flunk Day with hopes for Alumni Hall?!<br />
<br />
-Something suspicious was overheard by a student working in Admissions... "The hotel rooms have been taken care of for tomorrow." Possible that the overnight students who are supposed to sleep over are staying in a hotel instead? Note: Families might stay in hotels, but Admissions doesn't plan that for them. <--In the C-store earlier tonight, when an overnight host asked an admissions student worker about details on her prospie, the student deflected the question with an abrupt and mysterious "I don't know. Don't worry about it." This person isn't usually taciturn...suspicious? I think VERY <--are you talking about Hayley? She was totally bullshitting. Flunk Day isn't tomorrow.<br />
<br />
-Ginny Graves sent notes to random people who did the Assassins game planning a "scare" for Wednesday night. Ginny is practically in charge of Flunk Day AND this is what they did last year... Planned a "scare" then it really was Flunk Day. It IS Flunk Day tomorrow.<br />
<br />
-Seniors are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to come out for Senior Meeting tonight... abduction?<br />
<br />
10:30pm: Flunk Day Planners Martha, Jenni and Ginny seen stress eating in the Gizmo. Britt Anderson was not eating--everyone knows she loves to eat--something's up.<br />
<br />
SPOTTED: JNef in Founders attempting to unzip her jacket to show off her "friar" t-shirt, but failing miserably while she and Ginny both proclaim that tomorrow is flunk day. (10:50pm) Shenanigans!<br />
<br />
10:52pm: Loud yelling heard coming from the [[betta]] house. Tomorrow is for sure Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
-All campus email about a new printer in GDH? TOTAL DEFLECTION! TOMORROW IS FLUNK DAY! <--SELF EDIT! Apparently it didn't go out to all of campus. It did, however, go out at 10:30 PM. Here's the email:<br />
<br />
Please join us in George Davis Hall on Earth Day, Thursday, 4/22 10:00am - 12:00pm and 1:00pm - 3:00pm to view new printer technology!<br />

September 2009<br />
Sheryl Nyman, Lab Manager <br />
<br />
-It's a printer. An email went out over a printer = NOT ANYTHING TO DO WITH FLUNK DAY!!! However, I think it's very awesome, Go Knox environmental friendliness!<br />
<br />
-WHAT THE FUCK DOES THIS MEEEEAAAAAN?!<br />
<br />
RIGHT NOW: People are drunk. Tomorrow is Flunk Day. <--People are always drunk, like [[Zak Khan]] so it doesn't mean it's Flunk Day... unless you live everyday of your life like it's Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
12:12am: Make a wish. Tomorrow will be Flunk Day with enough wishes.<--It's 11:11 when you make a wish. Lolz.<br />
<br />
-DIG mudpitters DIGG!! MUAHAHAHAHAAAA<br />
<br />
1:35am Can I haz Flunk Day?<br />
<br />
5:00am Martha Baumgarten and Britt Anderson (Flunk Day Planners) were spotted heading to Seymour...hmmmmmm.<br />
<br />
5:01am Security drove by mudpit.<br />
<br />
5:07am Security drove by mudpit again.<br />
<br />
5:58am Lame ass-scare wakes everyone up.<br />
<br />
-Maybe it's because I go to sleep at 4, but none of the scares have woken me up yet.<br />
<br />
11:37pm Random stars were drawn around campus sidewalks with the unusual number "73" written in them. <br />
<br />
11:45pm Group with guitar were roaming around campus singing.<br />
<br />
===April 21, 22, and 23===<br />
<br />
-Flunk day can't be this week; the college wouldn't risk their precious campus getting destroyed before admitted students day. <--Perhaps it's a fake admitted students day? <--Not possible. After all the calls students make about it? <--Remember last year when Flunk Day was on the day of the APO Blood Drive and APO had it all organized only for the planners to secretly cancel it behind their backs? It could happen again.<--Flunk Day will absolutely not be anytime before the admitted students day. It's neither fake nor the same kind of event as the blood drive. <--It won't happen ON admitted students day, but BEFORE is totally okay.<br />
<br />
-Flunk Day is not this week. The Admissions Office HATES knowing when Flunk Day is, and therefore, would not make their own lives harder by scheduling an entire fake admitted students day. Plus, there are at least 10-15 people staying overnight on Thursday. Thus, no Flunk Day that day. <br />
<br />
-'''This Just In''': ROGER TAYLOR SEEN WALKING AROUND CAMPUS WITH A CUPCAKE. FLUNK DAY IS TOMORROW.<br />
<br />
1:21am It's quiet, TOO QUIET.... tomorrow '''HAS TO BE IT.'''<br />
<br />
-Pie a Pi Phi has been postponed till the 26th, could this be FLUNK DAY? <-- No, that's just because it was raining and all the whipped cream would just be washed off our faces and then people would be said that their efforts to pie us came to nothing.<br />
<br />
===April 24/Rowdy Gentlemen Who Scream "It's Not Flunk Day!" @ 7:30 AM===<br />
<br />
According to sources close to the residents of Conger/Neal (who are tired of the rowdiness of the Rowdy Gentlemen AKA the SNUs who are currently residing or squatting at the SNU house) instigated a false alarm scare of their own today at around 6 am.<br />
<br />
One of the Conger/Nealians says a SNU emerged with a super soaker. Apparently this super soaker was empty. Womp, Womp.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
FLUNK DAY IS THE 2010 COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER<br />
<br />
Where did everything just go? Um confirmation that this is totally the day of FLUNK!? I think so.<br />
<br />
Nothing says Flunk Day can't be on a Monday. <-- Flunk day will probably not be a Monday, because then everyone would just keep partying through Tuesday. (Come on, how many people have Tuesday classes?) It is more likely that it'll be a Tuesday. <-- What about partying through Wednesday to Thursday then? The only fact is that Flunk Day will never be on a Friday...<--Thursdays are normally "lab" days. You can assume that anyone who is taking a class in SMC this term, will have class on a Thursday.<-- When Flunk Day falls on a Tuesday or Thursday, many people do not go to their W/F classes, so this is a moot point. In the end, classes are the last things on most minds.<br />
<br />
Rumors from a staff member who heard it from an alumn who heard it from a dentist who heard it from your mom place Flunk Day either today or tomorrow. <--An elaboration on this story is that, in theory, the food is only able to be kept a few days beforehand. <--Sam Martone says he has heard this story debunked by several people, they have pointed out that there doesn't need to be more food for Flunk Day than any other day.<-- They have different food not available on normal days in such high quantities, such as the breakfast sandwiches juice boxes and milk cartons as well, as water bottles and other portable necessities. There is DIFFERENT food than usual people, that's why this was/is such a big deal.<--Food currently in the freezer is for LincolnFest, not Flunk Day. Flunk Day food was only ordered yesterday.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Jenn Snider reported saying she "would cry" if it is today... could those be tears of joy? <--No, tears of agony since club budgets are due Wednesday and the Finance Committee she advises is meeting Monday night to hammer through the 50 some club budgets... if Flunk Day is Monday then Tuesday would be crunch time. <--Jenn is going to be crying tears of whatever SINCE FLUNK DAY IS MONDAY!!!!<br />
<br />
12:36pm: Got Milk? Organic valley shipment of milk. Was that a bottle of milk or a pony? Flunk day is tomorrow bitches!!!<br />
<br />
Sometime after noon: Doug Fennig says that Flunk day is not Monday, but maybe Tuesday instead. Then says that is Monday. It's totally monday. Doug would never lie.<br />
<br />
All of Elder Basement making chicken noises. It must be Flunk Day. <br />
<br />
3:33pm 6 large unmarked trunks exited into galesburg right before me off of 74. I followed them and they pulled into the best western. Keep watching!!! <--Has ANYONE confirmed this? <--CONFIRMED!!!!!!!<--PICTURES.<---- How about you post pictures if you have them.<br />
<br />
Monday, April 26, 2010 9 events Time Event Location All Day Pre-enrollment for Fall 2010 Knox College 5:00 PM Alpha Sigma Alpha Informal Recruitment Compass Room 6:30 PM Badminton Club Fieldhouse 7:00 PM Galesburg Community Chorus rehearsals Jay Rehearsal Hall, Center for the Fine Arts 7:00 PM Lo Nuestro General Meeting Casa Latina 7:30 PM Student Health Advocacy Group Meeting The Human Rights Center, Galesburg 8:00 PM Common Ground Meeting Human Rights Center 8:00 PM History Club Meeting Common Room, Old Main 9:00 PM Circle K Meeting Ferris Lounge, Seymour Hall<br />
<br />
None of the above events on the calendar make a difference if it's Flunk Day get excited!<--Exactly. All of these "events" actually support Flunk Day being this day, because they are all unimportant compared to games/field trips/wtfever.<br />
<br />
Who is going to make a wikifire photo diary of the evidence hunt tonight? Better question: Who is going on an evidence hunt tonight? <--I'm going on a hunt tonight. You will not see me, however; I will be in full camo. Any lesser degree of badassery would not please the Flunk Gods.<br />
<br />
There is a new plant on the Gizmo patio. Also, Pam was in the cafeteria. OMGZTOMORROWISFLUNKDAYZZZZZZZ.<br />
<br />
Jenn Snider was in her office today working. On a Sunday? Unless she is trying to be the new president of the college working on a Sunday makes no sense. <-- Apparently there was a TRIO event going on where she was helping out<-- Likely Story.<br />
<br />
Ginny Graves did not attend chapter today... TOMORROW IS FLUNK DAAAAYYYYY!<-- But JNef was at chapter... wouldn't they both be gone if it was Flunk Day? <--Maybe not- JNef shows to throw us off.... also secret Funk Day Planner Jessi was also not present. TMRW IS FLUNK DAY!!! <---Britt Anderson was also not at Chapter <br />
<br />
It's rainy START DIGGING THE MUD PIT!!!<-- The mud pit has been dug. It looks FANTASTIC! Great job C/N! <---Ditto!<br />
<br />
Just talked to Quick Sam and he is expecting a "Big Day" of alcohol sales on Monday.<br />
<br />
This just in. TKS is working on an article regarding the lack of transparency and the anonymity present on the Wiki Fire board. Debbie Southern is quoted as having nothing to say. Two Knox students have already promised to have an open forum regarding Transparency on the Wiki Fire. Also being promised, the forum will go longer than needed and reportedly will focus on talking in circles. The art department and Guerilla theater are already planning strange and unmoving pieces of "performance art" for the Old Main Lawn <--THIS IS HUGE <--This is not true; I work for TKS and we are not running a story about that. At least, I don't think we are. <---I hope this is true because this is hilarious<br />
<br />
Two forum planning students have confirmed that a second forum will convene. A panel is being formed to discuss the benefits of talking in circles. Could this be a plot for collecting the Friars?<--And have it completed by tomorrow? No way <--How long do you think it takes to gather people?<br />
<br />
Martha (Flunk Day planner) is gone for the weekend and will not be returning until late monday... she wouldnt miss Flunk Day <--Flimsy excuse. Being out of town until "late monday" could just be intentionally misleading. Also, since when does the entire day require a single person?<br />
<br />
It doesn't matter where people were or were not. It matters where they ARE. Right now. Until much later. Find them. Watch them. Do you know Seniors? Watch them. Do you have high tech GPS tracking devices? USE THEM!<--See, this is how people develop a creepy image. Does flunk day warrant legitimate stalking?<br />
<br />
I just saw PETE WENTZ of Fall Out Boy spotted at Jimmy John's ordering a #6. TMRW IS FLUNK DAY!!!<br />
<br />
There is no such thing as Flunk Day. It's all a scare to make students not study, and fail exams (like the one in Scott Sunderland's class monday) Flunk Day is Wednesday. <--First that test is easy, second Flunk Day is REAL and BE PREPARED CAUSE IT'S THE 26th!!!!<br />
Tank wrote this^, and he is stupid. Tomorrow is Flunk Day <br />
<br />
Pete Wentz!? *Phish* I just saw Brian Wilson walking a dog down Monmouth Boulevard. It is Flunk on the beach, after all. That guy really gets around.....<br />
<br />
While making my stirfry Keith confirmed that tommorow is indeed flunk day!!!<br />
<br />
Henry also said tomorrow is Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
Just in! Abe Lincoln and Stephen Douglas impersonators were spotted inside the Broadview Cafe eating a Horseshoe and Mexican Skillet. When asked why they were staying at the Ramada Inn "Douglas" claimed that he has an engagement at Knox on Monday. "Lincoln" told me to go to Romantix and buy some rush.<br />
<br />
8:59pm Lots of mysterious trucks drove past campus down south street <-- OMG TRUCKS. With only two major highways it's impossible that Galesburg ever experiences trucks!<br />
<br />
Has anyone seen Ginny Graves or the potential Senior friar candidates?<br />
<br />
Around 9pm Senior David Plott seen leaving Tompkins 5 in a hurry. Lights were left on (he loves the environment). No Cellular device left (Always leaves his cell). His mouse was not put away (its always put back). Possible Friar? <-- Proof? THIS COULD BE HUGE.<br />
<br />
<br />
4:36: Trucks seen at rest stop in Moline which got off at exit 54 and parked in gravel lot in Knoxville. Photo evidence. Flunk day? <---THIS COULD BE HUGE!!! http://www.thewikifire.org/index.php?title=Image:Flunk.jpg <-- Compacted because A) it was too big and B) it is fake <-----UH...what was the weather today folks? raining and gray...this is not recent....we are being hoodwinked!<----Your drunk! It was sunny all day in Knoxville... My camera's clock must have stopped running...Of course they sell corn dogs at flunk day...<---I am not drunk, thanks for your input...Moline is only 30 minutes from Galesburg and it was gray as hell all day... therefore I'm calling your bluff. Offer proof that the weather was nice there and I'll be all for believing you. <br />
<br />
<-- This picture should be much larger for me to objectively decide.<br />
<-- Meta Data on photo says taken in 08.... And Food Fair items wouldn't be used on Flunk Day.... It clearly sells corn dogs<br />
<br />
Just back from Post 8 Recon and alcohol run. Whoever posted about the 6 "unmarked" trucks at Best Western... FUCKING FAIL!!! The 6 unmarked trucks are Halliburton trucks carrying huge ass industrial pumps and were at the Holiday Inn. However, there were a few suspicious trucks at the hotel on the square with Missouri plates. We also hit the hotels out by the Sandburg Mall. There is one suspicious trailer and another flatbed carrying large livestock panels. Petting zoo maybe? Discuss... The real question is, why would you not take/post pictures? Someone should take a note from the old '09 page.<br />
<br />
<---- Cody Engle has a huge horse monster c***, which means FLUNK DAY IS DEFINITELY TODAY.<br />
<br />
<--- 10:15pm, Helmut seen entering the caf through the loading dock. Looked over his shoulder to see if anyone was watching (luckily i'm as stealthy as a cat and hid in a nearby bush). Couldn't take a picture though, it was too dark. <---- proof? <----- CONFIRMED. I saw it too. Will upload pic immediately. <----- he wouldn't come in this early <---- unless it really is FLUNK DAY!! <----- i saw this too. confirmation numero tres. GET YOUR FLUNK DAY STASHES IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY!<--Do they automatically transfer the phones over after hours or would it ring until the answering machine picked up? You can try calling dining services(the caf, not the office) to see if he's there(and would answer). <br />
<br />
At around 9pm, Neal was seen going into the mailroom. On a Sunday...? <--- FLUNK DAYYYYY<br />
<br />
JEN SNIDER SEEN HAVING A BEER AT DUFFY'S WITH A FRIEND TALKING ABOUT TWO UNION BOARD EVENTS THIS WEEK!!! (The only scheduled one is Friday) FLUNK DAY!<br />
<br />
<--- Jamie Galante says it's Flunk Day. She never lies. FLUNK DAY.<-----Gingers are 1) not people 2) stupid<br />
<br />
FLunk Day is like Christmas when you're 8, how will I ever fall asleep???<br />
<br />
Ginny Graves doesn't exist.<br />
<br />
Both Britt and Martha (flunk day planners) were gone this weekend, but have returned. Ah, resting up, perhaps?<br />
<br />
NOTE:: Jonas Brothers van seen driving through town. Potential flunk day performers? I think so! FLUNK DAY.<br />
<br />
<br />
Any Seniors gone missing yet???<---Yes. I am missing. <--- According to an earlier post, David Plott is missing.<br />
<br />
Azim is having a party at his place--- ITS FLUNK DAY!<br />
<br />
Dining Services workers were overheard on Friday telling student workers that Monday might be Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
Felipe Borman is Sober.........It cant be Flunk Day..!<br />
<br />
The people upstairs in Tompkins are talking. Normally they just stomp around loudly and have sex, so this is a sure sign that tomorrow is flunk day.<br />
[[Image:http://www.thewikifire.org/index.php?title=Image:DSC_0104.JPG]]<br />
<br />
10:38pm - Lights on in mailroom. Upon further investigation, person is seen behind mailboxes working in the mailroom<br />
<br />
<br />
11:15 PM: All of Elder Basement making chicken noises. It must be Flunk Day. <-- CONFIRMED!<br />
<br />
Roger Taylor was reported stating in the Dean of Students office that he has trustees coming in on monday . . . FAKE TRUSTEES!?!?! <br />
<br />
- Pam Schuller and Randy Geary are both on campus until monday. They have both conceded to not knowing anything about flunk day. Sodium Pentothal questioning soon to follow. . ..<br />
<br />
10.38 - Light is on inside the CTL - what is John Haslem planning?^^<br />
<br />
10:40 - Helmut's truck is still parked outside <--Helmut dont drive a truck<-- "don't drive" ... nice grammar. And I believe he does.<br />
<br />
10:40pm - Beta seen putting black garbage bags up over windows.<--They're just too cheap to buy curtains! They don't know when it is<br />
<br />
10:46 - Suspicious whistling heard near apartments.<br />
<br />
10:48 - Seniors buying alcohol at Quickie<br />
<br />
10:50 - Ruckus at Fiji. Members are playing games on porch. Talk about tomorrow being flunk day overheard. It was also ascertained that Martha took the late train back.<br />
<br />
11:00 - Several seniors seen sprinting across campus. Several more piled into a car in the loading dock.<br />
<br />
11:15 - group of senior SNU's seen leaving the house together<br />
<br />
11:18 - Fayne is sitting in his car with several other people waiting at the loading dock.<br />
<br />
pics or it didn't happen!<br />
<br />
11:40 - I-house residents are going crazy...Avi seems super positive.....its Flunk Day...<br />
<br />
11:41 - John Williams is attending Boobquake.... its Flunk Day<br />
<br />
Rafay Khan not studying on a Sunday night-- IT HAS TO BE FLUNK DAY!!!!<--He has a math quiz tomorrow too ...<br />
<br />
Micheal Tam sitting naked on the hamblin balcony.... <----- Irrelevant. Michael Tam is always naked. <br />
<br />
CONFIRMATION IN THE FORM OF MAILROOM PROOF! check it out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMF0E-wU0Us <--- isn't it locked?<br />
<----Yeah, that's me blithering on in the background. Confirmed.<--FYI Neal is the APO advisor and is always on campus sunday nights<br />
Flunk day! don't you hear the trains???? plus all of i-house went out to buy boozzee...<br />
<br />
Very convincing video. Whoever did this deserves a high five. How did you get in the mail room, though?<br />
<br />
Yes the doors are locked. we are standing at the base of the stairs at the doors right before the bookstore. I just zoomed in majorly. :)<br />
<---- Those windows are wired, you can't just zoom in, they were in the mailroom.<br />
<br />
The video is clearly staged. If it is as they say filmed through the window, where are the wires for the security glass? The perspective doesn't match with the claim that it was zoomed in either. Don't blow your load over a silly youtube video. And if it were real, why would the poster post it anonymously? Or was it you? <br />
<br />
update! Betas seen at walmart and walmart manager proclaims tomorrow is flunk day! <--Betas are just alcoholics, that is what they do on Sunday nights!!!<br />
<br />
12:02 - Movement spotted inside the mail room. TOMORROW IS DEFINITELY FLUNK DAY!<----yeah, you're majorly late to the party. Watch the damn video.<br />
<br />
<br />
12:06 - I just told campus safety that I needed to check my mailbox for grad school application EMERGENCY! When I opened my Kbox I saw a flier and it said "Gotcha." Sadly, I don't think it's flunk day tomorrow. <----Unfortunately, I believe you. Can we have a photo proof though :( <---but why would campus safety succumb to this request if it was flunk day? the reasoning is flimsy. there's no mail on sunday, so why would there be anything new between when the mailroom closed and now?<--- Good point, but why would someone lie about it NOT being flunk day. That's not in the Knox spirit, if you ask me.<--(12:57PM) it is not the Flunk spirit. But there is no way Campus Safety would let us into the mail room this late at night, regardless of the excuse. The grad school application would be able to wait six hours. Also, if you look very closely at what's being stuff, it's not a flier they are stuffing in the mail box. If you look at the folding motion, and the thickness of the material being stuffed, it comes out to roughly be about what a Flunk Day Newspaper would be. I'm just saying. Watch the video again. <--Also, PICS OF THE FUCKING FLIER OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN, BITCH. <-- It is also completely unrealistic that Neill would let someone into the mailroom to stuff mailboxes with "Gotcha" flyers on a Sunday night. I work in the mailroom and know how strict he is during a regular WEEKDAY about actual flyers that go out. This is fake.<br />
<br />
12:09AM: can we get names of people who shot the video? or else i'm positive it was staged by FD planners. sounds a lot like jnef... <br />
<br />
<br />
video is (not)dumb, they said they shot it from outside and zoomed in, those windows are wire reinforced, i see no non focused wire in the picture.<--video is legit, there were about ten of us there.<---Video is legit. Camera smushed against glass, zoomed in epically, big spaces between wires, camera gets past them. Bitches.<br />
<br />
12:15AM Sam Martone's facebook page, a clearinghouse of flunk day information, has disappeared from facebook. Forces more powerful than us are moving.<br />
<---- Sam Martone planned on taking down his own facebook page during a really good scare, 10 bucks this was posted by Sam Martone<---Yeah I'm pretty sure Sam Martone is just messing with us. That's just like something he would do.<--Yeah Sam Martone doesn't know anything really.<br />
<br />
Also, the trucks last year were camped out at the train station.<br />
<br />
12:20AM I am a senior. I got a text inviting me to be a friar. I might not do it because I'm supposed to show up sober.<--- not legit<br />
<br />
12:19 AM Senior Heather Kopec returns to Tompkins apartment somewhat sneakily with one less person in her car then when she left. Also with booze. And her hoodie up. Why hoodie up when you have such fine hair.<br />
<br />
More video proof that it is flunk day! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTFWmdvBbZE<--- Obviously, a video of Union Board adviser Jenn Snider and Flunk Day Planner Ginny Graves.<br />
<br />
Kristin Mcdonald has been running around seymour on a rampage. She ran to the quickie and returned with lots and lots of booze, its flunk day. Kmac is a beast....she always knows what's up.<----------Also, a dumb freshman who thinks flunk day is everyday.<br />
<br />
EVERYBODY GET DRUNK JUST IN CASE BECAUSE THAT IS A FOOLPROOF PLAN<br />
<br />
12:42 - Someone heard yodeling across from SMC. Also screaming. Perhaps she was hit with FLUNK!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
12:46 - Large group of people seen eating shit tons of psychedelic mushrooms! Flunk Day while tripping balls?!<br />
<br />
12:48 - The Wiki Fire and Facebook are too quite for it to potentially be flunk day tomorrow. <----QUITE so. <---- Hope that was sarcasm cause everyone and their mama are on facebook...yeah i would know cause my mama and i are on...and yes, it is flunk day tomorrow!<br />
<br />
12:55 - I jerked off - Its Flunk Day<br />
<br />
12:57 Text message from Roger Taylor. Flunk Day was yesterday, April 25th. It was just really lame. <-- CONFIRMED.<br />
<br />
12:55 - I jerked off.. Twice - Its Flunk Day<br />
<br />
12:56 - Townies are acting very strange. They were congregating at the quickie and seemed to be multiplying by the minute. Its a fact that Flunk Day drives townies wild.<br />
<br />
12:57 - Betas proclaim its Flunk Day.. No choice now it has to be <-----Derek Larosa also seen buying Rush.<---if it is indeed flunk day DO NOT let him drink any more rush! it was bad enough the first time... <---- I heard his eyes were yellow the next day. But don't worry, he has been quoted saying, "Dude, it's ok, brah. I do this shit all the time!" <----- Again Betas are all drunks. Every day is flunk day for them. <-------- DUDE DRANK THE RUSH!!!!!! IT'S FLUNK DAY!!!!<br />
<br />
1:00 AM-Group of Friars spotted outside Post.<br />
<br />
1:05- Heather Kopec isnt answering her phone. She has been spotted walking hood up towards Seymour with a bottle in hand.<br />
<br />
1 AM - FLUNK DAY PLEASE?!<br />
<br />
12:59- Men who live next to old phi delt house are now grilling. What does this mean? Probably nothing, but could be HUGE.<br />

<br />
===Tuesday, April 27===<br />
<br />
Again, dentist story is circulating.<br />
<br />
Also, note rumor about overhearing security guards placing Flunk Day today.<br />
I've found a reasonably strong case that Flunk Day is Today. It is well-known that fake events are often added to throw off accurate predictions. Noting this, if you look at the schedule on the Knox site for the 27th [1] , you will note that there is a Softball game at 3:00 and 5:00 at Eureka College. Knowing that fake games have been created before, I looked on the Eureka College site. Their softball schedule [2] has no mention of any game with Knox after April 9th, let alone on the 27th. Yes, it could be a mistake, but note that the 2 games on the 27th are separately posted, making a mistake less likely and malicious intent more probable. <--- Wow you fail, there is totally a game against Knox at both 3:00 and 5:00 against Knox on the Eureka site schedule [3]. I figured out why you were wrong, you were looking at the 2009 schedule and results, not the 2010 schedule.<-- Tsk, you ruin my fun. ;P<br />
<br />
<br />
Alicia is totally in her room making up stories about going to get more whiskey!!! We know she's a friar! ITS FLUNK DAY <--- You're an idiot Sean.<br />
<br />
===Wednesday, April 28===<br />
Facilities members suspect this day?<br />
<br />
2 possible conflicts (though not necessarily excluding this day) are a confirmed home baseball game and the McNair Fellow Proposal Presentations.<br />
Numerous residents in Hamblin Apartments woke up on April 25th with "Wendísimo" written on their dry erase boards. As mostly seniors live in Hamblin, could this made up word be a hint that Flunk Day is on Wednesday??<br />
<br />
===Thursday, April 29===<br />
Nothing has really been said about this day. <--- I have an exam, Flunk Day has to be today.<br />
The Men's Golf Team will be at Conference in Rockford. Flunk Day is not today.<-- Golf has been screwed before, it can be screwed again. <---not twice in three years... not to mention that it's been confirmed by a senior (as in experience, not year of college) dining services employee that flunk day is not on a day that golf is gone. BOOYAH.<br />
<br />
Sorry but Flunk Day is Monday, the 26th.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==May==<br />
<br />
We love gays in may.<br />
<br />
==June==<br />
<br />
Clearly the administration will wait until senior week to hold Flunk Day, thus saving all of those budding alcoholic underclassmen from alcohol poisoning. <--LOVES IT!<br />
<br />
<br />
==President's Circular Email Prank==<br />
<br />
The following email was (mistakenly?) sent tonight to an undisclosed list, but apparently they are recent donors to Knox.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Flunk2010.JPG]]<br />
<br />
<br />
-Hmm... I think it's time for some foot soldiers. Deploy my minions!!! Also, groom the mud pit. <-- Better be safe than sorry. That mud pit is in sad shape.<br />
<br />
-It's a Fraud: [This is] Shopped. Grey box around lettering. I'm going to sleep. <--- Oh give me a break, those are just JPEG compression artifacts, that kind of "analysis" doesn't fly with lossy formats.<br />
<br />
-It's Authentic: Opposite of shopped - screenshots captured and reassembled in Paint, then saved as JPG -- that's where your gray letters come in. I'd be happy to forward the original along to anyone who wants to see it.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Picture 1.jpg]]<br />
<br />
<br />
-Real or fake though, that mud pit needs dug Conger/Neal. You're supposed to be on that shit by now.<br />
<br />
-Is this Roger Taylor's goodbye prank?<br />
<br />
-It's a Fraud: Look, guys, it's not fucking Flunk Day. What it is, is an absentee Flunk Day scare. THIS IS A MASSIVE ALUMNI CONSPIRACY, undertaken by our gone (but not forgotten) friends from 2009 who want to relive their Flunk glory as an escape from their student loans and meager employment prospects. It's next week for sure.<br />
<br />
-It's Authentic: Flunk day IS tomorrow. This email was sent to a '93 graduate (official). FLUNK DAY!!!<-------- No way!<---------WAY! THIS IS TRUE! <br />
<br />
-It's a Fraud: Look at the signature tag of Roger's email. Definitely not the same as previous emails he has sent out. Mailbox number is incorrect, and he always puts Roger L. Taylor '63, which does not appear anywhere in the signature. It is a hoax. Tomorrow is not Flunk Day, though I still hope it would be! <--http://www.knox.edu/About-Knox/We-Are-Knox/Our-President/2009-Presidents-Report.html That's the way the Rog always signs his letters btw.<br />
<br />
-Point of Clarification: Why does it say circular? I thought it was President's Circle. <---- *Taken from the Knox Website* Participants in the Finley Society will be recognized for their leadership gifts to Knox with special mention in the Honor Roll of Donors, an invitation to the President's Circle reception at Homecoming, and subscription to the *PRESIDENT'S CIRCULAR*, an e-newsletter for all members of the President's Circle.<br />
\<br />
<br />
There are 8 letters in the word flunk day. If you add together the digits of tomorrows date waht do you get????<br />
<br />
4+2+6+2+0+1+0=15<br />
<br />
1+5=6 and six is the last number in 26! Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Sigma Nu is planning a flunk day scare. Obviously tomorrow we will learn that it is in fact ......... NOT FLUNK DAY<br />

Track the (sometimes) elusive [[Flunk Day]] throughout Spring term. <br />
<br />
== Maximizing Your Flunk Shui ==<br />
<br />
A significant theory exists that Flunk Day is not a fixed date that occurs inevitably. Rather, it is the result of an amazing display of personal willpower, summoned subconsciously by an individual exhibiting a profound amount of good Flunk Shui.<br />
<br />
Keys to maximizing your Flunk Shui:<br />
<br />
1. Don't update the Wiki Fire. Doing so only increases the likelihood of your updates being Seen, and as a result, Flunk Day may not occur.<BR><br />
2. Don't e-mail Xavier. Don't e-mail Pam. Don't stalk Pam. These people have everything to do with Flunk Day, and Flunk Day may not occur if you demonstrate any clear signs of Knowing it will be Flunk Day.<BR><br />
3. Do e-mail Jenny Davis. While she also has nothing to do with Flunk Day, she's very personable and lively in her e-mail correspondence.<BR><br />
4. Try talking to people you wouldn't normally talk to. "He's an asshole. I know him, even though I don't know him." becomes "Hey, what's up? Flunk Day tomorrow?"<BR><br />
9. Consider, briefly, the fact that logic does not exist & therefore natural progression does not<BR><br />
5. Flunk Shui isn't something you can attain. You either have it or you don't, kid, and frankly if you've reached point number five by now you ought to be on to something.<BR><br />
6. The maxim "Flunk Day is Tomorrow." as well as "Flunk Day is ALWAYS Tomorrow" are foolish. Those with true Flunk Shui know that Flunk Day is a day that happens once a year at Knox. It's usually always a surprise.<BR><br />
7. Don't think about Flunk Day. Don't think about Flunk Shui.<BR><br />
8. Just breathe, and watch the world breathe. Read some Romantic poetry, perhaps. Exist.<br />
<br />
<br />
== NEW E-MAIL TO SENIOR CLASS CONCERNING FRIARS!!! ==<br />
<br />
E-mail received Tuesday, May 5th, 1:43 PM:<br />
<br />
''From Jenn Snider:''<br />
<br />
''Attention Seniors:''<br />
''Think you should be a Flunk Day Friar?''<br />
''In order to make the selection as fair as possible, we want you to tell us why you deserve to be a Friar!''<br />
''Let us know how you're involved on campus, what you'd bring to being a Friar, and anything else you think we should know!'' ''Creativity is encouraged!''<br />
<br />
''Submissions should be no longer than one paragraph and must be received by '''Friday, May 8''' at noon.''<br />
''To apply, DO NOT HIT REPLY! All submissions MUST be sent to jsnider@knox.edu to be considered.''<br />
<br />
--<br />
<br />
What does this mean? Obviously, it's a scam: Flunk Day is tomorrow, and this is meant to have us think it can't be before the end of the week.<br />
<br />
== An IMPORTANT MESSAGE about using this page! ==<br />
Hey all of you lovely wiki users, it's time we had a talk about talking. I've bet you've seen people talking to each other using something like this:<br />
<br />
''It's flunk day tomorrow! <------ You're a moron! <----- Fuck you!''<br />
<br />
Well this '''really mucks up the page'''. You see, we all want to keep tabs on Flunk Day, so we need to keep our info clear and free of this kind of stuff. But there's a solution! See the "discussion" tab at the top of this page? Go there! Go on! Go to it! Use it to discuss, berate, argue, call out, insult and congratulate.<br />
<br />
But please, please let's keep THIS page pure. Let it be full of quality 100% unadulterated flunk day information. The better it is the better our odds of figuring out just when the mysterious day will be. <br />
<br />

== Flunk Day Map! Track shit! ==<br />
Track suspicious locations and clues around Galesburg. Place a pin and a description. Open to all (have to log in with your gmail account).<br />
<br />
<br />
[http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&ll=40.944266,-90.371604&spn=0.011556,0.019312&t=h&z=16&msid=104372344600731454677.000468cb51e605ff87df2 To the map!]<br />
<br />
==When Do YOU think Flunk Day will be?==<br />
<br />
A handy poll!<br />
<br />
http://www.learnmyself.com/poll3981x320049Da<br />
<br />
==Is it Flunk Day yet?==<br />
<br />
Traditionally, close monitoring of [[lawn-mowing]] and the whereabouts of potential [[friars]] can lead to a general impression as to when Flunk Day may occur. However, this year the student body can take extra steps to ensure they know, without a doubt, when Flunk Day might, perhaps, possibly occur.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Admissions===<br />
<br />
A more accurate prediction may in fact be possible if there exists a member of the Admissions Office (student Ambassadors will do) who can relay details about the touring/visitation schedule. Empty days are less likely than one would think. Days involving large groups of guests from one location (ie. school or youth groups), and days where descriptions of visitors are mildly vague, are more telling. Large groups and vague visitations have been known to be scheduled on the big day, such was the case on [[Flunk Day 2006]].<br />
<br />
<br />
===EMT class===<br />
<br />
The EMT class does not know, nor does the ambulance service. Having taken the class last year and now currently employed there, seriously...they don't know and I'm extremely upset about it.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Online calendar additions===<br />
<br />
For those who check the [http://www.knox.edu/News-Sports-and-Events/Events-Calendar.html Events Calender] daily (as all Flunk Day enthusiasts should) be sure to notice any changes that occur in the schedule from week to week. It will probably be most effective to memorize every days' events for the months of April and May each morning before class, so that detection of said changes may be easier. <br />
<br />
<br />
Note that the calendar is not bound by the [[honor code]]; some events may be made up. Additionally, even though a sports event may be scheduled, Flunk Days have occurred when the softball team has had a game, or the golf team has had a tournament.<br />
<br />
===Helmut===<br />
<br />
If, by some chance, you happen to be out getting drunk with Helmut, try asking him when it is. <br />
<br />
<br />
===Parking lots, and Residents===<br />
<br />
On occasion, several large vehicles (trailers and such) have been spotted in parking lots around Galesburg, the day before Flunk Day. If you have a car, its best to do a scouting of the large parking lots around town daily. Often the residents of Galesburg get an idea its Flunk Day before the campus does. Residents have noted seeing parking lots full of these vehicles, strange goings-on at Wal-Mart, and other activities indicative of a "large drunken orgy" of sorts. When the petting zoos, and carnival equipment roll into town, the residents notice.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Pammy===<br />
<br />
Keep close tabs on [[Pamela Schuller|Pam]]. This is key. Do not believe one word that she says. she can not be trusted. <br />
<br />
<br />
===Roger and Anne Taylor===<br />
<br />
Rumor has it the Taylors are not usually around for the big day. Past absences have included trustee meetings and trips to the farm. Being familiar with their schedules can be informative. When asked today (Sunday, May 3) by a visiting student if leaving campus Wednesday morning would cause her (the student) to miss Flunk Day, Anne insisted she has absolutely no idea when Flunk Day is. According to her, she and Roger "have to work anyway, so it doesn't really matter."<br />
<br />
==Rumors & Scares==<br />
<br />
The first generally known Flunk Day scare occurred around 4:30 a.m. on Thursday, April 16. Subjects stormed Seymour and the quads with a bullhorn and a hammer to bang on what appeared to be a mini-keg. They were apprehended by two members of campus security on West St. One of the guys was a total dick about it, but the other one was cool.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Sunday, March 1===<br />
In a surprise move, [[Xavier Romano|Xavier]] and the [[Flunk Day Committee]] may surprise campus with the earliest Flunk Day ever, coming even before [[Winter Term]] finals ... Ugh. Too soon?<br />
<br />
===Sunday, March 29===<br />
Ah, the [[Flunk Day Season]] has arrived! With the season, of course, come various mostly-unfounded claims about the exact date of [[Flunk Day]]. <br />
If this is your first [[Flunk Day Season]], do not fall into one of these common ruts when deciding on your predictions:<br />
<br />
'''- Flunk Day is Tomorrow.'''<br />
<br />
'''- Don't assume that all events on the calenders actually exist.'''<br />
<br />
'''- Don't rely on the forecast. Rain just helps in the making of the [[mud pit]].'''<br />
<br />
'''- Don't believe any of the Upperclassmen. Ever.'''<br />
<br />
'''- On second thought, do listen to the Upperclassmen. Why would they steer you wrong?'''<br />
<br />
'''- Don't believe any of the Faculty. Ever.'''<br />
<br />
'''- No matter what [[Xavier Romano]] claims, [[Flunk Day]] ''will not'' be on a Friday.'''<br />
<br />
'''- The Flunk Day planners will not give you clues as to when the actual day is.'''<br />
<br />
'''- Everything they say and do may just be screwing with you. Always keep that in mind.'''<br />
<br />
<br />
Considering the semi-promising weather we have been having, and after a cursory look at a few schedules, my official prediction for [[Flunk Day 2009]] is '''''Tuesday, April 14th'''''. But that's too early, really. It would probably make more sense if Flunk Day were '''''Wednesday, April 29th''''', especially considering that the 14th has already passed.<br />
<br />
===Tuesday, April 14===<br />
Obviously, Flunk day was not today.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Wednesday, April 15===<br />
A precursor to [[Xavier Romano]]'s official Flunk Day Letter came today.<br />
<br />
---------------------------<br />
<br />
''[From Dean Xavier Romano]<br />
<br />
Imagine sometime last evening, a first-year Knox student--thinking themselves rather savvy and seasoned having made it through two terms at Knox--picks up their cell phone and rings me near midnight. Just imagine that.<br />
<br />
So...I reach for my cell--of course, thinking there is some "situation" on campus--only to hear a woman's voice asking in earnest and with all seriousness, the following (transcript of the phone conversation):<br />
Frightened First-Year (FFY): "Is this Dean Romano?"<br />
<br />
'''Dean X:''' "Yes..."<br />
<br />
'''FFY:''' "Dean Romano, is that you?"<br />
<br />
'''Dean X:''' "Why yes...are you ok?"<br />
<br />
(giggles heard in background)<br />
<br />
'''FFY:''' "So, it is you?"<br />
<br />
'''Dean X:''' "What do you want?"<br />
<br />
'''FFY:''' "Is tomorrow Flunks Day?"<br />
<br />
'''Dean X:''' "You mean Flunk Day? It's not plural."<br />
<br />
'''FFY:''' "Yes, that's it!"<br />
<br />
(turns to others in the room and says...)<br />
<br />
"It's Flunk Day and not Flunks Day"<br />
<br />
(laughter can be heard in background)<br />
<br />
'''Dean X:''' "Go to bed. No; tomorrow is not Flunk Day--too cold and not enough Flunk Day scares. Clearly, tomorrow (today) is not the Great Day of Flunk...so, go to bed, do what it is you do, but know that Wednesday is not Flunk Day."<br />
<br />
'''FFY:''' "Thank you, Dean Romano. You're telling the truth, right?"<br />
<br />
'''Dean X:''' "Go to bed. On something of this magnitude, would I lie? No--mislead, reshape, rephrase, misquote, or omit intentionally...possibly. Lie? No."<br />
<br />
(phone hangs up)<br />
But I am reminded to share with one and all Knoxies who dare...the Season of the Flunk has come to Knox College. Be afraid...be very afraid =-O and have a nice day!<br />
<br />
'''''-Dean Xavier'''''<br />
<br />
The Flunk clock has now started...you are so advised.<br />
More Dia de Flunk info coming your way soon...very soon indeed! ''<br />
<br />
------------------------<br />
<br />
'''From this letter, we can conclude three things:<br />
<br />
1. Xavier must get a ''LOT'' of drunk dials.<br />
<br />
2. The First-Years are in desperate need of a committed Scaring.<br />
<br />
3. Flunk Day is obviously tomorrow.<br />
<br />
In honor of Dean Romano's "coy little wink" from last year... ;)'''<br />
<br />
We can also conclude from Xavier's email that Flunk Day will, in fact, be on May 5. There is nothing on the calendar for May 5, and Xavier threw in the "Dia de Flunk" reference as a clue. What better day for Flunk Day than Cinco de Mayo?<br />
<br />
===Thursday, April 16th===<br />
In possibly the lamest flunk day scare ever, students living in the quads were woken up at 4:45am to hooligans with a megaphone shouting "Come outside it's FLUNK DAY!!" However, due to the fact that today is Admitted Students day, students knew that it could not be flunk day and were annoyed for being woken up at 5 am for no reason whatsoever. Robert David Carey was pissed off.<br />

<br />
===Friday April 17===<br />
<br />
The following email was received from Dean Romano:<br />
<br />
Today is NOT Flunk Day<br />
<br />
Indeed, today would have been a perfect day for Flunk Day. One glance at the weather, a look toward the sky, and a touch of our Midwest wind, all tell us that today would have been a perfect day for Flunk Day. But no! Admission had to have its Open House with all the "prospies" and their parents around and we've been told to be on our best behavior.<br />
<br />
Argue as I may as your loyal and unwavering Dean, I attempted to articulate to both President Taylor and uber Vice President Steenis that had Flunk Day happened today, we would have had 100% fall enrollment of those who were allowed to participate in the Day of the Flunk. The greatest concern, I'm told, was that the parents (aka mother and father of the prospies) would force their sons and daughters to enroll at Monmouth College while they (the parents) enrolled at Knox. Sadly, our housing is not designed for individuals of such amorous relationships that, ultimately, resulted in said prospies.<br />
<br />
While it is true that there are those among us who disdain and dislike the Day of Flunk, such as Salleha Chaudhry and Elaine Wilson or even some professors, I am convinced that we can overrun the Villa or their offices, on call, if need be. Be aware that there are some anti-Flunk Day dissenters in our midst!<br />
<br />
Wishing one and all a wonderful weekend. Be nice to the prospies and remember that Monday could be "El Dia de Flunk!"<br />
<br />

===Sunday, April 19===<br />
Deana Rutherford, Editor-in-Chief of The Knox Student, received this e-mail from Jenn Snider at 9:41 p.m. on April 19:<br />
<br />
Deana,<br />
I was wondering when you were going to have the Flunk Day issue of the TKS ready. I know you all had started working on it a while ago, but I haven't seen it yet. I need to have it ASAP if you want it to go out on the big day. Let me know when I can get it from you!<br />
Thanks!<br />
Jenn<br />
<br />
Deana replied to the note stating that Jenn would receive the issue by Tuesday, April 21, and asking if there was a concrete deadline for the issue's receipt. Her weaseling was unsuccessful:<br />
<br />
As with all things Flunk Day related, all I can tell you is the sooner the better!<br />
Jenn<br />
<br />
<br />
The [http://www.knox.edu/x13517.xml?category=&view=week&month=5&year=2009&date=3 week of May 3rd] looks particularly suspect. so does the week of April 27th<br />
<br />
<br />
===Wednesday, April 22===<br />
Even lamer "Not-Flunk Day" scare at 7:39am, by some sillies alerting the campus that, indeed, "It's not Flunk Day!!!".<br />
<br />
<br />
===Monday, April 27th===<br />
<br />
10:03pm<br />
Group of students from Longden 1 (and Ben Robbins, and Conger 3 and Neal 2 and Bekah Bally) begin making the mud pit. Soon after, Campus Security interferes and ends the fun. Longden 1 is suffering heavy fines. Oh well, such is the life of a Knox Flunk Day enthusiast. Rub some dirt on it. Note the absence of the all male floor of Conger 1 that consists of Brett Daley, Lei Wei, Mego, Zirkle, Jordan Ball, Bill Schaefer, Alex Davis, (Cute) Bob Dempster, Matt Goedeke, Josh Livingston, Danny Stafford, and Scott Pinker. What a bunch of wusses! They should have known their responsibility upon receiving their roomming assignment for the year. <br />
<br />
However, several hours later after security had vanished the faithful Conger/Neal residents were at it again for a good ten minutes before several assigned spotters informed the diggers that campus safety was circling the quads, and the diggers bolted. Luckily, the mud pit is now at a point where it will be finished in time for flunk day, even if it isn't worked on again until the morning of. <br />
<br />
<br />
10:50 PM Pam's status says she is tired and going to bed.<br />
<br />
11:30 PM Pam is heard outside of Four Name saying something about Vodka... wait, wasn't she in bed? Flunk Day?<br />
<br />
11:44 PM Pam and another Flunk Day planner leave the Gizmo after a short meeting. Neither one got anything to eat or drink. A notebook and a laptop were sighted.<br />
<br />
It should be noted that there are two real softball games on Monday, April 27th. Says who? Not the calendaaaaaaaaaaaaar!<br />
If you go to the sports events it does say the MWC Tournament is tomorrow morning. If you go to the Midwest Conference website the Tournament isn't scheduled until May 1-2.<br />
<br />
11:58 PM Clown cars spotted by Kaldi's<br />
<br />
12:15 AM Clown Cars were relocated to an empty lot near Henderson and Losey<br />
<br />
12:38 AM 90% change of thunderstorms all day tomorrow, give it up. <br />
<br />
12:38 AM Also, the quickie lady told me last week flunk day was this week... Apparently the school tells them in advance so they dont run out of booze/sunchips for the rest of their customers... But due to the imminent rain, its totally going to be rescheduled. Give it up.<br />
<br />
12:47 AM Pam is seen getting into a mysterious vehicle outside of her house...wasn't she supposed to be sleeping?<br />
<br />
12:53 AM Activity in mail room confirmed<br />
<br />
1:00 AM Begin drinking! Today is Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
1:03 AM Elaine Wilson answered her phone; not flunk day.<br />
So what, maybe she hasn't been picked up yet. Resume drinking!<br />
<br />
1:12 AM This is such an elaborate scare. Love it.<br />
<br />
1:24 AM Making of the mud pit resumes. Some Conger 1 residents grow a pair and help out.<br />
<br />
1:40 AM Sig Nu's outside helping making mud pit!<br />
<br />
1:40 AM Chris 'Mittens' Johnson confirms activity in the mailroon and while on his taco run also confirms sighting the Clown cars.<br />
<br />
1:45 AM Pam is seen outside of Sigma Chi.<br />
<br />
1:50 AM Unmarked 17-passenger vans towing trailers sighted in the parking lot of American Value Inn (Main St. by the roundabout). (Truth: there are 4 vans and only one has a trailer, and it's small)<br />
<br />
2:05 AM Alumna (AND PAST FLUNK DAY PLANNER) Meryl Leventon spotted loading a duffel and multiple shopping bags into current senior (and SUPPOSED flunk day "hater" (didn't you wake people up last year? hmm?) Jenny Davis' car outside of Knoxcrest. Jenny did not pick up her phone when called.<br />
<br />
2:27 AM Activity in quads comes to a screeching halt. Mud pit diggers go back to Conger and Neal. Oh well...it's been fun. Maybe Tuesday or Wednesday. Goodnight.<br />
<br />
2:29 AM Lights still on in mail room.<br />
<br />
2:34 AM Pam's favorite color is Kelly Green. We would have also accepted chartreuse.<br />
<br />
2:35 AM Pam not yet asleep. Spotted commenting on Facebook, including Sam Jarvis's status update in which he claims to know when Flunk Day is. This is highly suspect. The light in her room is on!<br />
<br />
2:46 AM Flunk Day updates are getting obnoxious.<--No, YOU'RE getting obnoxious. Zing!<----WOW I really don't know what to say back to that!<br />
<br />
2:56 AM What is the lastest???? I NEEEEEED TO KNOW!!!!!! Does the storm really not cancel the prospects of tomorrow being the big day???<br />
<br />
3:00 Pam Schuller is currently on Sigma Nu porch, and she may be intoxicated! I repeat, Pam is drunk on SNu porch!>--------------------This a false statement, she is in fact in my pants at the momoent.<br />
<br />
3:03 AM I have erection. Tomorrow is definitely the day of flunk.>---------you and me both have one. >--------- Yes, but mine is bigger.<br />
<br />
3:08 AM Investigated the sightings at American Value by peaking in the vans and trailers. Definitely looks like air compressors. Your mom's an air compressor, and if your mom is an air compressor, then tomorrow is Flunk Day fo' sho'.<br />
<br />
3:12 AM Yeah but it is pouring!!!<br />
<br />
3:12 AM Nope, sightings of clown cars are false (a hoax) and Pam was just hanging out at Sigma Chi. Not enough information, and it's raining. Game over! <-- don't believe it. Flunk day is tomorrow.<br />
<br />
03:15 AM Und wenn Sie nicht gestorben sind, leben Sie nach heute....>------this is America, you need to speak American<br />
<br />
3:15 AM I just called Jenny Davis and had phone sex. I lasted 20 seconds.<br />
<br />
3:19 AM Santa Clause's sleigh spotted over Old Main. A notable lacking of Rudolph at the front. It's flunk day.<br />
<br />
3:21 AM This is not even funny anymore... the truth must be told!! yea or nay already?!! >------ The sooner you sleep, the sonner you'll know.<br />
<br />
3:23 AM We went down Henderson to search for mysterious vehicles, but got sidetracked by Taco Bell. Mmmmmm nachos <---- Doesn't Taco Bell close at 3:00am? <---- Nope, it's still open, go enjoy the delicious.<br />
<br />
3:25 AM IGNORE ME!!!<br />
<br />
3:27 AM: It's official! Xavier is in his office! FLUNK DAY IS 100% TODAY! <--- Duh. <----- Check if he has erection. It's the only way to know for sure.<br />
<br />
3:30 AM: It's double official! Xavier is in his office, ripping the shit out of his 4 ft bong. (as everyone knows, Xavier's daily use bong is only 2 ft) >----- I always thought his office smelled a little off.<br />
<br />
3:33 AM: Pam is in her room I can see her through her window reading the wiki-fire and she has no pants on love the Pam stalker club...Pam has a 4-foot long erection oh wait she is 4 ft tall.<br />
<br />
3:54 AM: I took a hit of acid. The sky unzipped itself showing God and all of her splendor. She spoke unto me the forth coming day of flunk is tomorrow. She spoke in great length of my sexual prowess, the meaning of life, and minutely of flunk day and the festivities it will include.<----Can I buy some acid?<br />
<br />
4:10 AM They're mowing the lawns. It's Flunk Day. <--- Wow, I didn't know Flunk Day happened that often... <--- little known fact. I'm a senior, so I obviously know. Also, a founding member of the Pam Schuller Stalker Club. We're going to have T-shirts.<br />
<br />
4:19 AM Loading a bowl, in case of Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
4:20 AM Smoking a bowl.<br />
<br />
4:20 AM Bong Rips for Flunk Day <--- You've been sitting here and refreshing this page for the last 4 hours just to post that haven't you? HAHA <-- Me too! <--- It'll tear you apart, It'll drive you insane!<br />
<br />
4:20 AM Becky W. is drinking. This is a VERY reliable sign. <- Becky gave my a BJ. This is another obvious sign.<br />
<br />
4:29 AM Pam posts the following Facebook status update: "Pamela is about to turn off her light and go to bed" Look, I can beat you all to it! Night night stalkers. <---IS SHE REALLY SLEEPING? OR IS IT JUST A CLEVER RUSE? She lied about going to bed before. She could do it again.<br />
<br />
The safety e-mail has not gone out yet, keep in mind. But also, what if the safety e-mail will never come?!<br />
<br />
5:18 AM Took a drive around campus and checked mailboxes. There is *no* Flunk Dayish activity on campus (anywhere), the trucks at the Broadview hotel are still there (and dark), and nothing special was in my mailbox. Looks like today is not "El Dia de Flunk"<br />
<br />
5:21 AM The realization that spending an entire night refreshing this page did little to complete my work or make it flunk day is starting to sink in.<br />
<br />
5:22 AM FUCK <---- I feel ya. Oh well, back to work and lets hope it can be a little late, right?<br />
<br />
5:26 AM Best scare ever. You win this one, Xavier. But the war is not yet over.<br />
<br />
5:40 AM Xavier witnessed hitting his normal 2 footer for his routine wake and bake: it is officially not Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
5:48 AM Xavier = 3,456,875. Student Body = 0. Lets just blame this whole scare on Xavier and dock him a 1 point penalty for cheating. So, Xavier = 3,456,874. Student Body Still at 0. We're getting closer...ever so closer...We'll win yet, the revolution is coming!!!<br />
<br />
5:52 AM Yes, it will come...soon... I do however respectfully disagree good sir. 3,456,875 is the combined score of Xavier + Roger + Schlaf, of which 1,276,981 come form the times I've been busted doing coke, of which 285,396 times I was with Xavier and 356,155 were with Roger, these should not be counted. The score respectively should be 2,815,323 to 0.<br />
<br />
5:58 AM If sleeping with a family member of any of the aforementioned individuals counts for the S.B though, the score should be 2,815,323 to 2,815,322.<br />
<br />
6:01 AM No F-Day email, it is not today. Good scare ya'll! Lets solicit a "shamed woman of society" to bring the score to an even 2,815,323 each for a price no more than $60, we'll pay her with a bag of what ever dank Xavier uses. Xavier way be weak minded under the influence of his morning ritual.<br />
<br />
7:17 AM - [[Matt Hundley]] declares it is Flunk Day - if only because he's got wayyy too much stuff to do today and figures that getting wasted would be a much better use of his time than graduating. Meep.<br />
<br />
10:22 AM - New email from Xavier:<br />
<br />
[From Dean Romano]<br />
<br />
Last night, just before midnight-ish, I received a text message from Student Senator, Heather Kopec, stating, "I know it's Flunk Day tomorrow!" I did not respond to the Senate President "wanna be."<br />
<br />
Then sometime around 1:00 a.m. (insomnia...what can I say?), Paige Barnum, ATP president--and just maybe the most organized individual at Knox--texted..."Lots of big vans and trailers parked at hotel on square--must be Flunk Day, Xavier!"<br />
<br />
Wrong, wrong, wrong.<br />
<br />
Last night I had the pleasure of attending the TKE Chapter meeting...sorry, can't comment...super-secret stuff talked about. The gentlemen could not leave well enough alone and asked about 'El Dia de Flunk.'<br />
<br />
"When is it, oh Exalted One?"<br />
<br />
"Exalted Ones never talk."<br />
<br />
Too cold today, but it does remind me to get the rules out soon--very soon. And check that Prairie Fire athletic schedule. We do what we can.<br />
<br />
One thing is certain...Flunk Day is closer than you might think. Ha!<br />
<br />
1:30 PM: A student working in the caf overhears helmut and two caf workers talking about a flunk day menu...<br />
<br />
During 5th period, Helmut was seen leaving the Campus Life Office. Talking to Jenn Snider, perhaps?<br />
<br />
4:00 PM Helmut is seen holding a meeting with all caf workers at the back of the caf.<br />
<br />
6:30 PM Flunk Day planner Virginia Graves is overheard in the caf talking about the multitude of hours she must spend in the Union Board office tonight. Granted, there's a regularly scheduled Union Board meeting tonight, but she even mentioned sleeping on the couches.<br />
<br />
8:31 PM It's raining.<br />
<br />
8 50 pm - FLUNK DAY IS ON MAY 5TH.. 100 percent confirmed<br />
<br />
===Tuesday, April 28th===<br />
Seems like nobody actually thinks it'll be today. Well, aside from a few reports of side references and a couple of sly words from people in high places.<br />
<br />
Let's face it, having the day of Flunk on a Tuesday would result in fewer skipped classes. Although that is the express intention of the day, it seems logical that the less classes skipped, the better academically. Whatever.<br />
<br />
Stuart Allison has said twice, in passing conversation, that Flunk Day will be Tuesday. <br />
<br />
Xavier Romano has said twice, in passing conversation, that Flunk Day will be Tuesday.<br />
<br />
George Steckley has made it very clear to his European Enlightenment class that if Flunk Day should occur on a Tuesday or Thursday, they won't be meeting for class on the following day. He even printed this policy on a handout that was issued in class today. <br />
<br />
NOTE: the events calendar for Tuesday has 2 scheduled speakers and a workshop. However, both the scheduled speakers are from nearby in IA. This means rescheduling would not be a problem. The senior class speaker forum also is Tuesday. This may or may not have any bearing on the occurrence of flunkness, but should be taken into consideration.<br />
<br />
ALSO: Those pointing to Sherwood Kiraly's Caxton Club reading being scheduled tomorrow as evidence that it can't be Flunk Day should note that Kiraly is a Knox grad and is teaching at Knox this coming year. He could very well be in on an elaborate plot to make us think Flunk Day is not, in fact, Tuesday.<br />
<br />
8:45 PM There are at least five or six caf workers still mulling about in the caf, looking busy and suspicious. <br />
<br />
9:18 PM Six trailers spotted outside the Holiday Inn. It's on. Those sneaky bastards. '''False!!!''' No trailers of any kind spotted at the Holiday Inn.<br />
<br />
9:44 PM Where is Pam? Where is Jenny Davis? Someone, keep an eye out for them -- if it's Flunk Day, both of them will be acting strangely. <br />
<br />
10:01 PM Xavier has not sent out the Flunk Day safety email. How will first years know that alcohol, illicit drugs, and mud are explicitly NOT condoned by Knox College if we haven't gotten this email yet? Tomorrow's out for Flunk Day, punks.<br />
<br />
10:06 PM Knowing Xavier's power to do anything he wants, perhaps the safety e-mail will be sent out early in the morning ON Flunk Day itself, because everyone knows the first thing students do on Flunk Day is check their e-mail to make sure it is, indeed, Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
10:26 PM According to reliable Sophomore sources, Audrey Savage and Lexie Frensley, there are two mysterious trailers outside an abandoned grocery store, Econo foods. There is also a truck without a trailer in the parking lot of the Holiday Inn.<br />
<br />
10:38 PM According to more reliable sources (as in 2 Juniors that have experienced Flunk Day before) there are no trailers in the Econo Foods parking lot. There is a truck sans trailer at the Holiday Inn parking lot, which means a trucker is staying at the Holiday Inn. <---Before you declare something false "experienced juniors" you should make sure to check both Econo Food lots. They were there, however empty.<br />
<br />
10:42PM There has been a sighting of a "swirlly, carnival looking machine at Walmart" <---- honestly? i didn't even check this and i'm pretty sure that it's false. very, very false. Not necessarily a carnival ride-- we don't know what it is. http://i43.tinypic.com/25ahor4.jpg<br />
<br />
10:52 PM Suspicious truck with trailer near jo ann fabrics and crafts. (what truckers would park at a jo ann fabrics? can you knit and truck at the same time?)<----- I bet some truckers knit.<br />
<br />
10:56 PM There is nothing, repeat, nothing at the high school.<br />
<br />
11:04 PM Trailers parked in the Econo Foods lot (on E. Main, not Henderson) are CONFIRMED BUT EMPTY. Leigh Ann Johnson and Sam Bernstein found them open and proceeded to investigate. No dice.<br />
<br />
11:23PM Seniors Sam Jarvis, Kim Anderson, and Elaine Wilson spotted walking north on Academy with several glow sticks...they were walking very quickly. Hey, aren't AnSo senior research rough drafts due tomorrow? Shouldn't they be in the library?<br />
<br />
11:35 PM Right off Seminary Street there was witnessed a large yellow disc with a blue center (a large spinning wheel sitting on a triangle), with the markings SKS which is a mounted ball bearings company (used in carnival rides, google sks amusement). It looks as though it cannot be an industrial machine, being far too cheery<br />
http://i43.tinypic.com/25ahor4.jpg <PHOTOSHOPPED PHOTOSHOPPED PHOTOSHOPPED PHOTOSHOPPED PHOTOSHOP PHOTOSHOP PHOTOSHOP FOTOSHOP FOTOSHOP FLUNK DAY<br />
<br />
I took this picture. I can assure you it is NOT a carnival ride. Where's the rest of it and why is the rest of the trailer empty? Also why are there no other carnival type rides nearby? Stop acting like you know... drive out to Walmart (the new one), take your own damn picture, and then talk.<br />
<br />
Second photo taken by Leigh Ann, Nikki, Matt, and Steph: http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs005.snc1/2812_1161389915416_1247869812_30441532_445274_n.jpg <- We walked up to the thing, climbed on it, and still have no clue what it is. <-- Known nerd and physics major Jon Pierce-Ruhland confirms it to be an industrial-size pulley. Not a ride... sorry<br />
<br />
11:45 Velociraptors were spotted accosting seniors Sam Jarvis, Kim Anderson, and Elaine Wilson. Flunk Day may be cancelled due to this tragedy.<br />
<br />
11:48 No Pam updates or spotting...SHADY<br />
<br />
11:49 Quite right! Pamella Rae Schuller and Jennifer Beth Davis, Flunk Day hiding "wanna be's," are notably ABSENT from campus. If anyone sees Jenny and Pam, corral them and interrogate them! - Jenny has nothing to do with flunk day! We should all follow Pammy AND Alex Clark...keep a look out of midget and Alex spottings. <br />
<br />
11:56 PM Jenny Davis updated her facebook status 16 minutes ago (not from a phone of any sorts because the little phone icon wasn't by it) so she is clearly somewhere with a computer.<br />
<br />
12:01 AM No idea what computer Jenny's using, but there's clearly some serious planning going on. Anyone in Founders? Is she on her Macbook? Is she using Mike Giese's computer?<br />
<br />
12:02 AM Sherwood Kiraly, Caxton Club Reader for tomorrow, spotted leaving campus life office with Jenn Snider WITH A FLUNK DAY T-SHIRT.<br />
FALOSE--Jenn Snider is with the finance committee, in the senate office, as they are meeting to determine club budgets and they began at 6:30 this evening. <---- and they're still there? sketch... jordan kratter answered his phone during the meeting. Confirmed that the meeting is still ongoing. Yet picked up during the meeting... not 5 mins ago.<br />
<br />
12:05 AM ^Can you confirm? This could be huge.<br />
<br />
12:10 AM Seniors Mike Dooley and Sam Jarvis, both friar candidates, could not be reached. This is of course proof of nothing.<br />
<br />
12:14 AM Jenny Davis has been on AIM (JappyJenny) for the past 50 mins. of course proof of nothing.<br />
<br />
12:15 AM IS THE SHERWOOD KIRALY THING FOR REAL?<br />
<br />
12:20 AM Velociraptor spotted devouring Sherwood Kiraly. Caxton Club definitely cancelled. <------- can we get confirmation, this could be huge <------velociraptors have moved on, definite teeth marks on bones. Compsognathus now eating remaining flesh, watch out for those ankle biters.<br />
<br />
12:26 AM SHERWOOD KIRALY PEOPLE, SHERWOOK KIRALY!!! CONFIRM!<br />
<br />
Sherwood Kiraly is not a woman fools! Correct. The man leaving campus life was mustachioed and a little goofy-looking. Someone told me that that was him.<br />
<br />
12:37 technically he is only a small pile of bones now.<br />
<br />
Pam Schull...Schulle... Pam S. was overheard talking about getting drunk tonight earlier today (Monday). So, there's that. This proves nothing. It's Pam.<br />
<br />
12:34 Light turned on in Old Main, turned off 4 minutes later<br />
<br />
12:40 AM Lights flicker in fieldhouse.<br />
<br />
12:40 AM Somewhere, someone on Knox campus is getting laid, and others are updating Wikifire. <---- Some can do both at once, you know. <------- most are refreshing Wikifire. I actually was getting laid at this time, funnily enough. <br />
<br />
12:41 AM ^Jenny Davis on a mysterious computer and AIM, perhaps doing both.<br />
<br />
12:51 AM Campus security officer spotted leaving caf. Minutes later, a different campus security officer entered. The kitchen was dimly lit.---Clearly, someone is running an underground prostitution ring in the Knox kitchen. We should probably refrain from eating anything prepared there. Good advice in general, actually. <br />
<br />
12:56 AM Car seen leaving the seymour loading dock from sellew<br />
<br />
Earlier this evening: Two students buying a lot of chasers in the c-store spoke candidly with the woman there about flunk day (hence the need for chasers). she said that all the food service staff get calls at 4:30AM the day of flunk day.<br />
<br />
1:02 AM This page has been accessed 5,898 times.<br />
<br />
1:05 AM Michael Sales [WHO IS IN INDIANA WORKING ON A PAPER, but would much rather be leaving Cherry Street with Erica Jaffe] and Erica Jaffe [Erica Jaffe is in Canada] were seen leaving Cherry Street Bar and Grill with Dean Romano. Methinks flunk day preparations were underfoot... Also has anybody seen Pammy?<br />
<br />
1:08 AM Finance Committee recessed for the evening; to be continued on Tuesday night.<br />
<br />
1:08 AM Pammy drank a hot tea concoction (no alcohol, I checked) to make sure she doesn't lose her voice. Then she took tussinex and went to bed. NOT FLUNK DAY. (She could have lied though!)<br />
<br />
1:23 AM ABOVE POST IS A RED HERRING MADE BY FLUNK DAY PLANNERS. PAM JUST SPOTTED HEADING TOWARDS WALLACE LOUNGE AREA. actually, PAMMY HAS NOT LEFT HER HOUSE! We are watching.... (There is always the possibility of bilocation.)<br />
<br />
1:23 AM Erica Jaffe contacted and is not in Galesburg. NOT FLUNK DAY.<br />
<br />
1:23 AM 5 different semi trailers were found in 4 different locations: One at Econo Foods on Henderson, which had a cab attached; One at Route-66 Gas Station on Henderson, which didn't have a cab attached; Two at Econo Foods on Main Street, both of which had no cabs attached; One that was mentioned before at the JoAnn parking lot, which did have a cab attached. Every trailer belongs to a different transportation company across the midwest, and even the two in the Econo on Main lot are different companies. Also, the Econo Foods on Main Street has a sign that clearly says, "No Parking Anytime," but according to one junior who's been very observant, the trailers have been there for a few days. Why would they be there if they weren't leaving sooooon? <-- The two trailers parked in the Econo Foods lot on Main have already been confirmed to be empty. They were left unlocked by whomever owns them.<br />
<br />
Semis always park in Econo Foods and JoAnn. If you looked around town more often you'd know that. Also, a truck driver in a hotel is hardly a sign of carnies, they sleep in trailers. <br />
<br />
Also, a semi cab was seen at the Holiday Inn on Main by Hy Vee, which is odd because semi drivers usually just sleep in the cabs and the hotel is only about a mile from the Econo on Main where the two cabless trailers are parked.<br />
<br />
The trucks and trailers at the America's Best Value Inn on the square can be confirmed, but they're more likely just railroad staff. <br />
<br />
Also spotted was a truck carrying industrial fencing, such as that used for livestock (aka mechanical bulls or maybe even pony rides!) Probably destined for a farm. <br />
<br />
Obviously these are very spread out, but a townie student has confirmed that that is more semi action than comes through here regularly, and in general the hotels aren't this full on a random Monday night. The rain is probably deterring truckers who would normally press on.<br />
<br />
1:48 NO PAM HAS BEEN SPOTTED. Where is Pam? It is like where's Waldo but funnier cause she is a midget! She MUST be off with the Friars! Or getting ready for the Friars! Seriously, nobody has seen her all night!<br />
<br />
1:51 AM Pammy is in bed watching TV. Flunk day. <br />
<br />
1:57 AM Pam is on Facebook chat. Jenny Davis nowhere to be found. Could she be rounding up the Friars? (Jenny Davis has been heard in the area of Sigma Chi by two students doing homework. She apparently claims to have nothing to do with Flunk Day)<br />
<br />
1:58 AM Anyone seen Ginny Graves' status? She needs coffee. Bad. Why's that, Ginny? Got a long FLUNK DAY ahead of you?<br />
<br />
2:04 AM Pam was only on facebook chat for a minute. Maybe she was looking up the whereabouts of a friar...<br />
<br />
2:08 AM JENNY DAVIS seen on Facebook chat. Her status? "[Jenny Davis] has nothing to do with flunk day. stop stalking me!" Can we trust her word? Or is this a clear display of irony?<br />
<br />
2:05 EVERYONE, Jenny Davis has nothing to do with Flunk Day. I am SURE of this.<br />
<br />
2:24 Actually, Jenny Davis could potentially have everything to do with Flunk Day. Perhaps she's acting as Pam's gopher, while Pam lounges in her room, drinking her Tussinex and tea. Perhaps Pam's restfulness is a front, and Jenny Davis is the one pushing all the pieces into place for Pam (i.e. rounding up the Friars, etc.). So don't rule Jenny out. She would be the perfect behind-the-scenes girl: she's stealthy.<br />
<br />
2:41 AM Spotted: Pammy rolling in the mudpit by herself. Flunk day?<br />
<br />
3:05 AM A noticeable lack of activity, both on the Wiki Fire and presumably on campus. Is that it for tonight? Is it safe to say Flunk Day is NOT today?---It is never safe to assume this. Flunk Day will sneak up on you when you are least expecting it: this at least we should all know by now. Besides, everybody but you has already realized it's Flunk Day already. They've started drinking without you.<br />
<br />
3:12 AM No.<br />
<br />
3:45 AM If sunrise comes and no Flunk Day announcement has been made, is it safe to say Flunk Day is not today?<--Xavier's tricks. If there's no email get schlitzed and check again, you'll see it.<br />
<br />
4:16 AM Loading a bowl, whether or not Flunk Day approaches.<br />
<br />
4:20 AM Smoking a bowl.<br />
<br />
4:42 AM I hate flunk day.<br />
<br />
4;44 AM Flunk Day could still be today. But it probably won't be.<br />
<br />
5:08 AM Everyone should get some sleep. Pammy is :)<br />
<br />
5:14 AM Who can confirm Pammy's sleep? Better be sure it's not Flunk Day before you sleep.<br />
<br />
5:48 AM Just got back from a twenty-minute stroll around campus. The caf is preparing for breakfast. No visible mailroom activity. No unusual activity. No e-mail. No Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
5:49 AM Woke from a dream about flunk day with a boner. if thats not a sign i dont know what is<br />
<br />
5:55 AM I woke up this morning in a hot sweat and disoriented. It took me a few seconds to remember what i was dreaming about, but it finally came back to me that I was dreaming about fulfilling one of my darkest fantasies about having sex with a midget when I was about to finish and she started to convulse and is when I woke up. Silly me, it was only Pam Schuller and it wasn't convulsions and was just her tourettes. If this isn't a clear indicator that flunk day is tomorrow, then I don't know what is.<br />
<br />
===Wednesday, April 29th===<br />
Two home baseball games against Illinois College appear on the Knox events calendar, but the Illinois College schedule says they are playing Knox on May 2nd. After careful investigation, this game was a reschedule from earlier in the season. Clearly, Knox updates its athletic calendar with more frequency than Illinois College. Even so, rescheduling may only indicate a greater chance of today being Flunk Day: after all, if it was rescheduled after Flunk Day was planned, there was no way the planners could've scheduled around it. Real or not, these games mean nothing.<br />
<br />
NOTE: Small Housing Lottery takes place on Wednesday night. Given the important nature of this event and the insider knowledge of Craig Southern, this could indicate Wednesday is not Flunk Day. Or, quite the opposite...<br />
<br />
ALSO, Illinois College is actually scheduled to play MacMurray college on this day, and the MacMurray college baseball schedule reflects this. Are BOTH Illinois College and MacMurray college's baseball schedules wrong? Can Illinois college be two places at once? (Cool!) Their appearance at Knox AND another college is unlikely, therefore it must be Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
10:40 Student worker claims she saw the Caf. workers making the same cookies that were made for Flunk day last year.<br />
<br />
10:41 There are men placing a bunch of fold up tables on the Gizmo patio. Flunk Day Wednesday?<br />
<br />
10:55 AM: They are mowing the lawns. OBVIOUSLY, Flunk Day is tomorrow.-----> they always mow the lawns on Tuesday! <br />
<br />
1:09 PM Pam heard outside a window in the quads talking on the phone about "a large purchase order for to-morrow" that will be picked up "between 4:00 and 4:15"...AM or PM was not specified. WHAT DOES IT MEAN?<br />
<br />
2:08 PM: Arlen Specter is a Democrat. Your Flunk Day is invalid.<br />
<br />
2:23 PM: According to Pam, her honors defense is tomorrow. Proof that it isn't flunk day, or could this be a coverup?<--Coverup, definitely. I assume Pam scheduled her honors defense so that it would coincide with Flunk Day, thus offering a sweet coverup, plus an extra day for her to work. <-- Risky, because then she would have to tell her professors the right day and her friends the wrong day and hope that nobody figures out the discrepancy. Someone go ask Jen Smith or Neil Blackadder when Pam's honors defense is.<br />
Pam doesn't get to choose which day is Flunk Day... she just knows when it is. So it could be on the day of her honors defense... it would just suck for her.<br />
Why would she have to tell her professors the right day? It's not as if anyone's going to be like, "oh Flunk Day happened, so you don't get to do honors another day, sorry."<br />
<br />
3:11 PM Knox theatre professor Kelly Lynn Hogan comments on Knox theatre professor Lindsey Snyder's wall saying QUOTE: <br />
<br />
Lindsey Snyder might be the only faculty member that wants flunk day<br />

Kelly Lynn Hogan at 11:19am April 28<br />
Puh-lease. Don't imagine this to be true. I am poised. It's gotta be tomorrow. And, never underestimate the desire to PLAY in Craig. Flunk Day IS the reason that he BECAME faculty at Knox, after his student-days.<br />
<br />
Is Kelly right?!<br />
<br />
Even if she is right, that proves absolutely nothing. How would she know?<br />
<br />
Screw it. If enough of us get drunk tomorrow morning, it's flunk day. Who's in?<-------Me, but can we get confirmation on this, it could be huge <----- Tomorrow? I want to start now.<br />
<br />
5:04 PM Seedy adults spotted across the street from SMC. One, small, wearing a fedora. The other, rotund, wearing a goatee. <--they just stopped by in Admissions. One's an alum and the other is applying to come here. Also spotted: large, white Isuzu SUV parked outside post. Inside, grownup female examining MapQuest directions. <br />
<br />
5:43 PM I've received news that there is a prospective students day Friday. Is that true? Would there be enough time to clean the school up before then if flunk day is indeed wednesday or thursday? <--yes, there are prospies coming Friday <-- I think they could have it cleaned up enough by then. They clean it up pretty fast. <--- it's not like the "official" admitted students day, so although there are some prospies coming, it's not as legit.<br />
<br />
5:57 PM This is getting out of hand.<br />
<br />
6:00 PM Mysterious girl with dark-red pigtails in the fashion of Tiger Lily from Disney's Peter Pan spotted with scruffy boy dressed as a common Townie, wearing leopard print sunglasses. Is one of them Xavier in disguise? And why were they entering a dorm in the quads? Could one of them, possibly Xavier in disguise, be rounding up a Friar?<br />
<br />
6;05 PM CAN YOU CONFIRM? THIS COULD BE IUbfdjkbfkjbkbcv<br />
<br />
6:06 PM Wikifire editor witnessed being mauled by a vicious velociraptAAAUUUGHHHHHH!<br />
<br />
6:07 PM Witness to Wikifire editor's murder also murdered. Luckily I'm watching on closed-circuit TV from my secret Flunk Day Reconnoissance bunker. NOT Renaissance bunker.<br />
<br />
6:16 PM Helmut spotted moving large folding tables from Ferris Lounge to that hallway where all the other lounges are. A student who works with food services has confirmed that there are no special events or banquets to be held in the near future...EXCEPT FOR THE DAY OF FLUNK!<br />
<br />
6:30 PM Gina Franco, right before the ghost of Sherwood Kiraly's Caxton Club reading, confided in one of her brightest students that she "heard a rumor Flunk Day is tomorrow." Given Gina's amiable personality and networking on campus, it's safe to assume this "rumor" was probably whispered into her ear by her cat Romulus while she slumbered at 8:30 P.M. the previous night.<br />
<br />
6:55 PM Why are you still reading this? Get out and look for clues already!<br />
<br />
6:57 PM Craig Southern seen walking from Seymour towards Post with a large quantity of paper towels.<br />
<br />
7:30 PM Dean Romano was seen on wikifire. Has he been updating the page with false information?<br />
<br />
7:40 PM A phone call with one of the actors involved with Pam's Honors Project confirmed that she set Sunday, April 19th (two Sundays ago) as the date she wanted it done by. She also told the actors and crew that she wouldn't know anything about her project until Monday. This doesn't confirm that her project tomorrow is a cover up, but it does show that there's some wiggle room for her to reschedule the Honors Defense. I smell a hoaxxxxx.....<br />
<br />
7:42 PM Student reports that a meeting with the Dean could not be scheduled for tomorrow, even though the Dean's schedule is clear...<br />
<br />
8:08 PM Flunk Day Planner Ginny is seen walking around the second floor of the library.<br />
<br />
8:20 PM FD planner Ginny seen pacing in the library and overheard saying that something had arrived<br />
<br />
8:54 PM Planner Ginny, while pacing the library, explicitly states to Mike Payne, "You are allowed to drink because you're over 21 on Flunk Day, which is tomorrow" (!) <---It's always tomorrow though.. <----Why the focus on individuals? Find and confirm mass absences of seniors aka friars!<br />
<br />
9:00 PM Pam and Randy Geary seen leaving Campus Life/Founders area together <br />
<br />
9:01 PM Jenn Snyder and Liesl Pereira seen entering Campus Life Office and closing the door. Minutes later, they emerge, Liesl holding a stack of papers. <------ Liesl is a junior so that's not that big of a deal... keep an eye on Jenn!<-----Liesl is on finance committee and they are finishing budgeting for clubs tonight...that's why the two of them are walking around with paper.<br />
<br />
9:13 PM Spotted: Jenny Davis and Ginny Graves getting together and making plans to walk to the apartments together<br />
<br />
9:17 PM RA's seen putting tarps down on in their suites <--- Means nothing. RAs don't know when Flunk Day is, tarps are just laid down whenever they're given out, and last year it was a couple weeks before FD.<br />
<br />
9:29 PM A member of the golf team stated that a.] they were fucked over on Flunk Day last year b.] the administration promised they wouldn't have to miss it this year c.] the golfers leave for conferences early tomorrow. <--Maybe the golf team should stop planning things on Flunk Day.<--------- the actual tournament is on Thursday according to the events calender. <-----the golf team is leaving Wed. AFTERNOON.<br />
<br />
9:29 PM Rotund alumni reads this and does not like being called rotund despite in fact being rotund. He is drunk in hotel room with skinny prospect hoping Wed. is Flunk Day so that he can relive past glories and celebrate with the sprats. He has driven from MS for this. And he does admit to looking shady, as Big Mitch of Class of '99 was always shady. :)<br />
<br />
9:24 PM Keep a close eye on Jenny Davis. Rumor has it she'll announce the dawn of Flunk Day by landing her flying saucer (SPOTTED at Wal*Mart on Monday!: http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs005.snc1/2812_1161389915416_1247869812_30441532_445274_n.jpg) in the EXACT LOCATION of the Crop Circle in the lawn between the prairie and the Caf. Jenny Davis will then produce a megaphone from betwixt her ample bosoms and issue a strident call:<br />
<br />
FLUNK DAY IS TODAY!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
9:27 PM That's what Jenny is capable of doing when Flunk Day arrives.<br />
<br />
9:28 PM Xavier spotted sneaking into a room in the Quads holding something BIG under his arm. His 4-foot bong, perhaps?<br />
<br />
9:29 PM Or perhaps the "4-foot bong" is simply a metaphor for none other than the Flunk Day fox herself: Pam Schuller!<br />
<br />
9:30 PM Keep watching for details. Details.<br />
<br />
9:36 PM RA's find out their placement for next year by email from campus life. In addition, RA posts unnecessary update on Flunk Day 2009 page.<br />
<br />
9:46 PM Large RV with electronic equipment spotted in the parking lot at Walmart. <--- They wouldn't put the stuff at wal-mart. It would more likely be at the Best Western on main street.<--- it took up like 8 spaces! go check it out before you nay say <--- but wal-mart lets anyone park in their lot overnight. It could just be people traveling on the interstate.<br />
<br />
9:47 Still no FD Safety email. But vicki sibley is probably still on campus since she recently sent out that ctl letter..<br />
<br />
10:03 PM Just so everyone knows, according to Pam her honors defense is tomorrow AND her outside examiner is flying in from California. Which would make it a tad difficult to reschedule. This proves nothing, but its food for thought.<br />
<br />
10:05 PM The website for the Midwest Conference in baseball has Illinois College scheduled to play us here tomorrow. http://www.midwestconference.org/baseball/schedule.asp Probably not Flunk Day given that...<---It should be noted that those games were rescheduled (which accounts for the discrepancy on Illinois College's calendar) which means FD planners may not have been able to schedule around these games. It's still Flunk Day tomorrow.<br />
<br />
10:06 PM shit...<br />
<br />
10:08 PM Kitchen staff says not tomorrow. Community Orchestra concert on the 6th has been planned since January, so not then either. Obviously they are lying. Their calendar for tomorrow is clear. I checked it myself.<br />
<br />
10:11 PM Adam Mcdowell updates his Twitter: I'm pretty sure Pam's drunk. I just got a text message saying "Penis." Flunk Day is tomorrow.<br />
<br />
10:14 PM Adam Mcdowell has spoken, it is truth<br />
<br />
10:18 Ginny is seen leaving her apartment with baby nalgene, tomorrow is the day of flunk<br />

10:27 Raptors are taking over Wiki Fire <----- Stop this bullshit. It takes up space and no one cares about your idiotic ramblings about dinosaurs.<---Your complaining is both more annoying and more space-occupying. Live a little.<------This is the flunk day 2009 page, not the velociraptor page. Seriously, you're stupid.<--I have not made any updates about raptors, but usually they are entertaining. Your irrational pissiness is not.<<<<<------------ Flunk day is not tomorrow (I know for a fact), chill jobless people. <----If the flunk day wiki is too serious for raptors, I think we need to have a serious talk about loosening up.<br />
<br />
10:27 [[Velcociraptors]] are taking over Wiki Fire <----- Stop this bullshit. It takes up space and no one cares about your idiotic ramblings about dinosaurs.<---Your complaining is both more annoying and more space-occupying.

<br />
10:41 A contingency of penguins known to be velociraptor sympathizers have been spotted on campus. They are highly protective of their allies and are equipped with bazookas. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!<br />
<br />
10:49 Raptors will take over flunk day. Just be AWARE!!!<br />
<br />
10:50 PM A velociraptor has just attacked Ginny and is now sporting her baby nalgene and iphone. TOMORROW IS EL DIA DE FLUNK!<br />
<br />
10:58 Be nice to [[velociraptors]] on flunk day.<br />
<br />
11:07 More details to come soon, but certain people were leaving Campus Life and they are reported to have made certain incriminating statements. Prepare your stashes.<br />
<br />
11:15 Mysterious deletion of wikifire material...<br />
<br />
11:18 Mysterious readdition of said material... but the part about people leaving the campus life office is missing.<br />
<br />
11:18 Who would do such a thing? Anybody going to the dinosaur party this weekend?? [[Velociraptors]] might be there!!!<br />
<br />
11:19 Raptors? Fuck yes.<br />
<br />
11:34 The date of Flunk Day '09 will undoubtedly be influenced by the impending swine flu. Sunday: National State of Emergency Declared. Monday, Tuesday: Swine flu in Ohio. Wednesday: FLUNK DAY. Flunk day mudpit devoid of highly-virulent strains of terrible diseases for all!<br />
<br />
11:37 One potentially-fake prospie visiting? No way. Not right before deposits are due. (May 1) FLUNK DAY. <- Who says they're fake? I got the lunch hosting e-mail, and the kid actually goes to Naperville North. So it's highly probable to be true.<br />
<br />
11:40 A number of Knox students have grown exceedingly tired of the Velociraptor references as [[Velociraptors]] are extinct and unlikely to influence the date of Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
11:36 An equal (or greater) number of Knox students have voted that all raptor-hating trolls just STFU. Raptors may be extinct, and zombies may not exist, but it helps to have a contingency plan for both.<br />
<br />
11:50 The devolution of this wiki entry into a [[velociraptors]]/no [[velociraptors]] debate signals the lack of OCD students stalking random vehicles in Galesburg or Knox Students. Have all these would-be stalkers gotten an early start on the festivities, or is there simply nothing to report? <-- nothing to report. Typically (see previous years) the best signs start around 2 AM.<br />
<br />
12:04 I just checked my e-mail after emailing JENN SMITH (On Pam's honors staff). I had asked if Pam's honors was Wednesday. She said Pam's honors was NEXT WEEK.<br />
CONFIRMATION. PAM DOES NOT HAVE HER HONORS DEFENSE TOMORROW.<br />
FLUNK DAY IT IS! <---I don't buy it. If Pam were using her honors as a decoy, why would she tell anyone other than her off-campus outside committee person?<br />
<br />
12:24 AM [[Flunk Day 2008]] was officially called at 1:46 AM. You all got 1 and 1/2 hours to figure this out, as I see it. [[User:Tfooq|Tfooq]] 00:25, 29 April 2009 (CDT)<br />
<br />
12:27 AM Guys, it's already tomorrow in Australia. Why don't we just ask THEM? Think, people, think! <--- CAUSALITY DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY!<br />
<br />
FDI approves tomorrow! Trust Them<br />
<br />
12:42 AM ... Still no safety email........and still baseball tomorrow (according to Knox and the Midwest Conference)<br />
<br />
12:44 AM Pam spotted pacing the Seymour gallery and lobby, on the phone.<br />
<br />
12:44 AM Pammy is shwasted. <---possibly false, because she was just spotted in seymour, looking quite sober, on the phone. <--- well she was just spotted in our house, where she lives, shwasted.<br />
<br />
12:54 AM SPOTTED: Pam is no longer a midget. FLUNK DAY<br />
<br />
12:58 AM ^CAN YOU CONFIRM? THIS COULD BE HUGE.<br />
<br />
1:08 AM Lights on in Union Board Office<br />

01:13 AM Paige Barnum, notoriously organized favorite of Xavier, received the following text message from Xavier, " ;) " IT HAS TO BE TODAY!<br />
<br />
1:17 AM Confirmed: Carnival rides on trailers + four large unmarked trailers at best western. looks like we beat last year's record after all. fd 2009, commence. <---Can we get some visual confirmation? <br />
<br />
1:20AM: Does Xavier really text this many students? And if he does, anyone but me find that weird? Or am I just jealous? Also, someone gimme a pic of those rides in that parking lot and i'll buy the first round <---- he actually texts students quite often. <---- But wink emoticons? I think it's too weird to make the text/wink connection between an administrator and a student. Sounds like it could be part of a muckraking TKS article. <--Xavier is a texting machine. All the abbreves u can think of & everything.<br />
<br />
1:24 AM Contact lost with Dee Goebel <---this is confirmed. i just called her and she did not pick up. <--- It is 1:30 in the morning, could she be sleeping? <--- do you KNOW dee? c'mon. it's flunk season. she doesn't sleep.<br />
<br />
1:27 AM [[Pam Schuller]] is online, commenting on Shane Donegan's status, therefore not drunk. <--- honestly, someone could be impersonating her.<br />
<br />
1:33 AM [[Paige Barnum]] confirmed that she received no such text message from Dean Romano, though her phone is unable at this moment to send text messages. Miss Barnum and her cohorts suspect that Xavier Romano himself is editing the Wikifire, however, when the IP address of the updater was traced, it returned a Knox College computer. Could Romano be on campus? <--- this was written by xavier...who else would say "miss" barnum? <--- but it wasn't. i was there.<br />
<br />
1:36 AM Contact with Dee Goebel made.<br />
<br />
1:40 AM Trailers/rides confirmed at Best Western. It's flunk day. <--- Pics or it didn't happen <--- Seriously though, can we get some damn pictures? <----Confirmed:<br />
<br />
1:42 AM [[Paige Barnum]] confirmed that she never confirmed that she received no such text message from Dean Romano. She actually did. I saw it.<br />
<br />
1:48 AM Barnum's room mate confirms that no such text message was received. She was there.<br />
<br />
1:34 Nope,Pam is drunk.<br />
<br />
1:47 AM [[Jonathan Pierce-Ruhland]] returns from recon trip to Best Western on Soangetaha (west of I-74). Lot is devoid, repeat, devoid of semis. Unless there's a different Best Western, no dice. Sorry folks. <----- [Keegan Siebken] also returns from trip to the same Best Western. Concurs that there are, in fact, no dice. <br />
<br />
1:48 AM [[Sara Belger]] received a txt from [[Paige Barnum]] confirming she never received a text from the Xav-man.<br />
<br />
1:53 AM You kids and your txts.<br />
<br />
1:57 AM [[Donald Rogers]] is having a fucking freak-out and cannot take this anymore. He is shouting out his window on the corner of Tompkins and West.<br />
<br />
2:00 AM [[Michael Leon]] heard trains heard coming into Galesburg. Clearly bringing Flunk Day supplies.<br />
<br />
2:05 AM The rats in SMC basement are acting up. The animals always know first!<br />
<br />
2:08 AM SAFETY EMAIL IS HERE!!! FLUNK DAY!!!!<br />
<br />
2:08 AM Not really, though. Go to bed. I did.<br />
<br />
2:05 AM Another return trip from Best Western and it is confirmed that there is nothing in the parking lot.<br />
<br />
2:15 AM Rafay Khan is not studying. It must be flunk day.<br />
<br />
2:16 AM J.R. SHOT IN DALLAS. MORE REPORTS FORTHCOMING.<br />
<br />
2:23 AM Felipe Borman is going to bed. It cannot be Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
2:23 AM We checked out the best western and found nothing, though the holiday inn parking lot had something that may or may not have been a carnival ride engine... very suspicious. <br />
<br />
2:31 AM My kidney stone is acting up again. FLUNK DAY MOTHER FUCKERS!<br />
<br />
2:45 AM Campus is in heat for Flunk Day<br />
<br />
2:50 AM We just drove to the Best Western to check, and to our dismay we found no such trucks or trailers holding any sort of flunk day merriment. Sincerely, the MPs. <----No! They're at the Super 8, I dunno who reported them at the Best Western. <-- There are no Super 8's in Galesburg, dumbass! Flunk is not tomorrow everyone, always study. <----I don't know why you're so against this idea; Super 8's in Galesburg: 260 W Main St, Galesburg, IL AND 37 Knox Highway 10 I-74 Exit 51 Galesburg IL, Galesburg, IL<br />
<br />
3:06 AM i can haz flunk day pleeze?<br />
<br />
3:14 AM Flunk Day was yesterday .......pumpfake?<br />
<br />
3:16 AM Not Flunk Day, but party at my house effective immediately.<br />
<br />
3:30 AM Knox students still wondering 'Who shot JR?'<-----I did! Twice!<br />
<br />
3:32 AM Remember: if you show up for class/work/life drunk tomorrow, it's Flunk Day in your heart.<br />
<br />
3:42 AM Birds could be heard twittering (not involving the website, actually making noise) outsideo f the townhouses. It is suspected they were hired in order to make us believe it is just a regular day. DO NOT TRUST THE BIRDS!!<br />
<br />
3:47 AM It's so difficult to sort out fact from fiction. What do you guys think? Is it too late for Wednesday to be Flunk Day? <--- We never got our safety email, and there is baseball, it was never going to be today.<br />
<br />
3:58 AM I think there is a slim chance, but it isn't likely. Honestly, if I didn't have a midterm due tomorrow I would be sleeping and not worried about Flunk Day in the least.<br />
<br />
4:30 AM A walk around campus revealed almost nothing. There are lights on in the mailroom. But that could be nothing. There is, however, one suspicious light on in dining services. And a coat on the chair. Hmm. But otherwise, nothing. We are discouraged. But, we have hope. We still believe. Do you?<br />
<br />
4:55 AM I suspect the trouble is not enough people believe in Flunk Day. It is going to die because not enough people believe in Flunk Day! But if you would all just clap your hands, clap your hands as hard as you're able, maybe then Flunk Day won't die.<br />
If you believe--clap your hands!<br />
<br />
5:06 AM A car was seen driving down West St. It's FLUNK DAY! Also, *clap, clap, clap*<br />
<br />
5:33 AM It is, almost definitely, not Flunk Day. FML.<------- Rotund alumni is saddened, but happy you sprats will have Flunk Day in warmer weather.<br />
<br />
5:42AM But I just saw Pam Schuller walking outside in a green shirt. Surely she wouldn't be a part of a scare this early on the day of her defense if it wasn't actually FLUNK DAY!?!?!??!<br />
<br />
5:50AM It should be noted that the Hotline says today is not Flunk Day. <------ so does Campus Safety<br />
<br />
5:52AM Flunk Day????????????<br />
<br />
5:54 AM Not flunk day according to campus safety, my email, facebook, common sense.<br />
<br />
5:57 AM Flunk Day more or less ruled out for today. Which raises the question: when?! Tomorrow, Thursday, is unlikely and Friday is a virtual impossibility. So we have to replay this elaborate process of speculation, expectation, recapitulations next week? What did Mister Romano's suggestion that Flunk Day was coming sooner than we expected mean? It was a lie. A gosh darn lie.<br />
<br />
6:02 AM Fuck whoever was in that scare, going back to bed. <---- it was mainly residents of p-house wearing last year's friar shirts. it was targeted towards the first-years (aka quads area)<br />
<br />
6:14 AM Flunk Day, much like the cake, is a lie.<br />
<br />
6:20 AM Well, that was a boring scare.<br />
<br />
6:55 I have Flunk Day blue balls.<br />
<br />
7:25 AM Flunk Day officially does not exist.<br />
<br />
9:55 AM Super IMPORTANT AND TRUE --> Viki is typing "THE FLUNK DAY RULES" email! it should be in your inbox soon!!!!<br />
<br />
^Can we get confirmation? This could be huge.<br />
<br />
11:58 Your mom is huge. But no flunk day rules email yet. Inclined towards skepticism given the credibility of most information on wikifire.<br />
<br />
2:11 PM Rules email has arrived. <-----we got confirmation. it is huge.<br />
<br />
2:27PM (author of 9:55AM) --> There was a reason I used the word TRUE ;)....<br />
<br />
====Some fun statistics====<br />
On an average Tuesday, the Wiki Fire receives 6,000 or so "requests" (any command to the server) and 3,500 page requests. On Tuesday, April 28, there were 142,903 (see the attached graph) and 43,744 page requests.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Requests.png]]<br />
<br />
If you crunch that, it's an average of over 105 Wiki Fire server requests per Knox student, or over 32 pages viewed per student.<br />
The "Flunk Day 2009" page has been viewed nearly 16,000 times just on its own.<br />
In the history of the site, "Flunk Day 2009" has been viewed three times as many times as the entry "Knox College".<br />
<br />
I suppose if I were doing an independent study on "viral" media in a small community, this would be the case study of a lifetime.<br />
<br />
Someone should find out if the number of incomplete assignments went up Wednesday... [[User:Tfooq|Tfooq]] 21:09, 29 April 2009 (CDT)<br />
<br />
===Thursday, April 30===<br />
<br />
So its Thursday. What does that mean for those members of the Knox community who can't wait to get piss drunk, baked, and then laid all within the first 23 minutes of their day? It probably won't happen today. Don't be completely crushed, 'tis possible, but [[Flunk Day 2008]] was on a Thursday which doesn't boast well for those predicting April 30th. Moreover, the trick of sending the rules e-mail out the day before was tried for [[Flunk Day 2006]], and it proved unpopular with many (although that year there were no major scares, whereas there have been several this year). NOTE: 2 of the past 3 years the rules email was sent out the day before; will this year make it 3 of 4? The golf team will be away at a conference, and the baseball team has two away games...which, frankly, doesn't mean shit. But, if you've been paying attention to the action on campus, you know that its probably not today. The baseball games against Beloit tomorrow are not on the midwest conference website (http://www.midwestconference.org/baseball/schedule.asp), although they are on Beloit's (http://www.beloit.edu/bucs/news.php?category=baseball). One must remember that Dean Breiteborde used to work at Beloit, though. The golf conference is on the midwest conference site (http://www.midwestconference.org/mgolf/schedule.asp), but it doesn't list who's going to be there.<br />
<br />
Umm...the baseball game is on the midwest conference schedule (look under non-conference schedule) and Knox will be at the golf conference (http://www.midwestconference.org/mgolf/2009/MWC_MG_CP_09.pdf). Doesn't prove anything but just to get some facts straight.<br />
I dont want flunk day anymore. So annoying.!...I was hoping it'd be today........when the hell is flunk day?<br />
<br />
Do you know what jobless means? <br />

<br />
Wed, 7:56 PM: Has Xavier scared you away from the Wiki Fire? The safety e-mail is out, people! Get on the case! IS Pam really gone to New York City? Where is Jenny Davis? Where are the potential Friars? What's going on around town? The mailroom? Union Board office? Events Calendar speculation?<br />
<br />
Get to work! And if you can't report, then start digging the mud pit.<br />
<br />
We the Raptors support Rome. <br />
Raptors support Egypt! -- http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51HQDCPDT4L._SL500_AA240_.jpg (beat that Rome)<-- now thats what you call archeological evidence. Raptors are here to support Egypt during Flunk Day (or any other day)<br />
<br />
Stop talking about the raptors. I am not a first year and I have a sense of humor, but this joke is so dead a raptor could have eaten it <-- raptor attempting to hide behind a recursive call to non-raptorness.<br />
<br />
Dean Romano might be a Raptor...or maybe not. :S<br />
<br />
10:07 PM Flunk day is not tomorrow. go to bed. <---can we get confirmation? this could be huge <--Know who's huge? Sam Martone. You know what I'm talking about.<br />
<br />
10:14 PM: Two students in quads just told by Pam that tomorrow is Flunk Day.<---Flunk day is always tomorrow<br />
<br />
11:18 PM: Rabid possum spotted outside of Post obviously a harbinger of Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
11:22 PM: No one thinks that Flunk day is tomorrow. Obviously Flunk day is tomorrow. <----- You are so right.<br />
<br />
Sam Martone has returned to making his status updates consist of obscure song lyrics, instead of fake flunk day announcements. This must mean flunk day is tomorrow. This could be huge.<br />
<br />
12:03 AM- Drunk Randy Geary tried to call Ashleigh Honaker '06 to tell her it is Flunk Day. He really called Ashley Witzke.<br />
<br />
12:14 AM: 80% chance of thunderstorms tomorrow (today). Flunk Day ain't happenin'.<br />
<br />
12:44 AM: People keep telling me that Flunk day is for real going to be tomorrow. Can anyone confirm anything? <--- if they can, it could be huge.<br />
<br />
1:09 AM: It's not Flunk Day. Go to bed.---Can you confirm? THIS could be huge. ---That's what your mom said last night... <- nice dude, nice. ۞<br />
<br />
1:12 AM: Entertainment company truck ("Human Foosball ... Mechanical Bulls") spotted in Knoxville parking lot! Huge! <-- CONFIRMED: cellphone video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu_moia-oVI <------------- Saw that coming twelve miles away. Seriously though, people, this is the internet; pics or it didn't happen. <-- do people even like that video? it's awful. ۞<br />
<br />
1:47 AM: It's raining, flunk day, this could be huge, etc.<br />
<br />
2:07 AM: It's gonna rain today and tomorrow, no flunk day for you guys this week. Maybe Tuesday? o.o<br />
Furthermore, this shit is hilarious: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQm7YpxgOnA <br />
۞<br />
4:16 AM: Xavier Romano seen evaporating back into his magic lamp after granting three wishes. None of the wishes involved invoking flunk day. The three wishes centered around drugs, munchies, and dissapearing security guards. <--- I can haz confirmation?. This could be huge. <--- Like your erection. I get it. <--- No, like epic. You stole my epic.<br />
<br />
9:57 AM I'm getting really apathetic toward classes because Flunk Day could always be tomorrow and I desperately need a day off. I hope it happens soon or my grades will start suffering.<br />
<br />
===Friday, May 1===<br />
<br />
12:56 AM: Cuz you noobs don't know how to make a new header. Also, today is Flunk day. ۞ Can we have confirmation? This could be huge<br />
<br />
1:10 AM: No signs of Flunk Day. No speculations. Clearly it's today.<br />
<br />
1:16 AM: Kids (cute Bob and friend) digging up mud pits outside quads.<br />
<br />
1:53 AM: I'll save us some time: xavier, 4 ft. bong, velociraptors, pam is drunk, pics or it didn't happen, this could be huge. okay, go to bed.<br />
<br />

Further indication that, statistically, Flunk Day will fall within this week.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Sunday, May 3===<br />
In a smoke-filled haze of poor judgment, Xavier txted a velociraptor to explain that the administration had decided that, since Flunk Day is so disruptive to scheduled activities, classes, assignments and exams, it would make the most sense of all to hold Flunk Day over a weekend when no one would have to miss anything important. The veliciraptor promptly ate the phone to destroy all evidence. Friars already getting schwasted in preparation. <br />
<br />
===Monday, May 4===<br />
<br />
The annual Safety Email was strangely defensive about activities that may go on concerning Mondays. Given that May 4 is, at the time of this writing, the next successive Monday, one might be suspicious. Key evidence:<br />
<br />
# Fact: There are food service deliveries on Sunday evenings during Spring Term.<br />
# Myth: Flunk Day can never take place on a Monday or Friday...or can it?<br />
<br />
Discuss?<br />
<br />
Not evidence at all; both of those statements appeared in last year's email, and probably appear every year. <-- Fair enough. But it's worth keeping in mind. It is also worth noting that Flunk Day HAS occurred on a Monday in the past.<br />
<br />
There are two away baseball games set for Monday, appearing on both team schedules. Baseball has been screwed over in the past, but it is doubtful they will miss out on another Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
The housing lottery for large apartments is scheduled for 7pm on this day. We all know how happy Craig Southern would be about having to reschedule the lottery due to Flunk Day. <----- If there's one thing we all should have learned this term, it's don't mess with housing.<br />
<br />
However Craig Southern loves flunk day. <----- Kelly Hogan was not mentioning Craig Southern when she commented on Lindsey Snyder's status. She was referring to Craig Choma (another theatre professor) who is a Knox alum.<br />
<br />
IMPORTANT: Flunk Day has been renamed Flernk Day in honor of people with seasonal allergies (weaklings) who cannot properly pronounce it. Carry on.<br />
<br />
I was working in the caf the other day and heard the kitchen staff talking about how much they'd get paid if they worked on Flunk Day. I didn't hear everything/could've misheard, but they did say something about Monday... idk, worth mentioning I suppose.<br />
<br />
Greg W., janitor of the upperclassmen side of Post, heard it will be this Monday.<br />
<br />
Last week, Professor Matsuda informed the students of his Japanese 210 class that "the last translation work is due Monday, May 4, 2009, ''whether or not it is Flunk Day''."<br />
<br />
Time to start looking for clues!<br />
<br />
Sunday, May 3rd, 7:32pm. Pam, Ginny Graves, and Jenn Snider seen walking towards Tompkins (apartments) together - presumably going to the residence of Snider, who lives in Tompkins. Graves carrying books, and all 3 carrying bags/purses and complaining of being stalked. People don't carry their purses around unless they're doing something important or they're pretentious. Pam is not pretentious. Flunk Day is tomorrow.]<br />
<br />
Worked in the Caf today, kitchen staff are convinced that Flunk Day isn't tomorrow. Especially since the food for Flunk Day hasn't been delivered... but remember that Xavier said they get deliveries on sunday night...<br />
<br />
10:00pm Pam overheard speaking of above 7:32 incident. also, Pam loves to be rick rolled.<br />
<br />
10:12 pm Randy Geary seen ordering a #2 meal in the Gizmo, as opposed to his regular Firestarter. Clearly this is a sign that Flunk Day is in fact (not) tomorrow. Don't ask why.<br />
<br />
Also, the Political Science Department is bringing in a job candidate today. 99% sure no one in their right mind would let a prospective professor wander through campus on Flunk Day. <--- not so. english department did it about 6 years ago.<br />
<br />
10:11 pm: Tomorrow is not Flunk Day. Do your homework, go to bed, and stop stalking Pam. <--- Killjoy. (not about the Pam stalking)<br />
<br />
12:40 AM: Pam is laughing at and taunting the mud-pit laborers. Has she no decency?<---Have you no decency, sir? At long last? Have you no sense of decency?<br />
<br />
1:20 AM [[Jill Bergantz]] talked to [[Donald Rogers]], who talked to [[Pam Schuller]] and heard she was going to bed. Donald told Jill he believes Pam, and Jill told me she believes Donald. Can this telephone game between seniors prove true?<br />
<br />
1:44 AM Pam is having flunk day in her room right now. I can hear it. Jealous.<br />
<br />
2:15 AM Lavinia Karl and Elisa Hilderbrand are seen leaving SMC. Lavinia is staggering and appears to be intoxicated. What momentous occasion could warrant this unprecedented event? Clearly, today is Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
2.28 AM Just saw a pack of midgets walking through campus dressed as pirates. it has to be flunk day<br />
<br />
2:33 AM just had sex dream with a pack of midgets and Xavier dressed as elmo. <--Were Xavier and the midgets partaking of the sex, or are these unrelated details?<br />
<br />
2:50 AM Xavier Romano is a furry? This could explain everything. Or nothing. <br />
<br />
2:52 AM I love how no one is even bothering to speculate that its flunk day tomorrow. You're right in not doing so, of course.<br />
<br />
4:59 AM Birds are singing, and I am still doing homework. Flunk Day would be a welcome surprise. The anticipated Flunk Day scare will not.<br />
<br />
5:13 AM A request: Could the Flunk Day scare make its way all the way over to Exec? I could use a reason to be distracted. (Or could Flunk Day make its way all the way over to Exec? Because that'd be sweeeeet.)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
===Tuesday, May 5===<br />
Tuesday, May 5<br />
<br />
"El Dia de Flunk" is for sure a convincing sign that Flunk Day could happen on this day, but Xavier is not the man to drop hints. Clear schedule yes, but perhaps we are being short sighted. We can be sure that Flunk day will not happen on a Thursday (as the day of happening tends to vary from year to year) so the prospect of Tuesday cannot be denied. However the likeliness is lessened because of the Karen Hawkinson is running an event. Don't cross Karen Hawkinson.<br />
<br />
It is nearly certain that an apprehension of Pam, wherein she becomes inebriated and is subject to a fair amount of nitrous oxide, will reveal if May 5th is the day.<br />
<br />
Jon Wagner mysteriously changed his ANSO 231 field trip to Cahokia from this day to the following tuesday due to an unexplained conflict..<--This is not true. The trip was always scheduled for the following Tuesday. Also, they are going to Dickson Mounds, not Cahokia.<br />
<br />
Let's keep in mind that there is an art department field trip to Chicago on this day, and that this trip is planned in accordance with flunk day (at least, that's what has been the case every year before this one). Mark Holmes also told his Art 351 class that the Art Dept. made sure that Flunk Day was not on this day, as it would cost the Dept. thousands of dollars if students did not go on the trip (as buses are rented for the trip.)<br />
<br />
<br />
Also, Tri Delta has the Oak Room reserved for their Pansy Dinner in which many alums are coming in. Honestly, this is a serious event and why would Dining Services book this day if it was Flunk Day? The dinner was scheduled after Flunk Day was planned, meaning Dining Services would have known they would not be available to cater the dinner because they would be busy with the all-campus picnic meals. Tri Delta requested this week for the dinner, and Dining Services finalized the day. Clearly they would not have chosen Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
4/29, 2:54 PM: It may be a fluke, but there was a DOUBLE NEGATIVE in the Safety Email this year... I quote.<br />
<br />
Myth: Flunk Day and Cinco de Mayo are not one in (sic) the same...get a clue! <br />
<br />
Which translates to:<br />
<br />
Fact: Flunk day and Cinco de Mayo are one and the same...get a clue! <br />
<br />
Whoa. Confirmation? Check your email, Knoxians. This could be huge.<br />
<br />
How is that a double negative? <-- "Myth .... not" is logically similar to "Fact .... is".<br />
<br />
I spotted this, too, and emailed Xavier. Here is his response.<br />
<br />
"Hmmm...excellent point. I have to reflect on that.<br />
Best and thank you!<br><br />
Xavier<br><br />

Hello,<br><br />
While I am excited to see the Myths/Facts/Rules email go out, I have one concern:<br><br />
"_Myth_: Flunk Day and Cinco de Mayo are not one in the same...get a clue!"<br />
The way this statement is constructed suggests that it IS a myth that FD and CdM are <br />
NOT one and the same, thus insinuating that Flunk Day is in fact on Cinco de Mayo this <br />
year. As one of the many who believe Cinco de Mayo is not Flunk Day, can we get some <br />
clarification of this myth (or is it supposed to be a fact)?<br><br />
Sincerely,<br />
Sam Martone, '11"<br />
<br />
Take from it what you will.<br />
<br />
12:46 100% confirmation from Professor Gilbert that Flunk Day will absolutely NOT be tomorrow owing to the very real Art Department field trip to Chicago. That is all.<br />
<br />
<br />
8:30pm Are we really assuming that one field trip will stop all of Flunk Day? The field trip could still go on with Flunk Day - we just don't know if anyone will still want to go. Sports games have gone on - surely field trips to Chicago will too. Greg Gilbert does not speak for all of us!<---Anyone who would not allow Greg Gilbert to speak for them on any and every subject is a veritable Fool.<br />
<br />
Come on people! Where's your faith?! Hasn't anyone been stalking Xavier today? Have we any plans to drive around at 2 am looking for mysterious trucks parked at the Vista motel? I demand that we stay up all night speculating and not doing our homework! Where are all the first years insisting Xavier's messages of "El Dia de Flunk" meant something!?!?! Why aren't they all drinking at this very moment? We want Flunk day! Go out (or keep updating here) and show that you want it! <--------- The point is that the field trip was scheduled around Flunk day. It's not that Flunk can't be Tuesday because of the field trip, it's that the field trip is Tuesday because it is not Flunk day.<br />
<br />
<br />
9:46 pm. The Environmental Racism field trip was scheduled way in advance in 2007, yet Flunk Day fell on that day. The Art Department Field Trip was scheduled like two weeks ago. Either way, I'm totally down for it being tomorrow.<br />
<br />
9:55- Santa is real. Flunk day is tomorrow.<br />
<br />
10:30 pm - a lot of people have been saying that Pam is drunk.. a lot. Could it be that Pam carries around a flask at all time snickering to herself about how many people she is throwing off the flunk day trail. Also, if there still is said field trip, I have been told a lot that you don't fuck with the art department.. you just don't *shivers*<br />
<br />
10 37 : Confirmed motherfuckers..THE ART FIELD TRIP IS STILL ON.. flunk day is not tomorrow<br />
<br />
10:34 pm- G Gilbert JUST emailed me about class stuff, and if the art field trip was canceled he would have mentioned it. <--- if they announce tonight that the trip's canceled, its practically a give-away that tmr is flunk day...too easy<br />
<br />
10:50 PM I have received a message from God (http://www.titane.ca/igod/): "All signs point to Yes." Tomorrow is Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
10:55 p.m. - Sam Jarvis is an asshole. He texted a bunch of people "hasta manana" to lead people to believe that tomorrow is flunk day/cinco de mayo style.<br />
<br />
11:12 p.m. - Bored from lack of velociraptors. Flunk Day must be tomorrow or death from boredom will ensue...<br />
<br />
11:23 p.m. - Emus have gained the ability to fly. <---This could be huge! <---Get the snipers into position, they are taking over.<br />
<br />
11:48 p.m. - Emus have kidnapped the president's daughter.<br />
<br />
11:57 p.m. Velociraptors spotted sporting sombreros on Cherry Street. One was mustachioed and in a poncho. Indication of Flunk Day tomorrow? or just some velociraptors getting a head start on their Cinco de Mayo celebration?<br />
<br />
12:09 p.m. Nick Paul Craig says its Flunk day tomorrow. Woohoo <-- It's AM not PM. fool.<br />
<br />
12:11 a.m - John Schlaf sends out e-mail alerting the campus to reports of a malicious collaboration between emus and velociraptors. Flunk Day cannot be held until the situation is under control.<br />
<br />
12:13 a.m. - Lights are off in mail room, to early possibly, boy and girl hooking up outside of mail room, clearly a sign of Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
12:17 a.m. - God Damn those two have been at it for two hours. Get a room. <-- it appears to be Sam Jarvis and Pam. This has been confirmed.<br />
<br />
12:32 a.m. - REPORT FROM GROUND ZERO - THE PAM SCHULLER SURVEILANCE TEAM ALPHA: Pam is sitting on her couch next to a ginger, watching the Daily Show and eating mac 'n cheese. This has been thoroughly confirmed three times.<br />
<br />
12:36 AM - A new addition to the DSM: Flunk Day Blues, a specified form of Depression. Characterized by crabbiness, loss of motivation, exhaustion, an a tendency toward self-medication with drugs and/or alcohol. Has been observed to worsen when under the following conditions: Nice weather, an increased number of incidents of provocation of symptoms, or living with the flunk day planner (esp. when said planner is a midget).<br />
<br />
12:38 a.m. - Good work Alpha Team! Your losses were not in vain. Beta Team, what is your status?<br />
<br />
12:41 a.m. - Kelby Okada seen through apartment window looking at porn with Derek Hayes. It is flunk day<br />
<br />
12:48 AM - ALPHA TEAM UPDATE: Minutes ago Pam announced her intent to retire for the evening and get some much needed shuteye. She then entered her bedroom. She has not emerged since.<br />
<br />
12:52 a.m. - I am convinced that this site will not predict Flunk Day. Since the entire administration knows about the site, they know what we're planning, and if the past is any indication, they'll go to any lengths to make Flunk Day a surprise. For example, they now know that we check parking lots in Galesburg -- I'll bet they have the trucks stop in Monmouth or Kewanee or Peoria. Long story short, you never know when Flunk Day is going to happen -- give up. Also, Flunk Day is tomorrow.<br />
<br />
1:00 am - Chris 'Mittens' Johnson, 'Big Baby' Ben Bowers, Muneer 'Moony Blues' Rizvydeen, Jonjon 'Jipper' P-R, Cassie Jordan, Cassie 'Socks' Versaggi, Kelly 'Romantic Linguist' Kriegshauser and Jack 'Raptor' Moore are seen grilling in the courtyards of the Quads. It's Flunk day.<br />
<br />
1:01 am - On a pop tart run to the quickie many many bottles of booze filled the shelves. Many empty boxes littered the ground behind the counter. Upon questioning the clerk became very shifty and nervous. She spouted off a story about how many believe that the day is today but that there is an art field trip and the art department would be mad. Do people really talk that much with hte clerks or has the flunk day staff gotten to them?<br />
<br />
1:52 am-- Duffy's bartender said that it was definitely Flunk Day today because there were Knox students in earlier in the night who commented on coming in at 7 am when they open. <------------ totally flunk day!!!!! <----this is the 9th annual chicago art field trip pre-game. Also, Steve works on Mondays and he's too tanked to remember details like this anyway.<br />
<br />
2:50 am - Someone keeps deleting this page. Possibly a cover up (or Flunk Day has been abducted by aliens). <--THIS COULD BE HUGE.<br />
<br />
<br />
2:58 am- Someone has been deleting this page. I came on half an hour ago and there was nothing under tuesdays date. Very suspicious. Left seymour at 2:09 am and saw three cafe ladies leaving the cafe through the rear exit. There is activity in the cafe and there is definitely cooking going on inside...you can smell it outside. Flunk Day?<br />
<br />
3:15 am - due to projected thunderstorms wed and thurs, if flunk day is this week it is most likely today.<br />
<br />
3:51 am- just drove down henderson street and their are 3 semi trucks hiding behind a gas station...two located in the sirloin stockade parking lot...3 in the hy-vee parking lot...one behind the YMCA....didn't look anywhere else....are they here for FD 2009?? I think so! :) <--- Pics to confirm?<br />
<br />
4:12am - wao... really? I think it would be really mean to the art field trip if it's today. ... ( even though I do wish it is today)<br />
<br />
4:54 am - um.. I wanna know more Flunk day news. Anyone has any?<br />
<br />
5:10 am - employees and a few weird girls in capes scuffling about. OM dark. Dark as it gets. Also locked. Campus empty, no trucks, no sounds. And the final nail falls into the Tuesday coffin.<br />
<br />
5:19 am - the train is mocking us. Oh well. At least some of us get to sleep in. :)<br />
<br />
5:31 am- the email would be drifting softly into our inboxes soon...in the alternate universe where today was Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
===Wednesday, May 6===<br />
I've found the old page in the history:<br />
<br />
THUNDERSTORMS PROJECTED. look here for wednesday's forcast: http://www.weather.com/weather/wxdetail/USIL0439?dayNum=1&from=36hr_topnav_undeclared <br />
<br />
8:19 AM Okay seriously, lets get this straight. THE WEATHER PLAYS NO PART IN DETERMINING THE DATE OF FLUNK DAY. Again, THE WEATHER DOES NOT MATTER. They pick the date way back in like february. So thunderstorms don't mean shit<-------This is false, Weather does play a part. True, many days are chosen early in the year, however, two days before a chosen date the weather is checked...if there is projected awful weather, then that day is cancelled. Two days before Wednesday, (Monday), the weather was projected as Thunderstorms on Wednesday and Thursday. <br />
<br />
-- Whoever wrote this is a dumb ass. Only one day is picked. It's not Wednesday, but that is NOT because of weather.<---Oh, snap! + '''11:25 P.M. (Tuesday) I have recieved a phone call that tells me with 95% certainty that today will be the day of flunk. Get ready! GO! GO! GO!!!!!!!!''' -XZ<br />
<br />
-- I think it's a generally accepted mater of lore that more than one potential date is selected each year due to the unpredictability of future events. While this is sensible, childishly calling someone a dumb ass without presenting logical and reasonable proof is simply immature. If you believe only one day is picked against the greater logic of the lore, state your evidence in such a way that it can be confirmed or denied. Otherwise, save name calling for the sandbox.<---Double snap! <br />
<br />
-- On the issue of weather and Flunk Day, and this is from the mouth of Ginny Graves. They have a tentative date in February and by March they have confirmed the date. That is to say, the date is set in March. They don't do thirty day weather predictions, weather isn't part of the planning.<---If this is true, that kind of sucks. We've got showers and t-storms in our predictions until next Wednesday, less the weekend. <br />
<br />
-- Tuesday, 2:22pm: Received the following text from a friend: "I just heard a caf worker in the loading dock say, 'tomorrow is the day....'" Concern: caf workers aren't supposed to know until the morning of. Could just be more speculation. Or not about Flunk Day. WE SHALL SEE. Caf workers have said that they know the day before or the morning of.<br />
<br />
Anyone notice that an email was sent out to seniors asking for applications for friars? Obviously if they're just now considering who to be friars, it's not until next week.<br />
<br />
Email sent out to the senior dist list:<br />
<br />
From Jenn Snider: <br />
<br />
Attention Seniors: <br />
Think you should be a Flunk Day Friar? In order to make the selection as fair as possible, we want you to tell us why you deserve to be a Friar! Let us know how you're involved on campus, what you'd bring to being a Friar, and anything else you think we should know! Creativity is encouraged! Submissions should be no longer than one paragraph and must be received by Friday, May 8 at noon. To apply, DO NOT HIT REPLY! All submissions MUST be sent to jsnider@knox.edu to be considered.<br />
<br />
It seems very suspicious. <br />
<br />
Alternative theory: the email is an obvious (and somewhat heavy handed) red herring. Perhaps, another trick to make people think its not this week! This theory would suggest taking applications for friars (a position for which seniors are normally chosen) is similar to the Leadership Retreat held last year. <---- I bet they already know who the friars are, but its just to pretend they are trying to make it fair so people don't bitch when they aren't a friar.<br />
<br />
Blood Drive doesn't matter. They've scheduled Flunk Day the same day as a blood drive before. <----- this blood drive was planned months in advance, way before they picked the day for Flunk Day---the blood drive does not show up when searched for:https://www.givelife.org/index.cfm?group=home&advsearch=1<----- Checked, doesn't appear!... Smells a little flunky! <--- False, you should all look more closely. It's online right here: https://www.membersforlife.org/midamerica/mobilesch/bdc_zip.php <--- In addition, the rooms were booked in NOVEMBER, before Flunk Day was probably scheduled. Not saying they wouldn't screw over the Blood Drive, just saying APO had the day first. <br />
<br />
Executive Apartments: Loud music and 40 oz. drinking going on! They know.. Flunk Day is tomorrow! They also know... it's Cinco de Mayo today!<---- None of the party goers or debaucherists were from Mexico... get a clue! <----- they were drinking because its the first day with out baseball!<br />
<br />
Last year, the art department kids knew the Flunk was coming. It was a perfect storm: pooled resources, enormous social circle, two buses full of people with nothing else to do but sleuth for three and a half hours. At 7 PM, the art kids will once again board the buses. I say we put them to work. <br />
<br />
Dean Bailey's official prediction: WEDNESDAY, MAY 6. <br />
<br />
<br />
7:49 p.m.: Caf. workers confirm that food shipment has come in and Flunk Day is tomorrow. Can you confirm? This could be huge <br />
<br />
<br />
8.17PM : The African American worker at the cafe was smoking a cigarette. I asked for one, since i was jonesing and was a bit intoxicated. he smiled at me after giving me the cigarette and said "Hope you ready for tomorrow fool". it has to be Flunk day!<----Do you mean Keith? Or did you just want to clarify that none of the white women workers would say "fool"? <br />
<br />
The Knox-Sandburg Community Concert Band's Spring Concert is schedule for Wednesday according to Knox's website, but it's scheduled for Thursday according to the Register-Mail (http://www.register-mail.com/stories/022609/CAL_BJ9OQK50.GID.shtml) ...but it also has the dance show scheduled for Wendesday and Thursday.<--Um, that link takes you to the march calender. try this one: http://www.register-mail.com/stories/042309/CAL_BJQOH2UG.GID.shtml where the schedule STILL doesn't show the concert! Also, no one care about missing one dance show when there are multiples. <--- tomorrow night is the final dress rehearsal for the dance show. everyone involved still has to go to the rehearsal, even if it's flunk day, they just won't have an audience. so this doesn't matter. flunk day is tomorrow. <br />
<br />
<br />
8:53 pm - Friar application e-mail came to seniors today. Applications for Friar status are due Friday. More simply, Flunk Day cannot happen this week. Thank you and good night. <--- I'm willing to bet my left testicle to say that this was written by Jenn, Xavier, Pam, Ginny, or some other Flunk Day Planner. <-- These applications are very new, by which I mean there has been no such thing until this year. It does make the process seem pretty suspect...<--- Friar applications are clearly an attempt to throw us off. A pretty bad attempt, I might add. Did they really think this would fool us? <br />
<br />
Just an update: Ginny has said several times that people who go out looking for "suspicious" things in Galesburg (i.e. trailers, amusmant rides, etc.) are wasting their time. They are not keeping anything in Galesburg. We can look at this two ways: 1) If you go for a 2am reconaissance run and don't see anything, it could still be flunk day, or 2) she is just trying to keep people from going on 2am reconaissance runs, and there very well may be some suspcious additions to the grand city of galesburg.<br />
<br />
<br />
9:03 pm A friend who works in the C-Store just heard from a customer that the caf just got a HUGE SHIPMENT!!!!!!! <br />
<br />
<br />
9:06 pm - There is some sort of meeting going on in the Centel Lab in GDH right now. They appeared very suspicious and stopped talking when I walked by.<-----CAN WE GET CONFIRMATION, THIS COULD BE HUGE!!!!! <--- No one with a functioning neuron would plan a "super-secret meeting" in a wide-open building during hours of moderate traffic. <-- It is true in fact, as the door is closed and there were only 10 people in the room + 1 member of the Knox faculty. <br />
<br />
<br />
9:06 pm- Interesting you should say you talked to an "African American worker" outside the cafe today.... cuz i did too! and sure enough i was a little loopy myself. Besides that common factor, we also share the fact that he told us BOTH that tomorrow was the real day of flunk, and to get my shit done, cuz it's about to get KRAZY <br />
<br />
<br />
9:11 pm- Mary Todd just sent me a picture text holding up six fingers, so, I can only assume that those fingers refer to the 6th of may, flunk day. <--- Or June 6, just to throw everyone off. Or she's looking for the six-fingered man that killed her father 20 years ago. <br />
<br />
<br />
9:24 PM: Sam Jarvis walked by me in the library. Flunk Day is tomorrow. <br />
<br />
<br />
9:35 PM: I jizzed in my pants. Flunk Day is tomorrow. <br />
<br />
<br />
9:43 PM: Cafe workers spotted in the cafe in normal clothes working around 9pm. very suspicious. also, quit posting lame ass flunk shit so we all know if this is real. no one cares whose in the library or been eaten by raptors. <br />
<br />
<br />
9:45 PM: Pam let me know that she just shaved her legs. Flunk day. And if its not I am going to start blowing things up. <br />
<br />
<br />
9:46 PM: Jenn Snider is in the gizmo buying a snack, looks like she is working another late night in the Campus Life Office. <br />
<br />
<br />
9:48 PM: Xavier sent the following: <br />
<br />
The rumor mill is alive and well surrounding Flunk Day and this will only add fuel to the fire... <br />
<br />
Velociraptors have been spotted hanging with of all people Roger Taylor. I know that it is much to comprehend and that many of our impressions of "The Rog" are totally thrashed. Evidently, a 'Raptor was seen walking the first floor of Old Main looking for the Dean of Flunk. All of a sudden President Taylor accosted the said 'Raptor thinking it was a prospie. President Roger then attempted to recruit same 'Raptor - now Prospie - for the entering class. Imagine an offensive line of 'Raptors for the Prairie Fire football team. Yeah...cool! <br />
<br />
But what does this have to do with El Dia de Flunk which was clearly NOT Cinco de Mayo (not a real holiday in Mexico anyway...remember that. Just a the minor battle of Puebla!)? Everything...and nothing. Nothing and something. The impo ssible and the improbable. I had far too much caffeine today, sorry. In the land of the Flunk one does what one can, yes? <br />
<br />
So...did I mention H1N1? Remember to wash your hands...no bodily contact is probably the best idea don't you think? And contrary to rumors there is absolutely NO case of this nasty flu on the Knox campus...none...nada...zip...zero. Consider this your public service announcement and remember to wash all appendiges (in case of 'Raptors) on El Dia de Flunk. <br />
<br />
Be afraid Knox students...be very afraid as the day of Flunk comes to us all sometime this May. There...now you have a hint!LOL <br />
<br />
10:07 PM: Except! This email is totally fake! Look at the font! This does not scream Dean Del Flunk! And why was it not sent through Vicki's email? (<--- because emailing duties aren't required of her at 10pm on a Tuesday night?) Do we really think our beloved Xavier would misspell "appendages"? I call shenanigans! THAT E-MAIL IS TRUE, YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVEN'T CHECKED YOUR E-MAIL RECENTLY Or, some of us are just quite gullible. And I thought Knox taught us to think critically. <br />
<br />
im a friar on my iphone. we have been taken, its tomorrow. no joke. <---BS. Pics, &c. <---Friars are traditionally collected at midnight on the Eve of Flunk, at which time their phones are taken from them and turned off so that they cannot send messages such as these. This is why, if you call them after midnight on Flunk Day, it will go straight to voice mail. Just FYI. <br />
<br />
10:30 p.m. I heard from Kate McManus that the girl she tutors from Silas Willard called and told her that they will not be meeting tomorrow (Wednesday) because it is flunk day. Kate responded by telling her, that they still may be able to meet because as students, we don't know when Flunk Day is. However the girl was told by her teacher at Silas Willard that the volunteers won't be coming becuase of Flunk day. The blood drive is canceled. I know all this because I'm Kate's roommate. Flunk Day is DEFINITELY tomorrow! Text Kate if you don't believe me. <br />
<br />
10:40 p.m. Is not flunk day. But come join me and let's get stoned. thank you. <---Your treat? Where should we meet? Maybe Xavier will read this and bring his 4-foot bong. <br />
<br />
10:50 Kate and Arianna went to get juice as mixers at the C-store for tomorrow. Flunk Day is DEFINITELY tomorrow! Text Kate, she's actually getting pumped. <br />
<br />
10:54 PM: Large shipment of food being unloaded at the loading dock. <--- Pics or GTFO <br />
<br />
10:55 PM: Pic taken (uploaded 11:10PM) Grease truck <br />
<br />
10:57 PM: Call every Senior you know. If you cannot get in contact with someone, you can only assume they have been taken, and begin getting plastered. <br />
<br />
11:00pm TKS photographer set to take blood drive photos has been emailed that the Blood Drive is cancelled. IT WAS THE ONLY THING STANDING IN THE WAY OF THE FLUNK <- This affirmed from the photographer herself. BEGIN FLUNKING. <br />
<br />
11:04 According to campus safety the truck is to take away grease from the kitchen to be recycled. It didn't look like a food truck. <br />
<br />
11:07 Tomorrow will not be Flunk Day. It's Senior meeting at Big John's. <--Who the hell cares?<---Senior Meeting e-mails almost always go out the morning of. Perhaps the early notice is in some way tied to the incontrovertible fact that tomorrow is Flunk Day. <br />
<br />
11:10 Senior Meeting at Big John's? All the more reason: it's not only Flunk Day, but weekly senior Flunk Night! <br />
<br />
11:13 PM: According to people in post, Paige Barnum just received a text message from Xavier saying, "What rhymes with Skunk?" TOMORROW IS FLUNK DAY! <br />
Douche. <--agreed. <--- Thirded Douche. <--agreed. <--- Thirded<br />
<br />
WHERE DID ALL THE INFORMATION GO?!?! <---Some idiot decided to spam the page. <br />
<br />
11:15 PM: stop texting kate. just facebook stalk her and you will know what she knows. also, maybe i just really like juice.<br />
<br />
11:18 PM: That sure worked out for everyone. If there isn't anyone M.I.A soon, it's more likely that they will actually be "taken" tomorrow at the Senior meeting, making Thursday Flunk Day 2009. <--- Can't be Thursday. Dance Concert Performance. Flunk Day has fallen on Dress Rehearsals for Mainstage shows before, but never on performances.<br />
<br />
11:40 PM: Ugh! Stop being douchey and deleting everything. You're ruining the fun of this page!<br />
<br />
EMBATTLED STUDENT SENATE PRESIDENT BELIEVES FLUNK DAY IS ALMOST UNCERTAINLY PERHAPS NOT INDEED TOMORROW.<br />
<br />
11:57 pm - Wait, wait, it's not tomorrow! I've recently been in contact with a number of agents on /b/ and they've informed me that a senior Knox student payed 4chan to scam the Wiki Fire with bullshit claims about Flunk Day falling on any day before May 13th. Don't you see? Project Knoxology follows Project Chanology! <--- Any true /b/tard knows that it's been down all day.<--- Clearly, ''someone'' doesn't know about the real /b/.<br />
<br />
12:05 I spoke with [[Laura Jorgenson]] on the gizmo patio an hour and a half ago, and she is on a leave of absence. What is she doing here? When I asked her, she laughed and ran away. I yelled, and she kept running and laughing. Laura holds the answer. Spencer Kingam Graham can substantiate. That's some heavy proof.<br />
<br />
12:06 am - I'm going to snoop around, with low hopes. If you don't hear back from me, my body will most likely be in the "Prairie". Best Cover-Effort ever? :P<br />
<br />
12:09 am - Derek Hayes finally bought his Flunk Day stash. See you all in the mud pit.<br />
<br />
12:14 am - DESU invasion occurred, and was subsided. Some people are looking out for the betterment of the WikiFire. This could be huge.<br />
<br />
12:22 am - I accidentally the entire Flunk Day. <------BEST UPDATE EVER. memelol<br />
<br />
12:25 am - I saw Jenn Snider go into the Campus Life office. My body has yet to be disposed of on the Prairie.<br />
<br />
12:29 am - 2009: the year Flunk Day got Septembered.<---Wait, when hasn't Flunk Day been Septembered?<br />
<br />
12:30 am - Are those lights always on in the back of the Caf? <--- Yes.<br />
<br />
12:40 am - Founders lab is abuzz with gossip that Flunk Day is Tomorrow (Today). Many of the occupants have left in the middle of their papers.<br />
<br />
12:42 PM<--- am! FAIL: Have the Friars been taken yet? Start trying to contact seniors and report back!<br />
<br />
12:43 am - Campus Safety officer has come to Founders. I fear I am in imminent danger. My body may yet turn up on the Prairie. There may be a mole.<br />
<br />
12:46 am - Quickie lady asked upon the purchase of a 24 pack of Pabst Blue Ribbon if the purchaser was "stocking up for tomorrow" and mentioned that alcohol sales had been above normal for the past hour. <- This is a cause-effect piece of information though. No doubt the Wiki's suspicions have influenced the volume of alcohol consumption/purchases in the past hour or two.<br />
<br />
12:57 am - i see the school busssssssssss........ aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa <----------- this could be HUGE<br />
<br />
12:58 am - TKE Brothers are convinced it's Flunk Day. Of course, they are always convinced it's Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
1:00 am - I see the bus too...FLUNK DAYY<br />
<br />
1:00 am - Both of the links previously posted for the blood drive show nothing for today. The person who gave the second link where it supposedly showed up was clearly hoping no one would actually check, because THERE'S NOTHING THERE! FLUUUUUNNNNNKKKKKK!!! <---- not true. go search for zip code 61401 and 10 miles out and knox college comes up. https://www.membersforlife.org/midamerica/mobilesch/bdc_schedule.php?page=zip&pdistance=5&zip=61401&did=188281&region=2<br />
<br />
1:02 am - overheard a bits of a conversation inside P-House about planning a scare (yes I listened through the window). Planned trajectory: quads, post, apartments. Involving dozens of seniors. IT'S ALL FAKE. They are trying to pull of "the biggest scare in Knox History". It is not today. <---- Fo sho. I hear there is going to be a HUGE scare.<--- doesn't mean anything. It could still be flunk day<br />
<br />
1:05 am- Above poster is correct about blood drive. Check for yourself. https://www.membersforlife.org/midamerica/mobilesch/bdc_zip.php <----Link has the parameters of "midamerica", if you search by city, only three states come up, none of them being Illinois. <br />
<br />
No blood drive listed. <--- Do 10 miles. <----- tried up to 30mi, nothing came up<-- I was the "above poster" I checked again and it came up. Then I tried again a few times and it's not coming up anymore. Looks like the Red Cross site is having problems, or perhaps Xavier has infiltrated them is taking the page down periodically just to flunk with us. <-- click on this link https://www.membersforlife.org/midamerica/mobilesch/bdc_schedule.php?page=zip&pdistance=5&zip=61401&did=188281&region=2<br />
<br />
1:08 am - Conger has a water balloon sling. Good fun.<br />
<br />
^this picture is HUGE <-------- literally<br />
Anyone else think Helmut looks kinda sexy here? No? Yeah, I'm going to bed.<br />
<br />
1:18 am - Reputable Quad RA seen curled in the fetal position sobbing uncontrollably. It must be Flunk Day. (Noo Felicity! Why did you sleep with HIM? He doesn't LOVE you!!!) <---- Reputable RA needs a life <---- Trust me.... I'm your RA.<br />
<br />
1:35 am - This page has gone suspiciously quiet. Clearly everyone is convinced and have moved on from wikifiring to drinking. <--- Clearly, you are naive because Flunk Day clearly does not exist!<br />
<br />
1:42 am the TKEs are always drinking that doesnt mean its flunk day. also Dan pers isnt even on UB why would he be a secret planner?<br />
<br />
2:02am I wonder if Flunk day is really TODAY... can anyone tell me that they for sure know it's flunk day?? (with more concrete evidences)<br />
<br />
2:05 am - Has anyone done any contact checking, or are we just going to leave it at that?<br />
<br />
2:10 am - A guy was totally witnessed walking down a street.<br />
<br />
2:12 AM: OK, I was in Wal-Mart at 11 PM (do not ask questions, blindly accept) and I saw at least 5 or more Knox students there.<--- it does not really mean anything, does it?? Knox Student go to Wal-Mart quite often ... <-- buying booze and mixers on a Tuesday night? Really?<---Have these people never heard of Hy-vee?<br />
<br />
2:15 am - POSSIBLE SECURITY BREACH! I just checked the properties on that picture of Helmut supposedly leaving the caf around 1:10. It says it was taken on 4/30/09 at 10:21 am. What is more, it was not taken with a camera phone at all (as the graininess of the photo would suggest) but rather with this camera, http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-DMC-FX01-Compact-Digital-Stabilized/dp/B000EBOC9U, which ought to produce a quality picture. Is it possible that someone among us, skilled in the finer arts of photoshop image darkening and noise distortion filters trying to flunk with us? <--- It looks 'shopped. I can tell by the pixels, and from having seen a few 'shops in my day. <-- slow shutter speed and high ISO would create this even on a good camera. And this is not photo shopped the lines where the bar crosses his leg are too crisp and precise for someone to be able to do that. <-- I DON'T THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE TO TALK ABOUT HELMUT'S FINE MAN-LEGS ON THE INTERNETS <-- Haha. Also, in my original comment I was not suggesting that he was pasted in or anything. Just that the picture was darkened and that noise was added. This has nothing to do with crisp bars. Furthermore, how do you explain the picture being taken on 4/30/09 at 10:21 am!?! <--------could be that the date was not set correctly in camera to start with. also the ceiling lights that light up the back wall. i would imagine they wouldn't be on during the day and trust me its not easy to photoshop those in there. also, if you look at the shadow casted by his body on the ramp, its pretty natural and blended in with the rest of the ramp. but if u think about it, the ramp faces west, in order to cast a shadow on the ramp like this the sun would need to be in the west sky at 10:21am...hmmmmm. <-- Yeah, I did notice the lights, but still, I dunno. Also, just looked back at the properties and the iso was 320 and the shutter speed 1/8 sec. <------ but also notice f/2.8 here. upon testing it with this exact combination(iso 320 1/8 at f/2.8) on my camera under not so ideal lighting, the picture seemed reproducible <---For fuck's sake, you all sound like you're discussing the Zapruder film or something. <--- Just mad cuz ur photoshop skills are the weakest of sauce.<br />
<br />
ITSSS FLUNK DAYYYYYYYYY AND IVE PUKED 3 TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <-- Freshman<br />
<br />
2:52 A.D. Flunk day pit is completely dug. Much thanks to residents from Elder, seymour, and whatever that building is in front of the mudpit. FLUNK ON DUDES!<br />
<br />
....................flunk day god............i need u...............................<br />
3:34 AM Bob Cassens claims that 'Glen' a TKE and a friar, has let his housemates know that today is the day. Fuck all living things if it is not the day.<br />
<br />
4:01am TKS just updated their website predicting that today is flunk day...now this IS huge LINK:http://www.theknoxstudent.com/newsroom/ <--- does TKS know???<br />
<br />
4:31 TKS finds out when the rest of you find out. The Flunk Day edition was printed a long time ago at the Register Mail and sits waiting for the Friars. The website changes were prepped months ago but TKS is just guessing in a rather clever attempt to become more relevant as a news-breaking rather than news-reporting media outlet.<br />
<br />
4:56am um.. flunk day scared? or is real flunk day????? @@ <- I Don't know, but I'm hearing a lot of yelling. No email yet tho... (also wondering how much im going to regret staying up til 5 if it's not...sonofa...) -XZ<br />
<br />
5:13 am - Can anyone explain to me what this flunk day thing is that everyone is getting worked up about?<br />
<br />
5:20 am- a large group of guys, possibly Betas, were seen near the Asian Culture House. they we're putting on shirts, probably, flunk day shirts! Also, some seniors were seen carrying grocery bags to the same location!<br />
<br />
5:37 a.m. Friars on the move.<br />
<br />
5:41 a.m. It's fuckin flunk day biotches!<br />
<br />
5:44 a.m. lots of noise. No email? No Bell?<br />
<br />
5:48 a.m. seriously where is the email?<br />
<br />
5:52 a.m. sorry kids, Knox just has a very organized, active senior class who put on a massive scare. today is not the day.<br />
<br />
5:56am. the email usually comes at 530am/>?? is this just a big flunk day scared?<br />
<br />
5:56 a.m. clearly not flunk day. go back to work.<br />
<br />
5:57 a.m. Helmet appears to be setting up the breakfast table, but nothing else is set up on campus (as seen through upperclass post window) Is it flunk day, or is Helmet just fucking with us?<br />
<br />
6:05 a.m. Xavier has sent the email, it is Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
Stop texting me!<br />
Stop calling me!<br />
<br />
YES...YES...YES...YES...it is the Day of Flunk...El Dia de Flunk...the day is here!<br />
<br />
Once again we enter into this mos hallowed of Knox celebrations and traditions...Flunk Day 2009. Have a great and SAFE day. Celebrate our distinctive culture and remember...the day is to Flunk!<br />
<br />
Happy Flunk Day 2009...and watch out for those 'Raptors...they stalk in the Prairie plot!<br />

<br />
7:50 a.m. - The entire senate exec board has been eaten by raptors so an impeachment is no longer necessary.<br />
<br />
11:50 a.m. - So can we get any definite confirmation on this whole flunk day thing?<br />
<br />
9:50 a.m. - is senior meeting still on?<br />
<br />
12:14 p.m. - Come on guys, it's just a scare, go back to bed.<br />
<br />
7:55 p.m. - I would like to enter for the record that the premise of the lead story of the TKS Flunk Day edition ([http://www.theknoxstudent.com/newsroom/news/knox-build-huge-ass-wall-between-college-and-commu/]) is suspiciously similar to a scampish edit I made to the Knox College entry on Wikipedia a full three and a half years ago ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Knox_College_(Illinois)&diff=prev&oldid=28638850]). Scandal!<br />
<br />
7:58 p.m. - Helmut almost hits me while driving really fucking fast down South St.<br />
<br />
11:40 pm - Mere hours ago, individuals in trucks and wearing "Event Staff" shirts witnessed near Seymour and Old Main. Can anyone confirm? THIS COULD BE HUGE.<br />
<br />
===Thursday, May 7===<br />
THUNDERSTORMS PROJECTED IN MAH PANTZ!!!!<br />
<br />
Someone deleted everything that was typed in for this day. This has got to be the work of the flunk day planners. Flunk day is on this day.<br />
11:34 pm Madeline Weiland, Sam Jarvis, and Elaine Wilson are studying for a physiology exam. Flunk Day! <--- Holy crap, a message from the Future!<br />
<br />
At roughly 10 AM on Wednesday a truck was spotted in the loading dock. Possible flunk day delievery?<br />
<br />
===Wednesday, May 13===<br />
<br />
Now that we all know Flunk Day was May 6, I think we can pretty much confirm it will most probably be May 13. Pam said so.<br />
<br />
What?<br />
<br />
Probably the last day Flunk Day could occur would be today. It generally does not happen this late (the latest it has been in approximately 6 years was Flunk Day 2007 on May 8th), none the less we know our friars like to feel original. They try to be tricky, we must always remember this. Some might say today isn't likely because of the NCAA Golf Tournament in Florida (Golf got screwed last year so they won't get screwed this year), however, it is important to remember that many a sports team has been royally fucked over in the past (see [[Flunk Day 2007]] and [[Flunk Day 2008]]). Additionally, there is a GRE prep course which barely matters (see Wednesday, May 6). In all likelihood Flunk Day will happen before this day, but we cannot rule it out. One thing is for sure, if you have not acquired the traditional alcohol stash by today, you're screwed.<br />
<br />
The events calendar was updated and Union Board now has an event on this day... possibly the night event for Flunk Day? <---- I noticed this too. It seems likely. <---True, but everytime Union Board has brought a comedian to campus this year, it's been on a Wednesday. I think it's just an event; not related to Flunk Day. <--- This is not just a COMEDIAN! This is a comedian that performs MAGIC TRICKS! Not only that, but he was named ENTERTAINER OF THE YEAR! (although no one quite knows who gave him that title). This is obviously a SPECIAL and UNUSUAL Wednesday!<----Holy shit, this better be Will Arnett!<br />
<br />
===Thursday, September 10===<br />
<br />
Xavier is just sneaky enough to have Flunk day next fall. The only event that day is convocation, which is likely just cover.<br />
<br />
==Conspiracy Theories==<br />
<br />
People, honestly, we can find SOMETHING on every day of the rest of the plausible Flunk Day dates that may mean that it can't be "that day." Obviously, somewhere along the lines, someone and/or something is going to get screwed over OR is fake. Deal with it. <br />
<br />
IMPORTANT FLUNK DAY UPDATE: NO, SERIOUSLY: OVERHEARD IN THE CAF FROM CAF PEOPLE: Flunk Day will NOT BE until after Mother's Day!<br />
<br />
There is quite plainly something in the water.<br />
<br />
It's Swine Flu. <br />
<br />
===April 27===<br />
Monday, April 27 was obviously a high-level scare organized by some high-level Flunkistrators. There seems to be, according to observations very credibly posted on this very page, evidence of vehicles moving around between parking lots. There would also seem to be evidence that this page is being watched, if not also doctored, by those very same Flunkistrators. Therefore, beware! They are watching us, the vigilantes, just as much as we are watching them!<br />
<br />
^Indeed. But the inevitability of Flunk Day means they can only hold out for so long. There are more of us than there are of them. Let's hope.<br />
<br />
Given the periodic whitewashing that is occurring regarding velociraptor sightings and the late Sherwood Kiraly, we are faced with a horrifying likelihood: the velociraptors have learned to edit wikifire.<br />
Or, more likely, people are annoyed at the fact that others are being really stupid about raptors where others are actually trying to figure out if it is flunk day. Half of the fun is the anticipation, and the whole velociraptors crap is just stupid and annoying. <----- Velociraptor sympathizer. <----- Or just a velociraptor.<---Either way, that person/dinosaur sucks. The raptor jokes and death of Sherwood Kiraly were hilarious. Shame they were erased. <---- Couldn't agree more.<br />
<br />
denied<br />
Yintense!<br />
<br />
===April 29===<br />
The data has been obscured and deleted numerous times. Of that we are certain. Whether this is due to penguins, velociraptors, tech-savvy Flunkistrators, or trollish first-years lacking in the "sense of humor" department remains purely speculative. <--- It's not trollish first-years, it's an inside job! WAKE UP, SHEEPLE!!<br />
<br />
Rotund alumni is staying at Knoxville Super 8 (which is technically a Galesburg Super 8) and there is one truck here: it says, plainly, "furniture". He is suspecting today is not Flunk Day, and will now take off to Chicago to continue his decadent junket.<br />
<br />
<br />
===May 1===<br />
Fieldtrip to Farmland CANCELED because of SWINE FLU. Obviously Xavier invented SWINE FLU as an ENORMOUS COVER UP. May 1st is FLUNK DAY. <---- ok first off, that was planned for thursday apr 30 and secondly, it wasn't a fieldtrip it was seven students going to the plant for a project. Stop being lame and go work on some midterms.<br />
<br />
Rumors of a Mos Def concert scheduled to be on campus Friday, May 1st. Last year Lucky Boys Confusion was used to cover up Flunk Day. Is the Mos Def Concert for real? Does anyone have proof? This could be huge. <--that is definitely false. they tried contacting him too late in the game.<br />
<br />
Off the hint of the velociraptor shenanigans being an inside job, the following was found: "velociraptor awareness day - April 17. on this day, you should remember those who have been killed by velociraptors, watch your children closely, make a floor plan of your house(complete with emergency escape routes), and warn your neighbors about possible velociraptor entry points(picture windows, screen doors, sliding doors, any doors that aren't locked, garages, and chimneys)" (wikiality.com/velociraptors) TOO LATE, INSIDE JOBBERS.<br />

It will undoubtedly address any of your concerns.<br />

<div>[[Flunk Day]] 2008 is officially May 1st!! It is also tomorrow.<br />
<br />
==Rumors & Scares==<br />
<br />
===Tuesday, Apr 15===<br />
ART/JOUR 218 graphic design students receive email from prof., re. a client project DEADLINE EXTENSION!<br />
<br />
Original deadline: May 1 (Happy Flunk Day!). Negotiated deadline: May 2.<br />
<br />
===Monday, Apr 21===<br />
Rumors point to Monday as a good candidate date. This is corroborated by the fact that the 21st is now tomorrow, and everyone knows that Flunk Day is tomorrow.<br />
<br />
However, one has to wonder whether the administration is really going to put flunk day right after [[420|4/20]]. <br />
<br />
Still, it might be worth it to throw off [[Ashcroft]] protests.<br />
<br />
===Tuesday, Apr 22===<br />
This date is likely for two reasons: first, the fact that it's Earth Day and the administration might want to disrupt festivities so that [[KARES|independently organized club events]] don't make the college's [[half-assed]] official [[sustainability]] efforts look bad.<br />
<br />
Second, the John-Ashcroft-is-a Hoax theory states that actually [[John Ashcroft]] was never coming at all, and that it was simply a massive hoax to throw people off the track of Flunk Day. Then again, they totally wouldn't have [http://www.knox.edu/x20087.xml advertised it to the public on the website]. But it would certainly explain why no [[senate]] funds were used to bring him and why such a big name came to Knox.<br />
<br />
===Wednesday, Apr 23===<br />
Flunk Day was not on Wednesday however the best Flunk Day Scare ever happened. At 4:30AM over forty seniors gathered in all black at old Sigma Nu. The group couldn't wait till 5:45 to begin because most of them had been drinking all night. So at 4:50 a group picture was taken (will be on the next senior meeting flyer). At 5:00 the group was off towards Post and the Quads. Most of the seniors doing the scare decided that if it was really Flunk Day no one would come out. However, one suite in the quads was so convinced that they got in their swim suits and started drinking. A few min later security came. The event ended near the apartments after waking Jenny Davis up. <br />
<br />
Pretty much everyone thinks it's Wednesday. It ''would'' be a good way to work off stress from john Ashcroft, and the weather prognosis is the best this week. But flunk day was probably planned long before weather reports came out.<br />
<br />
Roger Taylor canceled a meeting with a student for "no reason." When she asked to reschedule to Thursday, he said, "I don't think that's a good idea." <br />
<br />
A student was observed on the bench in the mailroom stuffing flyers that said "It's Flunk Day 2008!" on them into a manila envelope. I couldn't see a date, but what are the odds they do that way in advance?<br />
<br />
Meryl Leventen, Alex Clark, and Jenn Snider were seen at Walmart between 11:30 PM - 12:00 AM. They were not buying anything. Rumor has it that they were checking up on orders for Wednesday. How this rumor started, nobody knows.<br />
<br />
A cashier at Hy-Vee on Main St. told a Knox student that there was a large food order scheduled to be shipped out at an unknown date within April. When further questioned, he said to ask a Becca, a "red-haired girl who lives in Town House-B and frequents Beta", because she knows the exact date of this food order. However, there is no girl named Becca in Town House-B.<br />
<br />
===Thursday, Apr 24===<br />
[[Nick Kalmus]] thinks so.<br />
I heard they have a special order of a large quantity of food coming in Wednesday night. <br />
<br />
Rumor also has it that a professor was warned off of having a field trip on thursday.<br />
<br />
Also, Lucky Boys Confusion is coming on thursday. A band on a thursday is a bit weird, right? (Actually coming Thursday May 1st)<br />
<br />
Although, The TRIO achievement program spring banquet is Thursday, Apr 24 evening. TRIO is part of the student development staff and on flunk day, the TRIO staff works the water station, tell people with booze to get rid of it, etc. I would imagine TRIO has booked this date and requested flunk day not to be Thurs Apr 21.<br />
<br />
===Friday, Apr 25===<br />
Well, it's never been on a friday yet...<br />
<br />
===Monday, Apr 28===<br />
Xavier Romano's coy little wink in the official Flunk Day e-mail indicated that we may be on the verge of experiencing a Monday Flunk Day (because we know a Friday Flunk Day could very well send half of campus to the ER), but it's unlikely to be the 28th. An acrobatic and aerial dance company (AMEBA) will be on campus all week, and an historian is giving a lecture to the public on Tuesday, Apr 29th. <br />
The weather forecast is also terrible, with a chance of rain all day and temperatures dropping down to 0 degrees.<br />
<br />
===Wednesday, May 6===<br />
Some people are banking on this to be the day, if the weather is nice enough. However, this day has the Carlin Career Development Luncheon scheduled, so sadly its a no go. Hopefully it won't be the week of April 28-May2, because it is supposed to be cold and rainy.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Wednesday, April 30th===<br />
<br />
Is a legitimate Flunk Day possibility (the only one of the week).<br />
<br />
No way, the art field trip is that day. Too many students are going, the charter busses have been ordered, as well as the food. Also, the art department is cooler than the environmental studies department, so don't use last year's slip-up as an argument against this. FLUNK DAY IS NOT THIS WEDNESDAY!<br />
<br />
===Thursday, May 1st===<br />
<br />
Flunk Day is totally May 1st. (Unless it is raining, in which case I stand by the fact that it was supposed to be May 1st). This is a popular misconception that rain will move the date - it won't! Ask any professor that's been here for awhile, there have been plenty of rainy Flunk Days! Xavier sent e-mails to certain seniors inviting them to the "1st Annual Leadership Recognition Convention" held at Fun City. He advised these seniors to wear something comfortable, and to bring their ID's, since there will be a cash bar. It can be assumed that these are the friars, and they will be returning on campus Thursday morning to get us all up and drinking. Also, Lucky Boy's Confusion is on Thursday. DUH.<br />
<br />
Has anyone actually seen the email mentioned above? If so, why isn't it posted here?<br />
<br />
But! Caxton club is having a bigwig speaker that day, Sheryl St. Germain. Purchase orders were made and sent. But if they didn't do it before the Feb. 20 deadline, tough luck.<br />
<br />
Perhaps this bigwig knows what's up because this morning the C-store got their big shipment, which ALWAYS comes on Thursdays!! Always. I unloaded this Thursday shipment last term, so I'm sure about this. Coincidence? No.<br />
<br />
I was waiting near Xavier's office this afternoon (wednesday), and a lady from the business office hurriedly went in with what looked like some receipts, closed the door, and didn't come out for 5 minutes.<br />
<br />
Roger is gone tomorrow.<br />
<br />
The EMT kids know when flunk day is, since they might have to serve in the ambulance. Class tomorrow was mysteriously canceled.<br />
<br />
Try taking a walk out now (12:30AM). There are guys emptying the garbage, and theres some people in the mail room (although the door is locked). Seymour loading dock is pretty active for a weeknight, and something smells funny.<br />
<br />
There's nobody in the mailroom, but apparently the golf tournament was canceled.<br />
<br />
The golf coach sat the team down and told them that they would be missing flunk day for the competition and to get over it.<br />
<br />
Caxton club was canceled.<br />
<br />
The seniors at the supposed leadership conference at fun city in Burlington IA just now (12:34AM) went out to a club. Since it takes an hour to get back here...UM clearly...<br />
<br />
It would take way too many resources to fake a scare like this. On the other hand, if tomorrow isn't Flunk Day... damn. The Seniors are going balls-out.<br />
<br />
THE SITUATION ROOM: In an effort to substantiate all of the rumors flying around about flunk day, some people here in the TKS room are fact-checking to see what we know. Thus far, this is what we have on good authority.<br />
<br />
*Seniors gone: 100% certainty. As of 12:40, these seniors are still at a club for a leadership conference.<br />
*Cancellations: <br />
Caxton club (50% certainty) - two sources confirm that the speaker isn't going to talk tomorrow, due to failure to schedule the purchasing order and rescheduling to Friday. <br />
Golf tournament (80%) - Three independent sources have confirmed to us that the golf tournament is canceled.<br />
Environmental panel (80%) - The "only student on the panel" informed us that it was canceled.<br />
*Roger: Nobody knows whether Roger is gone or not (0% certainty)<br />
*Mailroom: (70%) There's been activity in the locked area surrounding the mailroom, but no activity spotted within the actual mail room.<br />
*EMT kids: (25%) Some EMT kids have confirmed their instructor's knowledge of flunk day, but they themselves can't confirm anything.<br />
<br />
I just got back from Taco Bell (Fourth meal baby..) The cashier guy said "Happy Flunk Day" (whatever that means). Also, I hear that some sort of prep is going on in the CAF. Dim lights are on and there are people inside doing something apparently.<br />
<br />
Big environmental studies panel just got canceled. (100% certainty) 12:55am<br />
<br />

===Xavier Romano's Coy Little Wink===<br />
XR's wink may just be a red herring, intended to make freshmen susceptible to all sorts of ludicrous Flunk Day scares. Possibly this is a genius move of strategery. The first-years could experience so many convincing scares that by the time Flunk Day actually happens, they won't believe it, and don't start drinking until the sun rises, reducing the number of injuries caused by sleepy, drunken pratfalls in the dark.<br />
<br />
In order to combat this heinous grievance against the inebriation of first-years, every Knox student should begin each day with a shot of liquor, just in case.<br />

"It's Polish week"<br />
<br />
Flunk Day has yet to happen during the week of the celebration of the Polish Constitution. Tomorrow is not Flunk Day. That is all.</div>CFG21http://thewikifire.org/index.php?title=Flunk_Day_2007&diff=30924Flunk Day 20072017-07-20T03:50:13Z<p>CFG21: Undo revision 30898 by 37.35.148.60 (talk)</p>

<div>[[Image:Flunk_day_board.JPG|thumb|300px|right|The Union Board in Seymour Union, 2007]]<br />
Flunk Day 2007 occurred on May 8!! But it is still tomorrow.<br />
<br />
However, Flunk Day 2007 is like Schroedinger's Cat: it is rumored to exist, and to not exist. In all reality, though, the [[Students For Flunk Day Truth]] Committee proved that Flunk Day does not exist.<br />
<br />
== Events ==<br />
<br />
<br />
== Tunak ==<br />
[[image:TunakFlunkDay2007.jpg|thumb|200px|The song started just as the Galesburg Fire Department responded to a fire alarm in [[the Quads]]. Instead of canceling Tunak, they kept it on the front lawn, right in front of the rather confused firemen.]]<br />
The [[Sigma Nu]] guys traditionally carried out the ceremony of the [[Sigma_Nu#Tunak|Tunak]] dance on Flunk Day 2007, albeit with an audience.<br />
<br />
== Weather ==<br />
For some odd reason(s), the weather of this day is a point of debate. Weather.com and the National Meteorology Society both record the temperature to be mid to high fifties with over cast and rain. The source of the debate, that it was actually warm and sunny, is part of a Developmental Psych class project. Professor Anderson challenged his students to change the "collective memory" of campus by insisting that it was warm and sunny. Consequently, it is the weak-minded that actually believe they remember the weather as being warm and sunny.<br />
<br />
===The Mud Pit===<br />
Residents of [[Conger 2]] and [[Neal 1]] dug up the mud pit and removed dangerous items such as ''shards of glass'' and ''metal shrapnel'' weeks before [[flunk day]]. Later [[facilities]] filled the mud pit with sand, but two students from [[Conger-Neal]] lay in the pit site to prevent the sand-filling. When members of the [[administration]] were summoned, the pair left. The event spawned a front-page article in [[TKS]].<br />
<br />
But the intrepid residents dug a large amount of the sand out, and moved the rest to the edges. [[Neal 1]] also bought over 20 bags of topsoil to load into the mud pit. Facilities took 7 of those bags, although 5 were later recovered by an undisclosed party. <br />
[[Image:flunk07protest.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Two residents of [[Conger-Neal]] protest the first sanding of the mud pit.]]<br />
<br />
[[Image:flunkday07aftermath.jpg|thumb|150px|left|The aftermath, further evidence that 1200 drunk college students equals the explosive power of 3 sticks of dynamite.]]<br />
<br />
The night before Flunk Day, [[Conger 2]] and [[Neal 1]] were made aware that Flunk Day was tomorrow when students spotted a truck with the teacup rides parked not far from campus. This was all the confirmation the group needed; [[Andrew Raridon]] and residents attached a hose to the faucet on the side of Conger to fill the mud pit while others filled trash cans with hot water from the showers. The sand in the mud pit loosened the clay-heavy soil leading to even more mud, and it's generally accepted that the sand did nothing but '''make the mud pit bigger.'''<br />
<br />
<br />
Around 6:00 AM facilities tried once more to shovel sand back into the mud pit but members of Neal/Conger '''dove in to the mud pit''' to save it. Soon after '''the entire school joined them.'''<br />
<br />
Some argue administration-deposited sand did more damage to the students' bodies than whatever had been in there before.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Conger-Neal]] will continue the tradition and persevere through any obstacles the administration erects.<br />
<br />
== Scares ==<br />
<br />
The scares of the 2007 season have been many, due to the fact that Flunk Day was late. Flunk Day was later this year than it had been in at least the last four years. It finally occurred on May 8. Sweet!<br />
<br />
=== Thursday, April 10 ===<br />
<br />
This scare was started with a single text message sent from Eric Langston to Jake Kuhnline. Eric Langston proceeded to convince Tom Fucoloro to send out an email to TKS and Graham Troyer-Joy to send out an email to WVKC regarding Flunk Day procedures. The rumor was further stoked by planting the "Is it Flunk Day tomorrow?!?" seed with select people within numerous organizations, which caused it to resurface and reinforce itself.<br />
<br />
The date may seem dubious, due to a number of factors. For one, the flunk day safety email had not yet been sent out, but due to the fact that in [[Flunk Day 2006|2006]] the safety email was not sent out until the day before (supposedly to prevent scares) it was widely rumored that this was simply a scare-busting tactic.<br />
<br />
The cold weather was also cited as evidence to support the date--[[Campus Life]] wouldn't have to worry about the mud pit, the logic went. <br />
<br />
Likewise, nobody would have their stash of [[alcohol]] yet, and [[students]] wouldn't be able to get [[drunk]] until stores started selling liquor at 7 am.<br />
<br />
None of these propositions proved true, and the scare was widespread enough to merit the following email from [[Xavier Romano]]:<br />
<br />

:Every year I wonder if I need to send this not out but, alas, some wonderful first-years have asked if Flunk Day scares are an "excused absence" and the answer is--as always--a resounding "NO."<br />
:<br />
:So remember that Flunk Day scares are neither encouraged nor are they grounds for an excused absence--so go to class!<br />

<br />
Some people thought the Chinese Ambassador wasn't really coming. But Paige Harrison said he was, because [[Anne Taylor]] bought new cups, and would not lie to her about something like that.<br />
<br />
[[Roger Taylor]] informed [[The Knox Student]] about the Ambassador's visit about a month ago, so it was, in fact, very unlikely that his visit to the campus was simply a giant ruse.<ref>[http://www.knox.edu/x16350.xml Knox College to Host Chinese Ambassador to U.S.] from the official Knox College Web site</ref><br />

=== Monday, May 14 ===<br />
A [[Flunk Day]] organizer said it was two weeks after the first planned date.<br />
<br />
==Actual date ==<br />
<br />
Flunk day 2007 occurred on May 8. Here follows the official flunk day e-mail.<br />
<br />
This is it...FLUNK DAY 2007...FINALLY :-) More Myth vs. Fact...<br />
<br />
Fact...TODAY (Tuesday) is in fact Flunk Day 2007!<br />
<br />
Myth...Prof. Larry Breitborde, Academic Dean, will cut his hair and shave his beard on this day of Flunk so as not to be confused with the late Jerry Garcia...<br />
<br />
Fact...The Mud Pit is DANGEROUS...Reports yesterday noted that glass, rocks, and other nasty things are in the pit including pieces of a suite telephone. Please remember that the mud pit is NOT a part of Flunk Day and if you go in you do so at your own risk...<br />
<br />
Myth...or Fact...The Friars are a part of history - we shall see!!!<br />
<br />
Fact...Flunk Day is great fun for one and all...<br />
<br />
Take care of one another and welcome to Flunk Day 2007...remember<br />
that it is up to all of us to keep one another safe and have a great time!<br />

"The Official Day of Flunk!"<br />
<br />
Besides the friars, [[Ellen Vessels]] is rumored to be one of the first students to get "official" word that it was Flunk Day as per a text message she received from Dean [[Xavier Romano]] early May 8, before the e-mail was sent. In the message, Dean Romano explained that the e-mail system wasn't working, and instructed Ellen to spread the word. <br />

<br />
===Rumors For===<br />
His Excellency, Zhou Wenzhong, the Ambassador of China is supposed to stay overnight Monday. This is, perhaps, unlikely for a man of his stature. It is hard to imagine the Chinese Ambassador staying in the Best Western Prairie Inn.<br />
<br />
Additionally, [[Maddi Weiland|Madeline Weiland]] was also asked to babysit for professor Jason Helfer as he claimed to be hosting the Chinese Ambassador for dinner on Tuesday, however, he has since canceled these plans.<br />
<br />
A student had a friend call from Colorado and tell the [[Office of Admissions]] that she was visiting [[Augustana]] and [[Monmouth]] on Tuesday, May 8, and she was wondering if she could come by [[Knox]] and get a [[tour]]. Reportedly, admissions responded by saying, "Uhhh, no, that won't work out." When the student asked why not, they said, "Well, Tuesday is our spring carnival; we call it [[Flunk Day]]."<br />
<br />
===Rumors Against===<br />
The [[Environmental Racism]] class has a very big day trip to Chicago scheduled May 8, and it could not be canceled. 28 of 40 students went. The schools' administration refused to disclose that it was on Tuesday to the professors who had asked months in advance whether Tue 8th may was going to be flunk day. When it was rescheduled after the April 30th debacle the class' trip was not taken into consideration. <br />
<br />
The [[baseball team]] has an away game May 8 against [[Grinnell College]] that has been rescheduled twice already. (This could be for or against. Basically, if someone says, "It can't be [[Flunk Day]] Tuesday because the baseball team has a game," you can respond that it was already rescheduled twice so it could still be [[Flunk Day]] because they rescheduled it and may not have been able to avoid it.)<br />

<div>Flunk day 2006 was way too early.<br />
<br />
[[Xavier Romano]] sent out the safety email the day before Flunk Day (some say to preeempt scares) leading to rumors in [[Flunk Day 2007|2007]] that Flunk Day would happen before the safety email was sent out.<br />
<br />
Some people found out about it ahead of time because [[Union Board]] stuffed mailboxes before the [[mailroom]] closed.<br />
<br />
Also, the Polynesian fire dancers got canceled because it rained. And ''8 Below'' had to be held in the field house. [[Graham Troyer-Joy]] didn't go because he once had to sit through that movie on a plane and he thought it sucked then too.<br />
<br />
Flunk Day 2006 was the last real Flunk Day because it was the last Flunk Day with [[Friars]] and [[karaoke]].<br />

<br />
Knox College in Galesburg, IL holds a day of flunking every year. It flunking rocks. <br />
<br />
''See [[Flunk Day 2017]] for info specific to this year''<br />
<br />
<br />
Flunk Day is tomorrow.<br />
<br />
Flunk Day is an annual event at Knox College where, by surprise, all classes are canceled. A day's worth of carnival-like activities are planned.<br />
<br />
The first Flunk Day of record was May 11, 1922, but the tradition of a student-initiated spring festival dates back to the early years of the 20th century and "Roughneck Day" -- which was the conclusion to "Roughneck Week," when the men didn't shave and both men and women students wore ragged clothing.<br />
<br />
== Secrecy ==<br />
<br />
=== Date ===<br />
<br />
There is always speculation about [[the]] date of Flunk Day. Some people say the date moves depending on the weather or whether students already know it's Flunk Day. The logic behind this notion goes that if too many people know it's Flunk Day before the date, they will get [[drunk]] the night before and be more likely to get [[alcohol poisoning]] during the day.<br />
<br />
This notion may just be an effect of the scare-letdown dynamic that the speculation creates for students. Some say that the date for Flunk Day is fixed from the beginning.<br />
<br />
=== Planning ===<br />
<br />
A subcommittee of [[Union Board]] plans Flunk Day, and only the select members on the committee know the date. In [[2007-2008]], the two coordinators of Union board were [[Meryl Leventon]] and [[Alex Clark]] and Pam Schuller was the secret planner. <br />
In [[2008-2009]], the known planners were Alex Clark, [[Whitney Mackie]], [[Ginny Graves]], and [[Pam Schuller]].<br />
In [[2009-2010]], the known planners were Ginny Graves, [[Britt Anderson]] (co-coordinators), [[Jenni Nefzger]], and [[Martha Baumgarten]]. Please ask them when Flunk Day will be held.<br />
<br />
Select members of the College Staff, mostly in the [[Office of Student Development]], know the date.<br />
<br />
===Flunk Day Does Not Exist===<br />
Let us start with our assumption: Flunk Day is a surprise. We can see that this assumption is indeed reasonable as we do not know when Flunk Day is to occur. Now let us just suppose that Flunk Day were to happen this week. Then suppose that we got to Thursday without Flunk Day happening. Knowing Flunk Day happens this week and that the current day is Thursday, we could conclude that Friday must be Flunk Day. But such a conclusion contradicts the assumption that Flunk Day is a surprise (seeing as we would know when Flunk Day would be). So we now know that Flunk Day cannot happen on Friday. <br />
<br />
Now suppose we made it to Wednesday and Flunk Day has not yet happened. Building off of what we just proved, Flunk Day could not be any day other than Thursday. But alas! This too violates our assumption that Flunk Day is a surprise, eliminating Thursday as a possible Flunk Day. <br />
<br />
Now suppose the current day to be Tuesday and Flunk Day has still not happened. Since we know that Flunk Day is neither Friday nor Thursday, we would then be forced to conclude Flunk Day is on Wednesday, which is a violation of the assumption. If we made it to Monday and it were not yet Flunk Day, it must be on Tuesday! But alas, this too leads to a contradiction and thus we know Flunk Day cannot be on Tuesday. If it isn’t Friday, Thursday, Wednesday, or Tuesday, it must be on Monday! But this too is a contradiction, and thus we are forced to conclude Flunk Day is not this week!<br />
<br />
Please note that the logic given can be applied to the entire year if Flunk Day was not this week (ie If we make it to the second to last day of this term with no Flunk Day, then we would know Flunk Day is on the last day, but that would violate our assumption and thus we would know it cannot be on the last day. Suppose we get to the third to last day… etc.) Now, we can logically conclude one of two things:<br />
<br />
1. Flunk Day is not a surprise<br />
2. Flunk Day can never happen<br />
<br />
Dean Romano strongly insists that Flunk Day will be a surprise each year. Thus, logically, the second statement is the truth.<br />
<br />
<br />
Also See [[Students For Flunk Day Truth]]<br />
<br />
The problem with the logic.<br />
<br />
Assume we know that El Dia de Flunk is to occur on a weekday of a given term. Assume also the nature of the day is 'surprising,' but not unknowable.<br />
<br />
Situation 1). If we get to the 29th of May and the last chance for Flunk day to occur is the 30th, then Flunk day is no longer a surprise but still exists, as its date is knowable.<br />
<br />
Situation 2). If it is the 28th of May, then the presuppositions have changed, and the result is that Flunk day may or may not occur on the 29th or the 30th (50/50 chances). However, if Flunk day does not occur on the 29th, then we must resort to Situation 1. If Flunk day does occur on the 29th, it is still Flunk day, because there is a chance that Flunk day could occur on a knowable day, but that its suprising nature would be lessened.<br />
<br />
Situation 3). If it is the 27th, Flunk day may occur on the 28th, 29th, or the 30th (in which case there is a 33.3% chance that it will occur on any one of those days). If Flunk day does not occur on the 28th or 29th, then we must resort to Situation 1. If Flunk day does not occur on the 28th, then we must resort to Situation 2. If Flunk day occurs on the 27th, the surprise still exists because there was a chance that Flunk day could have occurred on the 28th, or could have occurred on that knowable day.<br />
<br />
etc.<br />
<br />
There are other situations in which the date of Flunk day becomes more or less knowable:<br />
<br />
1) Flunk day clues on Wikifire increase the knowability of Flunk day, and decrease the suprisability<br />
<br />
2) Flunk day hype decreases the knowability and increases the suprisability.<br />
<br />
3) Flunk day lies/rumors on Wikifire decrease the knowability and increase the suprisability.<br />
<br />
4) Flunk day inside-tips increase the knowability and increase the suprisability.<br />
<br />
5) Drinking decreases the knowability and increases the suprisability.<br />
<br />
6) Pulling all-nighters decreases the knowability (and the functionality) and increases the suprisability.<br />
<br />
7) Spying increases the knowability and has no effect on the suprisability.<br />
<br />
8) Blasting "Like a G-6" has no effect on anything.<br />
<br />
9) Procrastination has no effect on anything.<br />
<br />
You can change your Flunk day experience, and thus the nature of Flunk day by using these situations to change the knowability and suprisability of Flunk day.<br />
<br />
FLUNK DAY EXISTS, albeit in many forms.<br />
<br />
== Scares & Speculation ==<br />
<br />
=== The Safety Email ===<br />
<br />
At some point during every spring term, someone in the administration sends out an email with a list of safety precautions regarding the coming Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
In [[Flunk Day 2006|2006]], the email was sent out the day before Flunk Day (some say to preempt scares) leading to rumors in [[Flunk Day 2007|2007]] that Flunk Day would happen before the safety email was sent out.<br />
<br />
=== Flunk Day Scares ===<br />
<br />
Most years there are one or more [[Flunk Day scares]]. Some scares are intentionally instigated and perpetuated by a student, or more commonly, a group of students. Some scares occur spontaneously, when a given date is widely [[Rumor mill|rumored]] to be Flunk Day. Scares may be corroborated by a variety of evidence.<br />
<br />
The earliest known flunk day scare occurred during the Flunk Day 2010 season. On September 29, 2009, three weeks into fall term student Allison Buccalo spotted tractor trailers parked outside her off-campus house. Following the sighting multiple students were found digging out the mud pit before being instructed by Campus Safety to "go to bed".<br />
<br />
=== Lawn-mowing ===<br />
<br />
This piece of evidence has been cited both ways. The grass being mowed the day before a candidate date has been cited as evidence as well as the grass ''not'' being mowed. Xavier Romano says they mow the grass every day, which would take care of at least half of this criterion. Lawn-mowing is also epidemiologically linked to contracting [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tularemia tularemia], a potentially fatal zoonotic disease caused by aerosolization of rodent remains infected with the bacterium ''francisella tularensis''.<br />
<br />
=== The [[Mailroom]] ===<br />
<br />
The night before [[Flunk Day 2006]], [[Union Board]] stuffed student mailboxes early enough that students were able to discover the items before the [[mailroom]] closed. Some say precautions will be taken in the future, but lights on a closed mailroom have been cited as evidence on at least one occasion.<br />
<br />
=== [[Friars]] ===<br />
<br />
In past years, evidence of [[friars]] being picked up (a van driving around campus, sudden absence of seniors) has been cited. However, for 2007, friars will be alerted the morning of Flunk Day, eliminating this criterion. In 2009, senior students were invited to be part of what was a massive Flunk Day scare but turned out to be FLUNK DAY ITSELF!! It was so clever. Two freshmen girls almost managed to pass as seniors and be Friars too, what with all of the confusion, but they were caught in time and the tradition remained sacred.<br />
<br />
=== Flunk Day [[TKS]] ===<br />
<br />
The staff of [[TKS]] do not know when Flunk Day will be. They try to get the Flunk Day issue of the newspaper finished early in the term so that they will be ready to distribute it when El Dia del Flunk occurs, but the completion of the paper does not indicate Flunk Day's arrival. In past years, the Flunk Day issue of [[TKS]] has not been ready on the actual date, and has had to be distributed later. <br />
<br />
=== [[Wallace Lounge]] ===<br />
<br />
This is the secret, secret litmus test of Flunk Day. It is such a strong indicator that I don't want to reveal it in its entirety. But once it happens, Flunk Day is tomorrow, without a doubt. <br />
<br />
== Confirming Flunk Day ==<br />
<br />
=== The Hotline ===<br />
<br />
If you don't have access to your email, you can also dial the flunk day hotline at '''x8008''' to find out if it's Flunk day. This is not the most reliable source, however, as in both [[Flunk Day 2006|2006]] and [[Flunk Day 2007|2007]] the hotline had not changed its message by the time the campus was woken up.<br />
<br />
=== Campus Safety ===<br />
<br />
If you have only ever used the extension *7979 to get someone, anyone, to please unlock the door to your room, you are missing out. Though they will be reluctant, they will always answer truthfully to the question "Is it Flunk Day today?" However, they are trickier than you think. If it is not Flunk Day, they will tell you. If it is Flunk Day, they will tell you to wait for the e-mail. A good way to make the question legitimate is to say you live in the quads and that loud drunk seniors have woken you up. An excellent resource at 5 in the morning when you feel like getting muddy and Knox Wireless takes forever to load your email.<br />
<br />
=== The Flunk Day Email ===<br />
<br />
On the actual morning of Flunk Day a staff member, still to be determined for [[2009-2010]], sends out an all-campus email letting everyone know that it is, in fact, the real Flunk Day. This is really the only reliable means of determining whether it is Flunk Day, or just a [[Flunk Day scare]].<br />
<br />
In 2007 the email was down at 5:30am. Fearing that students would not believe it was really flunk day without the official email, Xavier Romano sent a text message to Ellen Vessels confirming that it was indeed flunk day.<br />
<br />
In 2013 Deb (bless her heart) was running late and thus so did the email. More stubborn members of the campus almost missed out on the earlier mornings. Thank goodness for more stubborn friends, eh?<br />
<br />
== Flunk Day Activities==<br />
{{Main|Flunk Day activities}}<br />
<br />
There are many traditional Flunk Day activities.<br />
<br />
The day starts with the entire campus being waken by the [[Friars]], a group of seniors selected to start Flunk Day. The first activity most students engage in is drinking, this usually continues through the day for many. In the morning, students enjoy a [[mud pit]] and [[foam pit]] to the sounds of a DJ. During the afternoon (usually after a [[Flunk day nap|nap]]) the lawn south of [[Seymour Hall]] has inflatable carnival games and karaoke. In past years, some students have also enjoy a bike ride to [[Lake Storey]], though this activity was missing from the [[Flunk Day 2007]] schedule. <br />
<br />
All [[meals]] are served outdoors on Flunk Day. Though one year breakfast was held inside and there was a squad that stole a giant tub of cookie dough ice cream.<br />
<br />
((Bon Appetite is doing weird schtuff and rumors of the Gizmo being open are circulating. Sounds like a terrible plan, imho))<br />
<br />
==Flunk Day Issue of ''[[The Knox Student]]''==<br />
{{Main|Flunk Day Issue 2007}}<br />
<br />
Each year [[TKS]] comes out with a spoof issue of the newspaper. In 2005 and 2006, the spoof issue of the paper had not been produced yet so it was not in mailboxes the morning of as usual. In 2007, the paper was produced and printed well before May 8 and was drunkenly collected by many students. Controversy arose, however, due to the nature of the front page headline which read "[[Jesus Fucking Christ]] to speak at 2008 commencement." [[President Taylor]], [[Xavier Romano]], and [[Larry Breitborde]] called a meeting of the ''[[TKS]]'' editorial staff to discuss the issue. At the meeting Roger delivered a speech in which he expressed his thoughts. On the following day, he issued an email to the campus.<br />
<br />
== Controversy ==<br />
<br />
===General===<br />
Flunk Day is the source of much controversy because many students get very [[drunk]]. Every year, somebody (or somebodies) gets hurt and goes to the hospital. Every year, people say that Flunk Day might get canceled. The rumor spreads easily because the injuries and alcohol use are a liability for the college.<br />
<br />
However, Knox President [[Roger Taylor]] stated in an article in [[The Knox Student]] that only about 100 people drink excessively on Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
He is almost definitely wrong. Or his understanding of what constitutes 'excessive' drinking goes well beyond even students' standards of inebriation.<br />
<br />
=== Students For Flunk Day Truth Committee===<br />
In the weeks of long anticipation leading to [[Flunk Day 2007]] an underground committee of an undisclosed number of dedicated Knox students founded the [[Students For Flunk Day Truth]] Committee. A response to the campus-wide mass hallucination known as "Flunk Day," two harrowingly truthful documents, posted in two waves, were printed by the hundreds and posted about campus to educate the campus at large. However, as the truth came to light in the morning hours following the 3 a.m. postings of aforementioned articles, posters began to vanish in what was likely an administrative decision to silence the truth.<br />

Welcome to the '''Knox Survival Guide''', your portal to necessary information about "making it" at [[Knox College]]. Some of this you will learn during [[Orientation Survival Guide|Freshman Orientation]]. Some of it you won't.<br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
<br />
It would perhaps be most useful to get some basic bearing on where you are and why you are there, and who all these people are around you. It's good to be a quick study.<br />
<br />
To start off with the most painfully obvious, [[Knox]] is a small [[liberal arts college]] located in Western Illinois, which is part of the [[Midwest]]. There are 1420 [[students]]. <ref>[http://www.knox.edu/x700.xml Knox Fast Facts]</ref> And you are stuck here for what may seem like an extraordinarily long time, about as long as a [[President of the United States of America|presidential administration]]. Added to them are several dozen members of the [[faculty]] and a number of [[staff]], both [[Administration|administrative]] and rank-and-file. The town of [[Galesburg]] is home to around 33,000 [[people]] and a fluctuating number of [[train]]s. The trains will undoubtedly be one of the first things you notice, and you will notice them several times an hour for several months, until you don't even notice them anymore. You know how they say that people can learn to live with anything? That is [[the Knox Experience]]. Apparently it was [[Copy Editor|copy-edited]] out of the [[admission]] brochures.<br />
<br />
This article makes much reference to cardinal directions to place items of interest. For those of you used to [[Denver|mountains]] and [[Chicago|city skylines]] as reference points, just remember that [[Old Main]] faces north, towards downtown Galesburg.<br />
<br />
Also keep in mind that this guide was written around the inception of The Wiki Fire and edited completely randomly and largely anonymously since then. Basically, be the clever aspiring Knox students we all know you are when reading this.<br />
<br />
==Your Fellow Students==<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Of the 1392 students at Knox, maybe half come from the state of [[Illinois]]. The bulk of those come from [[Chicago]] and its various [[suburb]]s (mostly the [[Outside of Chicago|suburbs]]). Generally, when meeting a person, if they don't say what state or specifically what neighborhood in Chicago he or she is from, you may as well cut to the chase and ask them what Chicago suburb they're from to save time. Those of you not from Chicago will soon learn the names and relative locations of all the suburbs. According to the [[The official Knox website|Knox website]], 14.1% of students live within 100 miles of Knox. This includes a number of Galesburg natives and [[non-traditional student]]s with Galesburg residency, as well as students from [[Peoria]], the [[Quad Cities]], and the [[farm]]s and [[small town]]s of western Illinois and eastern [[Iowa]]. The rest of the Illinois students come from places like [[Rockford]], [[Carbondale]], and other regions of northern, southern, and central Illinois. The local and non-Chicago Illinois students seem to comprise a remarkably large percentage of [[athlete]]s and possibly the majority of [[Beta]]s. <br />
<br />
Beyond this, there are numerous students from surrounding states: [[Wisconsin]], [[Iowa]], and [[Missouri]] are the primary contributors. After Chicago, [[St. Louis]] and [[Kansas City]] may be the best-represented cities at Knox. There are a number of students from rural areas of these states as well.<br />
<br />
Outside of the four-state area, the majority of American-resident students are from various sizeable cities. While for the more local students academic or athletic reputation was a significant consideration, for the rest [[financial aid]] often took precedence. Distant but well-represented cities at Knox include [[Denver]], [[Albuquerque]], and [[Portland, Oregon|Portland]] ([[Oregon]]). Beyond the seven states so far mentioned, there are forty-one more states and territories currently sending students to Knox. These students are sad and all alone in the world. Comfort them. Instruct them in the relative fashionableness of Chicagoland's area codes (unless you actually want to make friends during orientation). <br />
<br />
We mustn't forget also the substantial set of [[international student]]s coming to Knox. These students have come looking for an American [[education]], and are on the whole able to pay for it. Some question might be asked as to why they would choose, out of hundreds of schools, Knox, but as Knox has made a special effort to attract international students one can make some assumptions. Generally, the largest sources of international students seem to be tropical western [[Africa]] (especially [[Ghana]] and [[Nigeria]]), [[South Asia]] (especially [[Nepal]]), [[Southeast Asia]] (especially [[Vietnam]]), and eastern [[Asia]] (especially [[South Korea]] and [[Japan]]). There are several students from [[Europe]], and one combination student and graduate [[teaching assistant]] from [[Germany]] each year. Many of the European students, as well as some of the others, are children of American diplomats or businesspeople.<br />
<br />
Knox is said to be very [[diversity|diverse]]. Though this is true, the administration really likes the Chicagoland area. Like, a lot. It's almost sad that the most diverse experience some people have is at a school of only around 1400 undergrads, but most Knox students manage to cope with this sad state of affairs somehow. Those that can't at least have a wonderful new topic for their Honors project on Post-Colonialism. <br />
<br />
===Academics===<br />
<br />
Knox touts its distinction as the best liberal arts college in [[Illinois]], a state that, to be fair, has a fairly weak history in the liberal arts. After all, the [[Chicago|City of Big Shoulders]], which back in Knox's time was a relatively uncultured creep of Midwestern industrial growth and centralization, required a meat-and-potatoes sort of higher education system, and there were certainly plenty of well-established schools [[East Coast|further east]] for nancy English majors. Knox has, however, done fairly well for itself, placing somewhere in the seventies each year on the ''[[U.S. News and World Report]]'' rankings. It often garners good ratings in the [[Princeton Review]], and is a perennial favorite of the book ''[[Colleges That Change Lives]]''. Knox is quick to note whatever accolades it receives, and you can find them quoted [http://www.knox.edu/x703.xml here].<br />
<br />
Quantitatively, 75% of Knox students were in the top quarter of their [[high school]] class, and 43% graduated in the top tenth. The middle of 50 percent of the [[ACT]] Composite score is 26-31; for the [[SAT]] (out of 1600), 1150-1410. Knox does not require the ACT or SAT anymore. This is because we are innovative. Remember this. We made [[Abraham Lincoln]], too, as far as we're concerned.<br />
<br />
These statistics, while good, aren't quite as impressive as some of the more famous schools – indeed, while many in [[Illinois]] or [[Missouri]] have heard of Knox, if you utter the name in [[California]] [http://knox.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2202235148 then people will think you're going to school in Tennessee]. You will soon learn, if you have not already, that the official name of Knox outside of the Midwest is "Knox College, a small liberal arts school in western Illinois (not near Chicago)." A recent addition to this somewhat cumbersome name is 'where Stephen Colbert got his DFA'.<br />
<br />
On the whole, the basic demographic at Knox is good students, with moderate achievements, generally with either a high personal concern either for community or a pressing practical concern for money. A larger than usual percentage are students whose work in high school was perhaps tempered by other concerns, usually social but sometimes associated with being batshit crazy. A fair number of intelligent underachievers add to the mix as well. To be fair, Knox, while selective, is not ''that'' selective.<br />
<br />
===Social===<br />
<br />
As just mentioned, students often think much of social matters, and as the middle students of high school who, perhaps, existed without some firm sort of group identification, the social scene at Knox is quite involved. It is made the more so given Knox's small size and isolation: just as water boils faster in a covered, confined space, Knox's [[drama]] percolates up all the time. The wide availability of drugs and alcohol doesn't help anybody calm down, either. For [[Anso]] majors, it can be quite the opportunity for some ad-hoc fieldwork, but of course few of them can resist being involved themselves.<br />
<br />
On the whole, Knox's drama appears to be more intricate than that at many other schools. And, as everybody pretty much knows everybody with at most two degrees of separation, and sees them once or twice a day, there are a lot of opportunities from social intercourse. This is the sense of community of a small school, but also one of its strangest phenomena. The [[rumor mill]] is especially large, and it is not unheard of for [[faculty]] to get entangled in it as well (they, apparently, need their [[sex]] too). Attempts have been made to catalogue the [[The Web|network of romantic and sexual relationships]] on campus, but the complexity and rapid changes have gotten the better of them. Anyone trying to compile such a list quickly realizes that not only are the heuristics absurd, but also that all of the compilers tend to be just as awkwardly and intricately connected as anyone else. <br />
<br />
====The Greek System====<br />
<br />
For first-years especially, the social scene is largely centered on the [[Greek]] system. After the first year, those who do join a Greek organization keep somewhat within that organization (though anyone will tell you that the Greek system at Knox is not nearly what you expect it to be), and those that do not join any will coalesce their own social channels or find a good balance between the two social realms, but until then there is significant room for maneuver. The [[fraternity|fraternities]] are most prominent on the party scene, because they have residential houses and it is easiest for them to both fit people and organize. The [[sorority|sororities]] only have nonresidential houses, so they don't hold as many parties, instead attending the fraternity parties. The sororities are also larger and contain a larger variety of people within them than do the men's fraternities, making their identity somewhat more difficult to define. [[Rush|Recruitment]] for these organizations is different than many major universities, and begins in [[Winter Term]]. Besides the organizations listed, there are several more niche Greek organizations of various size and purpose. <br />
<br />
*[[Tau Kappa Epsilon]] (Teke) is located to the east of [[Beta Theta Pi|Beta]]. It is known for its parties and recruits many fine young men out of Seymour. It is also the oldest remaining TKE house in the nation. <br />
<br />
*[[Beta Theta Pi]] (Beta) has historically attracted athletes, including football players. Their house is on South St. between [[TKE]] and [[Alumni Hall]].<br />
<br />
*[[Phi Gamma Delta]] (FIJI) attracts a lot of baseball players, basketball players, a significant number of African international students, and sundry others. Depending on the year, it is the most multicultural of fraternities. Their house is on the southwest corner of [[Cedar Street|Cedar]] and [[Tompkins Street|Tompkins]] streets, diagonal from the Galesburg Police Station and across the street from Standish Park. <br />
<br />
*[[Sigma Nu]] (SNu) caters largely to the less obviously fraternity-material students (the geek contingent), and tends to be focused on video games, esoteric conversations, and "bein' chill". However, as of 2010-2011, they have attempted to "rise above the awkward," posing a more friendly socializing atmosphere. In 2013-14, they successfully "rose above the awkward," and are now no longer awkward. Their house is located on [[West Street|West St.]], across from the service ramp in the [[Quads]], a fact which they enjoy reminding Quad residents of. <br />
<br />
*[[Sigma Chi]], the newest fraternity (and, thus far, sadly lacking in a whimsical abbreviation) grew out of the [[Ultimate Frisbee]] team. Its members are fond of [[nudity]]. Their house used to be a very prominent [[crackhouse]] until the occupants were arrested and one fraternity member's family purchased the house, remodeled it, and sold it to the school. It is located on the southwest corner of [[West Street|West]] and [[Knox Street|Knox]] streets.<br />
<br />
*[[Delta Delta Delta]] (Tri Delta) is one of the sororities. They maintain their Lodge on [[Academy Street|Academy St.]], behind [[SMC]]. They are known for always staying classy and being overly enthusiastic about everything. <br />
<br />
*[[Pi Beta Phi]] (Pi Phi) also maintains a house (the Bungalow) on Academy, just north of the Tri Delta Lodge. They are known on campus for being down to earth. <br />
<br />
*[[Kappa Kappa Gamma]] (Kappa)'s house is north of the Pi Phi Bungalow. Kappas at Knox are known for their balance of partying and leadership activities and usually wear big sunglasses. <br />
<br />
*[[Alpha Sigma Alpha]] is the newest sorority on campus. Originally branded the female [[SNu]], they have since backed away from this label.<br />
<br />
**[[Women of Influence]] (WOI) is another recently-formed sorority colony comprised mainly of members of [[Lo Nuestro]] and [[ABLE]].<br />
<br />
**[[Gentlemen of Quality]] (GQ) is the newest colony addition to the Greek system.<br />
<br />
====Suites====<br />
<br />
The other major locus of social organization is the [[suite]] system. Upperclassmen generally [[Housing Lottery|get to pick with whom they are living]], if they have any preference in the matter, but [[first-year]]s are simply thrown together based on survey answers. Given the pressure-cooker social atmosphere, few people end up living with their first-year roommates, for instance, for any additional time. Some first-year suites end up becoming destinations, and others are simply bedrooms. Some suites have perennial reputations, [[Seymour 3B]] being the most infamous. Each freshman suite or group of suites comes with a Knox-issue [[Resident Advisor]] (RA), who will range in quality and willingness to overlook suite members' [[Drinking|actions]] and [[Marijuana|possessions]]. Regardless of your opinion of this person, they are there to for numerous reasons, mostly as an intermediary between you and the administration. Keep in mind that you screwing up (and getting caught) reflects poorly on them as well, but seeing as they have attended the college for longer than you it is totally acceptable to look to them for assistance and advice. <br />
<br />
==Your Room==<br />
<br />
First-years are housed in [[residence hall]]s, usually two to a room. Students may request a [[single]], but it costs several hundred dollars extra and often requires some justifying to the administration. Generally demand is too low to fill them with paying students, so some first-years will be thrown into them at no cost. First-year singles are located in [[Five-Name]]. There are also two triples in [[Seymour Hall]]. Sometimes, due to dropouts, roommate moves, or the like, one might end up living alone in a standard room. This is called a [[double-single]]. <br />
<br />
However, housing at Knox is best described as a creature with amoeba-like attributes and is, as you will see on campus, a matter of paperwork rather than actual practice for many students. Some students even opt to informally live somewhere other than where they were assigned, either because they have found a suite of people they like a little better or have found one person they like a lot better.<br />
<br />
===Seymour Hall===<br />
<br />
[[Seymour Hall]] houses about 80 [[boy|male]] first-years. There is one suite on the second floor of Seymour on the north side of the building ([[Seymour 2]]), and two suites on the third floor: [[Seymour 3A]] above Seymour 2, and [[Seymour 3B]] perpendicular to 3A, over the [[Oak Room]]. The suites are accessible by a spiral staircase above the [[Grab-n-Go Cart]] between the [[Campus Life Office]] and [[Founders]], and by the stairwell on the west side of Seymour, which leads down to the section of Seymour basement with the [[mailroom]] and the [[bookstore]]. These suites are the least secure on campus, as they are in a building that is open 24 hours a day, and the doors to them are usually propped (although [[Campus Safety]] unprops them on its rounds). The rooms are large, if not particularly nice looking. The closets are large enough to fit the [[Dorm furniture|standard-issue dresser]] in them. There is a single common area for all three suites, at the eastern end of 3A; it is hardly ever used, and usually is cannibalized for its furniture. There are [[vending machine]]s on the third floor. [[Laundry]] facilities are in each of the bathrooms, of which there is one on each floor. The roof of Seymour is accessible from windows in the bathroom and several of the rooms, but fines for being out there can be significant if caught.<br />
<br />
Seymour suites have unparalleled easy access to campus, as they are right upstairs from the eateries, the [[Founders|main computer lab]], and the mailroom. On winter days, one need not leave the building except for [[class]]. These suites are generally the least well-kept of all on campus, and the suites often incur high repair fees at the end of the year for their various drunken indiscretions. 3B is perennially the worst of the three in this sense, and has a long history of [[alcohol]] and [[drugs]] beyond the normal levels. The squalor is part of the ambience. Those with a heightened sense of [[hygiene]] will find life in Seymour to be [[Phantom Shitter|very hard on them]].<br />
<br />
===Post Hall===<br />
<br />
First-year [[Post]] is an [[girl|all-female]] area of six [[suite]]s, with about 100 girls. These suites are on the north side of the building, along [[West St.]]; there are also four upperclass suites in the east wing of the building, and upperclassmen living in [[Post Basement]] (the rooms of which were installed to alleviate [[overcrowding]] during the 2006-2007 school year) and may be fondly referred to as [[Post Dungeon]]. [[Kitchen]]s and [[laundry]] rooms are available in the basements, and the [[C-Store]] convenience store is in [[Post Lobby]], along with a big-screen TV (generally controlled by the [[Gaming Information Network]] or other video-game players). There are stairwells between each suite<br />
<br />
Each suite is two stories tall, with a common area on the lower floor, an internal staircase to the balcony, and two small bathrooms on each floor. Each suite has 16 to 18 students, making for a very small bathroom-to-student ratio – Post suites are likely the cleanest on campus. They also have very nice views of campus, with the huge suite window. Then again, this makes it very easy for [[Campus Safety]] to break up unregistered [[parties]]. Post suites are numbered from one to ten: Post 1 is the lower northernmost suite, Post 2 the suite above it, and so on, to Post 10, the upper-level suite farthest out on the east wing. Only Post 1-6 hold first-years.<br />
<br />
===Raub-Sellew===<br />
<br />
[[Raub-Sellew]] is located in the [[Quads]], and is largely made up of first-year housing, although the amount of upperclass housing changes from year to year. It runs east-west, between [[Five-Name]] and [[Four-Name]]. The [[Loading Dock]] is at its western end. There are six suites on three floors, each with 10 to 12 students. On each floor, one suite is Raub and one Sellew. As with Seymour, these are designated by floor (e.g. [[Raub 2]], [[Sellew 1]]). There is a common area in each suite, and one bathroom separated in two parts for each floor. Sellew and Raub each have a stairwell. [[Laundry]] facilities are available in the basement, but no [[kitchen]]. Sellew-Raub is not co-ed by floor. The first floor is first-year boys, the others first-year girls. [[Sellew 1]] has had a reputation for being full of obnoxious and noisy partiers who smoke too close to the building. It is typical Quads and pretty unremarkable.<br />
<br />
===Conger-Neal===<br />
<br />
[[Conger-Neal]] is pretty much the same as Raub-Sellew, and is located along [[West St.]] north of the [[Loading Dock]]. Most of the occupants are upperclassmen, but usually at least one suite is made over to first-years. The [[Conger-Neal basement]], reminiscent of the infamous velociraptor scene in Jurassic Park, is the third-scariest on campus, after [[Aux Gym]] and [[GDH]].<br />
<br />
===Five-Name===<br />
<br />
[[Five-Name]] is the large L-shaped building rounding the northeast corner of [[West Street|West]] and [[Knox Street|Knox]] streets. It contains five suites. [[Campbell]] and [[Elder]] are the two suites of the north wing, and [[Neifert]] and [[Sherwin]] are on the east wing. [[Furrow]] is in the bend, and houses primarily upperclassmen. The basements also have a few rooms, but these are usually given to upperclassmen as well, although many believe them to be the worst housing on campus. This reputation is based largely on five-names extreme excess of fire alarms, though it may seem unthinkable to have as many as 6 fire alarms in a single day that is daily life in five-name. Each wing essentially has a double suite on each floor, with a shared hallway separated by a door that is usually open, and bathrooms at either end. The building is co-ed. There is a combination kitchen/laundry room in [[Neifert Basement]], along with [[the Roger Taylor Lounge|the former Roger Taylor Lounge]]. The[[Student Health Center]] sits on the outside corner of the building and is combined with the [[Counseling Center]]. Five-Name suites are numbered by floor, starting in the basement (Neifert or Elder 1, although usually they are referred to as Neifert or [[Elder Basement]], with the actual first floor being numbered 2, and so forth). Five-Name is far away from everything, except loud Sigma Chi dance parties.<br />
<br />
===I-House===<br />
<br />
If you are an [[international student]], you may end up in the [[International House]]. Congratulations.<br />
<br />
==The Campus==<br />
<br />
Knox strives for a parklike setting. It used to strive for a tree-lined sort of parklike, and then [[Dutch Elm Disease]] happened, so now it strives to evoke more of a [[prairie]] thing. In the summer and early fall it is very green, what with the well-kept lawns. The small nature patch east of the quads is what the land used to look like. One can imagine that in the future, when deer become sentient and take over the world, there will be a small patch of manicured lawn west of the quads at Deer-Knox (undoubtedly refounded by gazelle-slavery abolitionists) that will be visited by [[Anthropology and Sociology|Human Studies]] classes.<br />
<br />
On the northeast quarter of campus are most of the academic buildings on campus. [[Old Main]] is the old one, with the [[belltower]]. [[Seymour Hall]] is the one with all the stuff in it, in the center. You eat at it. [[GDH]], the [[Aux Gym]], and the [[Old Jail]] are around, along with administrative buildings outside of the campus proper. [[Alumni Hall]] is the other old one. To the west is the gray building that looks kind of like a scale model of itself, which is [[Seymour Library]] (not to be confused with Seymour Hall – [[Knox]] may have few wealthy [[alumni]], but those it has are sometimes suitably generous). [[TKE]] and [[Beta]], as well as the [[Wilson House]], are nearby. North of [[South St.]] are the [[apartments]], which are home mostly to seniors and some juniors, as well as [[270 W. Tompkins]] (a rotating theme house) and the [[Jazz House]]. West of South [[West St.]] (confusing? Just wait) is [[SMC]], the large building that suggests a swastika, and behind that the [[sorority]] houses, another house, and the [[Human Rights Center]]. On the eastern side of the campus is [[CFA]], and in the southeast corner the [[Memorial Gym]]. The [[Quads]] are essentially the southwest corner, including the [[Old Quads]] ([[Four-Name]], [[Conger-Neal]], etc.) and the [[New Quads]] ([[Five-Name]]). [[Post Hall]] is just north of these, and a number of campus houses, including [[I-House]], the [[Old Phi Delt House]], [[SNu]], [[Sigma Chi]], and [[Yellow House]] are strung out along [[West St.]] from [[Berrien St.]] on the north end to [[First St.]] at the southern end. The [[Steam Pipe Network]] connects many of the campus buildings. Here, look at a [http://www.knox.edu/prebuilt/PDFs/Campus_map.pdf map of campus].<br />
<br />
[[Elevator]]s on campus are about as common as [[Republican]]s in [[Chicago]] city government (see? Even if you're not from Chicago you pick up fast on these things). ''[[BLADU]]'', the now-defunct humor magazine, had a feature in its early years called "This Month's Event that Disabled Students Can't Attend" or something to that effect. If you're wheelchair-bound, you might have done well to visit first.<br />
<br />
===Old Main===<br />
<br />
Knox's signature building. It's on the letterhead. The school makes a big deal about it being the only remaining site of the [[Lincoln-Douglas debates]]. [[Abraham Lincoln]] climbed through a window to get to the debating platform – He'd "been through college," he said. You may have sat in [[Lincoln Chair|his chair]] as a [[prospie]]. If Knox knew exactly where he had walked while on campus, they would surely mark it off as the Lincoln Trail, litter it with interpretive signage, and all but worship it. More prosaically, as it were, it holds the [[English Department|English]], [[Philosophy Department|Philosophy]], and [[History Department|History]] departments, as well as some key administrative offices on the first floor, including the office of the [[Dean of the College]], the [[President's Office]], the [[Business Office]], the [[Office of Student Development]], the [[Dean of Students]], and so on. Major meeting rooms in Old Main are the [[Alumni Room]] on the first floor in the northwest corner, and the [[Common Room]] along the southern side of the second floor.<br />
<br />
===Alumni Hall===<br />
<br />
For a long time, Alumni Hall was kind of like a classic car – it's old, and really beautiful, but it's been neglected for forty years. [[Knox College|Its owner]] always talked about restoring it, but doesn't have the [[endowment|balls]] to do it, so the car rusted out on the [[South Street|driveway]], looking pretty stupid to anybody who drives by. At some point the owner would asks [[James Kilts|his friend]], the former CEO of Gillette, who once landed his helicopter in the owner's backyard, whether he would be willing to give him several million dollars to restore the car and name it James Kilts Alumni Classic Car, to which this lugubrious CEO, already glorified to no end in the owner's [[admission]] brochures, will reply, "I don't do buildings." And here the analogy falls apart.<br />
<br />
Going into the hall used to be a treat, not to be turned down by any student if they ever got a chance (usually when the [[Trustees]] come – the open it up to try to get them to feel bad and give money). Otherwise, it stood empty, and glowed sodium-orange at night. The daring at heart, (who were lucky enough to find Alumni Hall unlocked) would enter Alumni Hall under the protection of nightfall, escaping before the timer turned on said lights.<br />
<br />
After [[Teresa Amott]] came in, she made Alumni Hall one of her top priority, got some backers and started restoration. It was "completed" by [[Fall 2014]], but the presence of construction workers continued through [[Winter 2015]]. It now houses the [[Office of Admissions]], [[Office of Financial Aid]], and other administrative offices. It does not contain a coffee shop. No one knows why.<br />
<br />
===Seymour Union===<br />
<br />
Where to begin?<br />
<br />
[[Seymour Union]], also known as Seymour Hall, has three floors and a basement. The second and third floors are entirely all-male [[residence hall]]. If the right doors and windows are open, sometimes [[marijuana]] smoke wafts down to the first floor. On the first floor are three different eatery options. Along the south side of the building is the [[Hard Knox Café]], known as The Caf, the buffet-style option, and the most well-used (if not the most popular) one on campus. Just north of it is the [[Oak Room]], which is single-pass and has less variety but is often better quality. Across the hall from the Caf is the [[Gizmo]], the snack bar/fast food sort of place, which is open all day and is a major gathering spot. Next to it just outside the building is the [[Gizmo Patio]], which is very popular for [[drama|socializing]] and [[studying]] in warmer weather and [[smoking]] even in the winter. The windowed hallway from the Caf and Gizmo past the Oak Room to the north side of the building is known as the [[Gallery]]. This is where [[tabling]] happens. Often the school will bring traveling merchants in the Gallery to hawk their wares, most notably the [[poster sale]], the book fair, girl scouts with cookies, and most often a woman who sells clothes and woven items.<br />
<br />
The Gallery ends and a new perpendicular hallway takes its place for the north side of the building. The northeast corner of Seymour is taken up with [[Founders]], the main [[computer lab]]. It has mostly [[Windows]] computers (but a few [[Mac]]s), as well as a tricked-out laser printer. It is open 23 ½ hours a day (closed from 5-5:30 AM for computer maintenance). Across the hall from Founders is the [[Campus Life Office]], where [[Craig Southern]] (the housing guy) and [[Cindy Wickliffe]] (the campus events organization lady, and the sender of campuswide [[e-mail]]s that you're not supposed to respond to) work. The building foyer on the north side also has [[change machine]]s and an [[ATM]]. The change machines are broken almost as often as not. You will get used to it. Be nice to the Gizmo people, because if you are they might give you change even though they're not supposed to.<br />
<br />
Further west along the hall is the [[Carl Sandburg Study Lounge]], which is basically the only study lounge open 24 hours a day. It is especially popular with [[international student]]s. Next to that is the [[Publications Office]], where staff for ''[[The Knox Student]]'' and ''[[Catch]]'' work. A hallway branches off to the west stairwell, which heads toward the [[mailroom]], and after that there is [[Ferris Lounge]] and the [[Lincoln Room]], which are sometimes used for meetings, a number of smaller rooms off a hallway, and [[Helmut Mayer]]'s office (Helmut is the Director of [[Dining Services]]). The [[Loading Dock]] is on the west side of the building, and receives shipments for Dining Services. The Dining Services office is accessible only from outside the building, just west of the Caf.<br />
<br />
There are actually three separate basements in Seymour, at least as far as student accessibility is concerned. Students can only get into two, unless they work for Dining Services, which uses the third section for storage. One section, on the northwest side of the building, contains the mailroom and [[bookstore]]. The other section is accessible from a stairwell near the Gizmo. At the landing there is the [[Union Board]] office, and some other [[club]] office space. At the bottom are two bathrooms, the [[Student Senate]] office, and [[the Roger Taylor Lounge]] (formerly [[Wallace Lounge]]). The left side, which has windows, is a study area, and the windowless right side used to be a bowling alley, but is now a game room complete with two pool tables, a foosball table, an air hockey table, several big-screen TVs and a Nintendo Wii. At the back of the lounge is the old ''[[BLADU]]'' office, which formerly housed the [[Free Store]] (now located in the basement of [[Conger-Neal]]). This is the only public building open 24 hours a day.<br />
<br />
===Seymour Library===<br />
<br />
[[Seymour Library]] is in the top 2% of [[college]] libraries nationwide, they say. However, they don't quote this rank like they do for ranks associated with [[financial aid]] or the [[WVKC|radio station]], so it's a little suspect. All in all, however, it's a lovely library for a school of this size. Jobs at the library are among the most coveted on campus. It contains the main copy machines for public use, a number of [[computer]]s (including laptops you can check out at the front desk), and a few dozen or so books, too. The study carrels are numerous and generally fairly quiet, although many of the red swivel chairs squeak horribly. The catalog is online, and accessible [http://library.knox.edu here]. You can check out movies too – the VHS library is larger, but they continually acquire new DVDs for [[professor]]s' class needs. The [[Special Collections and Archives]] room has a lot of very interesting old things. The major meeting areas in the library are the [[Muelder Reading Room]] (much, much better known as the Red Room, because of the red carpet), and a number of smaller rooms arrayed next to it, including the [[Bookfellows Room]], [[Finley Room]], and [[Cassidy Room]]. On the third floor above this area are [[Honors office]]s, for seniors who are doing an [[Honors Project]]. On the first floor, the study room at the east side of the building arrayed with glass-block windows is often referred to as the [[Fishbowl]].<br />
<br />
[[Reserves]] for (non science) classes are available at the front desk. Smaller reserves are in manila envelopes and listed by a file number, which you have to look up in the catalog. The rest are by call number. There are also open reserves, which are located on the first floor, between the periodicals and the DVD shelf. There is only one bathroom in the entire building, off the foyer. There are two stairwells, one at the front and the other at the back, running just to the right of the Fishbowl.<br />
<br />
If you want science books or reserves, those are available at the [[Kresge Science-Mathematics Library]] in [[SMC]] (another donation behemoth, that Kresge was). There is also a [[Music Library]] in [[CFA]].<br />
<br />
===SMC===<br />
<br />
Officially known as the [[Sharvy G. Umbeck Science and Mathematics Center]], it is called SMC (pronounced '"smack") because many of Knox's benefactors (in this case a former college president) do not have pretty-sounding names. We can't all be Seymours or Kresges, after all. It contains offices and classrooms for all the sciences, including [[psychology]], [[mathematics]], and [[Computer Science|computer science]]. Its basement is creepy and contains the [[Computer Center]], two computer labs, [[Stellyes]] and [[Caterpillar Lab|Caterpillar]], and many file cabinets containing magical objects (this is where you can find the [[door to Narnia]]). The [[Office of Advancement]] is located in the E wing. The [[Kresge Science-Mathematics Library]] is in the center of the second floor. The building has four wings, lettered B through E, with the core being A. The A-wing contains two large lecture pits seating over 100, one of which is the meeting place for [[Student Senate]]. There are six stairwells, two in the core and one on the end of each wing.<br />
<br />
SMC is not really shaped like a swastika, but it kind of looks like it, especially from above. Perhaps they will make additions.<br />
<br />
Be prepared to find yourself lost somewhere in SMC during the first term. It may help to watch the scenery outside the huge plate-glass windows--it's the only thing that changes as you move around.<br />
<br />
===GDH===<br />
<br />
Officially known as [[George Davis Hall]], this was the science building before SMC was built in 1970, and currently houses a number of [[Academic Department|department]]s, including all the social sciences, [[Modern Languages and Literatures Department|Modern Languages]], and [[Educational Studies Department|Educational Studies]]. The radio station, [[WVKC]], is located on the fourth floor, accessed from the eastern stairwell. It contains the [[Centel Lab|Centel computer lab]] on the first floor, which contains special workstations for use with foreign language instruction. The basement is the second scariest on campus, although it is sometimes locked. There is a 19th-century X-ray machine down there.<br />
<br />
===Old Jail===<br />
<br />
The [[Old Jail]], just east of [[GDH]], contains faculty offices. It also holds the [[Lincoln Studies Center]] and the [[Underground Railroad Freedom Station]], as well as an actual [[jail]] in the back. The jail is multilevel and quite impressive. If you get a chance, opt to take the tour.<br />
<br />
===CFA===<br />
<br />
Officially known as [[Ford Center for the Fine Arts]]. This holds the [[Art Department|Art]], [[Theatre and Dance Department|Theatre and Dance]], and [[Music Department|Music]] departments. The main venue is the [[Harbach Theatre]], which is the [[mainstage]] for theatre productions and is across the lobby corridor from the former [[Office of Admission]], which is currently a study lounge even though we all know it should be a coffee shop. [[Kresge Recital Hall]] is used more often for speakers and musical performances, and for [[First-Year Orientation]]. It's on the south side of the main lobby. In the basement by the eastern stairwell is the [[Studio Theatre]], used for smaller, usually [[student]]-directed, shows. The south wing of CFA is the [[music]] wing, and contains offices, recital halls, practice rooms, and the [[Music Library]] on the second floor. On the north side of the lobby is the main art exhibition space, around an obviously curved wall. Inside this wall is the [[Round Room]], which would be the coolest room on campus if the seating weren't quite as unnecessarily cramped. The [[Office of Financial Aid]] sits above the Office of Admission on the second floor.<br />
<br />
CFA has the same effect that created the term SMC rat, for science students, but without a name. You will get stuck in CFA if you commit to theatre or music. You will spend way more time in it than most people think is necessary. And you will, for some reason, feel compelled to visit it when you have nothing to do because there is inevitably someone, usually a group of someones, who have the same problem and will be more than happy to talk about things with you on the CFA patio because they don't know what to do with their time away from CFA either. If you have money you can buy a t-shirt that reads "CFA Ate My Soul."<br />
<br />
===Memorial Gym===<br />
<br />
The [[Memorial Gym]] holds most of the important athletic facilities on campus. It is tucked behind [[CFA]] and the [[track]]. Inside is a [[basketball]] court on the first floor. In the basement there is a woefully small [[natatorium]] (pool). This used to be easy to break into, but then they changed the lock. On the second floor there are offices for low-seniority faculty, as well as the headquarters of the [[Black Studies Program]]. The new-looking, floor-to-ceiling windowed section is the [[E. & L. Andrew Fitness Center]].<br />
<br />
Some other facilities, specifically for dance, are located in the [[Aux Gym|Auxiliary Gym]], between [[CFA]] and [[GDH]].<br />
<br />
===Other Places on Campus===<br />
<br />
In addition to the buildings described above, there are numerous other, smaller places on campus that are worth noting.<br />
<br />
In terms of classroom and meeting space, there are several other areas. One, the [[Compass Room]], is a meeting and class room located on the second floor in the center of the [[Townhouses]], which are upperclass housing on the northeast corner of [[South Street|South]] and [[Cedar Street|Cedar]] streets. On class schedules it will show up as 251E in reference to the building's address, 251 South West St., and the letter E as coming after Townhouses [[Townhouse A|A]] through [[Townhouse D|D]]. It has a [[kitchen]]. Another, the [[Wilson House]], is sometimes used for [[class]]es, and is located next to [[TKE]]. It also has a kitchen. There is also the [[Center for Intercultural Life]], a small house adjoined to [[Simonds Hall]] (part of [[Four-Name]]). The [[Center for Teaching and Learning]] is used for tutoring and other functions, and is on [[West St.]], south of the parking lot.<br />
<br />
Major named lawns include the [[South Lawn]] (south of [[Old Main]]) and [[Post Lawn]] (between [[Post]] and [[Seymour]]). There are [[Meridian Tennis Courts|tennis courts]] just east of the [[Quad]]s, and a track east of those. On the other side of [[Knox St.]] there is a [[soccer field]] and the [[Knox Bowl]], a [[football]] field with a manmade hill all around it. [[Pot]] smoking and sledding are popular Knox Bowl activities. Getting caught in there incurs reference to the [[Office of Student Development]].<br />
<br />
The [[Campus Safety]] Office is located on [[Prairie St.]], near [[Berrien St.]] You pick up and drop off your keys there, although you generally do not need to during First-Year Orientation.<br />
<br />
The main convenience store for campus is "The Quickie", the 24-hour [[Quick Sam's Convenience Convenient]] (seriously, that's what the sign says) at the corner of [[South Street|South]] and [[Academy Street|Academy]]. Unlike the [[C-Store]], they sell cigarettes and alcohol.<br />
<br />
==Faculty==<br />
<br />
The [[faculty]] are probably the best thing going at [[Knox]]. Many of Knox's professors are recent [[Ph.D.]] graduates who teach at Knox for a few years before moving to greener pastures, but the [[tenure]]d faculty are none the worse for staying (perhaps, in fact, they are better for it). Those who do stay are generally extremely committed to the teaching-college niche of Knox, as well as the slightly odd nature of the Knox and Galesburg community. Some of them just really like the house they bought, and/or don't want to sell it at a loss in [[Galesburg]]'s anemic real estate market. Students have a lot of contact with professors generally; some too little, some [[sex|too much]].<br />
<br />
A lot of Knox's professors are married to each other, which is another reason they get tenure. Some of them are obvious, like [[Robin Metz]] and [[Elizabeth Carlin-Metz]], or the [[Fineberg]]s. Some of them are less so, like [[Nancy Eberhardt]] and [[Steve Cohn]]. You probably shouldn't badmouth one to the other.<br />
<br />
The overwhelming majority of students get invited to a professor's house at least once. Knox ensures this by having the first-year advisors invite their advisees over for dinner during [[First-year Orientation]]. [[Nick Regiacorte|Nick]] and [[Sunshine Regiacorte]] serve really good pasta. Some of the other professors can't cook and do [[Joy Garden|takeout]] or something. But it's the thought that counts, and now when the [[Office of Admission]] recalculates the number for the admission brochures you'll have to say that you went to a professor's house once.<br />
<br />
==Staff==<br />
Knox has some wonderful [[staff]]. Sadly, most people miss the chance to meet many of them, except for those with whom they have [[campus employment]].<br />
<br />
==Administration==<br />
This well-meaning group of people keeps [[Knox]] on an even keel, charting a course toward [[financial impregnability]], as former [[President of the College|President]] Roger Taylor might say. Members of the administrative offices are part of the staff.<br />
<br />
There are five main departments at Knox, each headed by a Vice President.<br />
<br />
===Teresa L. Amott===<br />
The 19th President of the college, also the first female president, scheduled to take the helm during the 2011-2012 school year. Most Knox students don't know anything about her yet. Check out the articles about her on the Knox website as well as videos of her speeches at Knox and you will be just about as informed as the rest of us. <br />
<br />
===Roger and Anne Taylor===<br />
[[Roger Taylor]] resigned at the end of the 2010-2011 school year from his position as the college president. He used to be a lawyer for [[Kirkland & Ellis LLP]], in [[Chicago]]. He liked to introduce himself as an [[alum]], only for it to eventually dawn on you that he was the president. This is because Knox is humble and down-home. He may have helped you move your things in during [[orientation]]. During [[Commencement]], he pronounced 2007 as twenty-oh-seven. He was very concerned about [[financial impregnability|financial birth control]], and used many techniques, including the [[Endowment|pill]], the [[Natatorium|withdrawal method]], and the messy [[Alumni Hall|partial-birth abortion]]. He likes to tell [[When Roger Met Anne|the story about how he met his wife Anne]] whenever he is within fifteen feet of a podium. If you visited Knox as a [[prospie]], you might have been met by Roger as the tour group stopped outside of his office. This was not an accident; he had the tour guides talk louder so he knew to come out and say hi and prove to you that Knox is humble and down-home. Sometimes he would eat in the [[Caf]] and sit down by random students to make conversation. It was a little [[awkward]].<br />
<br />
[[Anne Taylor]] is Roger's wife. She is also an attorney, and is special counsel for the college. She is no friend of [[Flunk Day]], for the multifarious liability issues. She makes sure Roger remembers people's names. She and Roger lived at [[Ingersoll House]]. A few special functions, such as [[Mortarboard]] induction, might get you a chance to go in.<br />
<br />
===Office of Admission===<br />
Maybe you remember them? The [[Office of Admission]] is headed by Vice President for Enrollment and Dean of Admission [[Paul Steenis]]. You won't have much to do with the Office of Admission proper as a [[student]], but you will likely have dealings with the [[Office of Financial Aid]], under Director [[Terry Jackson]]. They send you a financial aid package, and help you out with student loans and so on (getting them, not paying for them).<br />
<br />
===Office of Advancement===<br />
Headed by Vice President of Advancement [[Beverly Holmes]], the [[Office of Advancement]] is comprised of the [[Office of Alumni Relations]] and the [[Development Office]] (not to be confused with the [[Office of Student Development]]). Their main concern is getting people, especially [[alumni]], to give the school [[money]], because we are [[endowment|poor]] and that course toward financial impregnability won't chart itself. If you wanted a rich school, transfer to bourgeois [[Grinnell]]. Befriend the people who work in this office - they know everything about all the alumni - and they are more helpful getting you in touch with important alums when you need a job than Career Services.<br />
<br />
===Office of Academic Affairs===<br />
The [[Office of Academic Affairs]] is run by [[Larry Breitborde]], Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the College. [[Steve Bailey]] is the Associate Dean of the College, with whom you are likely to have more contact; Dean Bailey is a good person to know, as he can help you with problems large and small, academic and personal. This office is in charge of the [[faculty]] and most academic resources on campus, including the [[Library|libraries]], the [[Computer Center]], the [[Registrar]], [[Athletics]], the [[Lincoln Studies Center]], and various special programs including [[Honors]], the [[Ford Fellowship]], and the [[McNair Program]]. It also oversees all [[Faculty Advisor]]s, who help you pick classes. The [[Honor Code]] and [[Honor Board]] are considered parts of this Office.<br />
<br />
====Registrar====<br />
The [[Office of the Registrar]] is part of the Office of Academic Affairs. The Registrar is responsible for transcripts and grade reporting, and maintains your [[Educational Development Report]] (EDR). The Registrar's website, accessible [http://www.knox.edu/registrar.xml here], also has the most recent copy of the [[Knox College Catalog]], and the [[Academic Calendar]] for this and past years. The Registrar is responsible for class location assignments and class placement as well, and their system is what advisors log into to sign you up for classes.<br />
<br />
The current Registrar is [[Sheryl Kristensen]]. [[Karen Benedict]] is the office manager; your e-mails about class assignments and [[closeout]]s will come from her.<br />
<br />
====Computer Center====<br />
They are in charge of [[computer]]s, including both students' computers and the [[computer lab]]s. They also administer the Knox servers, which include your [[e-mail]] account, [[webmail]], [[home account]] (where you can store files you work on in computer labs on the server), and the wireless and wired [[Internet]] connections, and network printeres. The [[Computer Help Desk]] is also part of the Center. They maintain a lot of information about how to connect to the network at Knox. They also have a package of antivirus software that you're required to use. Winding up with a virus is no fun, but its less fun when you get quarantined (no internet access) and have to pay them to fix it for you. Their website is [http://www.knox.edu/computercenter.xml here]. The Steves - [[Steve Jones]] and [[Steve Hall]] - run this department.<br />
<br />
===Office of Student Development===<br />
The [[Office of Student Development]] is run by [[Xavier Romano]], Vice President for Student Development and Dean of Students. Xavier likes bow ties, and he probably thinks you're okay too. Xavier controls a [[Xavier Romano's Slush Fund|slush fund]]. Xavier also sends out the e-mail announcing when [[Flunk Day]] season begins, and when it is in fact Flunk Day. [[Debbie Southern]] is the Associate Dean for Student Development, and is in charge of [[Orientation]] and judicial affairs; when [[Campus Safety]] refers you to the Office of Student Development, you make an appointment with her to have your [[consequences|wrist slapped]]. This Office controls primarily nonacademic student affairs, the exception being the [[Center for Teaching and Learning]]. Other subordinate departments include the [[Campus Life Office]], the [[Conduct Council]], the [[Grievance Panel]], the [[Center for Career and Pre-Professional Development]], the [[Center for Community Service]], the [[Center for Intercultural Life]] (which is in charge of advising international students), the [[Counseling Center]], [[Health Services]] (which it outsources), and the [[TRIO Achievement Program]] for low-income students. They work with faculty committees such as the [[Student Life Committee]].<br />
<br />
====Campus Life====<br />
The [[Campus Life Office]], headed by [[Craig Southern]] (Debbie Southern's husband), is in charge of [[housing]] and [[student activities]]. It decides where you will live as a first-year, and it controls the [[Housing Lottery]] for returning students each [[Spring Term]]. It also plans student activities and events, working with [[Union Board]]. If you need to change rooms or register a [[party]], this is your go-to office. [[Cindy Wickliffe]], the secretary, coordinates a lot of campus events, so chances are signups for them will be at her desk. She is also the contact person for [[club]]s who need their [[copy card]] or information on their budgets. She will send you a lot of e-mails. Do not hit reply.<br />
<br />
====Center For Teaching and Learning====<br />
The [[CTL]] is run by [[John Haslem]], and is in charge of [[tutoring]] services. They organize weekly tutoring sessions in the [[Red Room]], and provide other services in that capacity. They also directly administrate the [[TRIO program]]. The CTL is located in a house along [[West St.]]<br />
<br />
====Conduct Council====<br />
The [[Conduct Council]] is the catch-all disciplinary tribunal for students and student organizations – all cases, except those involving academic dishonesty, discrimination, and sexual misconduct, are directed here. They operate by the rules of their constitution, accessible [http://www.knox.edu/x12121.xml here]. They are able to [[expel]] you. If you are cited with an [[alcohol violation]] which you do not admit to (and usually you did do it), you will be brought before the Conduct Council. They won't expel you for that, though – a $40 fine is standard.<br />
<br />
====Grievance Panel====<br />
The [[Grievance Panel]] is convened to hear cases of sexual harassment, discrimination, and sexual misconduct, such as [[rape]]. Since Knox prefers to keep its public reporting requirements down to one rape every other year, it can be difficult to get a good conviction, and in general the Grievance Panel process is convoluted and difficult to use. Conversely, the Galesburg Police Department has no such limit... Their constitution is available [http://www.knox.edu/x12122.xml here].<br />
<br />
===Office of Business, Finance, and Administrative Services===<br />
This department contains the various support services of the college and is run by [[Tom Axtell]], Vice President for Finance and Administrative Services and College Treasurer. Tom Axtell and the finance people calculate [[tuition]] and other fees, and process the money. [[Fundraising]] and the [[endowment]] are the province of the Office of Advancement. Within the Office's voluminous ranks are the [[Business Office]], [[Purchasing]], [[Human Resources]] (for the faculty), [[Postal Services]], the [[Bookstore]], [[Facilities Services]], [[Dining Services]], and [[Campus Safety]].<br />
<br />
====Business Office====<br />
They're the ones you send [[tuition]] to. If you don't pay it on time, [[Penny Young]] will be breathing down your neck. If you're always late she will know your name, and this is a bad thing. If she knows your name, it means she doesn't like you. The Business Office also handles disbursement of checks for [[campus employment]]. They will desperately want you to sign up for [[Direct Deposit]].<br />
<br />
====Postal Services====<br />
The [[mailroom]], basically. [[Neill Unger]] is in charge here. They also have the keys to [[Copy Services]].<br />
<br />
====Bookstore====<br />
Knox's [[bookstore]] is small but determined. They have a wide array of Knox apparel, and some choice books that nobody has ever bought ever, including 50,000 copies of ''[[Colleges That Change Lives]]''. They carry textbooks for [[class]]es, although often the prices are unfathomably high.<br />
<br />
====Facilities Services====<br />
[[Facilities Services|The custodians and maintenance folks]]. They clean your bathroom and take out your garbage, so be nice to them ([[KARES]] handles your [[recycling]] for the time being). They will [[Bed lofting|loft your bed]] if you put in a [[work order]], and they also do various building upkeep and some remodeling work. [[Scott Maust]] heads this department. He likes it when people make tracks in the [[snow]], because then he can see where he needs to build new sidewalks.<br />
<br />
====Dining Services====<br />
[[Dining Services]] includes all dining facilities on the Knox campus and their employees. [[Steve Farris]] was the director, until he passed away suddenly at the beginning of September, 2007. Dining Services is now headed by [[Helmut Mayer]]. Write a comment card to him in German sometime; it's fun. Unlike many other colleges, Dining Services is not outsourced (some time ago, [[Sodexho]] had the contract). The employees have a union and are fairly well-paid for food service workers. The food quality has improved dramatically since the new director got here. You now can eat pretty authentic ethnic dishes and the vegetarian and vegan option have increased many fold. If you want to eat well and healthy or prefer the greasy stuff, you can, and more so with a little creativity. Actually, you probably won't be that creative, so shut up and eat a [[breakfast bagel]].<br />
<br />
====Campus Safety====<br />
[[Campus Safety]] is the Knox security force. [[John Schlaf]], the former [[Galesburg]] [[Galesburg Police Department|Chief of Police]], heads the department. Although Campus Safety is nominally meant to enforce the law, the college philosophy is to focus on safety instead of the legal [[drinking]] age. Nonetheless, if they see [[beer|it]], they will usually confiscate it.<br />
<br />
==Galesburg==<br />
[[Galesburg]] is a city of 33,000 people. Galesburg was founded along with Knox by abolitionists. Later on, it became a major [[railroad]] hub, and at one point had one of the largest [[railyards]] in [[North America]]. It was also the first yard to use hump-sorting, which is basically putting cars up on a hill and letting them roll where they're supposed to go. The railyards are currently owned by [[Burlington Northern Santa Fe]]. Rail emanates from Galesburg in several different directions, and as such two transcontinental passenger trains, the [[California Zephyr]] and the [[Southwest Chief]], serve Galesburg. The main railroad line runs just along the edge of Knox; the [[Memorial Gym]] is visible from the train when coming in from the west.<br />
<br />
Due to the railroad activity, Galesburg has a dozen sides of the tracks, all of them wrong. Some of them are less wrong than others, though. The least wrong one is the area where most professors live, north of downtown Galesburg past [[Water St.]], along [[Cherry St.]] and environs. Numerous railroad crossings make commutes in Galesburg unpredictable.<br />
<br />
Knox College occupies a position just south of downtown, separating [[downtown]] from Galesburg's [[Meth Lab District]] on the south and west sides of the school.<br />
<br />
===Vitals===<br />
Galesburg's ZIP code is 61401. The area code is 309. Galesburg is part of the 17th district of Illinois for the [[U.S.]] House. It is the county seat of [[Knox County]].<br />
<br />
In 2000, Galesburg's population was 33,706. The median per capita income in 2000 was $17,214, the median household income was $31,987. The median house value was about $65,400. This was previous to the [[Maytag]] closure, so all these numbers have undoubtedly decreased. <br />
<br />
===Climate===<br />
Galesburg is characterized by warm, humid [[summer]]s and cold, somewhat drier [[winter]]s. In the early [[fall]], late [[spring]], and summer, it will be very difficult to live without [[air conditioning]], but most [[residence hall]]s do not offer it. Heating is available using [[radiator]]s. [[Snow]]fall is significant, but there generally are not more than two or three storms a year that bring sufficient snow for sledding. [[Ice storm]]s are fairly common.<br />

<br />
===Address System===<br />
Galesburg, like many cities, is organized on a grid system, with address numbers radiating out from a central zero point. In Galesburg, that zero point is the [[Public Square]] roundabout at the intersection of [[Main Street|Main]] and [[Broad Street|Broad]] streets. Main runs east-west, and Broad runs north-south. Cardinal directions are used on most street names to distinguish between north and south or east and west addresses (for instance, [[Old Main]]'s address is 2 East [[South St.]], which places it just east of Broad St. along South St.). This leads to inadvertently funny street combinations, like the intersection of South [[West Street|West]] and West South streets.<br />
<br />
===Background===<br />
Galesburg has long been a railroad town. It also used to have a large [[Maytag]] refrigerator plant. That plant was the area's largest employer, until the Maytag company decided to pack up the profitable Galesburg plant and move it to [[Reynosa, Mexico]]. Decisions like this ultimately destabilized Maytag, and now the brand is owned by Whirlpool. There is little love for Maytag in Galesburg; one organization bought one of the last Galesburg Maytag refrigerators and a sledgehammer and held a $2 a whack fundraiser. They raised a lot of money. Since then the economy has been flagging – a number of the stores [[downtown]] have closed, and some people have left the area. Many have gone to school to retrain for other work, flooding the nursing market, for instance. Some [[Non-traditional student|attended Knox for a few years]]. Other Maytag employees have ended up working at Knox, including a substantial number in [[Dining Services]].<br />
<br />
While Maytag is the most recent and the touchstone example, it is one in a long string of setbacks for Galesburg, including the withdrawal of the [[Galesburg Mental Health Center]], the [[Gale Products Manufacturing Division]] of Outboard Marine Corp., and others, resulting in the loss of nearly 8000 good-paying union jobs.<br />
<br />
Galesburg has also been hit with [[methamphetamines]], which for many is now a popular pastime. The town has been working at getting on its feet, attempting to use its railroad proximity to attract [[China|Chinese]] investors, with some success. Still, the area's largest employer is [[Farmland Foods]], a pig slaughterhouse in [[Monmouth]]. [[Burlington Northern Santa Fe]], Knox, and the local community college, [[Carl Sandburg College]], are major employers as well. <br />
<br />
Galesburg will soon be home to the [[Railroad Hall of Fame]]. It is also the site of [[Railroad Days]] and the national [[Stearman Fly-In]].<br />
<br />
===Downtown Galesburg===<br />
Downtown Galesburg is, more or less, the area bordered by [[South St.]] to the south, [[North St.]] to the north, [[West St.]] to the west, and [[Seminary St.]] to the east. The entirety is within easy walking distance of the college.<br />
<br />
Seminary St. is the restored old-timey city center. A developer came in and paved the street with brick, and put $1000 a month apartments on the upper floors of the shops, apparently thinking that he was in Martha's Vineyard at the time. It is nonetheless a nice area, if sometimes a little upmarket for college students. Strung along Seminary are [[Innkeeper's Coffee]], [[Cornucopia]] (a miniature Trader Joe's sort of natural foods place), [[Uncle Billy's Bakery]] (connected to Cornucopia – the spinach bread is the single best thing about Galesburg), [[Chez Willy's]] (as haute cuisine as Galesburg will ever get, but rather expensive), [[Stone Alley Books and Collectibles]] (amazing), [[The Landmark]] (not quite as formal, a little less expensive, and also very good – try the lobster bisque), [[The Packinghouse]] (a steakhouse, just off Seminary on Mulberry St.), the [[Seminary St. Pub]], a [[wine bar]] on the street behind Seminary (Chambers St.), and the Amtrak station.<br />
<br />
[[Cherry St.]] is three blocks east of Seminary, and is the locus of the [[Local bars|bar scene]], with [[McGillacuddy's]] (which is where [[Jazz Night]] is held on Thursdays, open to all ages), [[Cherry Street Bar and Grill]], [[GP's Lounge]], and [[Duffy's]].<br />
<br />
[[Main St.]] also has a number of destinations. Along Main you will find the [[Dollar General]] thrift store, [[Joy Garden]] Chinese takeout and delivery, most of the banks including a [[Wells Fargo]] and an [[Associated Bank]], and the [[Broadview]]. In terms of bars there is [[Crappy's]], [[La Mesa]], and [[Big John's Silver Dollar Saloon]].<br />
<br />
Other popular places downtown include [[Pizza House]] and [[Kaldi's]] (both on [[Simmons St.]]). The [[Knox County Courthouse]] is an old-looking building with a tower, located at Cherry and South streets. The local congressman, [[Phil Hare]], has his district office near Broad and Water streets. The [[Galesburg Public Library]] is located at Simmons and Broad, and the [[Galesburg City Hall]] on Broad between Simmons and [[Tompkins Street|Tompkins]] streets. The tallest building in Galesburg is the fifteen-story round brick building at the corner of Simmons and [[Cedar Street|Cedar]] streets. It holds old people. The [[Knox County Jail]] and the offices of the [[Register-Mail]] newspaper are located on [[Prairie St.]], between Simmons St. and Tompkins St. The [[Orpheum Theatre]] is on [[Kellogg Street]], just south of Main.<br />
<br />
Many of Knox's off-campus students live in the downtown area. Examples include the [[Dude Ranch]], [[Graveyard House]], and the [[Yellow Apartments]].<br />
<br />
===North Henderson Street===<br />
The other major shopping district in Galesburg is the area around North [[Henderson Street]] and [[Carl Sandburg Drive]]. This is the more typical big-box [[suburb]]an shopping area, and generally you have to access it by car. It features the [[Carl Sandburg Mall]], which is basically a [[Sears]], [[K-Mart]], [[JC Penney]], and [[Bergner's]] with a few shops in the hallways between them. A [[Hy-Vee]] grocery store is there, and there is a [[Target]] just west of Henderson on Carl Sandburg. The [[YMCA]] and the [[Showplace 8]] movie theater are further along Carl Sandburg, near the intersection with [[Fremont St.]] There is a [[Staples]] on National Blvd., but the turnoff is confusing and half the time you'll end up on [[Highway 34]], so it's easier to head to the [[Lowe's]] parking lot off Carl Sandburg east of Henderson, and cut through there. Further south on Henderson, there is a sex shop, [[Romantix]], located at the intersection of Henderson and Losey streets. There is also a standalone [[Hy-Vee Wine and Spirits]] on Henderson, and an [[Econofoods]]. There are several restaurants along the road, including [[Old Peking]], [[New China Buffet]], the [[Rib Shack]], [[Perkins]], [[La Gondola]], and fast food restaurants like [[Taco Bell]] and [[Arby's]].<br />
<br />
===Eastern Galesburg===<br />
The area east of the [[BNSF]] mainline is less traveled by Knox students, but has some useful resources. The popular Mexican restaurant [[Jalisco's]] and another [[Hy-Vee]] (with an attached [[Hy-Vee Wine and Spirits]]), are all on [[Main St.]] The [[Carl Sandburg]] birthplace is a favorite for nighttime pilgrimages, and is located at the corner of [[Third Street|Third]] and [[Kellogg Street|Kellogg]] streets, accessible from the [[Third Street Overpass]].<br />
<br />
===North Cherry Street===<br />
[[Cherry St.]] north of downtown has some of Galesburg's nicest houses, and thus most of the professors live in this area. [[Cottage Hospital]], the main hospital for students, is located at the corner of Kellogg and Losey streets.<br />
<br />
===Outside of Town===<br />
[[Lake Storey]] is a lake north of [[Highway 34]] off of Henderson St. It has a playground and some boat rides, and a nice park. You can't really swim in the thing though.<br />
<br />
The [[Hill Correctional Center]] is Galesburg's lovely prison. It is located on the southwest edge of town, on N [[Linwood Road]].<br />
<br />
Next to the prison is the old [[Maytag]] plant, off of [[Monmouth Blvd.]]<br />
<br />
==ID Cards and Faces==<br />
All Knox students receive an [[ID card]]. The ID card contains the [[student]]'s name, photograph, ID number, date of birth, and the card's expiration date (one week after the expected date of graduation). The ID card is grey, and the photograph is generally ugly. The cards are not particularly durable, and even after less than one year the lamination will peel, the photograph will fade (and none too soon), and and card body may even start to crack. Some student punch holes in their cards so they can be put on keyrings, but this greatly reduces the life of the card. The back of the card has a magnetic strip for use in swiping [[meals]] and using [[Dining Dollars]] and [[Flex Dollars]]. There are plans to integrate card-swipe entry for [[residence hall]] doors, but as yet there are none with this feature.<br />
<br />
ID cards are made in the [[Dining Services]] office, which is accessed from outside of [[Seymour]] just west of the [[Caf]]. [[Orientation]] groups are assigned to go together to get their ID photos taken, but it is easy enough to go before the scheduled trips start and get it done with no wait at all.<br />
<br />
The photograph taken for your ID photo also ends up on [[Faces]], the student directory. It also ends up on your [[EDR]] and on the attendance sheets for every [[class]] you ever take. That photograph will haunt you until you [[graduate]].<br />
<br />
Lost ID card replacement costs $15. If you want your picture retaken, and the new picture promulgated to Faces and everywhere else, it will set you back $25.<br />
<br />
Your ID number will show up on your ID card as nine digits, but only the last six digits are your real ID number. This number is useful for all sorts of things, so it's good to memorize it. You can find out the ID numbers of other people by going into Faces – the photograph filenames are the ID numbers. This is useful during [[Housing Lottery]].<br />
<br />
==Meals and Eating==<br />
This section deals with your meal plan and dining options.<br />
<br />
===Meal Plan===<br />
Nearly all Knox students are required to purchase a [[meal plan]], which makes up the [[board]] costs of [[tuition]]. A few exceptions are made for students living [[off-campus]] and those with real or faked medical problems. If you're desperate to get off board, a note from your doctor to [[Helmut Mayer]] will do it, although they will not be pleased. Acid reflux disease is a pretty good excuse. A gluten allergy is even better. If you are unfortunately bereft of these afflictions, then "fake it till you make it," as it were, and get your family doctor to lie for you.<br />
<br />
For everyone else, there are five meal plans, all of which cost $1020 per [[term]], or $3060 per year.<br />
<br />
{|<br />
| || '''Meals/Term''' || '''Guest Meals''' || '''Dining Dollars''' || '''Price Per Meal'''<br />
|-<br />
|'''Premier 200''' || 200 || 20 || $75 || $4.73<br />
|-<br />
|'''Premier 150''' || 150 || 15 || $150 || $5.80<br />
|-<br />
|'''Premier 125''' || 125 || 12 || $190 || $6.64<br />
|-<br />
|'''Premier 100''' || 100 || 10 || $225 || $7.95<br />
|-<br />
|'''Premier 75''' || 75 || 7 || $265 || $10.07<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Meals are counted in swipes, and are redeemable at the [[Caf]] and the [[Oak Room]] as one swipe per meal. One can also use them at the [[Grab-n-Go]] locations, where each food item has a point value, and 18 points equals one swipe.<br />
<br />
Guest meals are like meals, but they cannot be used on you. They can be used for visitors, or for fellow students who have lost their cards.<br />
<br />
[[Dining Dollars]] are basically debit cash. They are redeemable only at the [[Gizmo]] and the [[C-Store]], and one Dining Dollar is equal to one [[U.S.]] dollar.<br />
<br />
[[Flex Dollars]], which are not mentioned in the table above, can be optionally added to your card in various increments. They can be used at the Gizmo and the C-Store as well, although Dining Dollars are more common, so if you use Flex Dollars you need to specify that to the cashier. Flex Dollars may also be used on college [[copy machine]]s.<br />
<br />
Keep in mind that meals and dining dollars are not transferable, and they do not roll over to the next term, so don't get the plan with 200 meals if you aren't going to use them. Many students with a huge overage of meals like to buy large amounts of [[soda]] at the Grab-n-Go near the end of each term, but the Grab-n-Go workers quickly tire of this.<br />
<br />
===Dining Options===<br />
The daily and weekly menus can be found on the right-hand side of the [http://www.knox.edu/current-students.html "Current Students"] section of the Knox website.<br />
<br />
====[[The Hard Knox Cafe]] (The Caf)====<br />
This is the main eating area, featuring aal you can eat buffet-style food with a mid-80s ambience. The offerings change daily, and the menu runs on a five week cycle. There are a large number of [[vegetarian]] options, with [[vegan]] choices not far behind. If you have to eat gluten free you can. Same goes for most food allergies. All prepared foods are labeled so that yu can see calories, ingredients and allergens.<br />
<br />
=====Breakfast=====<br />
The Caf offers a small [[breakfast]] on most mornings, including a limited omelet bar, and some small variety of breakfast food, including a wide variety of cereals. [[Sunday brunch]] is much more extensive, as it is basically lunch, and offers breakfast staples such as pancakes and the omelet bar along with Sunday brunch specials like chicken strips and tortellini.<br />
<br />
From Monday to Saturday breakfast is offered from 7:30-10:00AM. Sunday brunch is available from 10:00AM to 2:00PM.<br />
<br />
=====Lunch=====<br />
At [[lunch]] there is a larger variety of food, including pasta, a salad bar, soup, a hamburger grill, pizza, and a sandwich bar, plus offerings that change from day to day. There is a toaster oven and two panini grills where you can make anything from a grilled cheese sandwich to a quesadilla. Dessert options, including ice cream, soft serve yogurt and baked specials. Cereal is available all day.<br />
<br />
Lunch is available from 11:00AM to 2:00PM. Sunday brunch is 10:00AM to 2:00PM.<br />
<br />
=====Dinner=====<br />
[[Dinner]] features the same offerings as lunch, except that the sandwich bar is reduced in size to make way for the [[wok station]], which is sort of a miniature Mongolian BBQ thing. Sometimes there is a [[personal pizza bar]] instead.<br />
<br />
Dinner is available from 4:30PM to 7:30PM, seven days a week.<br />
<br />
====Oak Room====<br />
The [[Oak Room]] is located right next to the Caf and you can cross over from one to the other and back. The atmosphere and the food in the Oak Room are somewhat better. The Oak Room offers a themed menu each day, and the food is served instead of a self-serve buffet. It has ample seating, and is quieter than the Caf. The theme menus range from international street foods to pasta bars and anything in between.<br />
<br />
The Oak Room is open for lunch Monday through Friday from 11:00AM to 1:30PM, and for dinner Monday through Thursday from 5:00PM to 7:00PM. It is closed on weekends, in part so that local high schools can hold their proms there.<br />
<br />
====Gizmo====<br />
The [[Gizmo]] is a snack bar and short-order grill, open all day. Its offerings include soft drinks, coffee, a sub bar, grilled items such as hamburgers and chicken sandwiches, various breakfast items, [[bagel pizza|bagel]] and personal pizzas, and a daily special available during lunchtime. It is most famous for its [[breakfast bagel]].<br />
<br />
The Gizmo is open on Monday through Thursday from 10:00AM to 1:00AM. On Friday and Saturday it is open from 10:00AM to 12:00AM. On Sunday it is open from 2:00PM to 1:00AM. Lunch specials are available while the other eateries are serving lunch. The sub bar generally closes two hours before the Gizmo closes, and the grill closes a half hour before closing.<br />
<br />
====Grab-n-Go====<br />
The [[Grab-n-Go]] is a quick bagged lunch for people who are in too much of a hurry to go to the Gizmo, but not in enough hurry to skip a long line. It offers a daily-changing selection of sandwiches, sides, and drinks. There is one Grab-n-Go in [[Seymour Hall]], and another in [[Post Lobby]].<br />
<br />
====Breakfast Grab-n-Go====<br />
The [[Breakfast Grab-N-Go]] is located in the [[Oak Room]] and works much the same as the lunch one, except with breakfast food and much shorter lines.<br />
<br />
====Outpost====<br />
Don't call it the Outpost, call it the [[C-Store]]. It offers the widest range of drinks on campus, as well as condiments, microwave food, ice, chips, some basic groceries and hygiene products, prophylactics, and over-the-counter medicines. It does not sell [[alcohol]] or [[tobacco]]. The prices and selection are sometimes better at [[Quick Sam's]], and the hours are certainly longer. However, the C-store defnintely carries more natural food/organic/grocery items than the Quickie.<br />
<br />
The C-Store is open Monday through Friday from 8:30AM to 11:00PM, and Saturday and Sunday from 12:00PM to 10:00PM.<br />
<br />
==Advisors and Picking Classes==<br />
Each [[student]], upon matriculation, is assigned their very own [[advisor]], whom they share with some number of other [[first-year]]s, as well as three classes' worth of other students. [[Professor]]s who are in their first year of teaching at Knox are not permitted to take on advisees. For first-years the professor assignment is random, since your [[major]] has not been declared; once your major is declared you have one advisor of your choice (and their consent) for each major, although most people generally decide on one as their primary advisor for picking [[class]]es.<br />
<br />
During [[First-Year Orientation]], as mentioned before, professors are supposed to invite incoming students over for dinner in order to pad the [[admission]] brochures, give [[Dining Services]] some grace time to get their act together, and to a lesser extent to get to know them and have them get to know each other.<br />
<br />
Classes are picked in an advisor's office, by appointments – most advisors have sign-ups posted on their doors for each [[pre-enrollment]] period. At the appointment, there may be some discussion of your academic track and so on, based on whatever your circumstances are. If you haven't yet done so, they may start urging you to figure out your major or work on your [[Educational Development Plan]]. The professor reviews your [[EDR]], and then ultimately you are allowed to pick classes, which usually you have pre-selected using the [[class schedule]] mailed to you (either to home for incoming first-years or to your campus mailbox for all other terms). The professor enters your selections into the computer, and undertakes (or not, as the case may be) to give "instructor permission" or override prerequisites.<br />
<br />
If a chosen class is nearly full, they may encourage students with less seniority to take something else. After the pre-enrollment period, the numbers are totaled up, and after setting aside spaces for the sign-ups who have to have the class, they perform a lottery for everyone else. This is intended to keep it fair between early and late sign-ups; however, since advisors can see the current totals, you're more likely to get placed in your top choices, at least at first, if you sign up early.<br />
<br />
==Campus Employment==<br />
Most [[campus employment]] opportunities are offered with prejudice to students who have [[work-study]] allotments as part of their [[Financial Aid]] package. Some programs allow non-work-study students to sign up several weeks into the term, if there is any space remaining, and some of the less formal ones don't necessarily care as much one way or the other.<br />
<br />
Work-study allotments can be for up to ten hours a week, which, under the $7.50 minimum wage in effect for 2007-2008, amounts to about $2250 for the year. You actually pay to the school the entirety of the allotment as part of the [[tuition]] checks; the actual work-study done is then "reimbursed" to you through paychecks. The caveat here is that few students will get paychecks amounting to the full amount. The income, after all, may be taxable. Also, there is a shortage of work-study positions on campus (at the very least, while there is a mathematical equality, the actual difficulties of holding multiple work-study jobs to fill smaller voids lead to some amount of de facto campus unemployment or underemployment).<br />
<br />
For incoming first-years there is a [[job fair]] held in [[CFA]]. Those who don't get offers from that may have to go around to specific places and ask (this is how it's done for everyone else). The [[Dining Services]] office, where your [[ID card]] was made, is where signups are for all Dining Services positions.<br />
<br />
Student employee positions are of three types: monitors (for instance in the computer labs), service employees (for instance in Dining Services), and office-ish work ([[libraries]], [[publication]] [[editor]]s, and sundry departments).<br />
<br />
However, there are also departmental jobs that you gain after a year of being at school, most notably through the [[Theatre]] which includes jobs of skill like the [[Scene Shop]], [[Costume Shop]], and Departmental Dramaturg.<br />
<br />
Generally, the least desirable positions are considered to be those in Dining Services and [[Facilities Services]]. The most desirable positions are library jobs and some of the office work, most of which is only available to returning students who have a rapport with the particular office. Facilities and Dining positions aren't necessarily bad, however, and some students have opted to work in the same position for several years at a time. Dining Services is also first-come, first-serve, and does not offer advantage based on seniority. The [[Gizmo]] used to run its schedule separately and did give weight to seniority, but then Dining Services stole it. The other big advantage to Dining Services work is that it offers a $100 bonus beyond one's work-study allotment for students who work 90% of their scheduled shifts.<br />
<br />
Many positions must tabulate their hours using [[KRONOS]], the employment computer system. Some Dining Services employees only have to swipe their ID card in and out. Some of the office positions have tallying by hand, or are basically salaried for a particular number of hours regardless of what is worked.<br />
<br />
===Off-Campus===<br />
Some students choose to work off-campus. Some places employing students are [[Innkeeper's]], [[Kaldi's]], [[Chez Willy's]], and [[Cornucopia]]. Those with cars and a lot of time may commute to Peoria or the Quad Cities to work.<br />
<br />
==Honor Code==<br />
The [[Honor Code]] is Knox's policy of academic honesty. It was adopted in 1951. Many students have learned all about the principles of academic honesty in [[high school]]; some haven't; some haven't and think they have. All students, regardless of prior instruction in the matter, should thoroughly read the Honor Code booklet, which is sent to all first-years by mail. Knox considers all students as having read and agreed to it by matriculating, and thus students will be held fully liable for failure to comply with the Honor Code. A PDF copy of the pamphlet is available [http://www.knox.edu/prebuilt/PDFs/HonorBooklet.pdf here].<br />
<br />
The Honor Code basically says that the school trusts students not to cheat, but if they do the school will pull no punches. As part of the trust component, professors are not supposed to monitor students during exams, and students are allowed to take exams anywhere in the building (except bathrooms and other nonpublic areas). However, students are expected to report suspicious behavior to the [[Honor Board]], and professors are required to – they are not allowed to deal with cases of alleged academic dishonesty informally.<br />
<br />
===Honor Board===<br />
The [[Honor Board]] is the enforcer of the Honor Code, and the tribunal for students accused of academic dishonesty. It is comprised of nine students, three from each class, as well as two members of the faculty. The co-chairs of Honor Board for 2009-2010 are [[Carrie Bueche]] and [[Hannah Cynn]]. <br />
<br />
When a student is accused of academic dishonesty, the Honor Board is convened to hear the evidence and various sides of the story. Verdicts have generally been for guilty, since Knox makes it rather difficult to get caught in the first place. The standard penalty for the first offense is an F in the class; for the second, [[expulsion]]. Deviations are rarely made, and certainly not for professed ignorance. Again, you should probably read that pamphlet.<br />
<br />
Honor Board decisions may be appealed on three grounds: new evidence, procedural error, or Honor Board bias. Appeals are heard by an appeals committee consisting of the [[Dean of the College]] and one Honor Board member.<br />
<br />
If you are wealthy, or your parents are [[alumni]] and/or have been generous in their giving to the school, certain officials of the [[administration]] have been rumored to be willing to intervene on your behalf in order to satisfy [[financial impregnability|higher goals]]. The reality and frequency of this intervention is unclear.<br />
<br />
==Campus Safety and Discipline==<br />
[[Campus Safety]] is Knox's security force. They make rounds of the school, unprop doors, pour out beer, and the like. Sometimes they drive around in a heavy-duty golf cart. Their Knox extension is x7979.<br />
<br />
Campus Safety maintains the emergency phones located throughout campus (they have blue lights on them). They manage keys, and maintain the [[Escort]] program for nighttime walking. If you need to get into a campus building (such as [[WVKC]]), or you are locked out of your room, Campus Safety lets you in. You get two free [[lockout]]s for your room each year, and after that they charge you. Lost keys cost $50 to replace.<br />
<br />
Campus Safety also breaks up [[parties]], or drops in on registered parties to ensure that there is not any illicit [[alcohol]] service. However, on the whole they are more concerned with making sure nobody is in danger, and only address alcohol violations when they are obvious.<br />
<br />
[[John Schlaf]], the [[Campus Safety Director]], used to be the Chief of the [[Galesburg Police Department]], so Knox and the GPD have a close working relationship.<br />
<br />
===Alcohol Violation===<br />
If you are caught in an alcohol violation, one of two things may happen to you. At a large party, for instance, your drink may be confiscated without consequence. However, at smaller events he will ask for your ID card, and from it ascertain your name and date of birth. If you don't have it on you they will identify you from [[Faces]]. You will be cited, and within a few days the [[Office of Student Development]] will contact you to have you make an appointment with [[Debbie Southern]]. The proceedings for this are not sent home, even if you are on break, and your parents are not informed, even if you are a minor at the time. At your appointment, Debbie Southern tells you your options, and you can either admit the crime and pay the fine or go to a [[Conduct Council]] hearing to deny it. Sometimes she will dismiss the case herself if you have sufficient evidence to your benefit. The procedure is not at all harrowing, and the questioning is very limited. The standard fine for an alcohol violation is $40, payable in cash or as an addition to the student account at the [[Business Office]].<br />
<br />
Also, be nice to Debbie, she is not evil and is not out to get you. She's a geniunely nice person and understands college life, possibly better than some of the students. You have nothing to gain from going into her office in a bad mood and defenses up. She's not going to yell at you or make you feel bad. She just needs to know what happened.<br />
<br />
==Student Government==<br />
Knox maintains a substantial student government in order to, at least in theory, ensure the students' voice is heard. Which students? Well, that's a matter for debate.<br />
<br />
The chief part of student government is the [[Student Senate]]. The other major entity is [[Union Board]]. There is also an [[Intramurals Board]] and two Greek governance organizations, the [[Interfraternity Council]] and the [[Panhellenic Council]]. [[Honor Board]], [[Conduct Council]], and the [[Grievance Panel]] have significant student roles, but have been described above.<br />
<br />
===Student Senate===<br />
[[Student Senate]] is the [[Knox]] [[student]] body's primary legislative organization. It seats fifty senators, elected using plurality bloc voting by single- and multi-member districts, which are currently drawn by Senate's [[Executive Board]] each year. The Executive Board is comprised of a President, a Vice-President, a Treasurer, a Communications Officer, and the chairs of five committees (totaling eight, since the Treasurer is chair of the [[Finance Committee]]). Each of the fifty members of Senate belongs to one of these committees. Students are also drawn from Senate to serve as student representatives on faculty committees.<br />
<br />
Elections for district senators take place during [[Fall Term]] each year, and those elected take their seats by the beginning of October. Elections for officers take place each [[Spring Term]].<br />
<br />
Senate has advisory powers on all aspects of Knox's governance, and may pass resolutions expressing the sense of the Senate and its recommendations. These are often ignored; sometimes they are not. Senate members also work within the faculty committees and with the administration to effect their wishes. Senate's primary special power is the allotment of budget money to the various clubs on campus, both in yearly budgets and through the [[Senate Discretionary Fund]].<br />
<br />
Senate meets in the [[Round Room]] in [[CFA]] on Thursdays at 7:00PM. <br />
<br />
====Criticism of Student Senate====<br />
Student Senate has borne criticism on many different issues over the past several years. What democracy exists in the Senate was only introduced about five years ago, when Senate was changed from a self-appointing body to an elected one. However, some trends against democracy have been noted.<br />
<br />
In [[Spring Term 2007]], Senate voted to limit those eligible to run for President to those who had served on Senate for a year. This was an attempt to ensure that the chair of Senate meetings was already familiar with the procedures, but it was seen by many as a step away from democracy.<br />
<br />
Moreover, after Senate adjourned for [[Summer Break 2007]], the incoming Executive Board, using a questionable interpretation of the [[Text of Student Senate Constitution and By-Laws|Senate Constitution]], amended the By-Laws to [[Student Senate#Executive Board By-Laws Rewrite 2007|drastically alter key parts of Senate procedures]], so that all resolutions proposed by Student Senate would have to go through committee. This means that the Executive Board now has power to approve or deny the passage of a resolution based upon the opinions of an eight-person Executive Board, or even so small a group as the committee chair or the Senate President. Many senators have protested what appears, to them, to be a reduction to rubber-stamp status, without an opportunity to vote on it; the Executive Board intends to introduce the changes at the first Senate meeting as a fait accompli.<br />
<br />
Senate's electoral procedures have also been under fire in the past. Senate currently allows the Vice-President to draw new districts each year, leading to arbitrary and inconsistent district shapes and sizes. Some have alleged that this has also resulted in gerrymandering, most notably increasing the representation of certain small groups, of which [[TKE]] is the most notable. The use of plurality bloc voting, which allows voters to vote for as many candidates as there are positions, ensures that a small bloc of people voting together can disproportionately control the outcome in the district.<br />
<br />
There are fears that the current Executive Board will prove to be more amenable to the interests of the administration than those of the students.<br />
<br />
Publicity is also an issue. While Senate meetings are open to the public, the minutes taken and distributed to the school are not complete, and often butcher whatever the speakers were saying. Committee meetings are open to the public, but no minutes are taken. Executive Board meetings generally do not encourage public involvement, and no minutes are taken. This is especially notable because the Executive Board has directed more decisions through these less public channels.<br />
<br />
===Union Board===<br />
The [[Union Board]] is in charge of organizing major events on campus of all different shapes and sizes. They are most famous for organizing [[Flunk Day]].<br />
Union Board regularly receives criticism for the events it holds. When it was holding a number of smaller events, students wanted one big event. When they brought in [[Pablo Francisco]] (the biggest comedian Knox has the clout to book), the students didn't like it. Union Board cannot please all the people all the time.<br />
<br />
Then again, there are many who would say they pleased nobody.<br />
<br />
===Intramurals Board===<br />
The Intramurals Board is the organization in charge of intramural sports, such as [[Ultimate Frisbee]] or [[Dodgeball]] and more traditional sports. They are much less formalized and skill-conscious than the [[Athletics Department]].<br />
<br />
===Interfraternity and Panhellenic councils===<br />
The [[Interfraternity Council]] and the [[Panhellenic Council]] are the governing bodies for male and female Greek organizations. They address some judicial matters as well as plan events and so forth.<br />
<br />
==Publications and Radio==<br />
Knox maintains several [[publication]]s and one [[WVKC|radio station]]. Most of these publications are overseen and funded through the [[Broadcast, Internet, and Publications Board]] (Board of Publications), a subcommittee of the [[Student Life Committee]].<br />
<br />
===''The Knox Student''===<br />
''[[The Knox Student]]'', known informally as ''TKS'', is the school newspaper. It comes out weekly on Thursdays. It contains a large variety of information, including feature articles and news, outdated information about last week's Student Senate proceedings, national and international news briefs, the [[Campus Safety Log]] (a list of all [[Campus Safety]] reports and citations, including fire alarms and alcohol violations), movie and music reviews, the [[Mosaic]] culture section, the [[Discourse]] op-ed section, and a sports section. The newspaper office is in the [[S.S. McClure Publications Office]] in Seymour. ''TKS'' is funded through the Board of Publications.<br />
<br />
===''Catch''===<br />
''[[Catch]]'' is Knox's award-winning literary journal. It features mainly creative writing such as short stories and poetry, as well as some [[photography]] for aesthetic appeal. Other genres, such as journalism or critical works, are sometimes accepted, but generally if they offer interest in the [[Creative Writing]] sphere only. Each ''Catch'' issue (there are two each year) is designed differently, with a level of complexity ranging from boringly elegant to matchbook-pasted-to-the-front-cover pretentious. ''Catch'' is a selective publication, and those pieces that are accepted are edited at the whims of the editors. The selection process is blind to help reduce bias. The ''Catch'' office is in the S.S. McClure Publications Office in Seymour. The current Editors-in-Chief are [[Brian Lowe]] and [[Alice Holbrook]]. ''Catch'' is funded through the Board of Publications.<br />
<br />
===''Cellar Door''===<br />
''[[Cellar Door]]'' is a more inclusive literary journal that focuses less on production and more on workshopping and the writing process. It is published about twice a year, using simple staple-bound newsprint. Each issue concentrates on a general theme, such as "Family" or "[[Suburb]]ia." ''Cellar Door'' features articles by [[faculty]] and others as well as by students. All submissions are accepted, so long as the writer is amenable to the workshopping process. Submitters are also required to sign a declaration saying that they love their work. If you don't love your work, stick with ''Catch''. ''Cellar Door'' is funded through the Board of Publications.<br />
<br />
===''Quiver''===<br />
''[[Quiver]]'' is a webzine collective started by several students and [[Robin Metz]]. It is comprised of three separate zines: ''[[The Third Level]]'', which publishes science fiction and fantasy; ''[[Wynken, Blynken, and Nod]]'', which publishes children's literature; and ''[[Diminished Capacity]]'', which publishes humor. Submissions are read collectively by ''Quiver's'' entire editorial board, but each webzine is managed by three of its own editors. It is currently not funded.<br />
<br />
===''The Common Room''===<br />
''[[The Common Room]]'' is an online journal of [[Literature|literary criticism]], begun in response to ''Catch'', which covers the Creative Writing aspects of the [[English Department]]. It is currently not funded.<br />
<br />
===WVKC===<br />
[[WVKC]] (The Voice) is Knox's radio station. The studio is located on the fourth floor of [[GDH]]. Almost all of the DJs are students; there is a signup and orientation meeting near the beginning of each term, advertised throughout campus. WVKC's frequency is 90.7 FM, and the broadcasting radius reaches about 55,000 area residents. WVKC is funded through the Board of Publications.<br />
<br />
==Clubs==<br />
The majority of student activities at Knox come under the auspices of the various student clubs. These clubs receive their funding from Student Senate, and use it as they see fit (subject to various regulations) to produce events and further causes.<br />
<br />
At the beginning of each school year there is a [[Club Fair]] where students can sign up to be on the mailing lists of various clubs.<br />

==Transportation and Getting Out==<br />
This section deals with transportation to, in, and from [[Galesburg]], and other destinations in the area.<br />
<br />
===Getting In===<br />
Galesburg is located at the intersection of [[Interstate 74]] and [[Highway 34]]. To find Galesburg, on a transportation map, look for the bend in I-74 south of the [[Quad Cities]] – that's Galesburg. <br />
<br />
To get to Galesburg from [[I-80]], take I-80 to the Quad Cities, and then go east on I-74.<br />
<br />
For other driving directions, it might be easier to consult a map.<br />
<br />
The nearest airports of consequence to Galesburg are [[Greater Peoria Regional Airport]] (PIA) and [[Quad City International Airport]] (MLI). PIA only has feeder flights to [[Chicago]] [[O'Hare]], but MLI has flights to and from Chicago O'Hare, [[Denver]], [[Dallas-Fort Worth]], [[Atlanta]], [[Detroit]], [[Minneapolis-St. Paul]], [[Las Vegas]], and [[Orlando]]. Due to the higher cost of using these smaller airports, many students fly into Chicago O'Hare (ORD) or Chicago [[Midway]] (MDW) and get a ride or take the [[train]] into Galesburg. Knox offers a shuttle service to PIA and MLI, as well as [[Bradley University]], at the beginning and end of each [[term]]. A small fee is assessed. With prior reservation, you can also book a [[taxi]] ride for $50, if the shuttles do not fit your time needs.<br />
<br />
Galesburg is served by a number of trains, all run by [[Amtrak]]. The [[California Zephyr]] is a transcontinental train running from Chicago to [[San Francisco]] via Denver, with one train per day in each direction. Eastbound trains into Galesburg are late by several hours. The [[Southwest Chief]] is another transcontinental train running from Chicago to [[Los Angeles]] via [[Albuquerque]], and is usually on time. The [[Illinois Zephyr]] is daily service between Chicago and [[Quincy]], with an eastbound train in the morning and a westbound one in the evening. The [[Carl Sandburg (train)|Carl Sandburg]] follows the same route as the California Zephyr, with a westbound train in the morning and an eastbound one in the evening. These short-run trains are largely co-financed by Amtrak and the [[Illinois]] Department of Transportation. The train station is about four blocks from campus.<br />
<br />
===Travel within Galesburg===<br />
Accessing much of downtown is easy by foot, but for reaching the rest of town owning or borrowing a [[car]] or [[bicycle]] is necessary. There are three [[bus]] routes in Galesburg running on complicated loops once each hour, but only until around 6:00PM. The bus terminal is at [[Main Street|Main]] and [[Kellogg Street|Kellogg]] streets, and all three buses depart from there every hour on the hour. The fare is 60 cents. Few use the bus, but if time is not very important it is cheaper than calling a taxi. The schedules and routes can be found [http://www.ci.galesburg.il.us/transit/citybus.htm here].<br />
<br />
Galesburg taxis are sketchy.<br />
<br />
===Getting out of Galesburg===<br />
For those used to the bright lights and big city, Galesburg can feel a little oppressively Galesburg.<br />
<br />
The main destinations close to Galesburg are [[Peoria]] and the [[Quad Cities]], each about 45 minutes away by car on I-74. They offer more shopping and dining options. The nereast actual big cities are [[St. Louis]] and Chicago, each about three hours away by car. Chicago, as mentioned above, can also be reached by train. Within Chicago there is the [[CTA]] and the [[Metra]] for mass transit – Midway lies at the south end of the orange line, and O'Hare at the north end of the blue line on CTA. There are also all the well-known tourist attractions of Chicago. Sadly, it is not close enough to be a common destination, except on the way to the airport, unless you either live in Chicago or have a car.<br />
<br />
==Conclusion==<br />
The Wiki Fire community hopes that this Knox Survival Guide will help you get your bearings quickly and adapt to your new surroundings, bleak and agricultural though they may be. As you spend more time here, you will come to recognize the ineffable [[The Knox Experience|Knox culture]]: the flouncing dramas of the 1350 students, the quirky but lovable periodic incompetence of the [[administration]], the nuances of non-nuance that flow from [[Galesburg]]. If you love Knox, you will find the strangest reasons to love it more, and even if you hate Knox you'll come to have a grudging appreciation of its idiosyncrasies. Or you'll [[transfer]]. Either/or.<br />

<div>{|<br />
|Add solutions as you find them. [[The Wiki Fire]] is a community learning experience. If you post what you learn, others can build on that knowledge. Some day, this page should be able to answer nearly any question about Wiki functionality. <br />
<br />
For formatting help, here is the Cheat Page from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Cheatsheet Wikipedia]. I don't know if it all applies to these pages, but most of it should.<br />
<br />
You can also download this [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Wiki-refcard.pdf one-page Wiki Reference Card (PDF)] and print it out. Keep it by your computer.<br />
| width="250px" |<br />
{{Policies}}<br />
|} <br />
== Creating a page ==<br />
<br />
Search [[The Wiki Fire]] for an article. If that article does not exist, the site will ask you if you would like to create it. Do it! The more people use this Web site, the more usefulit will become.<br />
<br />
If you just have a couple of things to say, go ahead and write them as clearly as you can. If you have a lot to say, you might want to organize them into categories--check out the table of contents subheading.<br />
<br />
===Plurals===<br />
<br />
If you have a plural noun, like "First-years" or "Classes," the page for it should be under the singular of the noun, so: "First-year;" "Class." It wouldn't be a bad idea to have a redirect page at the plural though. (See below.)<br />
<br />
=== Capitalization ===<br />
<br />
THE WIKI FIRE AUTOMATICALLY CAPITALIZES THE FIRST LETTER OF ANY ARTICLE. AUTOMATICALLY. KNOW THIS.<br />
<br />
If you're writing about a proper noun--a club, a building, a person, a department--please use title case for the aticle title. Lets say you're editing the article for CFA. You can make sure you're using the right case by looking at the URL of the page you're at. It should go something like this: <br />
<br />
http://www.thewikifire.org/index.php?title=Ford_Center_for_the_Fine_Arts&action=edit<br />
<br />
Note that most of the words are capitalized, but little words, like "for" and "the", aren't.<br />
<br />
If you spot a problem, just change it and hit enter. The page will reload and you'll edit the properly capitalized page.<br />
<br />
If you're dealing with something that people might have trouble capitalizing, or might be looking for under another title, check out the section on redirects.<br />
<br />
If a page is already located under an incorrect capitalization (see "capitalization" under "creating pages"), skip on to the "move" section.<br />
<br />
== Editing a page ==<br />
<br />
To edit an article, click the edit tab and start making changes and/or adding information. To help site [[editors]] and other interested users, add a brief description of your changes to the "Summary" bar directly above the "Save page" button. <br />
<br />
Make sure you use the "Show preview" button to make sure your changes all worked before saving the page. This will help keep the page change history clean and easy to follow. However, if you make a mistake, no worries. Everybody has to learn somehow.<br />
<br />
[[The Wiki Fire]] is your playground and a useful tool. Please experiment.<br />
<br />
=== Creating a table of contents on a page ===<br />
The table of contents will be automatically created once there are four or more sections on the page. A section is created by using the "=" character as follows:<br />
#<nowiki> == headline == will create a main section</nowiki>.<br />
#<nowiki> === subheadline == will create a subsection</nowiki>.<br />
#<nowiki> ==== sub-subheadline === will create a subsection within that subsection</nowiki>.<br />
For an example, click edit on this page and see how the different sections were created.<br />
<br />
=== Creating links ===<br />
There are two kinds of links in [[The Wiki Fire]], internal links and external links. A wiki depends on tagging as many internal links as possible, so this is important.<br />
<br />
To create an internal link, put the word you would like to link in brackets as follows.<br><br />
'''Type:''' <nowiki>[[The Wiki Fire]]</nowiki><br><br />
'''Get:''' [[The Wiki Fire]]<br />
<br />
To create an external link, put the entire URL, including the <nowiki>http://</nowiki> into one set of brackets. This style can also be used for citing sources.<br><br />
'''Type:''' <nowiki>[http://www.bigmuddyrecords.org/ Big Muddy Records]</nowiki><br><br />
'''Get:''' [http://www.bigmuddyrecords.org/ Big Muddy Records]<br />
<br />
'''Type:''' There are five bands on this label.<nowiki>[http://www.bigmuddyrecords.org/]</nowiki><br><br />
'''Get:''' There are five bands on this label.[http://www.bigmuddyrecords.org/]<br />
<br />
There are also buttons above the editing window you can use if you forget how to link.<br />
<br />
===Creating a redirect page ===<br />
<br />
Lets say you're working on the page for CFA. The official title of the page is Ford Center for the Fine Arts, but nobody's going to go looking for that. They're going to type in "CFA" and expect to find the page.<br />
<br />
But we don't want two articles in two different places, do we. that would be a mess. This is what redirects were created for.<br />
<br />
What you would do is edit the CFA page, and then type in<br />
<br />
<nowiki>#REDIRECT[[Ford Center for the Fine Arts]]</nowiki><br />
<br />
and then save the page.<br />
<br />
This also works for capitalizations. For example, some people might go looking for the "Ford Center '''F'''or '''T'''he Fine Arts". It would be good to have that page redirect to "Ford Center for the Fine Arts", too.<br />
<br />
If a page is already located under an incorrect capitalization (see "capitalization" under "creating pages"), skip on to the "move" section.<br />
<br />
=== Move Pages ===<br />
<br />
Every published page has a "move" button. Use it with caution--only if a page really is in the wrong place. Maybe it has the wrong capitalization, maybe it's named "classes" when it should be named "class".<br />
<br />
The moving process is really pretty self-explanatory: you just type in a new title for the page. The old page is replaced with a redirect to the new one. (handy!)<br />
<br />
=== Creating a small table (meeting times) ===<br />
This table is perfect for bits of information like meeting times, but will not really work for large chunks of text or images. If you find more uses, be sure to write them here.<br />
<br />
'''Type:'''<br />
<br />
<nowiki><properties></nowiki><br />
<br />
<nowiki>Day=Mondays</nowiki><br />
<br />
<nowiki>Time=8 p.m.</nowiki><br />
<br />
<nowiki>Place=[[The Human Rights Center]]</nowiki><br />
<br />
<nowiki></properties></nowiki><br />
<br />
'''Get:'''<br />
<br />
<properties><br />
Day=Mondays<br />
Time=8 p.m.<br />
Place=[[The Human Rights Center]]<br />
</properties><br />
<br />
===Creating a larger table===<br />
For more complex information, use this table. A number of examples can be found on the [[List of Current and Former Student Senators]] page.<br />

==Uploading/using images==<br />
<br />
Images are great additions to Wiki Fire pages. They add interesting visual information to pages and are encouraged for people to use. If you would like to use an image you must first upload it on the upload file page. Simply press the choose file button and select the file you would like to upload to Wiki Fire. Wiki Fire uses the same file name as the image, so if you want to change it you can do so in the Destination: Filename section. Keep in mind that there may be more than one file with the same name. If that is the case, you will have to choose another name before you can upload the file, In the summary section, please write where you got the image and especially it's copyright status. <br />
<br />
Most images taken from Web sites are copyrighted and therefore should not be used. If an image is without a copyright explanation can and will be deleted by the Web site administrators. Images created by yourself can be used. Please note if you want the use of your image to be only on Wiki Fire. Preferably, you would release it as a Creative Commons image and let people use the image in any capacity they choose. Just let readers know via the summary what you want to do.<br />
<br />
After the image is uploaded, you will be taken to an image page, which is basically the location of the image on Wiki Fire (it's the same name you gave the file when you uploaded it). To use it on a Wiki Fire page you will need to go to edit and write '''<nowiki>[[Image:{name}}]]</nowiki>''' on the site, which will link to the image page. Where you put the link will determine the location of the picture on the page. You can also manipulate the look and location of the image through a couple of additions to the image link, including changes to the size(by increasing the pixel count of the image), location (right/left/or centered on the page), making the image a thumbnail of a larger image, and the additions of captions(which can contain links to other pages, citations or other info). To do this you simply add the | symbol after the image link. The order in which you do this does not matter, as long as the image link comes first. Ex. '''<nowiki>[[Image:{name}|{type}|{location}|{size}|{caption}]]</nowiki>''' For an actual picture of how this looks, here is a visual example:<br />
[[Image:5th Lincoln Douglas debate Knox College.jpg|thumbnail|200px|center|A sketch of the Lincoln-Douglas debates at [[Knox College]]]]<br />
<br />
You can use the same process to upload other types of files such as sound of music (which should be only for appropriate pages).<br />
Get started!<br />
<br />
== Fun features ==<br />
=== Google Maps usage ===<br />
Click on the "make a map" link on any edit page and use the interface to find the spot you want. The page will load with the map preset to that location.<br />
<br />
=== YouTube integration ===<br />
<br />
You can embed any video on YouTube into this wiki. Here's how you do it.<br />
<br />
# Find a video on YouTube and copy down its YouTube ID. This can be found in the address bar. and looks something like ii8wMv3k1XQ.<br />
# Go to the spot on the page you would like to add the embedded video to and type <nowiki>"<youtube v="ii8wMv3k1XQ" />"</nowiki>, replacing the ii8wMv3k1XQ with the YouTube ID you found.<br />
<br />
For an example in working, visit the [[Galesburg Backyard Wrestling]] page. Click edit if you would like to see how the video was placed.</div>CFG21http://thewikifire.org/index.php?title=The_Wiki_Fire&diff=30890The Wiki Fire2017-07-19T03:21:02Z<p>CFG21: Undo revision 30863 by 37.35.148.60 (talk)</p>

<div>[[Image:Main-Street-1.jpg|thumb|Main Street looking east from Cherry Street]]<br />
'''Main Street''' is a street in [[Galesburg]]. It runs east-west, and marks the zero line on the north-south address axis.<br />
<br />
The street runs from its western end at South Pickard Road (where it turns into State Highway 164) to its eastern end at State Street (County Road 9) in [[East Galesburg]].<br />
<br />
West of [[Broad Street]] it is called West Main Street, and east of Broad Street it is called East Main Street.<br />
<br />
==Features==<br />
Main Street runs the entire length of Galesburg. The [[Public Square]] roundabout is at its intersection with Broad Street. Main Street has an intersection with [[Interstate 74]] near its eastern end and with [[Highway 34]] near its western end.<br />
<br />
Destinations along Main in downtown Galesburg are numerous. Bars on the street include [[La Mesa]] and [[Big John’s Silver Dollar Saloon]] at [[West Street|West]] and Main, [[Billiards on Main]] at [[Prairie Street|Prairie]] and Main, and [[Crappy’s]] just east of [[Seminary Street]]. Popular restaurants along Main include [[Joy Garden]] between [[Kellogg Street]] and [[Prairie Street]] and [[The Broadview]] attached to the [[America’s Best Value Inn]] on the Public Square. Other services include [[Dollar General]], the [[UPS Store]] at Main and [[Seminary Street|Seminary]], the [[One Stop Smoker’s Shop]] between Kellogg and Seminary, and the America’s Best Value Inn on the Public Square, which is a popular hotel for Knox visitors. There are several antique shops on Main, most notably the [[Antique Mall]] between Kellogg and Seminary. [[Jalisco's]] and a combination [[Hy-Vee]] and [[Hy-Vee Wine and Spirits]] are located near the I-74 interchange.<br />
<br />
==Main Street in Contemporary Discourse==<br />
Main Street is good. Wall Street is bad. What happens on one has absolutely no relationship to the well-being of the other.<br />

<div>The daily newspaper of Galesburg, IL.<ref>[http://www.galesburg.com/ The Register-Mail] the daily newspaper of Galesburg, IL.</ref> [[Tom Martin]], the paper's editor-in-chief, teaches a class at Knox every year, and publishes the best of his students' work in the Register-Mail so they can use the articles for clips when they're trying to find jobs or internships.<br />
<br />
==Buyout==<br />
The Register-Mail, formerly owned by Copley, was purchased by [[GateHouse Media, Inc.]], the company that owns [[The Paper]] and the Peoria Journal-Star, April 11, 2007. This is a strong blow to Galesburg free media, as GateHouse has a strong history of gutting paper staffs and overworking their printing presses. It also removes what competition there might have been between The Paper and the Register-Mail.<br />
<br />
===Publisher steps down===<br />
Don Cooper has stepped down as publisher of ''The Register-Mail'', reportedly surprising staff with the announcement.<br />
<br />
==New Web site==<br />
They have a snazzy new Web site, but for some reason they moved to [http://www.galesburg.com Galesburg.com]. Register-Mail.com was a great domain name. I mean, who uses hyphens in a URL? That was awesome.<br />
<br />
The new Web site is easier on the eyes, and they are going to focus more on multimedia, especially video.<br />
<br />
===Archive===<br />
The new site seems to have lost the online archive that they had going. This will make citations on [[The Wiki Fire]] difficult until they get it back up.<br />

<br />
==Mood==<br />
<br />
*I guess the most imporant question for me at this point is, should The WikiFire aim to be encyclopedic like Wikipedia is? On Wikipedia subjective statements are fair game to be removed, but at least one editor on WikiFire has indicated that opinions are fine, and that the subjectivity of information is not ground for it to be disincluded. I'll add something to the "Mood" section, but just as a starting point. I hope other people will help work out an answer to this question.<br />
<br />
<br />
*I feel like subjectivity is one of the elements of this site that will have to somehow be judged on a case-by-case basis. This site does not have the same goal that Wikipedia has, I don't think. The truth is as the heart of the site, but "truth" here means "true" student opinion. I feel like the site should be an accurate portrayal of how students define their school and community. So we are not creating an encyclopedia the way Wikipedia is, we are creating an encyclopedia of student emotion and sentiment. But that is just how I see it. If others would like to see it go a different way, it can and should be up for debate. Please, let's get more voices on this. — [[User:Tfooq|Tfooq]] 04:19, 9 May 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
<br />
*Even wikipedia allows opinion in a form, it's possible to express opinion and stay objective. If the page details popular positions held by the student body / staff, and the author makes an attempt to record '''all''' those positions we go from a biased article to a thorough article. I think it's when an article only expresses one opinion that the truth gets skewed. — [[User:Mattbaker|Mattbaker]] 10:13, 9 May 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
*I agree with Tom on the case-by-case thing. As far as I've seen, though, articles have been monitoring themselves pretty well--someone will say a one-sided thing, and someone else will add the other side. Having biased opinions is okay as long as we have a variety of biased opinions, I figure. -deana<br />
<br />
== Policy on people ==<br />
<br />
I just have this nagging feeling that TWF needs to pre-emptively have more of a policy with respect to pages and statements about specific people. I sandboxed a draft of such a policy at [[User:Blahedo/Policy on people]]; please edit and comment. (Note also that this policy really ought to apply even to people not specifically "members of our community"....) /[[User:Blahedo|blahedo]] ([[User talk:Blahedo|t]]) 21:27, 12 May 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
=="Thoughts"==<br />
''The following text is basically discussion, so I moved it off the main page. /[[User:Blahedo|blahedo]] ([[User talk:Blahedo|t]]) 02:47, 14 May 2007 (CDT)''<br />
<br />
* We should make available the Creative Commons license that prevents the use of the materials for commercial purposes. This will encourage people (I'm thinking photographers) to contribute without fear that anyway can just take anything and make money off of it.-afitz<br />
* The reason I made it completely free is so publications, which are commercial, will be able to use the information. I feel like free information should mean free information. A photographer's incentive, therefore, could be recognition. There is no rule against putting a credit to the photographer in the caption, or, let's say, a link to his/her photo Web site.-tfooq<br />
* Well of course free information is free information, as it is free information by definition no doubt. It just seems that we run the risk of limiting content when we don't allow people to say "Hey, I'm sharing this with all of you, you just can't sell it or make money off it." While the probability that someone looking for stock art or something runs across a Wiki image and takes it and uses it is fairly low, it would make me feel better (if nothing else) if I had the option to say "Hey, you can use this for personal use, but you can't use it commercially." I would certainly contribute more if this were the case. People are still going to use the images whether or not it's legal, I guess the point is if someone ''really'' uses an image, then legally I would be protected and I could make them stop using it. I'd rather put up my own stuff and make it high quality rather than someone swiping it from somewhere, putting up a low quality image, and then attributing it to someone else (which has already happened on here.) Just my thoughts. Oh, and most photographers consider name recognition on things like this to be pretty worthless.-afitz<br />
*This is a good conceptual and theoretical debate. It cuts to the core of the free information movement. We should get more thoughts on this.[[User:Tfooq|Tfooq]] 02:51, 14 May 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
==Deleting pages==<br />
<br />
So, I've been poking around on WikiMedia, learning more about Wikis in general. It seemed like the whole Fag/Faggot page issue would be a good test case to sort out TheWikiFire's conventions for deletion--ie What kind of pages can be deleted without discussion, how long discussion should be allowed to procede before action is taken, etc. [[User:GreatHeights|GreatHeights]] 15:12, 17 May 2007 (CDT) - moved here from Tfooq's user talk page<br />
<br />
I agree. There are some pages that could hardly have a place. I would say that they might some day be able to have a place if it so,e how came up in campus conversations and debate (see "Jesus Fucking Christ"), but as it is now, it is just mean. Does that sound reasonable? We should add a section to the code of ethics.[[User:Tfooq|Tfooq]] 15:16, 17 May 2007 (CDT) - moved here from GreatHeights's user talk<br />
<br />
Sounds good to me. Do we want to use Wikipedia's guidelines for how long to allow discussion on a page proposed for deletion as a starting point? Or do we just want to start from scratch? BTW, I'm working on getting up some templates for things like proposing deletion, merger, etc. [[User:GreatHeights|GreatHeights]] 15:20, 17 May 2007 (CDT) - moved here from Tfooq's user talk page<br />
<br />
Also, are you thinking that, regarding the specific pages in question that we should go ahead and delete them without discussion? I'm personally not opposed to that. I just wanted to make sure that some sort of discussion regarding deletion got started. [[User:GreatHeights|GreatHeights]] 15:21, 17 May 2007 (CDT) - moved here from Tfooq's user talk page<br />
<br />
I don't know who I was responding to either, since they didn't sign their comment. I have a tendency to want to "clean up" and organize, and that's why I was deleting some of the superflous pages and redirects. After someone questioned it though, I stopped to think about it, and realized that, like you said, there was really no harm being caused by those pages and no need to delete them. It also prompted my interest in establishing some guildines for deleting pages on TheWikiFire. [[User:GreatHeights|GreatHeights]] 15:58, 17 May 2007 (CDT) - moved here from Blahedo's user talk<br />
<br />
That's cool, man. I just don't see any reason those deserve articles, but I see no problem with setting proper precedent.--[[User:Ocarina|Ocarina]] 20:56, 17 May 2007 (CDT) - moved here from GreatHeights's user talk<br />
<br />
=="Obscene" images==<br />
The issue of typically-considered "obscene" images was bound to come up, so we should have a conversation about it now so we can come up with a guideline of some kind. It somewhat started with the lemonparty image, but has been brought into the realm of potential legitimacy on the [[Jesus Fucking Christ]] article. A user has uploaded an obscene cartoon, and I deleted it because A: It was probably copyrighted and B: it did not bring much to the Knox discussion table. However, that user then brought a counter-argument that I thought was valid enough to bring to the table. The idea that being offensive, or maybe not, is at the heart of this campus-wide debate. And I should not be the decision-maker. I will copy [[User:Mantique]]'s couter-argument below. Please lend any thoughts to the matter.[[User:Tfooq|Tfooq]] 21:23, 24 May 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
It's o.k. ...really. This is in no way libelous. It is a useful graphic illustration of the contraversy. Wiki fire should not be in the buisness of deciding what is and is not 'suitable' . More precisely, *you* should not be in that buisness. This is a democratic space -- at the very least, give some time and discussion before making hegemonic decisions. Or, better, we can just let the fucking FCC make the decisions for us. [[User:Mantique]]<br />
<br />
I think in general, this is another area that's going to have to be a case by case judgement call. I agree that in most cases, we should make use of the Talk pages and to leave it open for discussion before something is removed. But in the end, ''someone'' has to make a decision. And in some cases, though maybe not this one, it may be so obvious that discussion isn't warranted. [[User:GreatHeights|GreatHeights]] 08:58, 25 May 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
Ok, well, now I've seen the cartoon, and...come on. I don't see how this is in any way a "useful" graphic representation of the controversy. A useful graphic representation would be a picture of the cover of the Flunk Day TKS. This is just a dirty cartoon that has nothing to do with the actual issue. And I'm sorry, but I have to question the sincerety of anyone claiming that said cartoon is useful or needed. It serves no purpose other than to fan the flames of controversy. I also think at some point we can use our common sense to know that a pornographic cartoon of a religious figure is patently offensive (I would venture to say that was the intent of the cartoonist, unless you can explain to me some subtext that I'm missing). I still stand by my above comments about generally letting a discussion ensure before removing questionable things. But I disagree with the idea that the editors should 'never' use their judgement to decide if something is "suitable". Tom, I think you made the right call in this case. Sorry this is so verbose. [[User:GreatHeights|GreatHeights]] 09:20, 25 May 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
Well, I think it brings up an interesting decision that we need to work out. Sure, I agree that this image does not bring anything to the table (and it's probably copyrighted), but who should govern what is and is not appropriate? I think we definitely need to define this. I will do some research on what other sites are doing and bring some idea. Everyone else should, too, because this issue is not going to go away.[[User:Tfooq|Tfooq]] 19:15, 25 May 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
Well, I think it is appropriate to ban pornographic images. I realize that the definition of pornography is a bit subjective, but I think at the very least images of people engaged in sex acts is a good line to draw, including cartoons. I mean, I'm not prude here, I'm not even a Christian, but that image offended me if only because its only possible purpose is to offend. [[User:GreatHeights|GreatHeights]] 14:41, 26 May 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
Let us not take ourselves too serously here. Why draw an arbitrary line at people engaged in sex acts? I mean, why not go a bit further and ban the discussion of sex acts or using dirty words? "Offensiveness" or "obscenity" is far too subjective a realm to really have much use in a democratic space. Lible is one thing( as is copyright). It is a legal convention which can be clearly defined without getting into too much grey territory. And further, it (libel) can genuinely damage the reputation...or whatever...of a person. Something deemed simply 'offensive' is entirely abstract. To be honest, I don't give two fucks one way or another--I just don't want to write a paper right now-- It is a silly cartoon which I found to be amusing and used inorder to illustrate the contraversy. That is, by adopting a Hullet-esq reactionary stance, you, mr. great heights, are participating in said illustration. "Fanning flames of contraversy" is a useful action. <br />
Wikipedia is perhaps the best thing that the interent has going for it. It is a free and egallitarian manner of distributing information.This site, however, is not Wikipedia and should not try to be. If we opporated by the rules governing Wikipedia, this site would in no way give an accurate representation of Knox College. If we got all bent out of shape every time some lumpen did something we didn't argee with and told said lumpen that he or she couldn't do whatever they were doing, then this would not be a very fun or creative place. A case in point: when the army recruiters came last fall, we didn't tell them to leave. Myself and a few friends simply set up a "Start up the Draft" table next to them and kept as straight a face as possible. Some students understood our satyrical action; some didn't (those who didn't were generally squares who took themselves too seriously). The recruiters seemed uncomfortable and have yet to return. Wikipedia is in some respects a useful model (see the entery on the Armenian Genocide), but attempting to make this page a dry, objective encyclopedia (as great hieghts seems to advocate) with pseudo-victorian standards of decency and modesty will undermine its potential. ...ok...I'll shut up now. I should really get to that paper. Talk is cheap.<br />
<br />
<br />
Ok, first of all, I don't think my response was reactionary, nor am I advocating any "psuedo-victorian" standards of decency. I was simply obliging [[user:Tfooq|Tfooq]] and offering my opinion on the issue at hand. While fanning flames of controversy may be a useful action, I don't think it was in this case. My impression from everything I've read and heard about the situation is that the controversy had been quite adequately fanned, and I simply didn't think that the cartoon added anything whatsoever to the discussion of the TKS article. It only served to potentially reignite tensions that were being dealt with on campus. For the most part, as I noted above, I think potentially offensive material should be left for discussion until some sort of consensus can be reached. However, we don't leave every text edit up for discussion when it doesn't seem to add anything useful, so why do we have to do that for a graphic? So far, you are the only person who seems to think that this edit was inappropriate. [[User:GreatHeights|GreatHeights]] 15:50, 28 May 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
<br />
I think this discussion is perfect. What does the site want to be? It should be fun. It should push people. It should challenge conventions. I get very sick of "obscene" things getting edited. I want the full story, even if it bothers me. I don't see why the Wiki Fire can't do that. When copyright and libel issues are involved (or anything that would hurt an individual or group), there is no discussion. Whatever it is should come down. However, when we are dealing with issues of taste, there should be a discussion. If the TKS headline issue had been a discussion, this whole thing would not have been blown out of proportion. There is a valuable conversation and debate hidden there, but people on both sides of the debate (myself included) went the blow off steam route instead of talking about it. Had that cartoon not been copyrighted, there is a very interesting discussion to have. What "brings something to the table" and what does not is as subjective as anything. However, this site would go straight down the holes if there was just porno everywhere. So, I don't have the answer, but I feel like this is getting somewhere.[[User:Tfooq|Tfooq]] 16:07, 28 May 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
== Blocking users ==<br />
<br />
So we have had a couple spam messages on the main page talk already. I just blocked the IP of the last user. Should this be standard behavior for sysops, or does that set a dangerous precedent? [[User:Tfooq|Tfooq]] 18:46, 31 May 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
I think that if any reasonable person would determine that a person is spamming or doing massive vandalism (the penis/deleter guy) they should be blocked, no questions asked. --[[User:Afitz|Afitz]] 21:16, 31 May 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
'''Not so fast''' amigos y amigas. Each computer on Knox's network does ''not'' have a unique "outside" IP address. By blocking any non-registered user you are potentially blocking many people, and ''not'' even necessarily blocking the person doing the vandalism in the first place. Anonymous users with ip's originating from Knox cannot and should not be blocked. If this means requiring registration so be it. Existing blocks should be removed from the ip's originating from Knox since there's a good chance you banning perfectly legitimate users.<br />
<br />
Blocking non-Knox IP's is much safer, and important in the case of spammers who don't even know what Knox is (it's probably a bot anyway). If we need control over such things within the realm of the student body then registration will have to be required. You could take it one step further, tying registration to Knox email addresses would force accountability on the part of the author but would wreck anonymity, so I'm not convinced taking it ''that'' far is a good idea.<br />
-Matt<br />
<br />
i'm not saying permanently block an ip. but what happened a couple of fridays ago could have been prevented if we had just blocked the ip, even if for a half hour until the user got bored. then we unblock it later. or we could just let them reek havoc. --[[User:Afitz|Afitz]] 21:57, 31 May 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
I agree, blocking an ip for a half hour could save time in the instance of mass vandalism. One needs to be sure to remember to unblock the ip afterward, though. --[[User:Ocarina|Ocarina]] 22:01, 31 May 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
The issue we were discussing was blocking the IP of an off-campus Internet Spammer. Matt brings up a good point about blocking Knox IPs, and I think we are all in agreement with how to act in that situation (e.g. if intense vandalism, block until they get bored, then unblock). However, in the case of a non-Knox IP writing obvious spam (e.g. a bot), then just straight up blocking it shoudl not cause problems. All blocking does is prevent them from editing, anyway. If a mistake is made, they can always e-mail the editor and get it fixed. [[User:Tfooq|Tfooq]] 13:50, 1 June 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
== users involved in controversey ==<br />
<br />
If you look at the [[Talk:Jesus Fucking Christ]] page, you will see some comments made by me in my role as editor of TKS. I think there are key points missing to that page that could go a long way towards healing the situation instead of driving people further apart. However, I also realize that I am in no way the right person to be making those changes as I am at the very center of this controversy. I feel comfortable with revealing my involvement on the talk page and adding my thoughts that way, but I think we, the Wiki Fire users, should come up with a good plan of action for future situations similar to this one. We can probably use this situation as a good case study and decide exactly how someone involved in a controversy can get their thoughts out there without changing content directly. Or maybe those people's thoughts do not belong anywhere on this site. What do you all think? <br />
[[User:Tfooq|Tfooq]] 12:24, 9 June 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It's a tough line to walk when you're involved in a controversy, especially one like the JFC headline. You're right in that you're not the right person to be making those changes to the content of the [[Jesus Fucking Christ]] page and the [[TKS Hearing]] page. But the reality, perhaps unfortunately, is that your thoughts are central to the story. This is a lot like the discussions we had in the ''[[TKS]]'' office when we were deciding how to cover the Flunk Day controversy. I think the best thing to do is be as transparent as possible. <br />
<br />
That's why I like the idea of using the talk pages. Maybe I'm wrong, but isn't the purpose of having talk pages and UserTalk pages so this sort of discussion can happen? Yes, if you were to change the content of the JFC page directly, that would be bad, but using your own UserTalk page or the JFC talk page to get your thoughts out there is not a problem, in my humble opinion. Then, users can see the talk pages and decide whether they think it's appropriate to put it on the main page.<br />
<br />
Just my $.02 <br />

== Pages about courses ==<br />
<br />
It is a good thing to have pages about courses at the school. However, we should come up with some guidelines because some problems could/will arise. For example, we must be careful about students frustrated with a course using these pages to review the course or to let off steam. However, reviews of courses could be very useful to the school to bring an end to those classes at Knox that are just terrible (they do exist). So where should the lines be? We need to nail this down before classes start. [[User:Tfooq|Tfooq]] 14:45, 23 June 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
Well, the three course pages that I wrote (I think they're the only ones up - [[ART 119]], [[PS 362]], and [[PS 363]]) all use a basically identical format. I think it's best to maintain the sections like I wrote them, with more or less objective information about the class, the format, and so on, including a description of where the actual format differs from that suggested in the catalogue or on the syllabus. I think a separate section at the end, titled "Reviews" or something, and organized more or less like a talk page, might be the best way to allow people to give their opinions without having it interfere with the class description. [[User:Camozzi|Camozzi]] 18:06, 23 June 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
I like the idea of the "Review" section. It would adequately provide a place for subjective impressions of the class, which are both useful and totally inline with the overall spirit of TWF, while at the same time keeping it distinct from the objective information about the class, which I think is necessary for transparencies sake. It might be worth it to set up a template for Course pages to establish this format. I was also thinking something similar would be useful for the pages for Theatre shows. Just something to keep the site consistent. I just haven't got the hang of template making yet, or I'd set them up myself. [[User:GreatHeights|GreatHeights]] 11:25, 25 June 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
*I think Jake's on the money here. The WikiFire, unlike Wikipedia, is not so much a source of information but rather a way for an institution to reflect on itself. This is how Knox sees Knox. And that includes courses. Course reviews would be incredibly useful, both to current and prospective students. <br />
<br />
*I'm not sure what to do about the problem of people venting, though. It's a tough thing. For example, a bad teacher can ruin a potentially great course. But how far do we let it go? I'm inclined to say we don't allow personal attacks against teachers, but that's a gray area, as well. How do we keep the reviews constructively critical (of both professor and course)?<br />
<br />
*And I guess that brings up another point. As I said, a bad professor can ruin a potentially good course. How do we deal with the potentiality of students using the course review pages as a place to attack teachers?<br />
<br />
[[User:Billymax85|Bill M.]] 15:24, 25 June 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
I think that it might be useful to encourage students to make specific criticisms of courses; instead of writing "Professor X was boring," write something like "Professor X gave lectures based off of powerpoint slides for every class, which was boring." Specific comments will probably be the most useful for students and also for faculty who want to improve their courses. Students should also remember that faculty will be able to see reviews and that this isn't a completely anonymous medium. --[[User:Stockholm syndrome|Stockholm syndrome]] 16:27, 25 June 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
And if nothing else Brian's current creations allow a place for students to fill in the texts used for the course so that we can get them ahead of time. --[[User:Afitz|Afitz]] 00:52, 26 June 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
I agree that we should create a template. These course pages are a lot faster to create with a set structure already in place ([[PS 101]] is up now, too, by the way). As for dealing with poor quality criticism, I think the best we can do is add a little italicized admonishment to the beginning of the reviews section, saying something along the lines of ''"This section is designed to allow previous students to post opinions about the quality of the class, for the benefit of others who might be considering taking the course. When adding a comment, please specify the term you took the course and the name of the instructor. Try to be as specific as possible about what you did and did not like. Constructive criticism, both of the material and the professor, is encouraged, but personal attacks will be removed. Do not overwrite others' comments. You may automatically sign your comment using four tildes <nowiki>(~~~~)</nowiki> if you like."'' Something like that - it might not hurt to shorten it a little, if we can.

Okay, I took a stab at writing a template for courses. You can look at it at [[User_talk:Camozzi#Sample_Courses_Template]]. I tried to be pretty restrictive with it, so that the class pages would be, in objective information, as uniform in format as possible. The italicized parentheses thing might be a little difficult to parse out for somebody trying to use the template, but that can be fixed later. What do y'all think? [[User:Camozzi|Camozzi]] 02:33, 26 June 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
Not to hog the talk page, but you can see the Reviews section in action at a new course page, [[ANSO 300]]. [[User:Camozzi|Camozzi]] 05:37, 26 June 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
Looks good. My only concern is with potential copyright issues by suggesting that people copy and paste the course description from the Knox site. Any suggestions? [[User:GreatHeights|GreatHeights]] 10:04, 26 June 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
*I just wanted to add that I've taken a look at some of the course pages, and the template looks GREAT. I think that the course pages might be one of the best examples of the potential of TWF, and I also think that the way the concept was developed through this discourse was pretty sweet too. Good work. [[User:GreatHeights|GreatHeights]] 10:14, 26 June 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
I'm glad you like the template and pages. As for the copyright thing, I don't pretend to know a whole lot about copyright law, but we cite and link to the source and our use is noncommercial and all that. The use seems to me to be pretty fair. [[User:Camozzi|Camozzi]] 16:17, 26 June 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
[[PHIL 202]] and [[ANSO 102]] are up. These are my stab at dealing with classes that have different formats depending on who teaches them. Also, somebody else should start making some of these, because I'm going to run out of classes I've taken pretty soon, and at the very least it would be a good field test of the template. [[User:Camozzi|Camozzi]] 18:04, 26 June 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
Okay, folks. All the courses I've taken that I still have current information on are posted. Go look at them. Then go make your own for courses you've taken. They're not too hard: once you get a little ways along the learning curve you can pound one out in 15-20 minutes. [[User:Camozzi|Camozzi]] 06:05, 29 June 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
I am not a fan of the course descriptions being copied not so much for copyright reasons (though the school does own them) but more because it would be a lot more useful if the courses were defined by students anyway. Sometimes the Knox descriptions are terrible. If you have to use the course description, you should make sure it's very obvious that it's a quote from the site. As far as reviews go, let's remember that our faculty are professionals and that it will be more tempting for students who are angry to write things than for others to. I know that consensus should take care of this, but these areas should be watched with special care keeping this in mind.

<div>{|<br />
|The Wiki Fire community must follow the guidelines of [[libel law]] if it is to be positive and useful.<br />
<br />
However, after that, the code of ethics is open for discussion. The college-aged generation now is the first generation to grow and develop with the power of the [[Internet]]. [[Media]] is changing, and it is on our shoulders to decide where it goes.<br />
Therefore, feel free to edit this page; if you have comments ''about'' the page, or suggestions (as opposed to actual policy changes), you can also post those on the talk page — click "discussion" at the top of the window.<br />
| width="250px" |<br />
{{Policies}}<br />
|}<br />
== Pages about members of our community ==<br />
{{main|The Wiki Fire:Policy on people}}<br />
<br />
One of the first things people will do on this site it create a page about themselves or their friends. Please read the page on [[libel law]] before writing something that could be controversial. Remember that even if something is not libelous, it may still be inappropriate. The most important statements to avoid are ones concerning someone's sexual history or sexual habits.<br />
<br />
== Mood ==<br />
<br />
[[The Wiki Fire]] should be a positive source of free information that reflects its community. However, not everything in this community is positive.<br />
<br />
Therefore, the following guidelines should be followed by the community of contributers to preserve and garner a positive mood for the site, even when discussing negative aspects of [[Knox]] life.<br />
<br />
* Information should be of an '''objective''' nature. Even at a college as small as [[Knox]], there are a wide variety of opinions regarding individuals, organizations, departments, events, and Knox in general. Therefore, your opinion is just that: your opinion. For this reason, '''subjective''' statements should be excluded, or at least rewritten to refer to opinions rather than promote them. If opinions are referred to, opposing opinions should be included if at all possible.<br />
* Edits should be made to '''entertain''' or '''inform''', not to cause harm. This includes information accusing an individual, group, or organization of illegal activities. Even if the allegations are true, take a moment to consider what consequences might arise as a result of your posting them here. [[The Wiki Fire]] isn't an exposé. If people start getting in trouble because of things on [[The Wiki Fire]], it will only discourage people from using it.<br />
<br />
== Editorial power ==<br />
<br />
This site has an ever-changing and growing team of editors, similar to that of [http://www.wikipedia.org Wikipedia]. [http://www.wikipedia.org Wikipedia] must have them to prevent vandalism and keep the pages "true".<br />
<br />
[[The Wiki Fire]], however, is not going to serve the entire world in the same fashion as [http://www.wikipedia.org Wikipedia]. [[The Wiki Fire]] is, at its core, about [[Knox College]], a school of 1,351 [[students]].<br />
<br />
If you would like to become an [[editor]], e-mail [mailto:editor@thewikifire.org the editor] with your reasons why and your user name.<br />
<br />
=== Deleting pages ===<br />
''Join in the discussion at [[The Wiki Fire talk:Code of Ethics]]<br />
<br />
In many cases, a discussion should occur before a page is deleted. If a page is irrelevant, but not harmful then a contributor should "mark" the page for deletion by writing the reason on the talk page. After a couple days, if nobody has presented a counter argument for keeping the page, it will be deleted.<br />
<br />
However, mean-spirited pages that could not possibly make a meaningful [[Knox]] connection will be deleted immediately.<br />
<br />
===Banning users and IPs===<br />
Users may be banned if they partake in obvious vandalism or SPAM of the site. If such vandalism is coming from an anonymous user, the IP address may be banned for 30 minutes or until the user stops attempting to vandalize. IP addresses (Knox IP addresses, mainly) should not be banned permanently because many users often share the same address. <br />
<br />
==Obscenity and taste==<br />
Content on The Wiki Fire is governed by the concept of [[Project:Consensus|consensus]]. This means that the value of potentially obscene content is governed by those who read the pages and see the content. If the content is completely unrelated and unnecessary, then it will not likely last long. If it is relevant, then the community will likely defend it.<br />
===Disputes===<br />
If there is a dispute over an issue of taste, it should be settled on the discussion page for the article where the dispute has occurred. Through an intelligent conversation with the site's users, a responsible decision should be made that can be considered consensus.<br />
<br />
== Creative Commons — mostly free information ==<br />
<br />
This site retains few rights to anything published here. Under a [http://creativecommons.org Creative Commons] license, anything written or uploaded on this site can be used by anybody for any use they see fit (as long it is attributed). In this way, it is almost completely free information. All software used to create this site is open-source and free, as well.<br />
<br />
== Ownership ==<br />
<br />
Who should own The Wiki Fire? How should it be organized? Someone has to pay $120 a year ... how should that be handled?<br />
<br />
At the moment, the site is owned by [[User:Tfooq|Tom Fucoloro]].<br />
<br />
If anybody would like to take the initiative to establish [[The Wiki Fire]] as a not-for-profit entity, e-mail [mailto:editor@thewikifire.org the editor].<br />

<br />
*'''[[The Packinghouse]]''' is generally considered to be the best red-meat establishment in Galesburg. <br />
*'''[[Cornucopia]]/Uncle Billy's''' is a combination health/organic/natural/dirty [[hippie]] food shop and bakery. It is an essential part of your life if you are vegan or otherwise off-board, and it is generally a great place to find something yummy you have never tried before.<br />
*'''[[Joy Garden]]''' is the only Chinese restaurant in Galesburg that delivers (without a minimum charge). Unfortunately, their cook is also their deliveryman, so expect 1 to 3 hours for your food to arrive, depending on how busy they are (but honestly, the restaurant's a 10 minute walk from campus--it's not that hard to get the food yourself).<br />
*'''[[The Broadview]]''' is a 24-hour diner. [[Knox]] students are known to visit the restaurant from 1:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m. for comfort food and the entertainment of watching [[Galesburg]] [[townies]].<br />
*'''[[The Cellar]]''' is a very interesting pizzeria and pub that makes some of the best pizza in town, if you can find it (just drive through the parking lot. It's hidden back there). Great deals on Mondays.<br />
*''[[McGillacuddy's]]'' is a pub that serves a fairly good array of food and drink. [[Jazz Night]] is Thursday.<br />
*''[[Cherry Street Bar and Grill]]'' is a pub that also serves food.<br />

[[Image:Knox College Seal.png|thumb|120px|right|Official Seal of Knox College, adopted in 1903]]<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
'''Knox College''' was founded in 1837 by [[anti-slavery]] social reformers, led by [[George Washington Gale]]. One founder, the [[Samuel Wright|Rev. Samuel Wright]], actively supported the [[Underground Railroad]]. The original name for the school was "Knox Manual Labor College", but it has been known by its present name since 1857.<br />
<br />
The naming of the college is a curious story. Though founded by a colony of Presbyterians and Congregationalists, the county in which the college is located was already named [[Knox County, Illinois|Knox County]], after [[Henry Knox]], the US' first Secretary of War. Arguments have been made that the college was named for [[Calvinist]] leader [[John Knox]], but it is not certain which Knox it was named for (if not both). George Candee Gale, a (great-)great-grandson of two of the founders, explains that "contrary to general belief, Knox was not named for either General Knox or the Scotch Presbyterian Knox, according to my father ... Some wanted the college named for one Knox, some for the other; so they compromised on Knox. Certainly most of them were pious enough to want the churchman and fighters enough to want the soldier as well."<ref>Calkins, Earnest Elmo. (1937) ''They broke the prairie'', University of Illinois Press. ISBN 0-252-06094-6</ref><br />
<br />
Knox is also proud of its past as the inspiration for the rambunctious and lively college immortalized in [[George Fitch]]’s humorous stories about "Good [[Old Siwash]]," which were hugely popular in the 1920s, 30s and 40s. Fitch, a Knox graduate of 1897, published his stories in the ''Saturday Evening Post'', fondly depicting a college of high-spirited young men and women making the most out of the extracurricular, athletic and social aspects of a residential college. Knox students were delighted to find themselves parodied in stories that grew into several books and eventually a Hollywood movie (Those Were the Days, starring William Holden, filmed on the Knox campus in 1940). "[[Old Siwash]]" became a popular nickname for Knox College, and was for many years the name of the mascot as well. (It was changed to the "[[Prairie Fire]]" in 1993.)<br />
<br />
[[Image:5th Lincoln Douglas debate Knox College.jpg|thumb|250px|left|A sketch of the historic [[Lincoln-Douglas Debates of 1858|Lincoln-Douglas debates at Knox College]]]]<br />
Knox was the site of the [[Lincoln-Douglas Debates of 1858|fifth debate]] between [[Abraham Lincoln]] and [[Stephen A. Douglas]] in 1858. The "[[Old Main]]" building is the only site from the debates that still exists today.<br />
<br />
Two years after the debates, and during his presidential campaign, Lincoln received the first [[honorary degrees|honorary degree]] ever conferred by Knox College—a Doctor of Laws degree, announced at the Commencement exercises of 5 July, 1860.<ref>Muelder, Hermann R. (1959) ''Fighters for freedom'', Columbia University Press. ISBN 1-58152-409-9</ref><br />
<br />
U.S. Senator [[Barack Obama]] was the [[commencement speakers|commencement speaker]] for the class of 2005. [[Stephen Colbert]] spoke and received an honorary diploma in the 2006 ceremony. Also receiving an honorary degree in 2006 were Wikipedia creator [[Jimmy Wales]] and former Ambassador to Madagascar Shirley Barnes. The 2007 commencement speaker was former President [[Bill Clinton]], who received an honorary doctorate of humane letters. [[Madeleine Albright]] also received an honorary doctorate of humane letters for her commencement address in 2008.<br />
<br />
Knox College is one of 40 colleges in the nation featured in "Colleges That Change Lives: 40 Schools That Will Change the Way You Think About College," by Loren Pope, former education editor of ''The New York Times'' and founder of ''The College Placement Bureau''.<br />
<br />
Knox's President, [[Roger Taylor]], was chosen as one of ''Yale Daily News Guide to the Colleges'' "Most Attractive Presidents."<br />

=== School Mascot ===<br />
The mascot of Knox college is the [[Prairie Fire]].<ref>[http://www.thewikifire.org/index.php?title=Prairie_Fire Prairie Fire - The Wiki Fire] the unofficial, free encyclopedia of Knox College</ref> The mascot was never officially the [[Siwash]] but alums are still mad about the switch. Ask Brian Gaower for the story. 1993.<ref>[http://www.thewikifire.org/index.php?title=Siwash Siwash - The Wiki Fire]</ref><br />
<br />
===Unofficial Mascot===<br />
The unofficial mascot of Knox College is the Prairie Dragon, coined by Kristin Mussar, 2009. The Prairie Dragon has the body of a squirrel, with wings of a dragon. It also has the ability to breathe fire and thus start prairie fires. While sightings of the actual Prairie Dragon are rare on campus, it can be seen in the following picture, or on the shirts of fellow students. Kristin hopes that the legacy of the Prairie Dragon will live on at Knox for several years to come, and invites all inquires related to its history and discovery to be directed to TheGreenSpleen25@gmail.com. <br />
<br />
[[Image:Praire_Dragon_NewFireOldWords_smallest_perhaps.jpg]]<br />
<br />
=== Rivalries ===<br />
In 1843 prefecture- trustee [[Rev. Samuel G. Wright]] declared, “eternal, unalterable, opposition unto [[sloth]] and wickedness.” The overwhelmingly anti- slavery student body responded to Wright’s command by initiating what has remained one of America’s longest standing intercollegiate [[rivalries]] against pro- slavery [[Yale]] University. In 1906 124 Knox males walked 1038 miles to New Haven, Ct, where upon arrival they proceeded to raze [[Yale]]’s observatory and woman's dormitories. In 1952, after over 100 years of rivalry, Knox College students succeeded in freeing [[Yale]]’s slaves.<br />
<br />
== Facilities ==<br />
Knox College has 42 academic and residential buildings on its 82-acre campus. Knox boasts electron microscopes, a gas chromatograph mass spectrometer, a Celestron telescope, access to the Inter University Consortium for Political & Social Research, the Strong Collection of 18th and 19th century maps and photographs, the Hughes Collection of manuscripts and first editions from [[Ernest Hemingway|Hemingway]] and his “Lost Generation” contemporaries, and a 700-acre natural prairie reserve, the Green Oaks Field Station. The new E. & L. Andrew Fitness Center was dedicated on February 17, 2006, a $2.4-million, state-of-the-art facility.<br />
<br />
=== Libraries ===<br />
Built in 1928, the handsome Seymour Library is the soul of the campus and was ranked as high as 3rd in the nation by the Princeton Review. Inside its leaded glass windows and oak paneled reading rooms, the library houses more than a quarter of a million books and subscribes to more than 700 periodicals. Its special collections include the Finley Collection of Midwest History, the Strong Collection of 18th- and 19th-century maps and photographs, the Hughes Collection of manuscripts and first editions from Hemingway and his “Lost Generation” contemporaries, and an original [[Diderot Encyclopédie]].<br />
<br />
In addition, Knox offers the Kresge Science & Math Library, which houses the scientific and technical collections of the college, and the Center for the Fine Arts Music Library (CFA), which has collections of compact discs, vinyl record albums, printed music scores, and a core reference collection.<br />
<br />
===Radio Station===<br />
Knox has a radio station - [[WVKC]]. It is located on the fourth floor of George Davis Hall, a former science building that now houses social science and language departments. Its frequency in Galesburg is 90.7. It is ranked by the Princeton Review as #10 in the nation for "great college radio station" in their 2007 ''Best 361 Colleges'' rankings.[http://www.princetonreview.com/college/research/rankings/rankingDetails.asp?CategoryID=7&TopicID=56]<br />
<br />
=== Computer laboratories ===<br />
Four public [[computer laboratories]] are accessible to students, with several more departmental labs available and a dedicated language laboratory.<br />
<br />
The largest, [[Founders]] Laboratory (a converted smoking lounge from many years ago), which is located in [[Seymour Hall]] (the [[student union]]), is open 24 hours a day throughout the year. Scanning (including film-scanning and [[optical character recognition]]) is available freely to student users, and printing and copy services are available for a small fee.<br />
<br />
Addressing the issues of paper waste and in a move to become more environmentally friendly, beginning fall of 2005, recycled-content paper is being phased in for use in all college printers. In addition, one printer is stocked with ''reused'' paper—printed on one side, the paper remains suitable for scratch copies, rough drafts, and other informal printing needs.<br />
<br />
== The [[Honor Code]] ==<br />
Knox College introduced the [[Honor Code]] by [[students]] in 1951. All students are held responsible for the integrity of their own work, and students are required to abide by the code. Because of this policy, tests are not proctored, and in many cases students may take their [[exams]] in any open, public place within the same building. Any cases of students caught disobeying the system are evaluated by their peers through the [[Honor Board]], a committee consisting of three seniors, three juniors, three sophomores, and two [[faculty]] members.<br />
<br />
== Campus Traditions ==<br />
<br />
=== [[Pumphandle]] ===<br />
[[Pumphandle]] is an annual tradition that occurs at the beginning of each new school year. Most of the entire campus population - including students, faculty, staff and visiting alumni - gather on the south lawn of [[Old Main]]. A line is formed beginning with the [[President of the College]]. Everyone else then moves down the line, shaking hands as they go by. In this way, everyone in the line shakes the hand of everyone else. Pumphandle was named one of the five weirdest college traditions.<br />
<br />
=== [[Flunk Day]] ===<br />
[[Flunk Day]] is an annual spring carnival. Planned by two students and a small number of administrators, the date of [[Flunk Day]] is kept secret from the campus until the morning of, when the bell in Old Main rings and a cadre of seniors known as the “[[Friars]]” who are now gathered together about 15 minutes before the official start of [[Flunk Day]] by the student planners run around campus blowing whistles and pounding on doors around 5:45 a.m. for the 6 a.m. beginning. In years past, [[Friars]] were taken the evening before [[Flunk Day]] for a night of merriment and then they were returned to campus to wake everyone up. However, since the school is trying to tone down [[Flunk Day]], the [[Friars]] are now only given 15 minutes to get wasted. <br />
<br />
Classes are canceled for the day as the student body turns its attention to a joke issue of the student newspaper, drinking, mud-pits, live music and petting zoos.<ref>[http://whttp://www.thewikifire.org/skins/common/images/button_link.png<br />
Internal linkww.thewikifire.org/index.php?title=Flunk_day Flunk Day - The Wiki Fire]</ref><br />
<br />
Supposedly the best flunk day scare ever was when a small group of students broke into Old Main and began ringing the bell. Recent Flunk day scares have been tame at best, with little to no effort put into actually convincing the students that it was truly flunk day.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== [[Pregnancy Scare Day]] ===<br />
[[Pregnancy Scare Day]] has continued with few interruptions since its conception in the mid 1920’s by Knox’s female students. It was originally begun in opposition to the all male group of flunk day organizers, however has continued since the inclusion of women in planning in the mid 1980’s. The exact date of [[Pregnancy Scare Day]] is determined by a secret group of upperclassmen women.<br />

==Quotations==<br />
*"Now will saying 'yes' get you in trouble at times? Will saying 'yes' lead you to doing some foolish things? Yes it will. But don't be afraid to be a fool. Remember, you cannot be both young and wise. Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don't learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying 'yes' begins things. Saying 'yes' is how things grow. Saying 'yes' leads to knowledge. 'Yes' is for young people. So for as long as you have the strength to, say 'yes.'"

The World is Ending. FLUNK DAY TOMORROW<br />
<br />
==Tuesday, Febuary 28th==<br />
11:34PM - a covered semi trailer is spotted in the WalMart parking lot. We all know what hides here. Could they be setting up this early on in the game? Is this even that early on in the game??? <br />
<br />
11:35PM - picture confirmation of covered trailer #CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
==Friday, March 3rd==<br />
11:34PM - Cowboy Hat Man spotted at [[Cherry Street]] WITHOUT HIS COYBOY HAT, but a BASEBALL HAT. THIS COULD BE HUGE. <br />
<br />
12:22AM - Brothers of [[FIGI]] sing Smashmouth's 'All Star' at Cherryoke. Suspicious. Do they know something we don't know???<br />
<br />
==Saturday, March 4th==<br />
9:00PM Brothers of [[Alpha Sigma Suck a Dick]] hold their winter formal YELLOWS ROSE and it is attended by the president of [[TKE]] as well as members of [[Sigma Nu]] and [[Sigma Chi]]. Are the frats collaborating for something?? Big Flunk Day Secrets??? <br />
<br />
------------> CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
Members of ASSDICK also seen taking croc shots and drinking wine out a can...what are they gearing up for??? THIS COULD BE HUGEEEEE<br />
<br />
==Wednesday, March 8th== <br />
Alumnus (alumnum?) [[Matt Sugai]] kicked out of midnight breakfast. Claims that they are not a student. Smells like a cover up.. <----very interesting. Could it be that Matt knows something about flunk day that we don't know? and that Knox doesn't want getting out???<br />
<br />
==Tuesday, March 14th==<br />
~5:00 PM - [http://imgur.com/qg6dVdA] <br />
The Muddy Pit makes us all aware of their slumber through their Facebook page. Is this a hint? Are there secrets lurking beneath the recent snowfall and within the soil? <br />
<br />
11:52 PM - #CONFIRMED THERE ARE SECRETS IN THE EARTH. WE MUST DIG TO UNCOVER THEM. AWAKEN THE PIT. MOISTEN THE LOAM. (FOREVER) LEAVE YOUR MAYONNAISE AT HOME.<br />
<br />
9:05 PM [[Teresa Amott]] spotted walking home down prairie street. Too dark to tell, but it looked like she was leaving behind some kind of slimy footprints... is it molting season yet????<br />
<br />
==Thursday, March 16th==<br />
1:27 AM [[Scott Roberts]] (landlord of the [[yellows]]) seen carrying canned food, bottled water, a first aid kit and other supplies to the basement of the yellows. Was also wearing a tool belt. It is presumed that this is where he will bunker down and take shelter until flunk day is over.<br />
<br />
==Monday, March 20th==<br />
<br />
This was the first day of spring. [[Theresa Amott]] was spotted at 7:35am in the art bowl, sitting in an inner tube, buck naked, drinking from a bottle of Jager with a crazy straw, and wondering where everyone was. Sources say she stumbled towards the lawn at approximately 7:51 am, proclaiming that she was going to "ride" the "mechanical bull." Squirrels were seen fleeing in terror. We cannot confirm if March 20 was actually Flunk Day or not, but Amott's actions speak for themselves.<br />
<br />
==Tuesday, March 21st==<br />
8:37 PM - On a grocery trip to Walmart, it was found that the alcohol section was revamped over break. Everyone (including Walmart) knows this is where students stock up cheap and quick for the fateful day. <br />
<br />
PICTURE CONFIRMATION [http://imgur.com/a/Qxmno] THE HARD LIQUOR SECTION IS NOW BEHIND CHECKOUT 9. I REPEAT, CHECKOUT 9. IS THIS A HINT??? <-------- IT IS ABSOLUTELY RELATED TO THE FLUNK THERE IS NO DENYING THAT.<br />

<br />
<br />
REPORTS RECEIVED of a recruiting email for the Marines sent out to certain students AT THE EXACT MOMENT that the 2017 flunk day theme — Pirates of the Flunk — was announced. Coincidence???? Is this some kind of seafaring warrior conspiracy, and if so, how high up does it go???? Is the wide, wide ocean itself trying to tell us something??? Is [[Teresa Amott]] possessed by the ghost of Edward Teach? WAS BLACKBEARD A LIZARD PERSON?????????? Stay tuned, kids: this could be huge. <-------- CONFIRMED [http://imgur.com/6PGZpXJ] GET OUT YOUR OVALTINE DECODER RINGS, COMRADES <br />
<br />
==Monday, March 27th==<br />
Last year we were gifted with a late flunk day. Will this year be the opposite with an early flunk? Of course it will remember the first rule of the flunk. flunk day is always tomorrow!!<br />
<br />
4:53PM - [[Mark Holmes]] encourages his Open Studio students to 'dig' through their notes from past years to create an artist statement. Does he want us to dig something else??? Only time will tell.<br />
<br />
==Tuesday, March 28th==<br />
12:23AM - it's been pretty rainy and humid out... why has no one broken ground yet???<br />
<br />
7:21PM Two members of TKS overheard in founders planning the flunk day issue!???!! Seems kind of soon doesn't it???? <---what will tks DIG up this year??<br />
<br />
10:46AM - [[Peter Bailey]] is wearing a tie with geckos on it. His lizard is showing, this means we're getting close.<br />
<br />

<br />
3:55PM - Members of videocorp seen taking a strange shot of [[Ben Smolinski]] looking confused and taking his shirt off in the sculpture studio in The Whitcomb Art Center. When asked what this strange video was about, they were bound to resist giving an answer. [[Tristian Yi]], flunk day planner??? [[Joe Connors]], internal conspiracist??? We need more information to confirm!!!!!! <br />
<br />
==Friday, March 31st==<br />
Word has it there will be a ceremonial ground breaking tonight. <br />
<br />
==Monday, April 3rd==<br />
This will be the day. This is it.<br />
<br />

==Tuesday, April 4th==<br />
11:54AM - 3 cuties seen wielding a single shovel in a very specific formation through the quads.....we know what's coming.<br />
<br />
==Wednesday, April 5th==<br />
12:00AM - The mud pit gasps their first, glorious breath of the season.<br />
<br />
==Thursday, April 6th==<br />
Andrew Salemi sends out email inviting students for free ice cream and board games. Obviously overflow from Flunk Day supplies. Possibly the first ever Flunk Day on a Friday and an Admitted Students Day.<br />
<br />
==Sunday, April 9th==<br />
<br />
SPOTTED: Pepsi stand east of Gizmo patio. Leftover from Prairie Fire Fest- keeping it out for an early flunk???<br />
Trash cans still lining area outside Gizmo patio. Easier access for an early flunk.<br />
<br />
==Monday, April 10th==<br />
12:37AM - Still no word on who's a [[friar]] yet... Is Flunk Day even happening this year??? Who is a planner??? HOW DO WE NOT KNOW THIS INFORMATION YET???????????<br />
<br />
I GOT A FACULTY EMAIL that talks about organizing the soft ball team. I say two weeks tops. They don't need more time than that to organize. A reminder email will be sent out the day of/before. I will get this one too!!! <---- god bless this person<br />
<br />
Coms Office Releases THIS ARTICLE ABOUT PREDICTING FLUNK DAY https://www.knox.edu/news/a-pocket-guide-to-predicting-flunk-day -----> They seem a little TOO insistent that they don't know when it is. I think they know.<br />
<br />
!!!! THIS COULD BE HUGGEEEEEEEE! Also check out Peter Bailey's prediction ......<br />
<br />
==Tuesday, April 11th==<br />
<br />
Where is the "flunk day is a privilege" email??? Deb Southern wyd<br />
<br />
==Wednesday, April 12th==<br />
Williston Hall seems to be awfully loud tonight. Do the quiet ones know something?<br />
<br />
Sam Duffy changed her profile picture to a Flunk Day throwback. She's on the inside... trust me.<br />
<br />
Looks like the planners are going in for a late flunk again this year:<br />
Evidence: <br />
<br />
1. No Flunk Day email has been sent out yet. NONE. NADA. The email is sent out pretty early in the term<br />
<br />
2. Do any seniors know if they are friars yet? NO scares in the quads (yet! wait for it, Freshies) <br />
<br />
3. The mud pit is DRY, even though I heard that some Sig Chi and SNu had top secret agenda paperwork piling up in their basements regarding some flunkin' important matters<br />
<br />
4. Grass has not been mowed....Can someone find out when the grass is scheduled to be mowed next?<br />
<br />
5. Flunk Day T-shirts are not sold yet (Did UB forget that we are not stupid and that FLUNK is to happen few weeks after they start selling the t-shirts???)<br />
<br />
Flunk Spirit *R.I.P.*<br />
*ALL around campus there is a shortage of drunk people. Wake up and take a shot ya tokers, the Flunk might be closer than you think.*<br />
<br />
==Thursday, April 13th==<br />
Direct source from planners, it's today🍆🍆🍆 ---> CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
6:46 PM Fiji blasting music and playing basketball. Have their Alumni told them the date of the flunk? <----Conspiracy<br />
<br />
"If there is love in your heart and your mind, you will feel like flunk day all the time." -Anonymous<br />
<br />
==Sunday, April 16th==<br />
<br />
[11:00pm] Y'ALL we all need to STEP IT UP and start hyping up the FLUNK!!!! I can't sustain the wiki fire by myself.....flunk day is about TEAMWORK! LET'S DO THIS. That being said it's definitely tomorrow <--- CONFIRMED < ----------- COULD. NOT. AGREE. MORE. IT IS SO DEAD IM EMBARRASSED<br />
<br />
==Monday, April 17th==<br />
<br />
The Freshman were all given Flunk Day Survival Info from their RAs before last Monday. Any day now is officially open to being Flunk Day. <br />
Let the predictions flow like a ship at sea. AAAAARRRRRGH! IT's GAME ON! ---> CONFIRMED. [2:10 pm] Talked to a freshman in my class and she said her suite had the Flunk Day talk last week. Another freshman told me they had theirs two weekends ago.<br />
<br />
Admitted Students Days are over. Where's the email, Deb???<br />
<br />
[9:18 pm] Email from Andrew Salemi announcing that Flunk Day shirts can be ordered online NOW! (what happened to tabling ppl? truly a lost art) This is not a drill.<br />
<br />
==Tuesday, April 18th==<br />
<br />
Taiko Drum circle was moved from this day to sunday.....could it be?<br />

<br />
TAKE A SHOT OF TEQUILA OUR DEB BABE HAS SENT THE FLUNK EMAIL!<br />
<br />
==Wednesday, April 19th==<br />
Probably not this day seeing as it is the Almost There Fair for Seniors to pick up their caps and gowns (and also donate money to the school).<br />
<br />
It's B.G.'s birthday...could the planners be trying to combine to drunk catastrophe's into one day to minimize damage? Seems likely.<br />
<br />
[3:10 pm] SPOTTED: TKS editors [[Rachel Landman]] and [[Erika Riley]] carrying newspapers down hallway of Seymour. They went in the campus life office. Could be the Flunk Day issue???<----FALSE TKS does NOT know when flunk day is, they just make an issue earlier in the term so they can print it on the day when they find out just like everyone else. <-------True only 4 people know when Flunk day is: New campus life person that has replaced Travis, 2 flunk day planners from UB, and one school person (T Amott) <---- False. Many more than 4 people know. Admissions so they don't schedule tours. Deb Southern and other people in OSD. Campus Safety so they can be prepares to try (ha!) to stop the mud pit. The administration is ripe with information. <----True. TKS isn't the admin, but they definitely print in advance and give the issue to Campus Life.<br />
<br />
==Thursday, April 20th==<br />
<br />
Does Flunk Day really exist? Does ANYTHING really exist?<br />
<br />
Could this be the first 4/20 Flunk? Rumor has it one of the secret planners is a hard core stoner...<br />
<br />
a 4/20 flunk day could be huge!! there are mostly club meetings but no big events so it is a big possibility. at least it would be a good day to scare the freshies for the first time!<br />
<br />
Does anyone know if they're a friar yet??!?!?! NO ONE KNOWS ANYTHING!!!<br />
<br />
Lots of people posting on facebook today about Smashmouth. Could this finally be our year?<br />
<br />
==Friday, April 21st==<br />
Everyone knows it's an established rule that flunk day is never on a Friday, but riddle me this- do pirates follow the rules?<br />
<br />
You could take photos with fruit in the caf today. Basically flunk day.<br />
<br />
==Sunday, April 23==<br />
<br />
Vlad spotted on campus.<br />
<br />
Vlad was also spotted drinking heavily with senior [[Riya Tiwari]] Saturday night. His direct quotes "let the flunk season begin!!!!" <br />
<br />
Senior [[Riya Tiwari]] has posted her flunk jug. ------>THIS COULD BE HUGE<br />
<br />
SPOTTED ON CAMPUS MOVING STUFF BACK AND FORTH!!! <---- What kind of stuff? Details, ''PLEASE''! <----- A bag full of human skulls and 5 torches!!!<br />

MAIL ROOM LIGHTS ARE ON!!!!! <------time stamp? (Smh, freshman?) Mailroom lights are always on unless you are speaking of the office part inside<br />
<br />
==Monday, April 24th==<br />
<br />
Today there's a NYTimes journalist coming to campus and the new Parke Ethicist-in-Residence thing is happening. Big enough to stop the Flunk? Maybe not. <----- ethicist is here all week as it's a residency, flunk day is still a possibility. <---- and she's an alum, so she's familiar with flunk day! maybe that's why they chose her???<br />
<br />
First scare of the season!!!<br />
<br />
Janitorial got 6 large boxes of floor cleaner. Prep for post-Flunk clean-up? #Confirmed<br />
<br />
People who ordered shirts- have they arrived yet??? PLS RESPOND <--- I haven't heard anything!<br />
<br />
There's construction happening on the east side of Old Main and there's a big hole in the ground. Maybe Flunk Day won't happen until that's done? I don't think it's out of the question, but it seems like a bad idea to have a bunch of drunk people running around with that. I'm sure Facilities knows when Flunk Day is.<br />
<br />
Members of Union Board have received their shirts at their weekly meeting. We could be flunkin' any day now, all is fair from here on!<-----confirmed <br />
<br />
Staff members will get their flunk day shirts on Wednesday? So it couldn't be on Tuesday <br />
<br />
10: 55 PM Fijis are shouting. This should be normal behavior except they're shouting "flunk day!!!!" do they know something?<br />
<br />
==Tuesday, April 25th==<br />
<br />
T. Amott canceled the fundraising event for Merrit and moved it to next monday -------->>>> confirmed<br />

<br />
Dean Behling spotted landing a nollie kickflip down down the steps of the gizmo pattio. SHE IS FEELING THE FLUNK <---------- CONFIRMED. SHE ALSO LANDED A VARIAL OFF OF THE ALUMNI HALL FRONT STEPS.<br />
<br />
huddled group of freshman overheard muttering about how they "...just wish flunk day would be done already" as they cast wary eyes around looking for snooping seniors, who might wake them up a tad early again, just to fuck with them.<br />
<br />
FLUNK DAY APPAREL IS IN<br />
<br />
Overheard a librarian explaining Flunk Day to a student worker. She thinks it's going to be an early Flunk.<br />
<br />
Everyone knows we've been rooting for a Smashmouth flunk for the past few years. According to the band's website, there are no shows booked between April 22 and May 13. Could it be that they're making a stop in The Burg between shows????????<br />
<br />
"All Star" by Smashmouth was playing in the mailroom this morning...sign of the flunk?? Do they know something we don't?<br />
<br />
Andrew Salemi extends signup deadline for Big Pink Volleyball. Does it mean anything?????<br />
<br />
==Wednesday, April 26th==<br />
FLUNK DAY FRIAR INFO STILL NOT SENT OUT. SURPRISE FLUNK FOR ALL??<br />
<br />
Richard Stout has this day marked as Flunk Day on his ECON 110 syllabus. What econ model did he use for his prediction?<br />
⬆️ Same for his Econ 303 syllabus.<br />
<br />
HEAR, HEAR MY FELLOW KNOXIES:<br />
Evidence shows that this day VERY CLEARLY can be the long awaited, the most drunk, flunk day of the century.<br />
<br />
Now, What evidence do I have you might say?<br />
<br />
1. T Amott Cancelled her fancy reception for Tuesday, preparing for the Flunk?<br />
<br />
2. There is supposed to be a track and field meet in Des Moines, but this IS NOT happening<br />
<br />
3. Greek Week has something scheduled for each day of the week, except this one. It is "wear jeans" day. Knowing that Greek week is organized by people in Campus Life, the same offices where our FLUNK <br />
DAY is planned DID THEY HINT NOT TO PUT ANY EVENT UP THIS DAY BECAUSE WE'RE FLUNKIN'?<br />
<br />
4. It is the day after AnSo Senior Research Draft is due<-------------AnSo professors would reward you for such an effort with flunk, wouldn't they? <------#AnSotheory<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Suspicious trucks at econo lodge and mall parking lot?? Flunk day confirmed???<br />
<br />
"Just saw this at a computer that was left logged in at the library, I logged out but got some good insight, this sorority girl knows her shit" :<br />
<br />
5. UB has not gotten their shirts yet, which always happens before the day<br />
<br />
6. Two confirmed planners, the UB advisor, and a suspected planner were at Walmart on a SUNDAY/today (cannot be part of normal UB business, therefore 100% Flunk related)<br />
<br />
7. The shirts are in but still need to be distributed to people that ordered them. Shirts are likely to be distributed across multiple days (unconfirmed and possibly misunderstood) <-- The can put them in mailboxes day-of<br />
<br />
8.Unconfirmed but someone says the purple shirts are not in (for staff day-of) <-----staff members get their shirts on Wednesday? Can someone confirm?<br />
<br />
9. Athletic events have been cancelled day-of in the past<br />
<br />
10. Weather forecast gives no indication of date because it is decided upon way before and they will not move it at the last minute<---------weather forecast for Wednesday is rainy, easier access to the mudpit?<br />
<br />
11. Unlikely to be close to or past May 10th because a current planner caught a lot of shit for it last year<br />
<br />
Make of this what you will. The first viable date for Flunk day is this Wednesday.<br />
<br />
Coltan Parker's Ass spotted hanging out the shotgun window of a blue subaru impreza as it drove by SMC. The numbers 04 were on his left cheek and 26 on his right. It may be a sign, or simply a deceptive trick. Who's to say?<br />

<br />
The shirts are out for pick up tonight?!?! <br />
<br />
Flunk Day Snapchat filter has yet to be approved (needs 2 days for approval), so it's not today. <-------this makes zero fucking sense? so maybe the planners sent it ago 2 days ago? <--- Can confirm it was only sent today!! <br />

Andrew Salami extends Big Pink deadline from 8:00 Wednesday morning to 4:00 Thursday afternoon...does he know drunken flunkers will be too preoccupied to sign up tomorrow morning?!?!<br />
<br />
8:58 PM There is NO WAY flunk day is tomorrow? There is someone important (ethicist?) staying on campus for the rest of the week? <---------Might be staying at a hotel (also they're a knox alum??)<br />
<br />
9:00 PM Would flunk day be held the same week as Greek week? Possibly not? <--------can someone confirm if Flunk day has been held during Greek week in the past? (the school would not want to possibly relate it to heavy drinking)<------but the flunk day planners might ;)<br />
<br />

Wishes you and yours<br />

And pass Deb Babe a beer<br />

Flunk Gods in the sky look down where she lay,<br />
The little young freshman napping on Flunk Day.<br />

<br />
But don't know how? Visit the new [[How to edit the wikifire]] page for a quick rundown of the steps for how to edit this (and any other) page!<br />
<br />
But seriously, '''the more contributors we have, the more fun it gets.''' No matter how crazy your theory or evidence (or lack thereof), we want to hear it. More activity equals more hype, and more hype equals a better Flunk for all.<br />

==Long ago in a galaxy far far away...==<br />
"If people don't play in the mud pit next year, I'm not donating to Knox... I will be withholding all ten of my dollars... Apparently there were a combination of factors that caused its downfall [in 2015]. But as our nation's first president, Bruce Springsteen, once said, 'maybe everything that dies someday comes back.'" - [[Roger Taylor]]<br />

<br />
Flunk Day planners-- [[Cassie McLaughlin]]? <-- CONFIRMED, I heard from her last term that she's planning again!! [[Kati stemple]]? <-- CONFIRMED! Heard Kati has a class she can skip a paper in?

<br />

Medieval Flunk? The Knights of the Flunk? <br />
<br />
What will it be?<br />
<br />

Too early for Flunk? I say it's NEVER too early to Flunk <-- CONFIRMED, Flunk Day is tomorrow<br />
<br />
[7:41pm] Lights spotted still on in the [[Campus Life]] office long after all other offices are closed. Making last minute preparations or just putting in extra hours to prepare for an early Flunk this year? THIs COuLD BE HUgE<br />
<br />

<br />
I found this place http://www.fwworld.com/newattractions.html that has all kinds of flunk equipment. Somebody give them a call to ask about their delivery to Knox College and ask about the date!<br />
<br />
==Tuesday, April 12==<br />

<br />
Becky Benner rescued a baby squirrel from being attacked by a larger, older squirrel yesterday afternoon, sustaining scratches in the process. Today, she's not feeling so well.

<br />
==Friday, April 15th==<br />
<br />
Last Admitted Students Day - All dates from here on out are fair game <-- Flunk Day has happened on Admitted Students Day before. Tomorrow is always Flunk Day. Never lose hope. The velociraptors will catch you otherwise. <--- tru <--- But it's also a Friday. They would be breaking a lot of cardinal rules of the Flunk for it to be on this day.<br />
<br />
For the last 3 years, Deb Southern has emailed students about Flunk Day information. I don't see it straying from this trend this year. <-- Didn't you get the memo? The velociraptors will catch you if you lose hope<br />
<br />
There have been an unsettling number of cats in the business of making kittens spotted on campus. Could it be hormones in the food? Chemtrails? Or maybe ...the flunk approaches?<br />
<br />
==Monday, April 18th==<br />
<br />
10:43 PM: is it tomorrow?<br />
<br />
==Tuesday, April 19th==<br />
<br />

<br />
==Wednesday, April 20th==<br />
#confirmed<br />
[https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xat1/v/t1.0-0/s526x395/12993365_10153993233497367_7880862704416969942_n.jpg?oh=68b345f70ce08457ad99564c3b18e07a&oe=577A9595] <-- Source?? Clearer picture?? It's so small I can't read almost any of it. 20th? 26th? Can't tell.<br />
<br />
Kati Stemple pissed that the schedule leaked <--CONFIRMED!<br />
<br />
UPS driver mentions that "Flunk Day must be coming up pretty soon," has knowing smile.<br />
<br />
They honestly can't expect college students to not open any windows or doors on 4/20. Cover-up for Flunk Day? [http://imgur.com/cFEeAra]<br />
<br />
[5:07] The schedule from this entry was posted to Yik Yak not long ago, but it has come down incredibly quickly... Planners covering their tracks?? THIS COULD BE HUGE<br />
<br />
[6:45] the flunk day schedule from here is back up on Yik Yak<br />
<br />
Someone go check Walmart and the hotel parking lots for trucks <--There were trucks! CONFIRMED! <-- Were they Entertainment Avenue trucks? Cuz there are always trucks. The question is if they're the RIGHT trucks. <-- Confirmed. Saw white trucks, unmarked. THIS IS HUGE.<br />
<br />
[9:13 PM] Union Board Seniors and the junior Secret Flunk Day Planner are having their "weekly dinner". Flunk Day tomorrow. <--CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
[10:59] On the way to check hotel parking lots, it was discovered that a section of south street is closed for construction between Prairie and Kellogg. Could be because of the new art building, but more importantly this is #suspicious. <br />
<br />
[11:08] Just got conformation that the road block is due to a 6 foot deep hole in the road being dug up, from the bottom to the top. Could the construction of the new art building have been zoned a top a lost grave site? Has the promise of a building specific to art students awoken something terrifying and malicious in the corpses that lay beneath? Are the zombies angered that when they were art majors, they didn't get a building entirely to themselves? Only time will tell, but our answers will come soon. <br />
<br />
[11:25] flunk watch: Yik yak is blowing up with posts about flunk day<br />
<br />
Mail room lights are on! Flunk day confirmed?<br />
<br />
Can I get a hooyaah? <-- HOOYAAH<br />
<br />
[12:28] Dog spotted in Hamblin. Because no pet owner wants their dog to miss out on the impending Flunk<br />
<br />
==Thursday, April 21st==<br />
<br />
[8:34 PM] Senior UB member [[Hanh Bui]] and [[Jazmine Kenny]], roommate of Flunk planner Kati Stemple, spotted with friends drinking and discussing the glories of 4/20. Could they be preparing for a flunky Thursday?<br />
<br />
Freshman are being driven around by upperclassmen to get their first stashes. They can sense it in their fresh blood.<br />
<br />
[8:48 PM] [[Hanh Bui]], senior UB member, seen making drinks for friends to start the Flunk season off right. "Flunk day is tomorrow" as she is chugging a mixed drink.<br />
<br />
[8:55 PM] "I need to buy an air horn. I need to buy a FUCKING AIR HORN." --[[Jazmine Kenny]] <-- Finally got a air horn supplied by Maddie Dana<br />
<br />
Yik Yak has spoken: "The mud pit demands a virgin sacrifice!!!!!!!!!" [http://imgur.com/MElFmQq] <-- And here is our glorious pit at dawn. Still a bit small, but well-churned and awaiting it's sacrifice<br />
<br />
[9:32 PM] Campus has been entirely too quiet and not smelly enough for a proper 4/20... everyone saving it all up for tomorrow?<br />
<br />
[10:49 PM] Belligerently drunk humans heard attempting (and failing) to shout their excitement about Flunk Day to the heavens. Or at least that's what I assume they were shouting - very few real words appeared to be used.<br />
<br />
[11:19 PM] Jazmine Kenny and Hanh Bui AND Hyunjin Jung (Senior Class President) seen getting drunken snacks and fueling up for the impending flunk??<br />
<br />
==Friday, April 22nd==<br />
<br />
Earth Day Flunk Day? <-- Predictions of an early Flunk abound, so perhaps. Also, what's better for the Earth than all of those lovely, decomposing Zombie bodies? <--But are they organic? <-- Are they gluten free? <--- Are they vegan? <--- What does a vegan zombie say? GRRRAAAAAAAAIIINNNSSS...<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
[[Tevin Liao]], mailroom spy extraordinaire, reported that several massive boxes arrived today for Travis. They were never processed by the mailroom because Travis swooped in an snuck them out the back door right away. Sounds like Flunk goodies!!! As far as a next-week Flunk Day, THIS COULD BE HUGE<br />
<br />
[5:51] I'm pretty sure it wasn't today... but I just regained consciousness from my 4/20 escapades so I might have missed it. HOLY CRAP WAS IT YESTERDAY!?!<br />
<br />
==Monday, April 25th==<br />
<br />

YO! CLASS OF 2016! STEP UP YOUR GAME!!! YOU CALL THOSE PITIFUL ATTEMPTS FLUNK DAY SCARES!?! WEAK!!! <-- Well today is going to be flunk day or there is gonna be a massive scare... so...<br />
<br />
<br />
Monday Flunk won't happen. Too many concerns about people partying from Sunday into Monday. The theme is Zombies not alcohol poisoning! <-- Has happened on a Monday before, and it works because very few people anticipate it. This doesn't rule it out. <--- Its been either monday or Wednesday for the past few years, I'm pretty sure a Monday flunk is pretty predictable. SAME GOES FOR YOU WEDNESDAY the 27th!!! <br />
<br />
Flunk day is gonna be on the 26th! I KNOW FOR SURE! SOMEONE MAKE A ENTRY FOR THAT DAY! IDK HOW!!! :'( <-- your wish has been granted<br />
<br />

<br />
[9:42PM] All the good mixers are cleaned out of the C-store - [http://imgur.com/rhygy9n Everybody's stashing up!]<br />

Literally heard her say "this is supposed to be confidential, everything is ruined!" also she was carrying a bag from the quickie <---- it's the Flunk Day issue from two years ago. We have extras in the pub office. This year's issue is still confidential. <--- PICS OF THE NEW ISSUE OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN<br />

Looked at the event calendar and there is nothing on this day aside from pre-enrollment and a club meeting. Of even more interest is the fact that block housing is on the 26th only - doesn't block usually go for two days... Very suspicious<- Block was one day last year- Not confirming this date <----CONFIRMED LETS FLUNK!!!<br />
<br />
I have a friend who managed to get in touch with Dolores O'Riordan (the lead singer of the Cranberries) she said that it was not out of the realm of possibility that they would be performing there hit song for Knoxies on this day. <--- CONFIRMED my cousin is seeing them live in Wisconsin on Sunday the 24th! The band is in the area!<br />
<br />
This is both Rup and Cough Kid's prediction. It must be true. <----- The Rup-inator has been accurately predicting the 'Day of Flunk' for almost a decade if this isn't the best evidence of a Wednesday Flunk idk what is...<br />
<br />
tamott spotted with lizard posse. mating season disturbed by the upcoming flunk.<br />
<br />
No events planned for this day! None that can't be canceled at least!<br />
<br />
I just started dating this really cute undead girl. Yeah Warm Bodies style don't judge! She said that the rest of her horde would be arriving sometime midweek. So yeah Night of the Living Flunk is going to be on this day.<br />
<br />
Junior [[Riya Tiwari]] tweeted saying flunk day is this day and proceeded to delete it immediately so I TRUST HER? <----confirmed but why would she know? <========CONSPIRACY OR HUGE<br />
<br />
Flunk Day Planner [[Kati Stemple]] seen huddled in a dark corner of Seymour Library Murmuring "I will not get weird, I will not get weird" Many Knox partiers such as Stemple drink on Wednesdays, titling the party night "weird Wednesday." IT IS A SIGN. <-------- OK, but to be fair she does that basically every Monday evening.<br />
<br />
[[Kati Stemple]] has made [http://imgur.com/aTO97p0 her official Flunk Day predictions] just like everyone else and they're for the 27th and 28th. Possibility 1: it's definitely not these days and she's faking us out. Possibility 2: she expects we will think she's faking us out and will discount these days, thus making it safe to put down a prediction on the real day. In the case of 2, Flunk Day is rarely a Thursday, so Wednesday it is!!!<br />
<br />
[12:10 PM] [[Rahil Savani]] revealed his Pre-enrollment theory. Apparently Flunk Day is always within a week after Pre-enrollment starts, and that was Monday... In the past 3 years, flunk day has been within 2 days of the pre-enrollment period....so Flunk Day could be Wednesday?!!<========CONFIRMED!!!!!<-----"but, there are always outliers!" -Rahil Savani <br />
UPDATE! Another theory came out by the one and only genius of the flunk [[Rahil Savani]] who says his "good year, bad year" weather theory will come true...the flunk is near! <br />
<br />
[12:25 PM] [[Daniel Hong]] brings back "no bev", apparently he tries to bring that movement back every year right before flunk day...coincidence? I don't think so!<br />
<br />
[12:36 PM] [[Daniel Hong]] is speechless, this never happens! Is he keeping secrets of the flunk?<br />
<br />
[1:19 PM] Professor [[Larry Welch]] predicts the flunk happening tomorrow, if it's not Flunk Day...it will be Flunk Day. <br />
<br />
Members of the Student Life Committee received this email from Travis on Monday. The flunk is near. [https://dl2.pushbulletusercontent.com/uROsPEhtzDFi3cZJVn9JT0XR1n7ZmyoK/Screenshot_20160426-125528.png]<br />

Today marks exactly 2 weeks from the flunk email, and last year flunk day was exactly 2 weeks after the email.<br />
<br />

"Why was feminist party so ratchet?" you might ask. BECAUSE LITERALLY EVERYONE NEEDS THE FLUNK. It cannot wait one more day.<br />
<br />
[8:40 PM] I dreamed a dream of Monday FLUUUUUUUUUNK, when hype was high and posts prolific. I dreamed that the Wikifire would be right, I dreamed that Flunk God ([[Kati Stemple]]) would be forgiving. Then we were young and all excited, and scares were made and used and wasted. There were no failing grades to be paid, no hints unconfirmed, no booze untasted. Then the friars come at night, with their air horns loud as thunder, as they make your hopes come true, and they bring the Flunk to fruition <--- you are amazing <-- Thank you *takes an anonymous bow*<br />

[http://i.imgur.com/DAvwHBz.jpg] <-- fake, the fact that it says 'satisfactory flunk day experience' proves its fake.->CONFIRMED it's fake. There should be a parameter next to the sent date noting how long ago this email was sent. Nice try lol<br />
<br />
[05:39 AM] Trucks are passing by on South St. The Wiki Fire is strangely silent. There is a buzz in the air. Is this it? Could the Flunk finally be upon us?<----ARE THEY STOPPING????<br />
<br />
[06:05 AM] Unless our wake-up call is terribly late, today is NOT Flunk Day. Another day gone by without a Flunk. Tensions are beginning to run high. Will this year come to be known as The Flunk That Never Came?<br />
<br />
==Tuesday, May 3rd==<br />
<br />
Pretty likely date - close to previous years' dates, and late enough to let the weather get nice. <--- Currently says that it's in the 70s for this day.<br />
<br />
At Milk Route on the 26th Cyn Kitchen said the next Milk Route wasn't until May 5th, even though it's been said it's May 3rd for a while now! Did she forget they moved it FOR FLUNK DAY?!<br />

There is the active shooters seminar this day. A state trooper is coming in to speak, they probably wouldn't be able to cancel this the day of...could they? <--- pretty sure flunk day was planned before this, so it's still possible <-- This seminar has been scheduled since AT LEAST early March, so I'm not sure how much it will really matter for Flunk Day. <-- Nope, it does not matter. If Flunk Day happens, we will reschedule the seminar to a later date. Sincerely, an exec member of the new club Disaster Corps. :)<br />
<br />
A state trooper is scheduled to come to Knkc for an "Active Shooter" seminar. Perhaps there is no seminar and campus safety called him in to help with Flunk Day Safety. It's highly possible since the head of Campus Safety is new this year and may need some help! <-- This seminar is open to the public so I doubt it <---- This conspiracy theory is cute, but lolno. If this was the case, Campus Safety would've brought more than just 1 state trooper.<br />
<br />
[8:14] Cyn Kitchen sent out a backup Milk Route date!<br />
<br />
someone tell me what this link means about Flunk Day. Does this mean it can't be this week? ---> https://groups.google.com/a/knox.edu/forum/#!search/McLaughlin%7Csort:date/2015-2016-ra-staff-user/YpWhBvY4JCA/discussion <----- I can't access it. Can you take a pic/screenshot of it and post what is said? <---it's from march, soo...not relevant...?<br />
<br />

<br />
[9:37] At approx. 8:17pm, all Union Board members received their free Flunk Day shirts during their general meeting. Considering UB members have to take upon shifts at various times throughout Flunk Day to help facilitate the day's event, this could be an indicator that Flunk Day is within the next 3 days. #GetHype<br />
<br />
[9:44] Opened my email to a message from Hamblin's RA about staying safe and building damages on Flunk Day. She's getting hype <----Draura is always hype<br />

<br />
[11:11] Searched for trailers in the hotel parking lots. What was found were multiple unmarked trucks with small trailers (about 6 throughout Galesburg). 2 were U-Haul trailers.

[12:36] Campus safety keeps driving through the hamblin/exec/tompkins parking lot. Checking for early flunkers? THIS COULD BE HUGE<br />
<br />
[2:06] Flunk Day satisfies Bakhtin's notion of the 'carnivalesque,' which identifies events orchestrated by the ruling class that serve to pacify the people and dissuade social revolution. <---- CONFIRMED! Wake up, America.<br />

Will the Flunk be on May the 4th in honor of the Theme That Should Have Been: The Flunk Awakens? The Force is strong in the Flunk and it says May 4th. <br />
<br />
Baseball has a home game against Millikin tomorrow. It's scheduled on the websites for both schools and the NCAA Midwest Conference site. We will not be flunking on this day unfortunately. <-- But is it a conference game? The world does not revolve around baseball, unfortunately for your ego <--- It is, and take it easy I'm just trying to help out asshole. <--- Killing Flunk spirit is never helpful<br />
<br />
Hanh Bui, senior UB member and self-proclaimed "Flunk Queen" predicts the Flunk will come. Her stash is kept in her far-away Palace with a sticky note on it that says "May 4th." <----------CONFIRMED<-----this is suspicious. She didn't buy her flunk day stash way after this statement was on wikifire. <---not suspicious, the author of this note has an inside source. <br />
<br />
This is Henry's prediction. My source tells me he is 'pretty reliable.' <---- If he actually said this, this is the Day of Flunk. Henry is the most reliable source. He's a spy and tells students when it is.<br />
<br />
Flunk day planners and Travis had a meeting with the admin last week... Rumor has it that it was about flunk day and that the admin was not happy... KS has been stressed ever since...

[11:22] Slowly losing hope. Need it today to avoid death <-- could this all be an elaborate ploy to make sure we are dead for zombie flunk???<br />
<br />
[12:17 PM] There is a massive proliferation of safety on flunk day posters in Seymour. Literally all over the gallery. Could this be the sign from the planners we've prayed for?<br />
<br />
[3:30] Campus safety seen patrolling the mud pit<br />
<br />
Everyone bitching about Flunk Day needs to transfer <--- Also stop blaming the planners. There wouldn't be a flunk day without them and we all know that they plan so far in advance and have no control over the weather <-- TRUE <___ anyone who complained about a super fun day/tradition where your classes are canceled and fun things are brought in needs to go to Monmouth<------lol tru<--CONFIRMED!

Could the Star Wars reference at the top of the page be a hint of the impending May the 4th flunk? <---- I feel like the chances are Kylo <-- Okay, I'm leaving this for the pun, but don't be a Flunky Downer<br />
<br />
[4:02] ALL THE LAWNS BEING MOWED. I asked a worker so when does the mowing finish and he said he had tomorrow off? <------FLUNKIN READy <----maintence and grounds workers think its tomorrow<--#grasstheory<br />
<br />
[5:08] Just realized that campus safety did a fire alarm check of a lot of buildings today! (Including exec! Fire alarm never goes off here!) Preparing for tomorrow?<br />
<br />
[5:09] Knox wifi being especially shitty today. Have the zombies slowly started to arrive and take over our networking systems??? <--- THEY DON"T WANT US CHECKING/UPDATEING THE WIKIFIRE!!! THIS COULD BE HUGE!<br />
<br />
[5:33 PM] The once dead squirrel outside the Yellows mysteriously vanished! The Zombie plague is spreading!<br />
<br />
[7:05 PM] Senior [[David Valencia]], roommate of Pre-enrollment theory creator and believer [[Rahil Savani]], works for maintenance and knows when the date is. He has a piece of paper with the date in his wallet. <--- Pics or it didn't happen<br />
<br />
Admissions meeting scheduled for tomorrow was canceled without reason! <------ CONFIRMED!!!<------ flunk day confirmed!!!<--Where does it say this? I work for admissions and there's no email. <---- So what's the verdict? <-- Second CONFIRMATION from an Admissions worker - the email suspiciously said 'this does not mean flunk day is Wednesday'<br />
<br />
[8:30 PM] Cruz drops out of the Republican primaries. Are the flunk gods trying to communicate to us? <--- Hillary is still leading the Dem. race & Drumph is still in. I call this a half-omen.<br />
<br />
[9:07 PM] Kati seen walking down the stairs going into the UB Office THIS COULD BE HUGE!!!!!<br />
<br />
Take out the Dom Perignon, people. IT'S TIME TO SABER!!! <-- The printer company? <-- That's Sabre, you philistine. Sah-BRAY!---< Holy shit my bad <---... I'm already pre-gaming for tomorrow. LET'S FUCKING FLUNK!!!<br />
<br />
[10:40] Hearing lots of hype everywhere I go, but I'm disappointed to see the lack of evidence here<br />
<br />
[10:51 PM] So, this is a small piece of evidence, but I wanted to see if anyone else could corroborate this for their dorms. The custodian always cleans the bathroom in my dorm on Wednesday (this has been the case all year long), so I was surprised when the bathroom was cleaned today, on Tuesday, without an explanation of the switch. Anyone else notice the same thing? Custodial staff are in on the Flunk plans! <--- CONFIRMED! I live in 4-name same thing happened to us!<br />
<br />
[10:58 PM] This was from earlier today, at lunch. According to caf workers, the normal Tuesday food delivery is from Loffredo, but this does not look like a Loffredo truck... suspicious? Confirmed [http://imgur.com/MY2HgFy]<br />
<br />
[11:15 PM] [[Katie Hutton]]'s knees are giving signs of flunk tomorrow.<br />
<br />
[11:16 PM] Now there are two pictures on the Wikifire. Last year, there were two pictures on the Wikifire before Flunk Day happened<br />
<br />
[11:29 PM] Not EXACTLY the kind of truck we're on the hunt for, but maybe they're bringing in the zombies? :P [http://imgur.com/05USlGb]<br />
<br />
[12:00 AM] Flunk or riots.<br />
<br />
In case you were wondering how to tell if it is actually flunk day... [http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/3u6js5/]<br />
<br />
[12:38 AM] FLUNK DAY CANCELLED.<br />
<br />
[12:47 AM] Caf lights are on --> http://imgur.com/i1DC9TS<br />
<br />
[12:51 AM] Campus safety guarding the quads... Can we get a photo, quadsdwellers?<br />
<br />
[1:23 AM] Yik yak reports (complete with photos) of [[Kati Stemple]] blacking out the graffiti wall!!! [http://m.imgur.com/2xwVP9l] FLUNK DAY CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
[1:29 AM] [[Cassie McLaughlin]]?? Spotted in front of the union board, which now reads CONTAMINATION ZONE!!!! [http://m.imgur.com/U6mB5vY] I think this might be it guys!!!!!<br />
<br />
Anyone else worried about how early in the night the planners are doing this work and how obvious they're being about it...? Smells like a Flunk Fakeout to me...<br />
<br />
[2:20 AM] Flunk day in Barcelona confirmed. Yik Yak for source. Flunk day confirmed as they have it the same day as us <-- Pics or it didn't happen!! THIS COULD BE HUGE<br />
<br />
4:20 flunk it <--- it has been flunked. Waiting for my email!<br />
<br />
[5:47 AM] Lawn still bare. I hate life and all things not flunk.<br />
<br />
[5:58 AM] Scarers in the quad. Don't do this, guys, my heart can't take any more.<br />
<br />
T AMOTT REPORTEDLY SENT AN EMAIL TO RECENT ALUMNI ANNOUNCING THE PERMANENT CANCELLATION OF FLUNK DAY. IS SHE IN THE SPIRIT?? OR IS THIS FOR REAL? Someone confirm!!!! <-- I can confirm that the Knox Enquirer (basically a FB page that writes Onion-like articles, and is the source of this falsified email) is in the spirit.<br />
<br />
==Thursday, May 5th==<br />
<br />
IMG_1694.JPG<br />
<br />
Ahh the long awaited Cinco de Flunko - will it finally be upon us?<br />
<br />
This is also the only (viable week)day aside from the 27th within the normal two week period with no events on the calendar aside from pre-enrollment and club meetings. The signs are looking good<br />
<br />
Junior [[Riya Tiwari]] says this is her last choice for flunk day if all else fails. <--- last day that flunk could happen <====TRU <--- IF FLUNK DOESN'T HAPPEN UNTIL THIS DAY IT DOES NOT EXIST IT HAS BEEN CANCELLED. <---confirmed cinco de flunko bring out the tequila!<br />
<br />
8 days after the shirts came in, last year's flunk was 8 days after<br />
<br />
Can Flunk day be on a Thursday? <----theoretically? <---Duh. Flunk Day is fair game literally any day of the week<---false it's never on a Friday <--- Flunk day was on a Thursday in 2008. It could totally happen.<br />
<br />
Flunk Day Rules posters in Seymour are originally from 1989, a sign of a THROWBACK THURSDAY FLUNK? <=== post a link of where you found this?? How do you know it was on this date?<br />
<br />
Green Oaks people are in Wisconsin until Monday. Late flunk, waiting for Oakies? Perhaps the "patient zero" of the flunk?<br />
<br />
[8:34 AM] Whiny babies heard from the quads that Flunk Day wasn't yesterday. <--CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
[9:29 am] Smash Mouth heard playing at innkeepers. A sign from the flunk gods?<br />
<br />
I heard that the green oaks people are coming back today instead of tomorrow...hmm.<br />
<br />
[10:41 AM] On the calendar for May 5 includes a CPR and First Aid Training. Is it because...WE NEED TO KNOW HOW TO RESUSCITATE THE ZOMBIES!!!! FLUNK IS FOR SURE TOMORROW!!!!! <-- There is absolutely no logic to this statement. Zombies do not need resuscitating. However, Henry told me today that he was going to the Quicky to get his Flunk Day supplies because he has a good feeling about tomorrow. His feelings are never wrong. About anything. <br />
<br />
[11:14 AM] No lunch hosting scheduled for tomorrow. Flunk Confirmed!!!<br />
<br />
If this isn't flunk day I may believe that this is the year of no flunk<br />
<br />
[11:50 AM] Cutting the grass. #grasstheory<br />
<br />
[11:54 AM] Chef on the Gizmo patio with notepad. Planning out where to put food for Flunk Day?<br />
<br />
[2:49 PM] [[Larry Welch]] predicts May 5th Flunk Day, encourages everyone to prepare except [[Jazmine Kenny]] who should get some sleep for once<br />
<br />
[3:22 PM] Senior Madzia Bielinska is missing one of her Flunk Day shoes. It will not be Flunk Day until it is found.<br />
<br />
[7:40 PM] Senior [[Jazmine Kenny]] Spotted drinking margaritas...Cinco de flunko is upon us. <---CONFIRM! She was spotted with a senior UB member!!!<br />
<br />
[7:48 PM] Junior Holly Bieber returned to Knox from China yesterday. Did she know that the flunk was coming???<br />
<br />
[8:00] Is there anything in campus that could prevent this date from happening? <-- According to caf workers, it doesn't seem like the Flunk food is actually in yet, so I guess that's something<br />
<br />
[8:13 PM] Weird Wednesday is gonna be real weird tonight<br />
<br />
[9:08 PM] When do people from Green oaks get back? can someone confirm! <---- highly depends on this <---- no, it doesn't. Flunk day is definitely not planned around their trips. <--- they get back on Sunday <--- yeah as a GO alum I can promise you that we did not know when Flunk Day was and the WI trip was a great source of anxiety for us. <br />
<br />
[9:50 pm] Emily Cline was heard telling Kim Schrader, "I am staying as far away from campus tomorrow as possible." It's definitely Flunk Day. At least we can all hope.<br />
<br />
[10:45 PM] [[Jazmine Kenny]] spotted sleeping...passed out or getting a good night sleep before she flunks the day away<br />
<br />
[1:10 AM] [[Matt Sugai]]'s flunk day certainty cannot go to waste. This has to be flunk day!<br />
Cherry closed tonight and said see you at 6 tomorrow! Time to get flunk'd up<br />
<br />
[3:41 am] the wikifire is dead but these people might not be soon: http://www.sciencealert.com/a-biotech-company-has-been-given-permission-to-try-and-bring-dead-brains-back-to-life<br />
Zombie apocalypse and/or flunk day confirmed?<br />
<br />
[2:36 PM] The Flunk Day hype is like a zombie: It's basically dead, but you never know when it will strike.<br />
<br />
==Friday, May 6th==<br />
<br />
But what if???? NO ONE would see it coming. Plus it's the only nice day for a while.<--- let's fucking do it!<br />
<br />
Travis and Caf staff seen talking outside of the campus life office. Collaborating on where to put the food? FLUNK CONFIRMED.<br />
<br />
For the first time all term, the entire campus is free of weeds. They're prepping the grass for flunk.<br />
<br />
Caf food is seriously lacking today. Are they getting rid of old food so they can make room in freezers for flunk burgers?<br />
<br />
Heard from Peter Bailey himself that he was tipped off flunk day is tomorrow. He has all his equipment ready to photograph the event<br />
<br />
Prof Gilbert says Flunk Day happens on a Friday every 7 years. It's the 7th year. Flunk Confirmed. <--- Prof Gilbert also said it 100% won't be Friday because of a big art showcase.<br />
<br />
Mailroom received a shipment of party paint yesterday. UB members quickly moved it so it wouldn't be seen by non zombies. Rumor has it this paint is the cure.<br />
<br />
Zombie costumes all rented from Gaeaburg Costume Shop for tomorrow. <br />
<br />
ZOMBIES SEEN CRAWLING ON THE HORIZONNNN. Fuck yeah turn up.<br />
<br />
Fake blood spotted seeping out from under the campus life door...<br />
<br />
Travis seen smoking a joint with a couple zombies behind CFA.<br />
<br />
The weather is supposed to be 80s and sunny. Perfect weather to flunk <--- CONFIRMED.<br />
<br />
==Monday, May 9th==<br />
<br />
"No need for the wikifire. It's May 9th." - Jonathan Powers <---- This is the year!!! <--- Right!?! Been waiting for this for years!!!<br />
<br />
This is the year. I heard J-Pow retires this summer, so they finally granted his Flunk Day wish of May 9th. <---- Source?? J-Pow didn't say anything about retirement to the swim or water polo teams afaik... <---- Yeah, debunked. I just talked to him and he's not retiring anytime soon.<br />
<br />
We know now that this is the week -05/05, can not be on a Friday and they can't have it any later than this week for fear of students burning down the school. Monday or Tuesday look promising.<br />
<br />
We should throw our own flunk day. Students and faculty could skip/cancel all classes. It would be really chill. <--- good luck organizing the whole campus to do that *eyeroll* <------- it became a Knox organized/planned thing because someone always has a class that they are going to have to go too an obviously one date is not going to work for the entire student body. Stop thinking you can organize it own your own because you can't. This way the classes are actually canceled so everyone can participate. Weather they choose to or not is up to them. <---why would we organize our own flunk day when there are already four people dedicating a lot of time and effort to organize it?<---plus where do you think you're going to get that many bounce houses? leave it to the planners, they know how to throw a good flunk<br />
<br />
There is the 'Focus on Freshman' event this day as well as a speaker on this day. Unlikely that these would be cancelled for flunk day. <---- there are events every day. Almost anything can be cancelled. <---Rumor is, the planners ask faculty and staff to submit important events during Winter term so they can avoid planning during bigger on-campus events and the career center didn't submit this in the Winter. So there was no way for the planners to avoid conflicting with "Focus on First Years"<br />
<br />
[7:24 PM] The Lincoln Fest poster has come down, and a new event poster has not gone up. All that is up on the Union Board is the Flunk Day poster. It is coming.<br />
<br />
[9:19 PM] entire campus in denial. Should not be tomorrow. <--- Too bad for campus. The Flunk will occur regardless of public sentiment<br />
<br />
[11:00 PM] KS asks about a scare for tomorrow. Flunk confirmed. <-- CONFIRMED!!! She's asking, planting the seeds<br />
<br />
[12:00AM] Old Main bell ringing--signaling the upcoming apocalypse?<br />
<br />
==Tuesday, May 10th==<br />
<br />
Although there has only ever been one Flunk day the second week of May (May 8th, four year years ago)***, there are reports that two different students are flying in this week in order to participate in Flunk Day festivities. One student is a recent alumni who has received intel. from The Planners in order to romantically surprise her on-campus significant other, another is a current student who is off campus this term. Both reports come from students who are picking these individuals up from the airport. But who knows whether or not anything on campus will still be standing if it takes this long for Flunk Day to arrive. <--- Flunk Day 4 years ago (2012) was May 1st, not May 8th. I was there. It was great. ***There have actually been at least two Flunk Days this late in term. Significantly, the very first Flunk Day in the history of Knox College was May 11, 1922. Check it out, bottom of page: https://www.knox.edu/news/news-archive/flunk-day-2014<br />
And a photo from the referenced "Roughneck Week": http://collections.carli.illinois.edu/cdm/ref/collection/knx_way/id/288<br />
<br />
May 10th is way too late in the game. Plus even though Tuesday's are possible there's a reason why flunk day is rarely on Tuesday. - former planner ;) <----what is the reason? <--- labs, art classes, classes that meet twice a week. It's been done but it's usually avoided to make post flunking a bit easier.<br />
<br />
NO JUST NO!!!!!!<br />
<br />
Confirmed by one of the planners by mistake... It's today <--- proof? <--- WELLL.. you didnt hear it from me but i heard Dana tell Brandon that Matt told her that Janey told Kevin that she saw Johnny and Paul walking but Charlie wasn't with them he was with Dana but Charlie told Paul that he heard that '''everybody fucking knows it's gonna be flunk day on May 10th.''' <- this part especially<br />
<br />
[12:44 PM] C-Store workers confirm flunk day is tomorrow. <--- CONFIRMED by Gizmo workers as well<br />
<br />
[1:01 PM] All lawns being mowed! Flunk Confirmed! <--- They mow different parts of campus every day. This is a myth..<br />
<br />
Flunk Day is definitely not going to be on Tuesday guys. I mean there are SO MANY other days left that are prime Flunk Day material. There is the 11th, 12th, 13th... and so on. Don't get your hopes up. This is FOR SURE not going to be Flunk Day, I mean really everyone. Nothing to see here. Move along to other days. You are just wasting your time reading this right now since there is a 0% chance this is Flunk Day. Shoo... no need to think about it any more. You can sleep in there really isn't even a reason wake up early to check for an e-mail. I'm being so serious right now. Don't even entertain the idea that this could be Flunk Day. It's NOT. <- '''FLUNK CONFIRMED'''<br />
<br />
[4:12 PM] Flunk Day is without doubt tomorrow simply due to copious campus belief. <- Confirmed.<br />
<br />
[5:33 PM] Nothing of substance is happening on campus, of course this must be the time for flunk day!<br />
<br />
Guyz. It's shitty as all hell tomorrow. If flunk day was tomorrow, all that ruckus last week will come around ten fold. The flunk day planners know this. It will most likely be Wednesday.<--- Wrong. Flunk day isn't moved because of the weather. They've booked everything for one specific day.<---Also Wednesday is just as rainy, enjoy the rain flunk! <br />
<br />
I havent been by the quads this year but I hope you folks made it huge! Tomorrow's weather and theme should make for a legendary Mud Pit!!!<br />
<br />
Much beloved alumna Bekah Lauer '14 says that today is definitely the day. She would not reveal her source but she said she would stake her reputation on it.<br />
<br />
[8:00PM] Travis seen rushing across campus complaining about the rain. Last minute preparations for the flunk?<br />
<br />
I've heard that the English department has big speakers coming in Monday and Wednesday--leaving Tuesday open for flunk day!<br />
<br />
[8:56 PM] Deities and prophets of all major religions drove up South Street in an unmarked white truck firing Flunk Day T-shirts with a T-shirt cannon. Ganesh was in the driver's seat revving the engine to rally the planners and Thor was riding shotgun taking a hit from a Mjolnir-shaped bong. Good ol' Jesus himself was hanging out the window turning the rain into wine so grab a cup get out there and get drinking. The Holy Crew then anointed every grounds worker and Food Services worker with the divine knowledge of the sacred Date of the Flunk. Rumor has it that Yahweh/Allah himself will be performing this year with a choir of angels. Definitely no way that Flunk Day could be any day other than this day so everyone drop everything and start partying. Blessed be your stashes in the name of the Flunk, the most Gracious and most Merciful. Amen.<br />
<br />
[9:04 PM] Junior Allie Whitehill is headed to the bars for a fabulous Flunk Eve 21st bday bash, saying "If I wake up drunk at 5 AM, it's all for the better." This could be huge. <----Confirmed, girl knows how to rally.<br />
<br />
[9:40 PM] The cackling and moaning of wild packs of Flunk Zombies can be heard throughout the halls of Hamblin. Symptoms include drinking copious amounts of alcohol, bathing in the Flunk hype, and general 'turning-up' behavior. If you have had contact with any of these former students, BEWARE. YOU COULD ALREADY BE INFECTED<br />
<br />
[9:46 PM] Last year the dinosaur footprints appeared on campus the day before Flunk Day. There have been only a few viable Flunk dates since the graffiti wall went up, so that interval is getting a little stretched out, don't you think? Can't be long now<br />
<br />
[9:48 PM] [[Rahil Savani]] spotted running out of Founders screaming, "IT'S FLUNK DAY!" Could he have lost his mind, or does he really know?<br />
<br />
[9:55 PM] Seniors spotted already taking full bags of alcohol bottles out to the recycling. They've got a headstart on you, so get to FLUNKING <--- What?<br />
<br />
[10:00 PM] What are you doing checking the wikifire? You should be pre-gaming for tomorrow. Go drink and party! <--- you mean go to bed!!!<br />
<br />
[10:17 PM] Bouncy house truck spotted in country inn and suites. DA. FLUNK. IS. CONFIRMED. <- Pics or it didn't happen! <-- I HAVE THEM I HAVE THEM [http://imgur.com/vWi4FCr]<br />
<br />
[10:22 PM] Druids seen raising miniature zombies at Stonehenge. The flunk is nigh! See for yourself... [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAXzzHM8zLw] <---Please don't feed into the stereotyping that implies anyone from my religion or similar religions would attempt, or condone this. Also FLUNK CONFIRMED!!<br />
<br />
[10:25 PM] Trucks spotted at the Inn. Get ready to flunk!!! Source: Yik Yak. <-- For pics, see above<br />
<br />
[10:45 PM] Weather on the iPhone says NO RAIN!!!!! ITS A FLUNK DAY MIRACLE!!!!!<br />
<br />
[11:40 PM] What, is everyone too plastered to post to the wikifire? Come on, drunk posting would be the most fun<br />
<br />
[11:54 PM] A couple of SMC-rat kids have been told by Campus Safety that the flunk is upon us. One of the young officers said it IS CONFIRMED when asked<br />
<br />
[11:58 PM] Cars parked in front of the Seymour loading dock at a suspicious hour. [http://imgur.com/eH69LFT]<br />
<br />
[12:00 PM] Roger Taylor and [[Edward Flunky Hands]] spotted running down South street while double-fisting 10 foot bongs, yelling "Merry Flunkmas Eve to all, and to all, GET SOME DAMN SLEEP CUZ TOMORROW'S FLUNK DAY"<br />
<br />
[12:20] Everyone is buying alcohol at Walmart----> IT MUST BE FLUNK DAY TOMORROW<br />
<br />
[12.45] the "caution" tape is hanging out of KS apartment <---pics or it didn't happen!!! <--- I do not have pics but I can confirm that I also saw this.<br />
<br />
[5:04 AM] Updates? Some of us don't live on campus to check :(<br />
<br />
[5:57 AM] AAAARRRRGGGUHHHHHH! BRAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIINS!!!<br />
<br />
[6:04 AM] Refreshing.... refreshing... refreshing.... Guys... I think someone broke my email...<br />
<br />
[6:07 AM] The email has been sent. Let us record this historic moment in the annals of history!<br />
<br />
==Wednesday, May 11th==<br />
Flunk day will be on Wednesday!<br />
KS told me it was today. At first I thought she was messing with me. Now I don't.<br />
CONFIRMED WEDNESDAY!!!!! <---CONFIRMED! She was so upset this weekend by all of the campus negativity that she spilled on Friday night to some people at the bars!<-- She's also amazing at keeping her secrets <--- And at trolling the shit out of people. Anything she said cannot be taken as fact.<br />
<br />
<br />
There is a speaker from University of Cincinnati Historian Matthew Norman, so wednesday is a no go!!!! TUESDAY FLUNK LETS GOO<br />
<br />
==Thursday, May 12th==<br />
<br />
Most likely date. Only real option left. <---NO. I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THIS<br />
<br />
Day before Friday, the 13th. <--Zombie attack scheduled.<br />
<br />
What better day than the day before Friday the 13th for a Zombie Flunk? I think no day.<br />
<br />
I don't think today is Flunk Day. Not feeling like the one.<br />
<br />
==Last Year's Flunk==<br />

<hr />
<div>Considering the "Final Flunk" is already years passed, will there even be a Flunk Day this year? Is it always going to be on a Monday? Will [[Students For Flunk Day Truth]] actually "battle against the academic gluttony of the East Coast Ivory Tower Intellectual Liberal Elitists" and once and for all convince the Knox community that Flunk Day is not, in fact, real? Most importantly, what we must ask ourselves at such times is, "Should I grab my [[bong]] and [[Pabst Blue Ribbon]] now and squeeze and extra 12 hours out of this Flunk Day or wait for the email?" For answers, we look to history: [[Flunk Day 2014]], [[Flunk Day 2013]], and so on. As for tangible, informed sources, we know that only the true harbinger of Flunk is that revered pastoral scene of [[Xavier Romano]] and [[Roger Taylor]] riding Ol' Smokie (their unicorn) and puffing on their 6-footer. Until such a time comes: Flunk on, brave Flunkers, Flunk on. <br />
<br />
This Flunk Day was on a Wednesday. Much better weather than the year before too.<br />
There was a zipline!<br />
<br />

Helmut claims the dishwasher is broken, different brands of paper plates and plastic cups being used in the caf. Is the dishwasher really broken? Or are the cafeteria workers testing paper plate brands for FLunk Day??<br />
Seems the dishwasher broke around the same time last year..hmm this cOULD BE hUGE!<br />

Union Board announces that the "Flunk Day Pep Rally," at which the Flunk Day theme will be announced and seniors may sign up to be Friars, will be on Wednesday, March 25. Students contemplate whether to show up for this event drunk, high, or drunk and high. <br />
<br />
==Wednesday, March 25==<br />
<br />
Maybe Teresa will announce that the Pep Rally IS AND WILL COUNT AS Flunk Day this year. Wouldn't that be exciting?<br />
<br />
"After the Pep Rally, let's all gather together in the Quads as a community and start digging the mud pit." - Roger Taylor<br />

<br />
[[Kyle Hall]]: "I was considering putting as the subject for the email for the show tonight 'FLUNK DAY THEME REVEALED.' Then they'd open it and it'd be like, 'The Flunk Day theme is punk. Come to the show.'" <--- Kyle Hall is a secret Flunk Day planner? #FlunxNotDead<br />
<br />

==Wednesday, April 1==<br />
<br />
Cafeteria menus on My.Knox resort to gibberish. No meals tomorrow? FLUNK DAY.<br />
<br />
==Thursday, April 2==<br />
<br />
[[Coltan Parker]] and [[Ashlee Pitts]] seen walking together outside of Seymour Library. Highly suspicious. <br />
<br />
==Monday, April 6==<br />
<br />
Overnight, the lawn in front of Alumni Hall has been turned into a symbol of the mud pit. It's a bold move, but perhaps the administration decided that the reopening of this building was a momentous enough occasion to finally announce their secret support of the pit and all it's muddy goodness.<br />
<br />
Housing lottery numbers have still not been given. Koreen is obviously shirking her duties and drinking in preparation for Flunk Day tomorrow.<br />
<br />
[[Michelle Weber]] -- Super secret Flunk Day Planner. Frequents Travis Greenlee's office and has a penchant for dinosaur-themed antics. THIS COULD BE HUGE. ------> CONFIRMED. MICHELLE WEBER IS SUPER SECRET FLUNK DAY PLANNER.<br />
<br />
==Wednesday, April 8==<br />
<br />
Caf ladies overheard talking about having to come in EXTRA early on Wednesday. THE DAY OF FLUNK IS UPON US!!<br />
<br />
Some Union Board members also mentioned having to work early in the morning???<br />
<br />
Travis Greenlee was spotted on campus doing some "last minute preparation". Prepping... for FLUNK DAY?!?!?!!? <------ As hard as Travis works, there is NO WAY he would be on campus this late unless it was something as urgent as an early-morning Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
6 large trailers in the walmart parking lot???????<------- BOUNCE HOUSES?! <---- WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE?!<br />
<br />
11:57 PM Trains were heard. It's a sign. Prepare to Flunk.<br />
<br />
==Saturday, April 12th==<br />
IMPORTANT: After some digging (both in the mud pit and figuratively) the following evidence has been identified..<br />
<br />
1.The theme is Jurassic Flunk--> Jurassic Park was directed by Steven Spielberg--> Spielberg directed the movie Lincoln--> The screenplay for Lincoln was written by Tony KUSHner --> I think you see my point here. <br />
<br />
aka guest flunk appearance by Steven Spielberg and his 6 foot bong.<br />
<br />
==Monday, April 13th==<br />
<br />
First: this date tag was left blank for the entirety of April 12... This is very suspicious.<br />
<br />
Second: On April 12th, [[Cassie McLaughlin]] posted on Facebook that Union Board has finished selling Flunk Day T-shirts. Confirmation that this is THE DAY??? I think so.<br />
<br />
Also, [[The Knox Student]] has redone the layout of the paper. I have confirmation they have finished the Flunk Day edition of the paper.<br />
<br />
Confirmed: [[Cassie McLaughlin]] sent Union Board an email telling them the times they would be working Flunk Day shifts. She also stated via Facebook T-shirt sells were ending.... FLUNK DAY IS NEAR<br />
<br />
First scare was today. THIS COULD BE HUGE. <---- CONFIRMED the season of Flunk can now officially begin<br />
<br />
==Tuesday, April 14th==<br />
<br />
Several students have been seen changing their profile pictures to pictures from last year's flunk day. <br />
<br />
ON TOP OF THAT THE GOOGLE LOGO HAS GONE WESTERN (IN REMEMBRANCE OF LAST YEAR'S WILD WILD FLUNK??)<br />
THIS IS DEFINITELY HUGE. THE FLUNK IS SOON.<br />
<br />
[[Michelle Weber]] overhead talking to a friend on the phone about acquiring and/or expanding her Flunk Day stash. THE FLUNK IS NIGH.<br />
<br />
==Wednesday, April 15th==<br />
<br />
The annual flunk day email has been sent. I repeat, the email has been sent. Any day is now fair game for flunkage.<br />
<br />
April 16th isn't even on here. This could be huge<br />
<br />
[[Michelle Weber]] left her apartment late in the night and returned stumbling and singing the theme to Jurassic Park. She won't tell her roommates where she went. Flunk preparation activities? Check: Yes.<br />
<br />
==Thursday, April 16== <br />
Knox friars spotted preparing and drinking for Thursday's flunk day! Turn Up Up!flunk day 2015!<br />
<br />
I'm still up in Seymour working on a IR paper from hell. No activity in the mailroom. It isn't today.<br />
<br />
Everything about today is no.<br />
<br />
Sources confirm that [[Michelle Weber]] is having a private Jurassic Park viewing party in her apartment this afternoon in order to brief herself on dinosaur-handling ethics. A quote from Michelle herself: "No dinosaurs will be harmed in the making of this Flunk." Stay tuned.<br />
<br />
==Friday, April 17==<br />
<br />
This is the last admitted students day. Let the games (and the flunking) BEGIN!<br />
<br />
==Monday, April 20==<br />
<br />
Flunk Day recently has been on a lot of Mondays, and maybe the administration hopes to kill two birds with one stone by forcing Knox students to consolidate two of their most important holidays. If there is anything we know to be true, it is that having a Flunk Day on 4/20 would be like having your birthday on Christmas, only worse.<br />
<br />
Bethany is visiting for the weekend, possibly staying Monday to celebrate the flunk she never had as planner? -- CONFIRMED. Bethany is staying with [[Michelle Weber]]. Possibly conspiring as an alumni super-super-secret Flunk Day Planner.<br />
<br />
Knox is famous for rainy Flunk Days...so it's definitely today.<br />
<br />
<br />
WICTORIA CHANGES HER PROFILE PICTURE= FLUNK DAY IS TOMORROW!<br />
<br />
Yik yak claims there was significant digging done on the mud pit last night. Somebody confirm!<br />
<br />
Approximately 9pm- [[Alyssa Gill]], alum extraordinaire, makes a suspiciously flunky Facebook post telling us all to get some sleep... Tomorrow is flunk day<br />
<br />
==Tuesday, April 21==<br />
<br />
The only significant event on the events calendar is Natasha Trethewey. She was the commencement speaker last year, so she could be in on the Flunk plan!<-----Last I spoke with the TA they arranged this recently, until two weeks ago the date was up in the air. Flunk day was not planned around this.<br />
<br />
Union Board official Flunk Day shirts are IN! Just in time for Flunk tomorrow?<br />
<br />
Past Flunk Day planner, Bethany Marinier, sited on campus and speaking to Travis. They must have needed help with final preparations for Flunk Day TOMORROW and called in backups!<br />
<br />
==Wednesday, April 22==<br />
<br />
As of Tuesday, April 21, Walmart is out of Nalgene water bottles. THIS COULD BE HUGE<br />
<br />
Professional photographer will be on campus on both the 22nd and 23rd. Coming to take pictures of Flunk Day perhaps?<br />
<br />
Campus hasn't been buzzing nearly as much as it should be by now... This is the perfect time for the school to pull a surprise hump day flunk! What has humps besides a Wednesday flunk day? Dinosaurs. You're welcome.<br />
<br />
Steve Harwell spotted running into the memorial gym - this could be HUGE. Smash mouth has arrived.<br />
<br />
Is the Mud Pit ready yet? The Mud Pit determines when we flunk.<br />
<br />
==Thursday, April 23==<br />
<br />
William Shakespeare and [[Clint Davis]] celebrate their respective birthdays (420 years apart) today.<br />
<br />
Overheard some caf workers talking about a big shipment coming in today. Flunk Day food? GET YOUR STASHES READY! THE FLUNK IS UPON US!<br />
<br />
Former professor said he has been hearing rumors that he is "feeling good about" and advised to get prepared tonight. Can this source be trusted? Should we all be holding onto our butts?? <--- depends on where he heard the rumors, but if he's advising us to get prepared it might be a good source<br />
<br />
Prof. Stuart Allison seen walking in front of the Beanhive carrying a suspicious paper bag at 3:48 PM. Clearly it is hallucinogenics. Clearly it's prep for flunk day. THIS COULD BE HUGE~!!<br />
<br />
I'll be pulling another all nighter for Sue's IR theory class most likely, so I'll give updates on any mailroom activity early in the morning. In the future someone who lives in seymour should probably be checking the mailroom at 4 or 5. <--- what time do they start stuffing mailboxes? People should be checking the caf too! Helmut has to get in early to make Flunk Day Breakfast!<br />
<br />
Yo, guys. They locked the mailroom. They're gonna fill all the boxes with goodie bags TONIGHT. THE FLUNK IS UPON US. <--- They lock the mailroom every night, we need more evidence than this<br />
<br />
On Wednesday, April 22, actual [[Michelle Weber]] said, and I quote, "I reallllyyy hope tomorrow isn't Flunk Day." Which means: PREPARE TO FLUNK.<br />
<br />
11:13 PM-The big one has the others testing the fences. They're looking for weaknesses. Flunk is nigh.<br />
<br />
11:17 PM- Seniors in the Hamblin area screaming that Flunk Day is tomorrow.<br />
<br />
[[Cassie McLaughlin]] asked [[Diana Marutyan]] to cover her C-Store shift tomorrow. Surely this means that Flunk Day isn't tomorrow???<---Unless this is just meant to throw us off the scent!<br />
<br />
I asked [[Cassie McLaughlin]] if Flunk Day was tomorrow and she said, "I don't know, is it?" FLUNK CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
[[Cassie McLaughlin]] is being talked about a lot today. She is slightly uncomfortable. <---confirmed<br />
<br />
[[Coltan Parker]]'s planner has X's on the 28th, 29th, and 30th. What does this mean??<br />
<br />
11:45 PM-I have still have half of this paper to write. Based on my luck, flunk will be tomorrow and I will write the rest hungover on Friday. <--- Hello hulett my old friend<br />
<br />
1:00AM-MAILROOM LIGHTS ARE ON!!! IDK HOW I GOT IN HERE [https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2516/3855948381_c0a4691b3c_b.jpg] <--- This isn't a picture from tonight, there's way more stuff down there right now.<br />
<br />
1:26 AM-Teresa and Ray spotted riding across the Quads on a T-Rex. THIS COULD BE HUGE.<---Anybody hear that? It's a, um... It's an impact tremor, that's what it is... I'm fairly alarmed here <---CONFIRMED!!<---Couldn't catch a pic of the T-Rex, but here's my water cup as evidence! [http://cdn.filmschoolrejects.com/images/JurassicParkWater-300x200.png]<br />
<br />
1:31 AM-Senior Social went past expected time and seniors migrated to Cherry St. Their movement patterns are just like birds. Birds are dinosaurs. FLUNK CONFIRMED >>> "False. Birds may be descendants of theropods, but even that is controversial and based entirely on cladistics. Flunk day cannot be tomorrow." - Mikko Jimenez<br />
<br />
1:35 AM-Campus suspiciously quiet...<---CONFIRMED. Silence = THE FLUNK IS NIGH!<---Campus is obviously trying not to move to hide from Teresa's T-Rex. FLUNK DOUBLE CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
2:25 AM — I really really want to give up on this paper but I'm going to crank out 2 more pages and live with the consequences of not caring at all. IF IT IS FLUNK DAY TOMORROW SOMEONE WILL UNDOUBTEDLY GET YOLKED UP.<br />
<br />
==Friday, April 24==<br />
A road crew in China discovered dozens of fossilized eggs, clearly this is a sign of the unexpected: A FRIDAY FLUNK<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Michelle Weber]], [[Coltan Parker]], and [[Diana Marutyan]] spotted at Baked at the SAME TIME. Friday flunk preparations in the works?! THIS COULD BE HUGE!!!<br />
<br />
imagejpeg_0.jpg <---- That is a very convincing piece of evidence, FLUNK TOMORROW<br />
<br />
==Saturday, April 25==<br />
The paper plates and plastic utensils were out for lunch. Helmut leaves and secrets get out. <br />
<br />
<br />
==Sunday, April 26==<br />
April 26, 1995: "The Making of Jurassic Park" aired<br />
<br />
==Monday, April 27==<br />
Nothing on the calendar for today and nothing on the Wikifire yet either? Suspicious...<br />
<br />
The planners really like Mondays. Flunk Day has been on a Monday for the last couple of years. I'm sure it's this day. I can just feel it.<br />
<br />
A little pterodactyl just flew by my window and told me that this will be the day. Would the cute little thing lie to me? That's your call but I'd get ready for a three day weekend!!! LET'S MOTHER FLIPPING FLUNK!!!<br />

<br />

<br />
12:37 AM - Dinosaur noises heard coming from Travis's apartment. IT'S TIME. <--- Flunk Day planners got real dinosaurs for the special day.

<br />
1:20 AM - TRAVIS JUST CANCELED A MEETING THAT WAS SCHEDULED FOR TODAY!!! [http://i.imgur.com/2jDgLFq.jpg] THIS COULD BE HUGEEE <----------- LIAR, you can easily see that the email is fake + the text is fake (try harder next time!!!)<br />

It is confirmed that John Schlaf will be retiring on April 30th. Far more plausible than good ol' John abandoning the campus just in time for a Friday Flunk Day is that he'll put in one last Flunk Day (but JUST one, dammit) and then retire promptly the day afterwards.<br />
<br />
On April 6th, many Yik Yakers cited this as the foreshadowed date of the annual Flunk. They cited a booking with Entertainment Avenue as the reason behind such staunch belief, but this information is yet to be confirmed... <---- Entertainment Avenue doesn't keep listings of their bookings out on the website, so is it a flunk planner trying to throw us off, an excited freshman, or someone IN THE KNOW!!!! <--- don't you think the agency would know about the secrecy of the event, especially if they've been used before??? It's not going to be that easy to get the date from the company<br />
<br />
A Women's Softball game scheduled for today was confirmed canceled. THIS COULD BE HUGE. <br />
<br />
CASSIE A FLUNK DAY PLANNER HAS AN X IN HER CALENDAR FOR THIS DAY! <---- pics or it didn't happen<br />
<br />
According to Emma Downing, among others, Helmut has the 29th circled and starred on his calendar and that he attempted to hide this fact during a meeting with a student in his office.<br />
<br />
Pretty much nothing on the events calendar<br />
<br />
<br />
http://i.imgur.com/ZNc8OSE.png THIS IS HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE FELLAS <---- they had a similar post in last week's campus life email too.. do people not read those? <-- CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
1:00 AM - [[John Bird]], [[Bruce Kovanen]], and [[Padraig Sullivan]], driving back from a Neutral Milk Hotel concert in Iowa City, did a circle-round of all the hotels. They spotted an all white eighteen-wheeler in the Hampton Inn and Suites. It sat in the shadows. It was unmarked except for a small text on the side of the cab that said "Rent-A-Center"<br />
<br />
5:30 AM - Bryan Valencia spotted in flunk day attire, strutting towards campus with a guitar. Elaborate scare? Or the real deal?<br />

<br />
~2:30 PM - Yik Yak post reading "everything in the kitchen prep book for today is for the gizmo tomorrow, nothing for the caf or oak room. Flunk day tomorrow for sure." The brave yaker is currently trying to get pics, but the staff keep hovering. If anyone can confirm, then ITS FLUNKING ON<br />
<br />
2:48 PM - Hadley has started drinking out of her flunk day water bottle!!! <------ Hadley who? <--- Hadley WHO?!? <---- SECRET FLUNK DAY PLANNER<br />
<br />
2:55 PM - a student, when meeting with Helmut Meyer of dining services, saw his calendar marked with a circle and stars on Wednesday the 29th of April, before he hastily covered it up. THIS IS HUGE. FLUNK IS UPON US.<br />

<br />
4:38 PM - Casey Mendoza spotted at the Gizmo. Her presence signifies Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
6:28 PM - [[Michelle Weber]] has been seen scratching at dry, rough patches of skin forming on her elbows and knees. The rash looks greenish-brown and seems to be spreading. Pre-med majors have concluded that it is no human ailment--the skin looks reptilian.<br />
<br />
The grab n go was closed for breakfast Tuesday, food shortage or FLUNK STASH!!!!!!<br />
<br />
7:32 PM - Koreen Kerfoot still in Campus Life office with the lights off. <--- lonely asf<br />
<br />
8:15 PM - [[Michelle Weber]]'s neck has begun to stretch and the nubbin of a tail is forming on her backside. It is confirmed. She is turning into a dinosaur, just as every Flunk Day Eve before.<br />

<br />
10:06 PM: [[Michelle Weber]] is on the brink of full metamorphosis. She is no longer recognizable. She is essentially a fleshy, mutated, long-necked reptile, growing by the second. Soon the apartment will be destroyed. Then the house. Then the block. Flee the Academy and Tompkins area. She is not carnivorous--she means no harm--but her sheer size is destructive. I fear this is my last post of the night, possibly ever. The Flunk is upon us. Brave Flunkers, heed caution. These dinosaurs are beautiful, but dangerous. And they're growing. Be careful; your lives are at stake. It may seem impossible. But the Flunk finds a way.<br />

Is he insane, or are the flunk day planners actually turning up with [[Travis Greenlee]] ? <---NOTE McLauglin's only comment as to the possibility of Foxall's assertion that flunk day is tomorrow being true, was to say that she herself is sober at this moment in time. Is Travis turnt? Is FLUNK DAY TOMORROW??? <---- CONFIRMED. TRAVIS TURNT AF<br />
<br />
11:16 PM - Don't really know him <--- CONFIRMED <--- DOUBLE CONFIRMED.<br />
<br />

11:45 PM - Lady at wallgreens asked a knox student if she was ready for tomorrow!! THIS COULD BE HUGE.<br />
<br />
11:55 PM - Found at least six large white trucks, some unmarked, parked at the Holiday Inn. It's FLUNK DAY EVERYBODY! FOR SURE! We are posting the pictures ASAP! <------------- Not to be a jerk but trucks are pretty meaningless. There are semis at these places every night, as over the road truckers don't sleep in their cabs every night. Also, HOW MUCH STUFF DO YOU THINK FLUNK DAY NEEDS? I'll give you a hint, not 6 semi truck loads full. ALSO, the rental companies Knox uses deliver the stuff in trailers behind pick up trucks usually. <---------- Confirmed, there are also vans with large trailers. One of the trucks is marked "Martin Bros. Food Distributor".<br />
<br />
12:44 Post basement doors that have been unlocked all year and at all times are now locked. I know, because I was afraid my laundry was going to have to spend the night there.<br />

IT"S FLUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNK DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!<br />
<br />
From: Dean Deb Southern <br />
<br />
Good Morning,<br />
<br />
Today, April 29th, IS Flunk Day. Enjoy your Flunk Day 2015. We hope you take the time to participate in the many activities which have been planned for the day.<br />
<br />
Union Board will be sending out the schedule of events shortly. <---This one time, I posted this as a prank, and then two minutes later it was Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
==Thursday, April 30==<br />
<br />
On March 12, John Schlaf announced that he will retire on April 30th. The advanced notice of his retire in the middle of the term seems suspicious...<br />
<br />
But there's a big TRIO trip on this day, and I doubt they would plan them together. So I doubt its this day. Hmm.<br />
<br />
The lucky numbers on my Joy Garden fortune cookie are 2, 12, 19, 30, 36, 40. I think that means today, the 30th, is the flunk. Or, May 2. Either way, THIS COULD BE HUGE.<br />
<br />
Kimberlé Crenshaw is on campus today. It was a miracle that we got her, so it won't be today.<br />
<br />
==Friday, May 1==<br />
<br />
John Schlaf probably decided to retire the day before so that he wouldn't have responsibility for FRIDAY FLUNK DAY!!!<br />
<br />
The Orpheum debuts Shrek the Musical on this day. COULD THIS MEAN SMASH MOUTH IS THE FLUNK DAY MUSICIAN? THIS COULD BE HUGE.<br />
<br />
HOLY FUCK SHREK THE FUCKING MUSICAL IS COMING TO GALESBURG???????<br />
<br />
Avengers: Age of Ultron is released in theaters today. Chris Pratt plays a character in the MCU. Chris Pratt is starring in the new Jurassic Park movie. FLUNKVENGERS CONNECTION!!!<br />
<br />
==Monday, May 4==<br />
The only things on the events calendar that day are a few club meetings and Writer's Block. Easily rescheduled. FLUNK<br />
<br />
Confirmed. May the Fourth be with you. <-- The Union Board is a big fan of Star Wars. <-- Confirmed<br />
<br />
Interim VP of Student Development interviews are also today. No flunk.<br />
<br />
==Tuesday, May 5==<br />
<br />
It's a Tuesday, warm weather... Is this finally the year we will see Cinco de Flunko??<br />
<br />
==Wednesday, May 6==<br />
Later in the term, to avoid backlash from students and bad weather. Good midweek break. Coltan has his worst classes on Wednesdays - it stands to reason he would try to avoid them. No athletic events scheduled this day. THIS IS IT. ==> Best Buddy Olympics is today, I doubt planners would force that to be rescheduled. <----- when was the best buddy Olympics scheduled? If it wasn't in the fall basically, it wouldn't be taken into account when picking the day. It could STILL BE FLUNK<br />
<br />
Williams Shen thinks the Flunk will occur today. <----- But is the GoPro ready?<br />
<br />
==Thursday, May 7==<br />
Jurassic Park was broadcast on television for the first time on May 7, 1995<br />
<br />
==Saturday, May 9==<br />
-J-Pow's annual Flunk Day prediction. <br />
<br />
-What bettter way to surprise us than by throwing a weekend flunk?<br />
<br />
==Thursday, May 14==<br />
On May 14, 1992 the FBI led a raid to claim the famous T Rex fossil Sue for the federal government. Rumors about an early flunk are merely a coverup for the real day. This late flunk will surprise everyone when Union Board leads its own raid on the Field Museum to claim Sue for flunk festivities.<br />
<br />
==Friday, June 12==<br />
Jurassic World will be released this day. Jurassic Flunk is millions of years in the making, so it can transcend the boundaries of the academic year.<br />
<br />

<hr />
<div>The theme of Flunk Day 2014 will be "80's". That's not true.<br />
---> OhEmGee, that's SO true. -----> Nope. The theme of Flunk Day 2014 is WILD WILD FLUNK.<br />
This Flunk Day was on a Monday AND it rained heavily. A bunch of stuff was cancelled/moved to the field house, and it was terrible.<br />
<br />
Consult your literature for the reading of the day of the flunk. [[Flunk Day 2013]]<br />
<br />
==January 6==<br />
It is rumored that the five feet of snow on the ground is the work of the Flunk Day planners, but [[Xavier Romano]] and [[Roger Taylor]] have not yet been spotted with their 5-foot [[bong]]s, so no correlation is likely. <br />
CORRELATION IS ALWAYS LIKELY<br />
<br />
'''11:24 AM''' FLUNK DAY CONFIRMED. Classes, administrative functions, and public events have all been cancelled on the website. THIS COULD BE HUGE? HAPPY FLUNK!<br />
<br />
==January 7==<br />
11:45pm Theresa Amott and Rodger Taylor seen ripping their homemade snowbong outside the Quickie. <br />
<br />
<br />
12:17am Tony Gant spreading rumors that the heating is still down on campus. . .Coldpocolypse Part II?<br />
<br />
==February 16==<br />
11:20 pm The Founders of the committee [[Students For Flunk Day Truth]] reunite, in secret, in the steam pipe tunnels beneath the heart of campus for precisely 5 minutes and 55 seconds.<br />
<br />
[[Sigma Nu]] held their chapter meeting an hour early today. FLUNK DAY IS TOMORROW XD XD XD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
==March 9==<br />
Soon, my pretties, soon. The day of flunk shall be upon us. As the snow melts and the campus takes its much needed Spring Parting, the flunk gods are busy preparing for the festivus. <br />
<br />
==March 26==<br />
Our time of absence - Spring Break - hath hastily departed this world. Verily, spring term is upon us, and as it begins, so doth the Flunk. Clutch tightly to the warm embrace of the WikiFire lest thee be caught by that most pernicious evil - the scare.<br />
<br />
--->Thank you, oh great creative writing majors at Knox ---> I'm a CS major<br />
<br />
== March 27== <br />
AFTER THE FIRST SENIOR MEETING? SENIORS ALREADY DRUNK. PROBS FLUNK DAY<br />
<br />
==April 8==<br />
Travis, Bethany, and Wiktoria spotted walking back from a meeting together in a jovial mood...flunk day tomorrow?????<br />
<br />
==April 15==<br />
Theresa Amott came to me in a dream and told me Flunk Day would be today. She said, "The early Flunk Day catches the worm." BAM, THERE IT IS.<br />
<br />
Tax day is today. Therefore no flunk. <br />
<br />
At 2:46 pm Deb Southern sent the Flunk Email. She warns the pleebs to not "be fooled". <-- Confirmed!!! <br />
<br />
Blessed are those who prepare for the flunk. Prepare your altars with your wine and your sustenance. Do not forget to partake in the water that which will quench thy thirst and allow thee to carry on as the spirit of the flunk enters you.<br />
<br />
A friendly helpful reminder from the flunk of yesteryear and the scriptures of the 13th year: <br />
The Rules of the Flunk:<br />
1. Thou shalt forever proclaim "Tomorrow is Flunk Day" even when thou knowest it to be false<br />
2. Thou shalt encourage thy fellow flunkers in the excitement of the Flunk, not crusheth their dreams<br />
3. Thou shalt make silly and ridiculous proclamations such as "Trains were heard. Tomorrow is Flunk." on the WikiFire<br />
4. Thou shalt love the Flunk scares for they bring about the anticipation of the Flunk<br />
5. Thou shalt never give up hope for Flunk <br />
The breakage of any above rule results in the loss of Flunk Spirit by not only your own unfortunate soul, but by the entire campus. Be a jolly Flunker, friends. Be a jolly Flunker.<br />
<br />
==April 16==<br />
''Mean Girls'' is on Netflix. Flunk Day is tomorrow. <--- Confirmed. On Wednesdays we flunk.<br />
<br />

<br />
I work in the cafeteria and at work yesterday I noticed many unlabeled boxes in one of the larger refrigerators; MUST BE FLUNK FOOD<br />
<br />
This day is lookin' pretty good... Not many events on the College Events Calendar... this day is lookin' VERY good<br />
--> ONLY a dance workshop. Schedule way after the planned date for flunk day. MUST BE FLUNK DAY -> um that dance workshop person cost $5000 to bring here. I don't think the administration would want to mess that up.<br />
<br />
Union Board and the Knox administration has been attempting to get rid of the mud pit. Tomorrow is early enough to catch mud pit diggers off guard. Furthermore, the weather is supposed to be amazing. THIS COULD BE HUGE. <br />

<br />

The cake is a lie. <--- He could be a spy. Arms. <--- CONFIRMED. "Eric has nice triceps." -[[Coltan Parker]] <br />

<br />
11:32 PM I'm sacrificing my sanity to the flunk gods so tomorrow has to be flunk day <--- Knox students are losing sanity due to midterms. THIS COULD BE HUGE. <--- Well-timed Flunk Day to give us a break before midterms??? PLEASE, FLUNK GODS!<br />

<br />
==April 23==<br />
04/03 3:06 PM Deeply, deeply suspicious activity from admissions makes this date seem possibly. Why else would their calendar say this is "FALL INSTITUTE" and that no classroom visits, interviews, or tours will take place???--Okay, so now Admissions says it was a "copy/paste problem" BUT STILL. SUSPICIOUS. Screenshot available at http://bit.ly/PoiGZs<br />

<br />

<br />
According to Schwartzman, they moved a really flunking important ENVS speaker from this day to sometime in may because "Teresa wouldn't be able to make it." We all know Teresa will be firing up the bong with Roger Taylor all day because THIS IS THE DAY OF FLUNK. <--Can we put this on the t-shirt? <---When are they selling t-shirts this year?<br />
<br />
I heard Student Senate President '''Philip Bennett knows that today will be Flunk Day.''' He might be one of the secret planners. CONFIRMED!!! SIGHTED: Talking to Kristine Ilagan in the library yesterday whilst eating strawberries. Mind blow.<br />
<br />
CONFIRMING EVIDENCE: I was talking to one of the Alumni Hall construction workers today, and he was telling me how he needs to take a couple days off, but his manager told him that he should wait until the beginning of next week (Monday), since they would have that day off anyway. FLUNK FLUNK FLUNK!<br />
<br />
Highly likely, Earth Week will be over and a majority of midterms will have happened already...<br />
<br />
As it gets closer, Leandra's "flunky sense" ("spidey sense" for Flunk Day) will kick in more, but currently she thinks this is 2 days too early. She is a senior, and her flunky sense has never been wrong.<br />
<br />
It's Megan Beney's birthday. Boom. FLUNK.<br />
<br />
We all know how much they LOVE a Monday Flunk Day. Seems pretty likely<br />
<br />
Robert Turski is confident that this day is Flunk Day for uncited reasons. Ask him.<br />
<br />
Who are the Flunk Day Planners? We need to follow the Flunk Day Planners!<br />
<br />
Have you guys SEEN the mud pit since yesterday? Flunkin. Dat. Shit. Up.<br />
<br />
A Knox alum from '65 is giving a talk tomorrow (4/29). So why is he arriving today (4/28)? To celebrate Flunk Day, obviously!<br />

Driving back from home today and I followed a trailer full of horses into the burg with a rental sign. What else could Galesburg use horses for other than a wild western flunk?!?!<br />
<br />
Is there a secret planner? No way is it Phil Bennet ->>> If anyone, it's going to be Ryan Paulus or Kesley Witzling. They both worked as interns for Campus Life. -> CONFIRMED. DEFINITELY WHAT THEY DID ALL SUMMER. PLAN DAT FLUNK. ->> DOUBLE CONFIRMED. THEY WORKED WAY TOO MUCH IN CAMPUS LIFE TO NOT KNOW SOMETHING! ->> They are not planners one of them is Kristine!<br />
<br />
This is the planned date for the Red Room Tutors!<br />
-> Flunk Day ALSO fell on the Red Room hiring last year. Laura Bush knows what's up. Double coincidence possible?<br />
<br />
Thunderflunk THIS COULD BE HUGE<br />
<br />
Just got a phone call to "confirm" someone else's eye doctor appointment for tomorrow. Could they really be confirming that tomorrow is Flunk Day? THIS COULD BE HUGE.<br />
<br />
KRISTINE ILAGAN EMERGENCY MEETING WITH TRAVIS GREENLY... MOVING THE DATE???!<br />

<br />
7:43: Craig Southern seen rushing into his office! He looked stressed and was followed by a velociraptor.<br />
<br />
Wiktoria spotted working at the library wearing a Wild Wild Flunk shirt. She probably thinks that we would consider that this means Monday is flunk day, but she also knows that we would think that would be too obvious, which means that she thinks we’ll think Monday isn’t flunk day, but we know that she thinks this, therefore we know that Monday is flunk day!<br />
<br />
Mailroom employees met up together this weekend... I heard they all know when flunk day is. Bethany works there!! http://i.imgur.com/oLxp7PB.jpg?1<br />
<br />

<br />
8:31 PM A Confirmed RA said Travis was on duty all weekend. Extended Flunk weekend?<br />
<br />
9:05 PM Flunk day planner Wiktoria spotted writing a paper due on Tuesday. She is a procrastinator, but a notorious homeworker. She's getting it done because she won't be writing tomorrow!!<br />
<br />
Is the food in?!? What is this intel?! We need info from the people that work in the caf!!--- My resident who works in the caf just said that the caf workers let her know that it is time to Flunk but then that worker took it back after speaking with Helmut-> Helmut seems frazzled.-> what else is new? ->> I saw Helmut in the Gizmo at 6:50. Was he giving Pinky and the other staff the Flunk's Eve off?<br />
<br />
9:54: TRUCKS ARE PARKED IN FRONT OF THE BEST WESTERN. I REPEAT, TRUCKS ARE PARKED IN FRONT OF THE BEST WESTERN. -->> PICS OR GTFO --->> WHAT KIND OF TRUCKS???? -->> THIS COULD BE HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE!!!!!!<br />

==April 29==<br />
Flunk day is today. Watch it play out in front of you. If today is bad for whatever reason, It will be held May 13th but only if something catastrophic happens. May 13th and 14th are backup days for April 29th. Watch.<br />
<br />
QUICK CONSPIRACY THEORY! The Fray AND The Plain White Tees are playing in Peoria April 30th. Surprise musical guest? Surprise musical guest. <br />
<br />
ALSO They don't have a concert on April 29th according to their tour schedule -> http://www.thefray.com/us/tour <br />
<br />
ALSO ALSO The poster for the trip to Peoria mysteriously vanished on April 22nd. Flunk Day? <-- that's because they sold out no way they would pay for this!<br />
<br />
This conspiracy theory was concocted by [[Michelle Secunda]] and [[Morgan Barton]], so you know it's possible. Like. In the realm of reality possible.<br />

Wednesday flunks are about as popular as Monday flunks. It's also close enough to May 1 to satisfy the planners.<br />

03/25 9:25 PM Knox student Will Shen, posts on Facebook that he, "heard the Flunk Day is on April 31st! Cheers!" <-------CONFIRMED, IT'S ON FACEBOOK<br />
<br />
I guess 2014 is a leap year with the leap day being April 31.<br />
<br />
Bethany knows how to warp space time and will flunk on April 31 with or without the rest of us. Evidence here: http://tinypic.com/r/5ovwab/8<br />
<br />
Flunk Day does not exist, so there is no way it can be today.<br />

Flunk Day was on May 1st the last two years, Teresa Amott is trying to normalize flunk day<br />

== The MudPit ==<br />
''<br />
<br />
This year, the school seems to be taking it all a little more seriously - they have dumped sand and mulch onto it. In response, student organization considers the following; <br />
<br />
1 - We '''understand''' and '''respect''' the obvious safety and cleanliness concerns from the administration.<br />
<br />
2 - However, this does not justify the ending of a nearly century-old student tradition.<br />
<br />
3 - Thus, to address the administration's concerns, we, as responsible students, must make sure we a) have and use hoses to get the mud off before we tramp in, b) don't do '''dumb shit''' like jamming mud in keyholes or throwing our friends around and c) clean as much of the mulch out as possible, to make this doable.<br />
<br />
We have talked to the administration - a long-term solution must come. Ideas include;<br />
<br />
- re-planting the pit/switching out some of the salty, infertile soil for good stuff, and planting flowers for the summer.<br />
<br />
- have sober(er) students to watch the pit<br />
<br />
<---If the administration seriously wanted to stop the mud pit from happening, they would be able to pretty easily. The actions they have taken are the minimums needed to satisfy the insurance company, but otherwise, nobody wants to stop the mud pit. CALM DOWN AND DIG.<br />
<br />
== '''Was 2012 The Final Flunk?''' ==<br />
<br />
'''October 1, 2012''' <br />
There was a large ring around the moon. No flunk day. <--- CONFIRMED. That shit was wack.<br />
<br />
'''November 26, 2012'''<br />
Xavier spotted with his 6-footer [[bong]] ("water-pipe" to undergraduates). Last year he was spotted hopping off a train car full of bums, holding his 6-footer, ripping his shirt off, and screaming "FLUUUUNK" so loud he shattered the [[Gizmo]] Patio and killed the lower branches on many trees, which explains both the replacement of the patio and the removal of a good amount of beloved foliage. This year, though Xavier is almost forgotten among the younger generations of Knox, he made a glorious comeback by returning today with former President [[Roger Taylor]] (also unknown among young Knoxians) in a stretch Cadillac limousine. Reports indicate the limousine "rolled up" to the [[Seymour]] loading dock where, bongs in hand and enveloped in smoke, Xavier and Roger emerged, tipped their purple leopard-print hats at Helmut, and simultaneously exclaimed, "FLUNK DIGGETY, MOTHA FLUNKAS," before entering the steam tunnels where they are to remain until the sacred [[Flunk Day]] rituals commence.<-----CONFIRMED!!!!<br />
<br />
'''December 19, 2012'''<br />
A few days before the end of the world, crows were spotted on campus NOT BEING OBNOXIOUS. Ladies and Gentlemen, the final flunk was definitely in 2012.<br />

Official [[Tim Kasser]] Flunk Day prediction: April 26. The second mention of a Friday this Flunk Day season. This could be huge.<br />
<br />
8:04 p.m.: [[Kaitlyn Duling]] spotted in Gizmo discussing secrets with Union Board members. Secrets of FLUNK????<br />
<br />
'''March 29, 2013'''<br />
Went to Master Stirfry. Got a fortune cookie and it said 'Behold! [[Andrei Papancea]] might be one of the flunk day planners'. ---> THIS COULD BE HUGE ----> Andrei Papancea went to Vegas for spring break. The Killers are from Vegas. Coincidence? I THINK NOT! ---> Fellow Union Board member [[Arnold Salgado]] went to Vegas with Andrei. IT WAS TOTALLY A SECRET FLUNK DAY PLANNING SESSION. ---> Andrei's response to these accusations: "Muahahahaha." Smells fishy...<br />

<br />
== Flunk Predictions ==<br />
<br />
Senior [[Anna Meier]] has a series on [[The Knox Student]]'s website to predict flunk day. You can follow that here: <br />
http://www.theknoxstudent.com/editors/<br />
<br />
Sophomore [[Cody Sehl]] has made a thing of beauty: http://isitflunkdayyet.com/ <-- Confirmed, Cody Sehl is a computer genius.<br />
<br />
The Official [[Sam Martone]] Flunk Day Prediction stands at a bold April 24. <br />
"Things are moving fast on the Flunk front, which means the OSMFDP remains April 24." &mdash; Sam Martone (@s_martone) April 12, 2013 <---Incorrect once again. Sam Martone has never correctly predicted Flunk Day. He has never even been close. <--- Confirmed. Pretty sad.<br />
<br />
== April 1 ==<br />
<br />
At approximately 9:47 p.m, Jessica Howard was spotted in a groutfit while going into the Quickie. She may or may not had been struggling to stand up straight and trouble staying clothed. Is she possibly stocking up on booze for Flunk Day tomorrow? CONFIRMED THIS COULD BE HUGE!<br />
<br />
== April 3 == <br />
All Union Board Events are scheduled for a Friday or Saturday. Smooth move giving us no clues from the UB schedule, Planners.<br />
<br />
10:11 a.m.: TKS rumored to be making the Flunk Day issue tonight. Flunk Day is tomorrow.<br />
<br />
== April 8 ==<br />
<br />
First all-nighter of the term. Flunk Day swiftly approaches.<br />
<br />
Flunk Day Friar Email sent out- this is the first time in my time here in these glorious lands that they have asked for sign-ups for Friars. Something is fishy.<br />
<br />
The Flunk day planners seen together at the caf and immediately after at Post Lobby talking.<br />
<br />
Freshman will have had their mandatory Flunk day suite meetings by Thursday of this week.<br />
<br />
== April 9 ==<br />
Saw Regina Rosenbruck on the west side of Galesburg walking alone by the sandwich shop on Main. Flunk Day is confirmed tomorrow. And its being catered cause caf food tastes like the inside of a pigs asshole.<br />
<br />
The caf got large shipments of frozen cookies over the weekend, including seven extra boxes of the same flavor. Possibly preparing for Flunk?<br />
<br />
== April 11 ==<br />
T-shirt email sent out. Today is not flunk day, but tomorrow IS. <br />
<br />
Andrei Papancea seen in a mirror at The Landmark. Shenanigans. <br />

Regina and Kaitlyn were seen buying their flunk day stashes this weekend, FLUNK DAY IS THIS WEEK!<br />
^that wasn't Kaitlyn's Flunk day stash- that was her weekend stash.<br />
<br />
First day selling Flunk Day shirts!<br />
<br />
5:27pm - Monday is Flunk Day. <--- CONFIRMED!<br />
<br />
5:55pm - Prayer to the Flunk Gods of El Dia De FLUNK:<br />
<br />
"Oh gods of the ether, gods of the Flunk<br />
Bring us this day our daily dunk<br />
of righteous catharsis<br />
and nightmarish rhymes<br />
so that we remember these drunk, dirty times."<br />
<br />
6:07pm - I got the Walmart card from Cindy for an event this weekend, but she never said it was due on Monday. SHE ALWAYS SAYS. IT CANNOT BE DUE ON MONDAY BECAUSE CINDY IS GOING TO BE FLUNKING HER DAY AWAY!<br />
<br />
6:40 looking at the weather forecast for the next 10 days... tomorrow? Only a 20% chance of rain and 60 degrees. Sounds like Flunking Weather.<br />
<br />
7:05 PM. My friend works in the caf, and he overheard two ladies talking about tomorrow's schedule and how they need to fill an early shift tomorrow. The kitchen manager lady was nominated, but she said "There's no way I am going to come in THAT early tomorrow. It's way to early and Helmut can get someone from the Gizmo or something..." She obviously knows that Flunk Day is tomorrow and doesn't see the need to come in when it's FLUNK DAY. <------ also, there seem to be a lot of extra buns. ... and cookies!<br />
<br />
7:27pm: Lincoln Fest is next Saturday. . . isn't Flunk Day usually within a week of that? <- And Earth Month events are primarily the following week, so early this week seems golden.<br />
<br />
7:54 p.m: Any status on the mud pit and/or planners?? <-- Where are our trusty seniors!? Homework or Hogracing?<br />
<br />
8:12pm: SPIES<br />

8:27pm -- I JUST REALIZED THAT THE SIGN UPS FOR FLUNK DAY FRIARS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT HAS HAPPENED AND SO THAT MEANS THEY NEEDED TO KNOW ASAP WHICH MEANS THAT FLUNK DAY IS TOMORROW BECAUSE IT IS AS SOON AS IT CAN BE WITHOUT INTERFERING WITH EARTH WEEK AHHHHHH START DRINKING! <-- Dude they haven't even had a chance to sell t-shirts or send out the safety e-mail... <+++++ SO!? THEY CAN SEND IT OUT ON THE DAY OF! THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY DOING THINGS DIFFERENTLY THIS YEAR!! NO JIL GATES, NO SYSTEME!! ...

<br />
'''Flunk day is not today'''<br />
<br />
But we did read this in an email from Deb Southern: <br />
<br />
"The clock is ticking . . . let’s make sure that we work together to ensure that future generations of Knox students will have the opportunity to experience Flunk Day."<br />
<br />
SAFETY EMAIL SENT OUT. The season of Flunk is upon us. <br />
<br />
10:48 p.m: A mysteriously large vehicle drove past the quads twice, shining its luminescent headlights across the buildings. SUSPICIOUS!<br />
<br />
== April 16 ==<br />
'''Dear Conger/Neal, <br />
WHY IS THERE NO FUCKING MUD PIT YET?!?! Flunk day is just around the corner and there is no progress. Step it up quads! Plus, the fact that it might rain again will make the digging easier and more fun.''' <br />
<br />
The famous Art Department Field Trip to Chicago that was scheduled for April 16 was mysteriously canceled on account of too few people signing up... riiiight...<br />
<br />
ALL THE SENIORS ARE CHANGING THEIR PROFILE PICTURES TO PICTURES OF FLUNK. FLUNK IS OBVIOUSLY UPON US.<br />
<br />
3:30 p.m: The Axis Dance Company workshops that were supposed to take place Thursday, Friday, and Saturday have been cancelled! Obviously Flunk day is Thursday! I mean, how many emails did YOU receive about signing up for it, and now its suddenly canceled!<br />
<br />
11:35pm: Suspicious yelling outside the Yellows. Seniors know all. Flunk Day is tomorrow.<br />
<br />
== April 17 ==<br />
It's a Wednesday. Suspicious.<br />
<br />
Heavy rains are forecasted today; along with perfect conditions for Mud Pit Digging. GET ON IT CONGER/NEAL! ASSEMBLE THE SHOVELS!<br />
NEAL 1. MAKE THE FUCKING MUDPIT. I'm talking to you, Mickey, Jodi, Stephanie, Ella, Katie, Britney, Becky and Savannah. Oh And Angie, it would help if you would MOTIVATE your residents, to do THEIR FUCKING JOBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
^^^ who the fuck is Savannah?! #unansweredquestions #theflunkisuponus<br />
<br />
THE MUD PIT DIGGING HAS COMMENCED! Flunk day screamers, start your engines!! <--- CONFIRMED!! The storm gods know its flunk season!<br />
<br />
<br />
== April 19 ==<br />
Flunk Day did - once - occur on a Friday. Tony Gant reported having extremely hungover, severely sunburnt students the following Monday. <br />
<br />
Could 2013 be the year of FridayFlunk?<br />
<br />
Weather forecast calls for snow. Flunking in the snow? Sounds worse than last year in the rain..<br />
<br />
It's an Admitted Students day so it can't be today.<br />
<br />
12:00 a.m: RUMORS OF MUDPIT DIGGING TONIGHT!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
'''THIS MUST NEVER DIE'''<br />
Twas the night before Flunk Day, when all throughout Knox Not a creature was sleeping, not even the Fox. The Wiki and Facebook both opened with care, In the hopes that Flunk Day news would soon be there.<br />
<br />
The friars were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of mud pits danced in their heads. And Roommate with booze, and I with my stash, Were all buckled in for the crazy ol’ bash.<br />
<br />
When out in the Quads there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew in a flash, Where someone there shouted, “Get off of your ass!”<br />
<br />
The sun on the top of newly-made mud Gave excitement and awe to first years and their buds. When, what to my wandering eyes should appear, But a big group of seniors, with a whole lot of cheer!<br />
<br />
With a check of my inbox, to see what they say, I knew in a moment it must be Flunk Day! More rapid than eagles, the friars they came, They whistled and shouted, and called out by name:<br />
<br />
“Now Conger! Now Neal! Now Elder and Four Name! Oh, Post! On, Furrow! Sherwin, don’t dare be lame! To the pit filled with mud! To the lawn of Old Main! Now drink away! Drink away! Let’s all go insane!!!”<br />
<br />
== April 22 ==<br />
<br />
Meatless Monday. Meatless Flunk Day? <--- False. Meatless Monday is a confirmed Earth month event. <--- Helmut is distracting us from the truth. The only way he would agree to such a dramatic change in his schedule is if he knew it wouldn't actually happen. #FlunktheEarthDay.<br />
<br />
Kaitlyn Duling gets a glimmer of fear in her eyes every time someone mentions Meatless Monday. <----SUSPICIOUS.<br />
<br />
Craig Southern spotted on campus several times this weekend.... making sure everything goes well for a Monday Flunk Day?<br />
<br />
Upper Classmen seen at Hyvee buying their Flunk Day stash!--->CONFIRMED!<br />

<br />
SPOTTED: Regina and Craig Southern at the Landmark. Making final preparations undoubtedly. ---> WHAT TIME?!-> 8:30!<br />
<br />
One of my senior housemates just disappeared and can't be reached. This is unusual. Friar?<br />
<br />
Wouldn't a meatless Flunk Day be SO KNOX? Is there even meat in space? <--- Only freeze dried. If they want it to truly be Space Flunk, there will be no meat. <--- THIS COULD BE HUGE<br />
<br />
8:31pm: Craig Southern spotted in Gizmo, paused in line, and exited. Last minute Flunk Day planning?<br />
<br />
10:17pm >>>>Confirmed reports cite seeing Craig Southern on the telephone in his office around 10:00pm. >>>>THIS COULD BE HUGE!!!! <<<NOPE! Interviewing campus life position<br />
<br />
10:17pm: BBBBBBRRRRRRIIIIIIIIICCCCCKKKKKKK SQQQQQQQUUUUUAAAAAADDDDDDD<br />

<br />
10:29 Lights on in the mailroom! Someone keep watch!<br />

11:24 Jil Gates, former Master of Fun and Flunk Goddess changed her cover photo to a picture from Flunk Day 2011. She definitely knows that tomorrow's the Flunk.<--- SHE DOESN'T EVEN GO HERE ANYMORE! <--- You think the planners wouldn't invite her to Flunk with us?!!?!? THIS COULD BE HUGE!!!<br />
<br />
11:27pm There are barely any people in the library.....the flunk is all around us. <<<-CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
It has be said that the flunk shipment arrived friday, they can't it for too long. Flunk day is tomorrow. <---- Shipment could also have been for the Lincolnfest picnic. The caf gets shipments every single day. Doesn't mean anything.<br />
<br />
The old flunk day twitter is in denial. Why so eager to say there's no flunk? Suspicious. <<<- CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
No one thinks it's Flunk Day tomorrow.....ergo, Flunk Day is tomorrow! <------ CONFIRMED <----------- Flunk while no one is looking, stay vigilant Knox<br />

Pour a drink and flunk away! <br />

I believe I can flunk :-)<br />
<br />
11:57pm: Matt J has a court date at 10:30 on April 22nd, it's totally Flunk Day. <-- I don't know if this is CONFIRMED but either way THIS IS HUGE. <--- CONFIRMED, I got pulled over with him in Peoria, they thought we were running drugs back to Galesburg, but in reality we had gone to Culver's and cashed his paycheck. <br />
<br />
11:59p.m: Regina Rosenbrock spotted sealing her eyes shut with neon puffy paint. Flunk? <-- Why would you seal your eyes with puffy paint if the greatest day of the year is coming up? Should be lining them and making them stay open! For all the Flunking!<br />
<br />
12:03am: Renowned former Knox attendee, [[Alicia Niles]] seriously considers buying a 7am train ticket as Flunksurance, THIS COULD BE HUGE <-- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUFT35S7Jb4<br />
<br />
12:31 AM: SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS <--- When the Dark Lords of Flunk evoke the ghost of Lincoln, times are desperate.<-- You guys keep this up, and Lincoln's ghost will come down and destroy Flunk Day. Don't provoke the 16th President. <-- "If you're a racist I will attack you with the North." - Abraham Lincoln - Michael Scott<br />

6:30 PM: Andrei Papancea spotted at Walmart looking at what seems to be a large, glass vessel... This could be huge.<br />
[[File:vessel.png]]<br />
<br />
10:26 PM: Nice little four hour break for a pre Flunk Day posting session. Way to go WikiFire. <-- I don't know whether to be suspicious or disappointed.<br />
<br />
11:30 PM: Flunk day must be tomorrow because it is the only day I have classes. Also, Andrei was not at chapter the other day. He was probably out coordinating things last minute...<br />
<br />
Alumni friend messaged and said she heard it was this day....<br />
<br />
12:03 AM: I'M ALDUS SNOW. BULLSHIT BULLSHIT BULLSHIT BULLSHIT. <-------CONFIRMED!!!<br />
<br />
Suspicious Facebook event for Alumni Flunk Day today and Wednesday? Hmm... <------- Those are never relevant to the actual flunk day, get with it!<br />
<br />
1:06 AM: LOUD NOISES HEARD NEAR THE SOCCER FIELD. PROBABLY SOME FORM OF TRAIN. <----- Thank you. For real. This brought a smile to face that needed it. Flunk on, my friends, flunk until the Earth stops spinning.<br />
<br />
1:48 AM: Goldie said he didn't see any unusual people buying unusually large quantities of alcohol. He thinks it's too early for Flunk Day. But the Soviets thought it was too early to put a person on the moon in '69 and we gave the doubters some permanent footprints and a perpetually mid-wave flag on the lunar surface. SPACE FLUNK. <---- No one buys Flunk Day stashes from the Quickie!<br />
<br />
== April 24 ==<br />
<br />
Kathy in the caf said that she hasn't started preparing the Flunk Day baked goods yet, and she usually starts a few days before Flunk. Her guess is that Flunk Day will be sometime next week.<br />
<br />
Josh Hosmer-Quint asked Kaitlin Duling if Flunk Day is gonna be this upcoming Wednesday. She winked at him. <br />
Seems legit. <--- NOT LEGIT. NOT CONFIRMED. Just because she winked at him DOESN'T MEAN IT'S GONNA BE FLUNK DAY. <--- Yeah! Kaitlyn Duling winks at everybody. REAL NICE PREDICTION YOU HAVE THERE. <--- I so agree with you. I wish people would stop posting jokes on the WikiFire. I actually want to know when Flunk Day is going to be. <--- Confirmed. Some people are serious students and actually need to know for their planning. <--- I KNOWWWW. <--- Yeah, people seriously need to stop trolling. <---but the WikiFire is troll central. It's part of the fun. DO YOU EVEN GO HERE <--- Look, referencing The Breakfast Club doesn't make you look smarter. Editing The Wiki Fire doesn't make you more clever. And trolling me definitely isn't gonna stop me from beating you. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. <--- Well that escalated quickly. <--- not really... <--- Ain't nobody got time this. <--- People don't even bother proofreading thier comments. < haha what about your comment that's ironic <--- CONFIRMED LOLOLOL <--- I just wish people would treat each other respect. <--- Yeah, and taking the WikiFire and especially the Flunk Day page seriously instead of just making jokes on it. <--- THANK YOU. <br />
<br />
^^^FOR THE SAKE OF THE ABOVE, LET IT BE FLUNK ON THIS DAY. Have you people lost the spirit entirely? Or are you first years who know no better? Flunk Day is not about planning. Flunk Day is not about being a serious student. Why else would they put FLUNK in the title? FLUNK your planners, FLUNK your regular lives, FLUNK FLUNK FLUNK. THIS COULD BE HUGE. <--CONFIRMED. <--- can we all stop replacing "fuck" for "flunk?" it makes us all sound like Christian Bible Camp team leaders or something. Would you actually say "Flunk you" out loud trying to be funny? my guess is no... <---"flunk you" in response to this. <-- SERIOUSLY? Who are you people? FLUNK DAY IS THE GREATEST OF DAYS. Stop the negativity and FLUNK<br />
<br />
<br />

Meetings don't matter, clubs don't matter, sports don't matter (in 2010 the golf team got their phones taken away and were informed it was Flunk Day during an away tournament). DON'T THINK YOU KNOW WHAT'S UP. No one is better at trolling than the Flunk Day planners. <--Confirmed<br />

`What do you know about this business?' the King said to Alice.<br />
<br />
`Nothing,' said Alice.<br />
<br />
`Nothing whatever?' persisted the King.<br />
<br />
`Nothing whatever,' said Alice.<br />
<br />
`That's very important,' the King said, turning to the jury. They were just beginning to write this down on their slates, when the White Rabbit interrupted: `Unimportant, your Majesty means, of course,' he said in a very respectful tone, but frowning and making faces at him as he spoke.<br />
<br />
`Unimportant, of course, I meant,' the King hastily said, and went on to himself in an undertone, `important--unimportant-- unimportant--important--' as if he were trying which word sounded best.<br />
<br />
<br />
April 23rd- Kaitlyn looks outside worried and says she hopes it stops raining. ....maybe because she wants perfect weather for Flunk Day tomorrow?<br />

Velociraptors seen running around wearing space helmets with Flunk written on them. Flunk day is tomorrow!!! <-- CONFIRMED <-- Jesus we're back on this shit about Velociraptors? Shit was funny two years ago. <--well someone's clearly lost the Flunk spirit, but no matter [http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UVtlb8EJEkU/TuutKN1jp_I/AAAAAAAAA00/gRK1475go6c/s1600/OBrienDino.jpg]<-- Obviously the Velociraptor sightings are bullshit since they died out with the Final Flunk. What you actually saw were Miniature Giant Space Chickens from the planet Acheron. THE FLUNK IS ON!<-- its not quite that easy to kill a velociraptor<--Of course, you must be velociraptor to know that and survived by learning how to use technology.<br />
<br />

<br />
9:45 PM - The Quickie doors are locked. THIS COULD BE HUGE (or not, some things are just normal-sized)<== Goldie has to go to the bathroom like the rest of us. No panic necessary.<br />
9:50 PM - The Quickie reopened after a very short time (4 minutes 24 seconds, maybe?). Goldie says there's a sale on fifths of Jose Cuervo, and told me "it could be tomorrow," and "tomorrow is the best day" when I checked out.<br />
9:56pm: HyVee Wine and Spirits workers report a large influx of Knox students tonight. COULD IT BE?? <== CONFIRMED.<br />

In a related story, he also tells his incredibly loud neighbor to "Shut the fuck up, I'm trying to sleep!"---> if the match was scheduled after they picked the Flunk day date, then it will be cancelled. THe FLunk stops for nothing!<br />
<br />
Walmart is out of Flunk jugs! The seniors know somethinggggggg! Also, now I have nothing to flunk out of... <--- Walmart ran out weeks ago. You must be a first year...<br />

Probably meaning we're not "that" terribly cool.<br />

== April 25 ==<br />
<br />
This was the day that was supposed to be Flunk last year. It was sunny, it was warm, and there was a good scare, but everyone ended up walking around looking depressed because it was not Flunk. How clever would it be of the planners to give us the Flunk we've been waiting for?<br />

1:08 JPow sent out an email to Econ 110 saying there would be no class tomorrow (4/25) "in celebration of your fine (I hope) performance on today's (4/24) exam." But it's not in celebration of our exams... IT'S IN CELEBRATION OF FLUNK!!!<br />

<br />
I cannot be denied that April 25th is the best date. [[http://cdn.crushable.com/files/2011/04/misscongenialityapril25-490x532.png]] <--- CONFIRMED<br />
<br />

== April 26 ==<br />
<br />
Official Tim Kasser prediction.<br />
<br />
Admitted students day- Flunk will not be today. Unlikely to be day before because campus will be messed up for the prospies. <--- False. Admitted Students Day is this Friday (the 19th). CHECK YO EVENTS CALENDAR. <---CONFIRMED. April 26 is NOT an Admitted Students day. There are no more of them!<br />
<br />
Run-A-Thon- Flunk will not be today.<br />
<br />
Plus, Knox is making a big deal of the Earth Month activities for that weekend and they likely don't want the campus all messed up for that. <---Campus has been flunked up for bigger activities. If this day is not Flunk, it will more likely be because it is a Friday.<br />
<br />
The State Superintendent of Education is visiting campus today. Not a chance of Flunk. <---Confirmed. The Ed department told all the majors to look presentable in class.<br />
<br />
9:18PM its supposed to be 62 degrees and nice tomorrow. flunk day?? <br />
<br />
9:22 PM no one thinks its flunk day. flunk day confirmed?<br />
<br />
What ever happened to no Friday Flunk? Is that not a real argument anymore? <-- possible that the new President doesn't know the No Friday rule + No master of fun this year. Flunk Day planners may have been able to get away with it for once.<br />
<br />
Awesome people spotted getting flunk day outfits from the Salvation Army. Flunk is near!<br />
<br />
10PM Helmut just now seen leaving the caf!! A little late?<br />
<br />
== April 29 ==<br />
<br />
The last two Flunk Days were on May 1 and 2. This week seems to be golden. But might it be earlier this year? Or later? <--- the school year goes later this year Flunk Day could be later. <--- Highly likely. <-- But Amott is concerned with the aesthetics of the campus and its marketability, so she may want it earlier to clean up before the late spring and summer round of school visits.<br />
<br />
Word is the Baseball Gods and the Flunk Day Gods have been working in cahoots this year. After a long trip to and from Wisconsin on this weekend the combo of Gods have decided that this is the only viable option for Flunk Day. The scripture is written and so it shall be.<--Except for the fact a doubleheader vs. Loras was rescheduled to this day. Not gonna happen.<---AHA but there be hope yet. Loras still lists the Knox doubleheader as cancelled and has no games listed for the 29th. Eisele is trying to trick us but we shall not let him!<---The game has been removed from the events calendar & the baseball schedule. <---According to an email from the Loras Head Coach, the games were never scheduled to be made up due to their conference scheduling. Suspicious...<---Flunk Day is Monday, that is of course unless Coach I desires to play Spoon River again.<br />
<br />
There is a professor from California giving a lecture today.<----Flunk Day is more important than California.<br />
<br />
THIS IS THE LAST DAY THAT FLUNK DAY SHIRTS ARE ON SALE. SUSPICIOUS? FLUNKSPICIOUS?<br />
<br />
In class when asked about picking a date for a movie both Regina and Bethany were both suspiciously busy on this day. When asked why they became shifty and said because of union board. When confronted further they became nervous <-- They are masters of deceit. Also, when the fuck are we gonna hear about who the friars are? Cause I'm tryna get shit balls drunk on chocolate milk.<---Last year's friars did not find out until the morning of Flunk Day & they were asked to sign up. <br />
<br />
<br />
[[Rup Sarkar]] says that today is NOT flunk day. He knows this. It's his fourth flunk day.<-- Its also like 300 other peoples 4th flunk day. <--CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
THE ALMOND BROTHERS SPOTTED ON CAMPUS FLUNK DAY IS TODAY!! [http://i.imgur.com/ihqYTLQ.jpg]<br />
<br />
Let the Monday hype begin.<br />
<br />
I hope everyone has his or her stash! I hope everyone has his or her Flunk Day outfit planned. BECAUSE FLUNK DAY IS ON MONDAY. MONDAY FLUNK DAY. MONDAY FLUNK DAY. MONDAY FLUNK DAYYYYY!!!!<br />
<br />
I asked [[Bethany Mariner]] today if Monday is Flunk Day. She refused to answer the question and immediately walked away. <--She does that for any question about flunk day.<br />
<br />
<br />
Reasons Flunk Day is tomorrow:<br />
1) The screen from earthday is still out there <--------They don't do weekend pick ups. don't get your hopes up<br />
<br />
2) the tent from Cats and Lasers is still there<br />
<br />
3) The stage is still there<br />
<br />
4) its after Midterms, so there are no academic problems <-LIES. I have 3 midterms this week (monday/tuesday/wednesday), I still hope flunk day is Monday though. <br />
<br />
5) The Miami Heat swept the Bucks<br />
<br />
6) [[Abe Eastman]] thinks its flunk day<br />
<br />
7) There have been '''2''' food deliveries in the past week <---- THIS MEANS NOTHING. There is a food delivery EVERY DAY. <br />
<br />
8) the speaker can easily speak the next day (and she's talking about ancient Christian texts, and the professor responsible for bringing her is the Latin professor, and ancient christian texts should be in Aramaic. <-- She is actually talking about why ancient LATIN texts were kept in circulation in the Christian academy despite their obscene nature. Also, ancient Christian texts aren't just in Aramaic-- the entire New Testament was in Ancient Greek. Ugh.<--Latin Vulgate, Greek Septuagint, Fail.<--Agreed Point is Thoroughly wrong. Not to mention classical style of composition and narrative (Paul's letters)and references to the classical tradition through out.Oxford does not publish a Greek Biblical Lexicon for nothing: http://www.amazon.com/Greek-English-Lexicon-Testament-Christian-Literature/dp/0226039331 .<br />
<br />
9) ??????????? <--- Get shitfaced<br />
<br />
10) Profit?????????<br />
<br />
Conclusion?<br />
Its time to get ya'll flunk on Mother Fuckers!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
I ran into Craig Southern at the Earth Day event yesterday and he says a Monday Flunk day this year is not likely. Or is it??<br />
<br />

<br />
3:43 PM Why would Union Board make Flunk Day tomorrow after a huge Union Board event-filled weekend? that doesn't make sense. Flunk Day unlikely.<----- Less clean up days. Just clean it all up at once instead of cleaning this mess up and then Flunk day in a couple of days.<br />
<br />
every weekend is "a huge Union Board event-filled weekend." the flunk abides.<br />
<br />
4:46 PM Dogs heard barking. Perhaps they smell the flunk approaching?<----- DOGS ARE BARKING! This could be huge!<br />
<br />
76 degrees and sunny, the Flunk Gods decree that it be flunk. <<<silly first years, weather doesn't matter!<br />
<br />
7:32PM Staff e-mail says to prepare for an "unusually early and exciting" morning. FLUNK DAY CONFIRMED! <-- Whoa whoa whoa. Can we get REAL confirmation on this?? <- yeah trying to take a screenshot but my computer is failing, I got the e-mail forwarded from a friendly caf worker, if i can get this to work i also need to block out their name (believe what you want, i don't want to get them in trouble so im blocking it out) <br />
<br />
7:35 PM Lane V Sunderland says its Flunk Day. Ergo it must be Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
8:04 Does anyone NOT have anything to do that can go sleuthing for clues around town? Can we get some pics of trailers, large trucks, or other mysterious clues that point to Flunk Day? WE NEED TO GET THIS BALL ROLLING. WE MUST FIND THE FLUNK, NOT LET THE FLUNK FIND US.<br />
<br />
<br />
8:09 Civettini seen drinking with staff at McGillacuddy's. mumbling about his statistical model. <---That is fairly normal. <---- CIVETTINI IS THE TROLLIEST PROFESSOR EVER!!!! Do not Believe his POLITICAL SCIENCE LIES!!!!! <---Andy lives every day like it's Flunk Day <---- I represent that remark. <---don't you mean resent? <---- Confirmed!!!!! First hand source!!!!<br />
<br />
8:12 Two alums who work together in Chicago seen on campus. I think the one is engaged to a girl that still goes here? But I saw on facebook that she's not even in town. Insider info?? <-false, this means absolutely nothing. there were alums on campus last week too and one got engaged to a girl thats still here, didn't mean anything about flunk day. Plus, what creepy alum would come back just for flunk day? Grow up already. <- I know about 5 that came back thinking it was flunk day last week, they aren't creepy, they just like excuses to drink with friends that are still here. go home freshmen, you're drunk. <-- freaks. get a job. <- two are self-employed (doing well) and the other three make over $75,000/year (and they just graduated in teh last 2 years), one makes over $100,000, before you judge you should consider whether or not you'll be 1/4 of that successful when you graduate. They were able to visit because they could afford to. YOU grow up. <br />
<br />
To the person that posted the gigantic picture. Really? I mean come on. <-seconded<br />
<br />
Bethany is ACTUALLY hanging out with bff Amelia. Obviously flunk tomorrow.<br />
<br />
8:50 PM - Do shipments of food mean anything? ANYWAY, people should be out and about near the hotels by Target to see if there are any trailers and other big trucks. That is the dead give away. If you're out there, TAKE PICTURES! Be safe, little Prairie Fires.<br />
<br />
9:03 PM Velociraptor spotted in Knoxville <-- We should be concerned with UFO's bro <- and HOW exactly do you think they got here? UFOs bro. Velociraptors in UFOs. Flunk day confirmed. <br />
<br />
9:06 PM I had a dream that Arthur Pascale was wearing a fez. It MUST be flunk day.<br />
<br />
Regina telling seniors they better get their stash if they haven't yet. <<<< PLEASE GOD LET THIS BE TRUE <-- she's screwing with you. Regina will never give any clues. <--confirmed! I WAS THERE. <--- Regina lies even when she tells the truth.<br />
<br />
Regina started drinking! <-- pics or it didn't happen Boom! CONFIRMED [[{{ns:image}}:EVIDENCE.jpg]]<br />
Regina gettin drunk at BDUBS!<<<<Timestamp?? Also, this picture was obviously taken during the day<br />
<br />
Joel Estes seen drinking at the bar at Buffalo Wild Wings<br />
<br />
There's no way its Flunk Day tomorrow... Debbie Southern set up a meeting with me tomorrow, she obviously wouldn't infer to do it on Monday if it was Flunk Day.<---Who are you and why are you evil? <<<<<<< Debbie likes to play mind games when it comes to Flunk Day. IT'S A TRAP!!!!!!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piVnArp9ZE0 <--- Truth. Debbie is known to mess with people when it comes to Flunk Day<br />
<br />
I had a meeting scheduled with Heather Poppy on Flunk Day last year. It didn't happen. Meetings don't matter. <---CONFIRMED!<br />
<br />
9:26PM is anyone checking campus or the mail room? post pictures!<----go and do it yourself! Also just checked target, nothing there. Just the usual Walmart semis at Walmart. Nothing flunkspicios<br />
<br />
Vince Rug, class of 2012--works in Chicago, seen on campus. Vince allegedly was last year's Secret Flunk Day Planner, could he have insider information again this year?? <--- Vince is on campus more than most students are. <-- CONFIRMED regardless he knew last year so it would only make sense he'd know again this year. THIS COULD BE HUGE!<br />
<br />
Vince Rug and Ben Wetherbee, also class of 2012 and an Admissions Counselor at Knox, spotted at Fat Fish Pub. THIS COULD BE HUGE!<br />
<br />
9:51 p.m. Lights seen on in the Office of Communications!!!! <--- this means nothing, that office works all hours.<br />
<br />
9:54PM its not flunk day. study for your midterms. <--- What is wrong with you. <-just making sure people pass their damn midterms. worst case scenario people stay up thinking its flunk day when it obviously ISN'T then fail, just a friendly reminder to study because flunk day tomorrow isn't likely <br />
<br />
9:55PM [Lyana Sun Han] rolling around her suite in Post, she feels the Flunk in her bones! It's obviously tomorrow!<br />
<br />
Campus life has been calling suites around campus saying "to be well rested in case of any unexpected activities tomorrow", Flunk Day yes? <- if this is really happening, it's proof that it ISN'T flunk day tomorrow, they're obviously trolling. on the real flunk day eve they will be silent.<--WHATTTT this happened to us too!! IS IT FLUNK DAY OR WHAT?!!<---Why the fuck would we be silent if we knew it was flunk day tomorrow?<br />
<br />
10PM Helmut just now seen leaving the caf!! A little late?<br />
<br />
This is Civ's FB status right now<br />
<br />
'''Dance like nobody is watching. Drink like tomorrow's flunk day.'''<br />
<br />
its fucking flunk day<br />
<br />
It isn't flunk day. there is a scare planned for tomorrow morning though. don't listen to or feed the trolls. <-- 2009, a scare turned into flunk day. Last year the seniors planned scares and wanted jack to confirm. believe you asshole. '''BELIEVE''' <---CONFIRMED! 2011 also had a scare that turned into Flunk Day <--- This could be huge.<br />
<br />
10:10 p.m. Stephen Douglas impersonator spotted near Williston. THIS COULD BE HUGE!<br />
<br />
10:24 p.m. Nothing suspicious around hotels near Target. Only one large GNC semi in parking lot of Fairfield Inn.<br />
<br />
10:25 p.m. REGINA SPOTTED ENTERING THE UNION BOARD STORAGE ROOM IN SEYMOUR (IN THE HALLWAY BY THE MAILROOM STAIRCASE). SHE SMILED WHEN A STAFF MEMBER ASKED IF IT'S FLUNK DAY. <---- Confirmed!<br />
<br />
10:28 p.m. I pooped my pants. Soo...flunk day?<<--Depends, was it HUGE?<br />
<br />
I'd like to think that Regina and the other planners are smarter than to do those preparations in full sight if they were for The Day. Just saying<br />
<br />
SATURN IS SO CLOSE TO ME. FLUNK DAY MUST BE TOMORROW. <---CONFIRMED! What better time to have Space Flunk when one of the most iconic images of space is the closest to us as it can be? <br />
<br />
10:31 pm Kaitlyn spotted rushing direction Union Board office looking stressed. <---CONFIRMED! Talked to her, and she was very unwilling to respond to simple greetings <- lies shes sleeping in her room go to sleep. <---- Who sleeps at 10:30 on a Sunday night? <- normal people? go to bed. <---ABSOLUTELY NOT CONFIRMED by her roommate! She claims to be in the library but wasn't there either!!!!<br />
<br />
Two trailers spotted in the Holliday inn parking lot <-- Evidence? <- people are ALWAYS staying there, sometimes with trailers, tahts how hotels work.<br />
<br />
10:52pm campus safety spotted checking to make sure everything was locked up. not really unusual but maybe checking to ensure no one covered in mud/drunk can get into the buildings??<br />
<br />
10:53 PM Michelle Obama spotted preparing for flunk day!!<br />
[http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_maf7mdFtq81r32taso1_500.gif<br />
]<br />
<br />
11:00 pm My phone will not connect to my computer so I can upload pictures of trailers in hotel parking lots. DEFINITELY Flunk Day. <- second one of these. clearly it isn't flunk day and people are trolling. <---Trolling? What does that mean?<br />
<br />
11:05pm Not flunk day as confirmed by caf workers (real ones not the student workers) <-- How did you get in contact with a caf worker at 11:00 PM? Also, most of them don't know for sure until they are called in early to work. <---Confirmed! <- not all of us are from far away, I'm friends with two of the caf workers who live in galesburg, they're real people I texted them earlier one just responded, that's how. its not like I magically hunted them down and cornered these people i didn't know who work in the caf and made them tell me whether or not it was flunk day. it isn't flunk day. confirmed. sorry to disappoint. <-- I am aware they are "real people," but that doesn't give them magical knowledge of Flunk Day. Usually they can only gauge within a few days of the Flunk Day because they can see the food supplies, but they don't know the day until they are called in! They could be giving you their best guess, though. Sorry to disappoint. <- it isn't flunk day because they know when flunk day is already (well one does, she's coming in early to help set up), i'm just not telling you when tehy said it was to avoid getting them in trouble. flunk day is NOT tomorrow, so if you have homework PLEASE DO IT!!! it is this week though! <---BOO, YOU STINK. DON'T DO YOUR HOMEWORK. IT'S CALLED FLUNK DAY FOR A REASON!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
Not Flunk Day. Seems like this campus needs one more good scare. If not two. Social media networks explodin' real good though. <----It's Flunk Day until proven otherwise by the lack of the email in the morning. <--Confirmed!<br />
<br />
11:11 Loud music coming from Tompkins...seniors welcoming el dia de Flunk??<br />
<br />
Get in the spirit all of you negative nancy's out there. Instead of trying to find out when Flunk Day '''isn't''' help us find out when Flunk Day '''is''' <---- CONFIRMED <-- I have never encountered so many Flunk Day killjoys.<--confirmed, and you must have never experienced a flunk day to talk like that!<br />
<br />
11:30 My body is ready. <--- '''CONFIRMED''' <----DOUBLE CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
11:33 Flunk Day is not tomorrow. I also heard from a caf worker. it's wednesday, not tomorrow. i dont care about posting it unlike the other poeple becasue no one will know which caf worker anyway (assuming we heard from teh same one which i doubt) and even then its not a big deal. Flunk day is wednesday. go to sleep. <br />
<br />
Nope, in the last 3 years people keep saying the caf workers tell them. And every year they've been wrong<br />
KEEP THE FAITH YOU NONBELIEVERS <---- CONFIRMED.<br />
<br />
My mom is in town tomorrow. Karma will make it flunk day. Have faith.<br />
<br />
11:34 pm: The seniors in the corner of Tompkins are being rowdier than usual on a Sunday <== Yeah! Sundays are the only days those girls ever do any work! Something is up! <== CONFIRMED! They are chillin' right outside my door!<br />
<br />
11:37 pm: Alumni email has been sent out. Flunk if you got it. <===8 Sauce?<br />
<br />
Henry told me it was Flunk Day tomorrow. And I think he was sober when he told me so that means it has to be FLUNK DAY tomorrow!!!!!<br />
<br />
11:42 PM: HEY ALL YOU RUDE PEOPLE. IF YOU'RE HERE JUST TO BE MEAN, I HOPE YOU SLEEP THROUGH FLUNK DAY. YOU DON'T DESERVE THE FUN. I, FOR ONE, AM ALREADY DRINKING. I WILL BE READY FOR FLUNK TOMORROW. YOU WILL JUST BE SAD. SENIORS: WE NEED TO RALLY. THIS IS OUR LAST FLUNK DAY AND WE WILL NOT BE BROUGHT DOWN BY THESE DEBBY DOWNERS. '''<----CONFIRMED!!!!!!!!''' <br />
<br />
Gee almighty, 1. the caf workers DO NOT know the date 2. even if they do how do you know they're not messing with you<br />
<br />
11:48 p.m. Kaitlyn Duling spotted in the library, wearing glasses (she usually doesn't) and looking stressed. Is she trolling or is she studying???<br />
<br />
11:50 pm: Does anyone have any ideas what the main event will be for Flunk Day? I haven't heard so much as a peep about it. Last year we knew it'd be a musical guest star, but what about this year? Any insight?<br />
<br />
11:55 PM: Now Kaitlyn is in the gizmo!<br />
<br />
12:05 AM: Dushawn Darling spotted wearing a green cape and pink booty shorts. This could only mean one thing: '''FLUNK DAY IS UPON US!''' <----'''CONFIRMED!!!'''<br />
<br />
12:06 AM: My mind says no, but my body says yes. <<-- False. The gospel of R. Kelly tells the true quote; "My mind's telling me no...but my body, my body's telling me yeah." <br />
<br />
FLUNK DAY = ALL THE LOVE<br />
<br />
The Mud Pit is inadequate. Who will volunteer as tribute?!<br />
<br />
12:15 AM not flunk day, it's wednesday. too many confirmed caf worker sources to be trolling, plus they wouldn't troll they're actually my friends and know I honestly don't care if its tomorrow or not (hoping it was but its whatever). yes, they do actually know, they're staying late tuesday night to help get things together and a few are coming in early, people seem to forget that these people are hired help and they need to know their schedule ahead of time, they can't just get a random call at 3 am saying "lol go figure out a babysitter for your kid and come in immediately, its flunk day!". flunk day wednesday, so stock up! <---- That's exactly what they do to the Gizmo workers. They get a call that morning telling them they have to come in 5 hours before their shift would normally start. Most caf workers don't know the exact date. <-confirmed, my aunt is one of the caf workers, dont tell her I told you if people reading this know who I am/who she is! she made me promise not to say anything, but in case people have work, its definitely wednesday! <---[[http://trololololololololololo.com/]]<-right its not what people wanted to hear therefore i must be trolling. believe what you want im just trying to pass on ACTUAL information for once, everything on here is "omg there was a truck this one time at walmart!" or "i saw someone on union board doing their job!" or "theres a light on in this building!!". sorry for trying to help, your loss. additionally stock up because its freaking WEDNESDAY. <------------- http://i2.ytimg.com/vi/Atr8iFcc0qQ/mqdefault.jpg <------ Do you not understand what the wikifire is for? Where is your Flunk Day Spirit?!?!?! HAS ANYONE SEEN ABE LINCOLN? <---- getting butthurt at trolling and "fake" information? Do you even wikifire? MORE SPIRIT PEOPLE!! <------- I wish we could all get along like we used to in middle school. I wish I could bake a cake filled with rainbows and smiles and everyone would eat and be happy. <--- she doesn't even go here! <-------- I just have a lot of feelings...<br />
<br />
12:21 AM: Andrei not doing his homework. Probably because HE KNOWS IT'S FLUNK DAY. Or maybe he just finished his homework already. Believe what you will.<br />
<br />
12:21 AM Report: Andrei walked out of campus life office, looking nervous.------<< Confirmed!!Shit is real. it's today!!! <-this is such bullshit, im sitting here nothing is going on or has been for the past 90 minutes at least <-- Lowercase writer, as someone going into his fourth Flunk Day, I want to say that you really don't understand the Flunk Day spirit. <---- confirmed.<br />
<br />
12:31 I'm calling BS on the made of story of the aunt guy. My grandmother ACTUALLY helps out around the caf and I live with her and she is currently not here... For those who know me and who I am talking about can confirm. She's been helping out this entire weekend for day of service and other events around Knox and they've requested her services this entire week...<br />
<br />
Knoxians. Please please pleeeease get in the spirit and try to love each other!! FLUNK DAY!! <----CONFIRMED! Love is really what Flunk Day is about<br />
<br />
12:48 TROLLATIVES<br />
<br />
12:45am: I have a car and I'm really bored. I'm going flunk-huntin'. What are some ideal places or hot spots for supposed trailers, 18wheelers and flunkmobiles to be? Let me know, I will go to as many as I can, and as always, pics or it didn't happen.<br />
<br />
Not even an hour ago two of the Gentlemen of P-house were spotted at Wal-Mart picking up water supplies (I think maybe a slip and slide?). When confronted they pointed me towards the alcohol section and said, "Let the Flunk be the Guide." If that isn't a sign of Flunk, then I don't know what is!<--- I won't start drinking unless one of them was Justin Steele.<br />
<br />
'''The Rules of the Flunk''':<br><br />
1. Thou shalt forever proclaim "Tomorrow is Flunk Day" even when thou knowest it to be false<br><br />
2. Thou shalt encourage thy fellow flunkers in the excitement of the Flunk, not crusheth their dreams<br><br />
3. Thou shalt make silly and ridiculous proclamations such as "Trains were heard. Tomorrow is Flunk." on the WikiFire<br><br />
4. Thou shalt love the Flunk scares for they bring about the anticipation of the Flunk<br><br />
5. Thou shalt never give up hope for Flunk <br><br />
The breakage of any above rule results in the loss of Flunk Spirit by not only your own unfortunate soul, but by the entire campus. Be a jolly Flunker, friends. Be a jolly Flunker.<br><br><br />
<br />
THAT GUY/GAL GETS IT! The Flunk will save us all, even the non-believers!! May the Flunk be with you. <---And with you. <br><br><br />
<br />
It has been postulated that Flunk Day is but a yearly outbreak of campus-wide mass hysteria--that the Day will only Flunk when the Knox population as a whole veers sharply over the edge of sanity into the pit of madness below. Further, it has been postulated that any passerby unaffected by the Flunk Fever's influence would, upon viewing the campus from a distance, see not a jovial celebration but a savage, delirious ritual not unlike the Bacchanalia of old. <br><br />
Of course, any passerby brave or foolish enough to stare into the heart of that chaos will be inevitably drawn into it; Flunk is seductive and hypnotic and ravenous like the prairie fire its victims are named for. It rarely returns the victims it claims, and when it does they come out fundamentally changed, starved for next year's outbreak as though for air.<br><br />
The question, then, is this: what happens when the Fever does not break? What happens when a Day of Flunk no longer satisfies these poor, insane, once-human creatures? The commonly accepted theory is that the madness simply continues to swirl, gaining momentum as it spirals toward the event horizon until nothing can escape--not students, not light, not even time--compressing the campus into a point of zero mass and infinite Flunk. <br><br />
However, some fringe studies have suggested an expansion as the ultimate end. Instead of collapsing in, the fever seeps outward from the source like a toxic cloud, consuming everything in its path. <br><br />
The first option is grim to be sure, but the second poses a much deeper threat as there is no perceived end to this expansion. The fever will consume until the entire city and then the state and then the country and then, eventually, the world is trapped in an unending Flunk--in short, my friends and colleagues, this could truly be huge. <br><br><br />
<br />
<br />
1:15 AM: As of now, I have not seen any semis, flatbeds, trucks of any sort. I'm not truck expert, but I did not see shit out there. I just drove around Target and Walmart areas. Nothing out of the usual. But I'd say keep your eyes peeled around 4 or 5 AM when shit starts to emerge... It is possible that the school is having the Flunk Day equipment wait over in a nearby town such as Knoxville or Monmouth. Keep your Prairie Spirits. Love you all. <--- Like 8 semis parked in the old Econo Foods parking lot. You have to look in out of the ordinary places! <--- ''Donde estan las fotos yo?''<------Sorry, not to be a killjoy, but that happens every night. It's the one *legal* area in Galesburg for truck drivers to park for extended hours for free. Not saying there couldn't be flunk day trucks there...but there are usually at least 12-15 trucks there a night. <br />
<br />
1:22 AM: Just heard a deep maniacal laugh from outside my window. Is this a sign of the Flunk, or should I be scared? <--- Both<br />
<br />

Is the flunk finally on its way??<----I saw a cop car pull over someone near Seymour last night around 2:30am. Could the "questionable light signals" in the email be referring to sirens?

<br />
This is the official Andy Civettini prediction. <---- Check the edit log. I am Andy Civettini. I'm currently grading and prepping for lectures and discussion tomorrow. I make no prediction.

If its April 30th, its gonna make cinco de mayo the shit that sunday.<br />
<br />

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/84/Bottles_of_Canadian_Club_Whisky.JPG <- sorry freshman, THERE IS NO GENERAL "FLUNK DAY STASH", you need to get your OWN stash, there isn't one giant one you get to choose from. nice try though. now go home you're drunk (or obviously not)<br />
<br />
[[Rup Sarkar]] thinks that today might be flunk day. He knows this. It's his fourth flunk day. <- this means absolutely nothing. its a lot of peoples' fourth flunk day<<-- you know absolutely nothing, Rup knows all. <- Rup knows nothing. <br />
<br />
This is the day I want it to be flunk day. Therefore, it will be flunk day. <-- logical fallacy of self importance <- logical fallacy of showing your own importance by telling others they think they are the important ones. post modern meltdown ensues <-- all of my whats<br />
<br />

10:00 AM: Cindy Wickliff sends mysterious email about aliens and a Plant Flunk telling students to stay on high alert. Is the flunk finally on its way??<----I saw a cop car pull over someone near Seymour last night around 2:30am. Could the "questionable light signals" in the email be referring to sirens?

This afternoon: Quickie posted special hours for this week/weekend... and Goldie always knows. <-- False, those are the new hours, they are not special in any way.

<br />
10:55 PM Realize the book I am reading has no print, the pages are blank.<------8 Blindness Hysteria ensues. Clearly we won't see Flunk Day coming.<br />
<br />
10:59 PM- First years screaming out FLUNNNNNNNK DAY in the quads. Clearly Wednesday.<br />
<br />
If Tuesday and Wednesday are both not Flunk Day that would be three consecutive days of potential flunk missed, is that unprecedented? I mean three days over the course of a two week stretch maybe, but three days in a row, with good weather to boot? I fear for the safety of all those on this campus in that doomsday scenario.<---8 And now there is an official Flunk Day song? Oh boy, if this stagnates for another week we could be in trouble.<br />
<br />

That's a good enough reason.<br />
<br />
What's with the lack of substantial evidence? Check the mailroom for paper covering the windows! Scout the parking lots around town for suspicious vehicles! We need EVIDENCE before we can confirm the Flunk! <-----8SOMEONE CHECK THE CAF AND SEE IF THE LIGHTS ARE ON!<br />
<br />

<br />
12:06 Seniors are usually the ones trolling the wikifire. There has been minimal movement here in the last 40 minutes. Thus forth I deduce that they must have more important things to do: like get ready to go to the field house and/or drink. Thus forth, either the seniors are getting super messed with (awesome) or it's flunk day (awesome-er)<---- Or both (awesomest?)<br />
<br />

SUSPICIOUS??<br />
<br />

<br />
1:34 AM Confirmed on Senior FB group that there is a scare starting at Hamblin at 5:40 am.<------confirmed i have a facebook and live in hamblin.<br />
<br />
1:36 AM If flunk day is not tomorrow i'm estimating it will take about 8 months before the campus will stop complaining about it. They have gone to far, there is no other explanation than to flunk.<br />
<br />
1:46 AM: Where are all the trucks?<br />
[[File:Photo_(4).JPG]]<br />
[[File:Photo_(2).JPG]] <br />
<br />
1:49 AM: Something's going on...<br />
[[File:Photo_(3).JPG]] <br />
<br />
1:47 AM Flunk day has to be tuesday. If it's not tuesday, all surprise is lost because everyone will know it WILL, or should be wednesday. Therefore, they would not choose Wednesday as Flunk day. The chance of having it on tuesday OR wednesday provides a sort of element of surprise, because it could be either day. If flunk day is neither tuesday nor wednesday, then it would have to be next week, and again, ruining the surprise, making it obvious that it would be next week (which it's not). However, because we know that flunk day can't be wednesday (If it's not tuesday, all surprise is lost because everyone will know it WILL, or should be wednesday)then flunk day would be expected to be tuesday. And if we expect it to be tuesday, then is it really flunk day? Sorry, I'm really really high right now, is it flunk day yet?<-----That was a Princess Bride-esque thought process there, well done. It must be Flunk!<br />
<br />
1:50 AM Found this near the fieldhouse. :) [[File:THISCOULDBEHUGE.jpg]]<br />

<br />
2:19 AM: KNOX: if you are a BELIEBER like myself, or a MUD PIT ENTHUSIAST (the caps is for the enthusiasm) then we need you to get out there and HELP. Just go there and coordinate with the pitiful remains of the crew, so we can keep this going.<br />
<br />
2:40 AM: These are what we found chillin at the Holiday Inn around 1AM http://imgur.com/8XQMqC6&xZtOYD3#0<---- great you pic so it did happen, but wtf are they <------Perhaps they contain inflatables?<br />

What is "The Voice"? allowing it actually says that. The Picture is blurry as hell. <----The Voice is a newspaper based in Aurora, IL, near Naperville. <--- Its a GateHouse paper, they rotate trucks sometimes.

<br />
== May 1 ==<br />
<br />
All content deleted from this post. proof that flunk day is Wednesday??? <- it was deleted because people were using the f-word on the internetz <-NOT THE "F" WORD!?!?!<br />
<br />
THIS JUST IN: Admissions Ambassadors Monthly Meeting moved to NEXT WEDNESDAY. I know they know nothing about the day, but my suspicions are quite high...<br />
It was May 1st last year... would they repeat the date? <---- we don't expect them to repeat the date, making this the perfect day!<-------------Flunk Day's are statistically independent events from one another.<br />
<br />
Monday, 3:01 pm: An informant tells me that caf workers have been informed not to bake ahead because Wednesday is FLUNK DAY. No names so they don't get in trouble. <-- Confirmed! An individual who works in the caf also told me that Flunk Day is on Wednesday. In the past, the same worker has told my friends who have worked in the caf also, and they have always been right. Flunk Day is upon us.<br />
<br />
THEY ARE FILLING IN THE MUD PIT. <br />
I REPEAT, THEY ARE FILLING IN THE MUD PIT WITH SAND AND MULCH! <br />
WHAT THE FLUNK ARE THEY DOING?!?!?!?!?<--They do that every year. The mud pit is not sanctioned by KNOX. Of course they are going to try and stop students.<--- correct, but why would they do this now unless the Flunk is close enough where students could not reverse the damage. Which is why i think the flunk is soon. How soon? Tomorrow soon. <br />
<br />
<br />
11:28 am: Caf lady who took my card at breakfast said "no flunk day today, huh?" and gave me a coy smile. FLUNK DAY CONFIRMED FOR WEDNESDAY<br />

"WHY IS THERE NO SUB CATEGORY FOR MAY 6TH!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? SERIOUSLY NOT EVEN A CATEGORY FOR IT!?!?!?!?! Also, I have no clue how to make such a thing, can someone please do it." I wrote that yesterday and someone created a May 6th. MAY 6TH IS NOW GONE!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE HELL! NOT ONLY IS THAT DAY FLUNK DAY BUT SOMEONE IS TRYING TO LITERALLY MAKE IT NOT EXIST!<------May 6th does not exist! It will never exist. Stop Trying to make MAY 6th a thing. It will never be a thing.<br />
<br />
LET IT BE FLUNK DAY ALREADY<br />
<br />
http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/3u6js5/ <---- every first-year RA since the dawn of time!<br />
<br />
If Knox SERIOUSLY doesn't want a mud pit, then they need to stop using students covered in Flunk Day mud in their admissions/PR materials. JUST SAYIN'. Stay strong Conger/Neal! <-- very wise person said this<br />
<br />
The Admissions Ambassador meeting was originally scheduled for this day but was rescheduled for a week later.<br />
<br />
No updates for 3 1/2 hours? C'mon, Flunkers, where's the hype? <---- Rumors of seniors going to Cherry St. tonight. Senior meeting tonight because the regularly scheduled meeting tomorrow will be consumed by Flunk? <-- Senior meeting carries on with or without Flunk, it's a nice off-campus option for seniors after a day of Flunking.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow is Flunk Day. Lets build the HYPE!!!<br />
<br />
9:08 PM - Feeling flunk vibrations in the loins. Been right every year thus far. My "space needle" as they call it picks up flunk vibrations on a frequency of 501KiloKnox. Boom! Clearly, the flunk is tomorrow. <-- This really could be huge. Or really flaccid.<br />
<br />
9:16 pm - [[James Wright-Lee]] says it is "clearly" tomorrow.<br />
<br />
9:32 PM: Sam Auch has planned her flunk day outfit. Flunk day is tomorrow.<br />
<br />
9:30 PM THERE IS A GOD DAMN RIOT AND/OR OCCUPY MOVEMENT AT THE PIT <-- y'all need Jesus <-- What! What is happening exactly? <------ #OCCUPYMUDPIT2013 <-- they're all standing around the mud pit. taking out the mulch? maybe chanting? idk. and someone said giving up their IDs? to campus safety? something like that. it's a hot mess. <--- because of this unity in times of struggle the Flunk shall soon be upon us <-- Chanting confirmed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWzcCA-kFy8<br />
<br />
9:46pm Occu-Flunk Day students remove mulch from mud pit with hands because campus safety confiscated shovels<br />
<br />
10:00PM FLOOP IS A MADMAN, HELP US, SAVE US. <----CONFIRMED <---- RUP IS A MADMAN, HELP US, SAVE US. <----- DOUBLE CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
10:00PM: This was found outside of the Union Board office tonight (http://tinypic.com/r/nd5vgy/5)<-- Bull. Fucking. Shit<br />
<br />
10:17 PM Knox unites. Huge gathering at mudpit. I suggest you go check it out. It is beautiful.<br />
<br />
10:18 PM I am coming down with something. Karma dictates Flunk is tomorrow.<br />
<br />
10:24 I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE WHAT IS HAPPENING AT THE MUD PIT RIGHT NOW! GO, UNDERCLASSMEN, GO!! KEEP IT UP!! <---CONFIRMED, there is hope for the future after all!<----- http://qkme.me/3u6ojh<br />
<br />
Y'all gonna be ok if tomorrow is not Flunk Day? I'm genuinely concerned. <------ Think we have all begun to make our own flunk day.<br />
<br />
10:57 THE MUD PIT IS ON FIREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE<---Seriously? This could be bad.<br />
<br />
11:11 PM A reliable source reports, "The wheels on the bus go round and round".<br />
<br />
11:12 PM (Retrospectively). The Flunk Day Gnomes have seen fit to undermine the naysayers in the hopes of keeping Flunk Spirit alive and well. <br />
<br />
Flunk, flunk, flunk flunk. Flunky. Flunk Flunk Flunk Flunk Flunk Flunk. Flunk <----- THIS COULD BE HUGE<br />
<br />
^ I think the most important part of the article cited above was the mention of TEA CUP RIDES.<br />
<br />
11:29 PM A group of non-Knox students seen wandering around near the sorority houses. Who are they? Why are they here? <--- they are knox students, they are here because this is knox.<br />
<br />
11:55 PM Does anyone know what kind of car Kaitlyn drives? Large SUV seen leaving Hamblin parking lot driven by someone who looked eerily like Kaitlyn. <---- dunno her car, but she lives in tompkins, so that could easily have been her<br />
<br />
12:00AM Awkward salmon two way on a Unicorn. Tomorrow must be flunk day! <----- CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
12:03 AM. Does anyone know if the food has even arrived? I don't think I've seen that on here, and that's pretty crucial. Also, didn't we catch breeze of who the mystery performer was around this time last year? <---- Rick Astley spotted in the Holiday Inn parking lot! Sorry for the shaky footage, but at least I got something on my phone (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ) <--- A poorly disguised Rick Roll to say the least. I'll give it a C for effort.<br />
<br />
12:15 AM something just heard outside Tompkins about 5:30. Perhaps for friar summons? <--- although that is a known habitat for seniors, it is far to early for such shenanigans. <br />
<br />
less whining about the mud pit and more evidence! Come on people, '''THE TIME IS NIGH'''!!!<br />
<br />
I'm not saying it isn't Flunk day. But it isn't flunk day. <------ Factually false, for any true scholar of the Flunk sciences knows that Flunk day always exists tomorrow until it doesn't, but now is not tomorrow. <----CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
I've heard from student caf workers that the shipment has indeed arrived and that it is being "prepared" as we speak. <----PROOF! WE NEED PROOF! SOMEONE CHECK TO SEE IF THE LIGHTS IN THE CAF ARE ON! <--- Holy shit, they are!<----Caf workers seem like they got it all going on this year, THIS COULD BE HUGE!!! [[File:S9DSt.jpg]]<----CONFIRMED I"M A CAF STUDENT WORKER AND I"VE SEEN THE FOOD IN THE BASEMENT!!! PREPARE EL DIA DE FLUNK!<----Just saying, they could be specifically turning lights on for this. I work in the mailroom and my boss told me that she has told campus safety to turn the lights on downstairs the past couple of nights...<br />
<br />
12:30AM: Prof. Shroyer leaves SMC way too early....Flunk??<br />
<br />
12:50 AM - FULL FORCE FLUNK<br />
<br />
12:52 AM - Advice given "Excited->Flunk Day is tomorrow-> Wake up->not flunk day-> one day closer to flunk day-> excited-> Repeat as needed until Flunk Day." The cosmos would not deliver such words if Flunk Day were not tomorrow.<---CONFIRMED! <-- Truer words never spoken! Flunk Day is CLEARLY tomorrow, as all the days that so far have not been Flunk Day CLEARLY prove!<<----holy shit I'm a cosmos.<br />
<br />
1:02 AM - a tiny clown car just drove down Academy.<---CONFIRMED, Roger was driving and Teresa was packed in the backseat with Flunk Day Friars!!<---They were pursued by a hoard of velociraptors, followed by Xavier Roman riding an ostrich in the back driving the pack while smoke a bong and screaming, "FLUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNKKKKKKKKKKKK" <----UNCONFIRMED ostriches are not indigenous to western Illinois.<---They're an invasive species! Don't you know your environmental science/ecology? <--- ECOLOGY COULD BE HUGE.<---CONFIRMED IT'S EVERYWHERE<----DOUBLE CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
1:13 AM Goat spotted in Hamblin 009. Must be FLUNK DAY!!<--PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN<---feeling the flunk<--SOMEONE TELL KELSEY CULLUM<br />
<br />
1:15 AM - The Ghosts of Flunks Passed arose from the dead-ass restored praire and advised all the Flunk Day scrooges, "Get Jiggy with it." <----- Booo!<br />
<br />
1:18 AM A reliable source reports, "Old MacDonald had a farm." Flunk Day cometh.<---THIS COULD BE HUGE<---ILLINOIS IS FULL OF FARMS. IT IS A SIGN. <--- SIGNS LIKE IN THE MOVIE, SIGNS. WHICH IS ABOUT ALIENS, WHO ARE FROM *SPACE*<br />
<br />
<br />
1:20AM : Justin Steele leaves SMC to go to bed. Could it be the flunk?! O.O<br />
<br />
1:23 AM Abe Lincoln seen hurrying down South Street trying to conceal suspicious-looking bottle underneath top hat.<---He responds to "Baberaham" if you call out to him.<br />
<br />
<br />
1:26 - YOU GUYS IF ITS FLUNK DAY TOMORROW BUT IT'S AFTER MIDNIGHT DOES THAT MEAN FLUNK DAY IS TODAY TOMORROW OR TOMORROW TOMORROW? <-- Flunk Day is always tomorrow. Even on Flunk Day, Flunk Day is tomorrow.<br />
<br />
1:31 AM - "Nice Bike" heard from Sigma Nu porch. Such calls signal an impending FLUNK.<br />
<br />
ALL THE TIME I JUST FEEL LIKE THIS LITTLE CRAZY DUDE "SPAAAAACEEE" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeKMS62GrTI<br />
<br />
1:31 AM- Sleep little dumplings, let the day of flunk dance in your dreams. For tomorrow may very well be flunk. The only truth we have is the truth in our gut. Let the gospel of R. Kelly speak to you; and Kells said "My mind's telling me no...but my body, my body is telling me yeah." And thus the following morning the friars awoke the young ones, and all chaos was restored in the flunk kingdom. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAXxkNaRkp8<br />
<br />
1:41 AM- had dream of flunking on the moon. Must be Flunk Day! Also, lots of Knoxies seen at Duffy's... pre-gaming for the flunk?<br />
<br />
The moon is GORGEOUS. Just like a pre-Flunk Day moon would be...<br />
<br />
2:09 AM - Wait...Flunk Day theme is space. Flunk Day is a huge disaster. When there are disasters in space (or high altitudes) astronauts say "Mayday mayday!" Today is May 1, otherwise known as May Day, a day of MAY-rry-making! <---This could be HUGE! <--- [http://https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D67kmFzSh_o UNDENIABLE PROOF!]<br />
<br />
2:27 I'm so delirious by doing so much homework at this point it has to be Flunk Day... Right?.. RIGHT?<br />
<br />
3:00 AM - [http://weknowmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/there-it-goes-the-last-fuck-i-give.gif Its about that time...]<br />
<br />
Is there any current activity on campus??!! Anyone?! :( it's 3.41am! Where's the flunk action!?<br />
<br />
Honestly, I don't care anymore, I have been teased enough. Spring term has been hard enough as it is without a day to catch up on stuff or at least take a break from all this madness. If it isn't today I'm just going to drop out this term, my head is fried and I cant take it anymore. <----It sounds like you need more than a flunk day....:( I really hope you take the time to take care of yourself...your mental well being is more important than an essay/midterms/reading/ect. In the words of Tom Haverford and Donna Meagle, "Treat. Yo. Self!" <3 <---- can I marry you?<---Sorry, I don't believe in getting married for love...only for tax purposes. :P<br />
<br />
5:29 AM: The sun is rising...is the flunk rising with it?<br />
<br />
5:37AM: I hate everyone on union board right now. <--- Word. <---- Confirmed.<br />
<br />
5:43AM: I just heard someone leave from exec....could it have been Andrei?<br />
<br />
5:47 AM: Campus safety sitting in a gator parked next to the mud pit. Is he preparing for Flunk Day or the riots that will happen if it's not? <-----THIS SERIOUSLY COULD BE HUUUUUUGEEE!!!! <---pics or it's not happening<br />
<br />
5:50 AM: It is seriously too quite...<br />
<br />
5:50 Saw Knox photographer strolling outside I-House!!!<br />
<br />
5:52 AM: An "Ow ow!!!" cat call was heard coming in the direction from the Hamblin parking lot.<--Followed by students running past the Quickie and down Academy. <---I did hear the sound of running footsteps!!!!<br />
<br />
5:58 AM: FLUNK NOISES!!!!!<---False positive.<br />
<br />
IS THERE ANYTHING GOING ON IN THE QUADS?<br />
<br />
ITS FUCKING FLUNK DAY!!!!!<br />
<br />
== May 6 ==<br />
<br />
This is a Monday in the first full week of May. Statistically speaking, this day is lookin' good.<br />
<br />
it's [[Gabrielle Rajerison]]'s birthday!! she is just sassy enough that the planners might have listened to her assuredly convincing argument that flunk day be today.<br />
<br />
Let's keep it simple. This is Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
== May 7 ==<br />
<br />
There is a 65% chance that Flunk Day is before May 7. So sayeth the Gods of Flunk. <--- My Honors defense is May 7. My committee says I have to defend regardless of Flunk. There is only one way to deal with this possibility. <--- Be drunk all the time? <---- Click click pow click rabbit hands looking frantically around the room.<br />
<br />
[[File:Flunkkkkkkk.jpg]]<br />
<br />
FLUNK DAY IS TOMORROW (AND MAY 7TH)<br />
<br />
I do not believe these emails. I do not believe them. I HOPE THE PERSON WHO MADE THEM DIES A SLOW, PAINFUL DEATH.<-----Honestly this is pretty god damned impressive if you ask me. This could all be forged but this is one hell of an effort. (Humbled slow clapping)<---- ADMISSIONS never knows when the Flunk happens. <-- [[Alyssa Gill]] emailed [[Sarah Colangelo]] about these emails. This was her response: "FAKE. I would never provoke a discussion about local sports. It's nice work, though." In addition, [[Sam Auch]] looked up the student in question and she is a freshman at that high school. Fake fake fake. <---Props to Ms. Gill.<<<<QUEEN OF WIKIFIRE FLUNK<br />
<br />
SARAH COLANGELO LOVES FLUNK DAY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTFWmdvBbZE <----- Sarah Colangelo is a huge Troll she knows better than to let anything slip even if she did know. <br />
<br />
THERE IS NO FLUNK DAY.<br />
<br />
(Logically, though, how would someone have gotten access to Scolange's email account?) <--- Well, while it might not be full access, you can generally access at least one of someones sent messages by first emailing them. After that, you might receive a sent message from them in your inbox regarding the message you sent. I know its only one message but its something. Sometimes you can respond to the message you received and get even more messages from them too!<br />
<br />
Prospies have been on campus before during Flunk day... doubtful that admissions knows the date.<-- Confirmed, admissions never knows the date.<br />
<br />
The flunk day committee, being considerate as they are, will wait until after next pay period before throwing down the flunk. At least I hope so! I'm not prepared!<br />
<br />
== May 8 ==<br />
<br />
Date of UB music event changed to May 8th from the 11th. <---Moved due to a Knox Dems event that day<br />
<br />
[[Liz Carlin-Metz]], Professor and Smith V. Brand Endowed Chair in Theatre Arts, told her directing class that Flunk Day should be on May 8. And thus our queen has spoken, and so it shall be. <--- it's true the theatre professors wield more power than you might think <--- Not that much power. <--- no it's true it has to do with the scheduling of theatre plays and stuff. they're doing like a new play carnival they have to have the schedule so they can plan when the plays are gonna be. <--- Not confirmed. <--- no, it's true i talked to this girl who is in the New Play Carnival! <--- Liz is ruler of all and the godmother of empress Blue Ivy (as well as BFFs with her mother The Queen Bey so that they may bask in each others fabulosity and be drunk) and therefore holds all of the power. She also holds the unofficial title of the Petting Zoo Keeper at this [[New Plays Carnival]]. <--- Not true at all. Liz Carlin Metz has little power. She is just a woman who thinks way too highly of herself and lets everyone around her know it. <--- Your mom is just a woman who thinks way too highly of herself and lets everyone around her know it. She has little power––in bed! <--- Confirmed. <--- guys it's the new play festival not the new play carnival<br />
<br />
== May 9 ==<br />
<br />
JPow thinks Flunk Day is May 9. Just sayin'. <--JPow predicted that this was the Flunk Date LAST YEAR. He will prove to be incorrect again!<br />
<br />
== May 13 ==<br />
<br />
Why is this day even here?<br />
<br />
== June 8 ==<br />
<br />
Graduation Flunk Day!<br />

== '''Preparing Yourself for the Final Flunk''' ==<br />
[[File:flunkitup.jpg]] [[File:Screen shot.png]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Any good Flunk Day celebration is well-prepared. Keep these tips in mind when you work yourself up watching for suspicious food trucks and random carnival rides!<br />
<br />
1. Go buy your booze now. The worst thing that could happen is to be caught off guard with nothing to set your morning off right!<br />
<br />
2. Check the Wiki Fire often. Post the conspicuous looking shit you see around campus/town and don't be a dick.<br />
<br />
3. E-mail, bother, and/or harass the known Flunk Day planners/accomplices: Jil Gates, Deb Southern, Jack Moore, Regina Rosenbrock, Kaitlyn Duling. Watch Jack at all hours of the day. He is the Lord of the Flunk. See where he goes, write it down here!<br />
<br />
4. Dig the damn mudpit already! <--as a former Conger/Neal resident, I can tell you it will take MUCH longer and be MUCH harder than you think! Have extra shovels hidden in your rooms, because anything left in the suite can be confiscated. Lookouts are a must, have them positioned by West street, on the other side of the Center for Intercultural Life, as well as someone in Neal or Conger 3 for better long-range visibility. Dig a little bit every night because it is seriously SO FUCKING HARD to dig a hole in the ground! <--- also, if campus safety happens to catch you digging, do not run into your building still wearing your muddy shoes because they will follow your muddy footprints and find you in the basement<br />
<br />
Enlist the help of Sigma Chi. DO it.<br />
<br />
5. Don't be fooled by lawn mowing or the quality of the weather. They mow the lawn nearly every other day in the Spring and there have been many not-so-sunny days of Flunk.<br />
<br />
6. If you don't get all the Xavier and Raptor jokes, see the Flunk Day 2009 page[http://thewikifire.org/index.php?title=Flunk_Day_2009].<br />
<br />
7. Talk to new people. Share Flunk Day hints, clues, and stories. Sharing is caring, especially in the season of Flunk. <br />
<br />
8. Believe everything you see, hear, and read in this wonderful and mysterious time of year. It's all true. We promise.<br />
<br />
9. Don't be a total scrooge about the scares. It's a natural part of spring term at Knox. I mean, the seniors had to wake up even earlier than you AND run around.<br />
<br />
== '''Is it Flunk Day yet?''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
We already told you not to bother with the lawn mowers, but what SHOULD you look for in finding clues? Here are some helpful clues!<br />
<br />
'''Admissions'''<br />
Ask an admissions student worker to note days on the calendar where no visits are scheduled. These days are few and far between - and good hints.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Calendar Events'''<br />
For those who check the Events Calender daily (as all Flunk Day enthusiasts should) be sure to notice any changes that occur in the schedule from week to week. This is a tricky way to find clues, but the most committed investigators will double check other schools' sports schedules and compare them with ours, call to check dates and times, and watch for days with no events listed!<br />
<br />
Note that the calendar is not bound by the honor code; some events may be made up. Additionally, even though a sports event may be scheduled, Flunk Days have occurred when the softball team has had a game, or the golf team has had a tournament.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Helmut and the Cafeteria Staff'''<br />
Watch for him heading into or out of work at odd hours - that has set off the Flunk Day alarm in the past!<br />
<br />
Ask student employees about surprise food shipments.<br />
<br />
And if you happen to be sharing a doobie with a dining services staff member, don't be afraid to take advantage of the situation and just ask. "So, uh, do you know when it is?"<br />
<br />
'''Mailroom'''<br />
<br />
If you see lights on in the Mailroom at an unreasonable hour, it could be the big day. Find a friend who works in the Mailroom and have them keep an eye out for suspicious deliveries or pick-ups!<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Parking Lots, Community Sightings'''<br />
<br />
Get out and procrastinate on all your work by driving around for a few hours a night and check out the local scenery. Notice any large trailer trucks, or carnival rides parked in the WalMart parking lot? Post them here. Pics or GTFO. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Flunk Day Planners'''<br />
<br />
They're stone walls. If you are best friends, roommates, or just sleeping with one of them, ask questions. Pay attention to body language. Bug the shit out of them. Bring the results to your friends at the WikiFire.<br />
Known Planners: <br />
Jack Moore-tallest man on campus. senior.<br />
Regina Rosenbrock: blonde Kappa. junior.<br />
Kaitlyn Duling: Hot. Dark hair. junior.<br />
<br />
Plus one secret one!!!! Probably a senior, doesn't need to be on Union Board. <--How do we know there's a secret one if it's secret?<br />
<br />
'''Rumors and Scares'''<br />
<br />
We can just come right out and say that last year the underclassmen were assholes. Sorry, but we are NOT sorry, and if you live in Post or the Quads (or the vicinity) you ''will'' be woken up for a scare or two. Don't whine about it, we've all been scared once or twice, too. Wake up, question whether today is that magical day, do a shot or two, and go back to bed if it isn't. <br />
<br />
Believe everything. Live every day like it's Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
'''NOW GET TO HINT HUNTING YOU MOTHER FLUNKERS!!'''<br />
<br />
==Pre-Flunk Hunt 2012==<br />
<br />
Xavier was spotted at several different points this summer by several different anonymous sources. Hopping off a boxcar with several drifters, each holding one of his four-footer (or so) bongs, he was said to have torn his shirt off each time while roaring, "FLUUUUUUUNK!" <br />
<br />
Xavier is clearly behind all this unseasonably warm weather we've been having. Flunk Day will be earlier than ever this year as a result!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
The weeks of April 23-27 and April 30- May 4 are the weeks of pre-enrollment but this does not necessarily mean that flunk day will not be in those two weeks. These weeks are the most common weeks for flunk day historically.<br />
<br />
So, the theme of Flunk Day is The Final Flunk, right. Because the end of the world is supposed to happen in this year of 2012. Wouldn't it be just so clever, then, if this year marked the end of Flunk Day as well? As in, no Flunk Day? As in, the rumors that Flunk Day doesn't exist finally come true? THIS COULD BE HUGE. Also, everyone knows [[Teresa Amott]] DOESN'T LIKE FLUNK DAY! <br />
<br />
At 2:24 on March 28, J-Pow predicted Flunk Day would be May 9. That's economics. <-- Furthermore, the Art Dept. is having their once-a-term field trip to the Art Institute of Chicago. So many students will already be excused from classes. Would this not be perfect timing?<br />
<br />
Cody Dailey is currently finalizing his Flunk Day prediction. This could be HUGE. This actually means next to nothing at all.<br />
<br />
Where is the "official email" for Flunk season? --An email regarding "policies and rules" was sent out on April 18 last year.<br />
<br />
At 11:53 on April 4, the official Flunk Day email is sent out. Obviously Flunk Day is TOMORROW! --> It was a particularly classy Flunk Day e-mail and included pictures and bullet points. Maybe they think if they illustrate Flunk Day they can convince us it already happened? <br />
-----> early flunk day email + summer in march = EARLIEST FLUNK DAY IN HISTORY. <br />
<br />
READ THIS: Admitted Student Days are April 13 and April 20. Flunk day fucks up campus and thus will not happen before all of the precious prospies come to visit. <br />
<br />
Any clue who the planners are this year? <--- Jack Moore, Regina Rosenbrock, Kaitlyn Duling, and a SUPER SECRET FLUNK DAY PLANNER! FIND OUT WHO IT IS!!!! <--Totally and completely false<br />
<br />
NOTE: CAF WORKERS SAID THAT FLUNK DAY FOOD PREPARATION IS ON THERE APRIL CALENDAR!!!<br />
<br />
==April 5th ==<br />
<br />
Flunk day shirts are here. Union Board is selling them AFTER Flunk Day because Flunk Day is tomorrow!<br />
<br />
Jack Moore seen being really tall <---THIS COULD BE HUGE! <---Rumor: Jack Moore is "huge." <---MMhmm. CONFIRMED. <br />
<br />
Debbie Southern heard chatting with Jil Gates before Flunk Day email was sent out about how it would "catch them off guard."<br />
<br />
Spotted: JPow walking across the gizmo patio saying how he's "ready for flunk day".<br />
<br />
It isn't even April 5th yet guys... <---FLUNK DAY HAS NO BOUNDARIES, rookie mistake. Wait, so you can see into the future?<br />
<br />
Today is Wednesday, but it's almost over, which means it's almost Thursday. Therefore, it's almost Friday. So Flunk Day will be tomorrow.<br />
<br />
looks like he's taking a break from hunting vampires... ABE IS IN THE HOUSE!!! <--- This could be HUGE!! can someone confirm?! <---I have visual confirmation!! <--- Pics or it didn't happen.<br />
<br />
== April 6th == <br />
Students saw a clown in a car, driving through Illinois. Obviously, Flunk Day is tomorrow.<br />
<br />
== April 8th ==<br />
11:54pm seniors are seen leaving Hamblin, exclaiming "we need to get our stash PRONTO!"<br />
<br />
== April 9th ==<br />
Two people seen digging in the mud pitt!!! Somebody please confirm this!!! <---CONFIRMED. Ladies and gents, start your flunk engines. VROOM VROOM<br />
<br />
== April 10th == <br />
There's a baseball game on the schedule for 6:30 PM. Our field doesn't have lights. Interesting.<br />
<br />
The game is at Galesburg High School, they have lights CONFIRMED.<br />
<br />
All this talk of people digging the mud pit is false. Get on that, quads.<br />
<br />
Planners seen entering Old Main and exiting one hour later...Flunk?! <----you waited them out?<br />
<br />
Just heard Regina and Kaitlyn planning a booze run- flunky flunk tomorrow, definitely. <--False. Junior planners can't drink on Flunk Day<br />
<br />
7:56 PM -- Helmut was hanging around the caf a little late tonight...just spotted him leaving!<br />
<br />
Rumors are running around that tomorrow could be the big day...could it be? A flunk day this early? Remember, the Safety e-mail hasn't gone out yet. But you'd <br />
better get your stashes ready...<br />
<br />
<br />
COME ON CONGER/NEAL! GET GOING ON THAT MUDPIT!<br />
<br />
Helmut is back on campus!!! The Mudpit has to happen! <-- 8:55 p.m. <---pics or it didn't happen<br />
<br />

<br />
This is the second day of the Almost There Fair, which all graduating seniors must attend to get their cap and gown, etc. Thus Flunk Day would not be on this day because that would mess up graduation for a good number of students, who were planning to go buy their stuff on the 11th. No Flunk Day. <---Why not reschedule? An early Flunk is a good flunk. <--- When picking up my gown the guy next to Kathleen Drake complained about what a hassle it is that Knox can't commit to their original schedule and now he has to change his.... FLUNK DAY IS TODAY!<br />

<br />
[[http://i1271.photobucket.com/albums/jj639/flunkfox/Screenshot2012-04-11at20152AM.png]] <--- when is jil gates awake at 2am? NEVER. IT'S FLUNK DAY.<br />
<br />
2:10 AM Sketchy car hovering outside seymour dock and then circling campus. Also, gizmo/caf workers leaving kitchen. Closing up gizmo, or prepping for Flunk day?<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />
9:45 AM - Trucks innocently delivering food to Cafe; however, food today sucked. Anaylsis : Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
== April 13th ==<br />
Could the flunkopalypse be coming on Friday the 13th?!?! Prospies are supposed to be here but it could just be the most bad ass open house of all time. They won't Flunk on a Friday <br />
<br />
Student workers in admissions have reportedly still not received their work schedules for the open house today. Could admissions be in on the hoax? <-- Tour guides still don't have their schedules for Friday. Is this normal?<br />
<br />
The 13th and the 20th are listed as admitted students days, but the calendar is suspicious. If you click on the 13th, it sends you to a page to "register" to come to campus, but only has the 20th listed as an option. (http://www.knox.edu/prebuilt/forms/admittedstudentdays2.asp) Conversely, on the 20th, there is nothing indicating you have to register. They haven't had Flunk Day on Friday before, but maybe Friday the 13th is too good to pass up? <-- False. Flunk Day HAS been on a Friday before. Friday the 13th Flunkpocalypse...Could it get any better than that?<br />
<br />
^There is most certainly an admitted students day on the 13th. I have a friend from home who is checking out Knox that day. No way would the campus be Flunked up for parents of admitted students.<br />
<br />
== April 15th ==<br />
<br />
Holy crap! Suspicious caf activity! Helmut is there cooking and none of the students were allowed to do food preparation! <---Can we get confirmation of Helmut's car on campus? <- Fishy caf activity confirmed, cannot confirm on Helmut's car.<br />
<br />
Helmut or no Helmut, the Paul Greenberg "Four Fish" lecture is tomorrow. Seems like way too big of name and event to coincide with Flunk Day...? <--- My professor was pretty pissed that they don't even know when Flunk Day is and that they had to "submit" dates back in winter term to "not hold Flunk day"... I am guessing Greenberg wasn't finalized by then... OR is this a cover up event.. I heard they did those before! <---Dear freshman, you are correct, but this is Paul Greenberg. The amount of work put in to get him here was astronomical. Flunk Day is tomorrow...but it is not tomorrow. <-- Ever heard of misdirection? Paul Greenberg will be here Wednesday.<br />
<br />
Spotted: Kaitlyn and Regina scurrying towards campus <- Confirmed! away from Tompkins, where Jil Gates AND Jack live. Flunk day tomorrow????<br />
<br />
Can we get an update on the mud pit??<br />
<br />
I don't think Greenberg is really coming to campus- Jil Gates and Cindy could not give details of his talk meaning they never saw a contract- every club leader knows those 2 review every contract on campus. Flunk Day is tomorrow!!!!<br />
<br />
http://www.fourfish.org/speaking.html <--- He doesn't have another speaking event for a week. He could easily be rescheduled for Tuesday or Wednesday and stay in a hotel until then. <--- why is the time on the website still TBD?? It's tomorrow, shouldn't that be specified? <-------It says 5pm on Knox's events calendar. <-- They never put false information on the events calendar.<---You're a freshman<br />
<br />
Lights on in the caf! Flunk Day is tomorrow! <--- can you confirm? this could be HUGE <-- PICTURES?? <---- PICTURES OR GTFO. <--see the Flunk Day twitter. Pics are up, but I would like to note that the caf's lights are never ALL the way out. They always keep a few on. So this may NOT be huge. <-- Are these the lights that are normally on, though? <-- don't you think this is a fairly valid prank for the planners to pull on us? <br />
<br />
Saw Jil Gates get out of a car, grab something fairly large from the driver's window and race into her apartment. Flunk day is tomorrow.<br />
<br />

On Monday afternoon, the Chicago Knox Club sent an invite to alumni for "Flunk Day -- Whenever that is! 4:00 to 8:00 p.m." at Moonshine in Wicker Park. "Whenever" must be thinly-veiled code for tomorrow.<br />
<br />
Sue Hulett sent out a Flunk Day contingency email to at least one of her classes this afternoon. <----screen shot or it didn't happen <--- here's the text, in Sue's signature haphazard style and random capitalization: <br />
<br />
"IF FLUNK Day is Tuesday the 17th-- THEN Quiz on Thursday the 19th and whole schedule moves down one day.<br />
<br />
IF FLUNK DAY IS MONDAY the 16th be ready for QUIZ on Tuesday the 17th -- Class will start at 11am & I will lecture for 50 minutes and then give you the quiz.<br />

<br />

<br />
Kaitlyn and Regina seen at Walmart stocking up on supplies for the big day. Flunk is upon us. <-- Junior planners can't drink on Flunk Day. They have to drive the gators and be sober. They're messing with us.<--- CONFIRMED. They're flunking with us. <---Who says the supplies were alcohol? You can't see what they're buying in the picture. Maybe it's other stuff for the flunk <-- the picture circulating is for sure from the alcohol aisle in walmart<-- no it's not, you can see flowers in a cooler which means it's the front aisle by the produce. BOOM. <-- Produce is essential for Flunk Day. <br />
<br />
7:01 PM - the Knox-Monmouth baseball game was rescheduled from Saturday to the 17th, but the 17th is Scots Day at Monmouth - their version of Flunk Day! Would they really agree to schedule a baseball game on the day of their own spring carnival?<----the game is not on their schedule. The schedule states they will play at Knox on the 21st <--- CONFIRMED! Monmouth has no games scheduled tomorrow!<--- The Monmouth game is a rescheduled game from the previous weekend. If people paid attention to the sports teams, maybe they would know this shit<----CONFIRMED, care more people...Also, it is encouraged to treat tomorrow as flunk day and come drunkenly support your student athletes --Monmouth is still scheduled to play tomorrow. <---CONFIRMED <-- They are playing even though it is their carnival? Seems fishy.<---It's a conference game, it needs to be played and weekends are booked. <-- it would have been scheduled after Flunk Day was finalized, so it may just conflict. <---Monmouth player has confirmed that in fact they are being forced to play on Scots Day.<--- I think we can all agree that baseball/softball means nothing to the campus excepting relevant parents and teammates; Meaning, el dia de flunk could be tomorrow.<--- Confirmed!<br />
<br />

Everybody, get your shit together. When posting on the WikiFire about a day being Flunk Day, you post in the section devoted to that day. All of this should be under April 17th. Stop being idiots. Even my freshman friend understood this. We go to Knox. Use your brain. <-- It doesn't make sense to post things happening at 5PM on the 16th under the 17th. Students at Knox should be able to figure out how to scroll up. <-- dunno, people are posting in both and im confused <----MASS HYSTERIA!? apocolyptic zoombie brain? ARE YOU ALREADY DRUNK?<br />

Very suspicious. <--- CONFIRMED!!! 1:51 AM - same here! my roommate is a senior.. not back in the room, he abruptly left earlier.<br />
<br />
2:00 AM Jonothan Bass is going to Mcdonald's < ---- CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
Here's some conspiracy for you all. The date -> 4/17/12 -> 4+17=21 -> 21/12 -> 12/21 is the day the world is supposed to end. Think about it.<br />
<br />
2:30 AM Tomorrow is flunk day, therefore today cannot be the big day.<br />
<br />
2:40 AM WHERE ARE THE SENIORS PEOPLE <---- planning a scare <---- CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
3:41 AM any activity around mailroom or caf?<br />
<br />
6:03 AM: Girls with pans outside Williston! But no email yet, and there probably won't be. Still pretty great.<br />
<br />
6:10 AM: FLUNK DAY'S TOMORROW!<br />
<br />
MOST LEGIT SCARE EVER. Good job guys. I was checkin my email. <-- CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
6:30 AM: Drum circle of seniors in the quads. Poor guys, I think they thought it was Flunk Day ;)<br />
<br />
I hope that scare knocked some sense in to Conger-Neal. GROW SOME BALLS AND WORK ON THE DAMN MUDPIT TONIGHT! Sincerely, a concerned senior. <--- CONFIRMED. Some scarers made sure to throw what mud was there at Conger-Neal. Make it happen!<br />
<br />
==April 18th ==<br />
<br />
Jillian Staley is a LIAR! The most IMPORTANT AND FUN thing Conger-Neal residents can do in the season leading up to Flunk Day is to dig the mudpit! You wanted to live there. Take responsibility for your actions!!<br />
<br />
The Flunk Day food shipment is supposedly scheduled to arrive on Monday, which would give Wednesday a high probability of being el dia de flunk.<br />
<br />
Today is most definitely Flunk Day. A townie walking their dog said they heard word of it. Monmouth's (not as good) equivalent of flunk day was the 17th. Think about it. <--CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
Maintenance is going HAM on the lawn care. Today's gotta be the day<br />
<br />
Confirmed, the food shipment arrived in Tuesday April 17th. Today is still a possibility <-- Who is confirming this? How do you know it is food for Flunk?<---I will not reveal her/his name but they are a distinguished member of the caf staff. <--- If this is actually true, it's sort of ironic that while we were doing the scare this morning, the Flunk Day feast was being delivered. Too bad no one interrogated the truck driver.<br />
<br />
The wiki has gone silent. Exactly what the planners want. <--- I was just on my way over to start some things..<br />
<br />
Tomorrow does seem pretty unlikely, but perhaps we just aren't digging deep enough for clues! Start hunting y'all!<br />
<br />
Campus safety was definitely out patrolling A LOT today... preparations for tomorrow?<---Not only is Campus Safety out but the baseball team swept Monmouth today, tomorrow must be Flunk<---campus safety circled the mudpit in their mules a few time today <--- RIGHT BECAUSE NOTHING SCREAMS 'IT'S FLUNK DAY' LIKE CAMPUS SAFETY DRIVING IN CIRCLES <--- CONFIRMED.<br />
<br />
Shut the front door, we beat Monmouth at a sport? IT'S THE APOCALYPSE TOMORROW IS FLUNK DAY BEGIN DRINKING NOW! <---Confirmed, they will lose two more times this weekend also<br />
<br />
Call Me Maybe = Best Flunk Day Song Ever <---CONFIRMED, maybe Carley Rae Jepsen will be the performer? <- no, but STILL a better love story than twilight. <--CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
9:03 PM Caf workers seen leaving the caf via the loading dock, isn't that a bit later than they usually leave? <--- No, the last shift ends at 9. <- OMG LOL CAF WORKERS DOING WHAT THEY NORMALLY DO. MUST BE FLUNK DAY. <br />
<br />
9:30 PM A flock of velociraptors is seen circling the campus. <-- VELOCIRAPTORS ARE RELATED TO CHICKENS. ENOUGH SAID. <br />
<br />
9:55 PM ADMITTED STUDENTS DAY IS A LIE! <-- Proof? <-- it isn't a lie, there is an admitted students day. the cake, however, IS a lie. <br />
<br />
ATTN EVERYONE: Wednesday, April 18, is Conan O'Brien's birthday. IT MUST BE FLUNK DAY. TEAM COCO 4 FLUNK! <-- Flunk yeah!<br />
<br />
10:48 PM I just saw Xavier outside of Old Main with a 4-foot bong!! It's tomorrow! <---Confirmed, this could be huge.<br />
<br />
11:25 PM unlikely to have flunk day tomorrow, too many community service activities going on... <-- FALSE. Flunk Day IS community service! <--proof? <br />
<br />
12:10AM Jack Moore seen driving his car and dropping off Vincent Rug at his house near the quads! Vincent Rug= SECRET FLUNK DAY PLANNER!= Jack and Vince working of potential Flunk for TOMORROW. . . Or near FUTURE <-hopefully not tomorrow, it's supposed to be ~50-55 degrees and thunderstorm all day. bawk bawk. <br />
<br />
12:19 AM Heard some strange noises from Seymour loading dock. <-THIS ISN'T UNUSUAL. <-BETA <-- CONFIRMED, NOISES WERE FROM BETAS<br />
<br />
12:58 AM Beta? noises continue. that or velociraptors. maybe both. I really don't want to know at this point. hopefully they don't see their shadow or there'll be 4 more weeks of flunk day waiting!<br />
<br />
4:20 am campus safety taking a nap in founders! must be resting up so he can get his flunk on in a couple hours?<br />
<br />
== April 19th ==<br />
<br />
ZERO EVENTS ON THE CALENDAR: [http://imgur.com/lteL6] <--- False: That is the performance of an Honors Project as well as the middle of Greek Week. <--- easiest Greek Week event ever!!!! It MUST be Flunk Day!!!<---It doesn't matter when Greek Week is, Flunk day has no limitations! Flunk Day is April 19th<---This could be HUGE!<---That's what she said. <- CONFIRMED. SHE DID IN FACT SAY THAT. <br />
<br />
20th is admitted student day -- Amott won't want a Flunked up campus for Friday. <----- Campus is pretty good at cleaning up. Other than the mudpit [which is permanently scarred into the quads. That is, IF IT GETS BUILT], there are few remnants of Flunk Day the day after flunk. <-- broken beer bottles, mud everywhere, hungover students, garbage, messed up lawn, vomit, broken walls/windows/toilets, etc... sooo easy to clean up @_@. your logic is not at all sound. <- CONFIRMED. LOGIC NOT SOUND. NO FLUNK DAY UNTIL AFTER ADMITTED STUDENTS DAY<br />
<br />
Jil Gates was reportedly off campus, all day on Tuesday, April 17th. Could she be meeting with Flunk Day services? Be prepared to Flunk!!<br />
<br />
2:30 PM Regina and Kaitlyn spotted in te campus life office. <-maybe because it's their job. derp. ex: OMG LOLZ CAMPUS SAFETY SPOTTED AT CAMPUS SAFETY!!!!! WHATEVER SHALL WE DO??!?? <br />
<br />
5:03 PM: Jil Gates and Kaitlyn were in the Campus Life office with the main office closed- secret Flunk plans in the works.... FLUNK DAY IS TOMORROW!!! <- FALSE. <br />
<br />
8:33 PM: Kaitlyn has a meeting at 9. FLUNK DAY IS TOMORROW. (Or possibly Monday?) <- CONFIRMED, FLUNK DAY IS MONDAY. Or maybe tomorrow... a prospie last week said they thought about coming to the admitted students day on Friday, so I'm pretty sure there legitimately is one. In that case it definitely WON'T be the 19th or 20th<br />
<br />
I work in the kitchen and one of the freezers I usually get food out of was locked today. This freezer is never locked! IT'S FLUNCK DAY FOOD! <- the fact that it's in the *freezer* supports the argument that "flunck" day is next Monday.<br />
<br />
Maintenance worker said he was looking forward to his "F-word" holiday either Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday of next week. It's happening.<br />
<br />
Liz Oatney seen on the Gizmo patio....MUST be flunk day on Monday.<br />
<br />
== April 20th ==<br />
Email sent at 6.21 this morning:<br />
"MYTH: The Final Flunk cannot happen on a Friday<br />
<br />
FACT: The Final Flunk can happen at any time on any day; yet those who predict the final flunk are all in agreement that it has to be a weekday."<br />
<br />
Is Jill Gates trying to throw us off!?! By so obviously hinting that it will be a Friday, will students assume that it is too clear to actually be a Friday? And therefore, making a Friday Final Flunk Extravaganza a MEGA SURPRISE?!<br />
<br />
This also could apply to April 27th.<br />
<br />
This is an admitted students day. There is no way Flunk Day will be today or Thursday. <--- It would be kind of funny for the admitted students to see campus all FLUNKed up, don't you think? Poor tourguides. "On our right you see students vomiting in the mudpit...."<br />
<br />
It's a good thing Flunk Day wasn't today. People would have died.<br />
<br />
== April 23rd ==<br />
<br />
Get your specs on youngins cuz Flunk Day’s a comin! We’ve survived both Admitted Student Days and now it’s time to gear up for el Dia de Flunk. All signs point to THIS WEEK being optimal Flunk territory: we’ve kicked out the prospies and next week is right before Teresa Amott’s big day (don’t wanna flunk up campus right before all the alums get here). SO! It’s time to start seriously scouting for FLUNK DAY CLUES:<br />
<br />
Any suspicious activity around campus, and I mean any! Nothing is too innocuous to avoid notice and the immediate update of the WikiFire.<br />
<br />
Are the seniors acting weird? Keep an eye on those guys; they’ll try to throw you for a loop!<br />
<br />
What’s happening around Seymour Union? Lights on at odd hours, movement in the mailroom, strange comings and goings? REPORT ALL TO THE WIKIFIRE!<br />
<br />
If you have a car, take it for a spin during the wee hours of the morning. A big indicator this year will be the “mystery performance” of incalculable size. The bigger the show, the harder it is to hide! Look signs of impending ROCK.<br />
<br />
FINALLY, never take your eyes of those illustrious Flunk Day Planners! They know all…and they may let something slip. Be vigilant and may the odds be ever in your favor!<br />
<br />
<br />
I work in the kitchen, and my supervisor told me that Flunk Day was going to be this week! <- CONFIRMED <- FLUNK DAY IS MONDAY<br />
<br />
definitely flunk day.<br />
<br />
FLUNK ALL THE THINGS!!!! <-- CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
John Spittell moved a midterm from this week to next week... granted it was supposed to take place on Friday, but still. He KNOWS flunk day will be this week, and Monday is the most probable day for the flunkage. <-CONFIRMED. DEFINITELY FLUNK DAY. <--- Our greek midterm was moved back to the end of the week when it was supposed to be tomorrow too. Our professor told us it was specifically because the huge probability for flunk day being in the next day or two.<br />
<br />

Jack Moore and Regina are both in Chicago this weekend on "personal" vacations. Very suspicious <-- not really, because they're both from Chicago. #idiot<---S my D. Freshmen<-- confirmed that Jack went home, but Regina is cozy in her suite. <--Definitely Flunk Day tomorrow. Last year the planners went "out of town" right before flunk day. <--CONFIRMED!<br />
<br />
Flunk day probably won't be on a Monday- it has been on a Monday for the past two years.<-- THEY'RE STATISTICALLY INDEPENDENT!<br />
<br />
Last year, Flunk Day was the Monday after Senate Finance Committee did next year's club budgets all weekend. Finance Committee is doing budgets this weekend. Flunk?<br />
<br />
Conger/Neal you NEED to dig the mudpit tonight. No excuses. That includes you Abe Eastman. <--- mudpit is dug? <-- have everyone in your suite donate a few bucks and go to Walmart and buy a few bags of topsoil. THIS IS ESSENTIAL. The mudpit will not be successful unless there is extra "mud" added to it. <--- enlist the help of Sigma Chi! They are SUPER helpful. <--- Actually, just enlist the help of Joe Rogers. The rest of them are lazy fucks. <--- CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
According to a trusted source (a professor), Flunk day will be either today or tomorrow. <---Professors are always a trustworthy source of flunk day information <--- Not. <---Professors don't know when flunk day is...except for Jon Wagner, the secret is hidden behind his impenetrable eyelids.<br />
<br />
I work at the Gizmo and Linda thinks it might be Monday! <-- CONFIRMED! Linda knows EVERYTHING <-- DOUBLE CONFIRMED!<br />
<br />
Kaitlyn is at Red Robin drinking margaritas. Flunk Day must be Monday!!!<br />

<br />
P.S. We know the mudpit is the only good part about flunk day.<br />
<br />
Where are the planners?! Jack? Regina? Kaitlyn? updates people, updates. --> Regina seen walking to the Kappa house at approx. 9 pm<br />
<br />
absolutely ZERO events on the calendar... el dia de flunk? <-- There are 0 events for the next 3 days. Can't rule out Tuesday and Wednesday for this piece of evidence.<br />
<br />
Vince Rug seen filling up water balloons in his kitchen.<--Confirmed.<--He is also a suspected secret flunk day planner.<br />
<br />
Gizmo workers were overheard saying that the Flunk Day food shipment hasn't even arrived yet. <---false. Multiple sources have confirmed the presence of the nutritious flunk day food<br />
<br />
This entire section of the page just vanished from the Wiki Fire for five minutes. Perhaps the planners trying to cover something up? THIS COULD BE HUGE. <----- CONFIRMED!! suspicious for sure<br />
<br />
NOW THERE ARE TWO! <---- CONFIRMED!!! That's double the chances! <-- flunk day is on april 23 for sure <- THIS COULD BE HUGE<---Now there are 23 copies of "April 23rd"...FLUNK DAY!!!!<br />

<br />
ASHLEY IS HOSTING A PROSPECTIVE STUDENT TONIGHT IN THE ADMISSION'S SUITE......SORRY BUT IT CANNOT BE FLUNK DAY! <---Actually prospective students have been here on past flunk days. THE FLUNK IS STILL ON!!!!<----well that would sure suck for the admission's host.....<--Yeah can anyone confirm if this has happened before?<<<<< Ashley and all others hosting prospies were sent an email and text to bring their prospies to the admissions office before "engaging" in FLUNK activities. THIS COULD BE HUGE<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<CONFIRMED<---- Proof? Pics or it didn't happen<br />

There are 3 students for Monday, 1 for Tuesday, and 8 for Wednesday. <-- I guess admitted students are going to see inebriated college students, then. <--- FALSE. There are NO ADMITTED STUDENTS LEFT. <-- There are visitors almost every day of the week year-round, whether they are admitted students coming back to audition or meet with professors, or high school juniors getting ahead on their college search. <-- IT IS THE FINAL FLUNK. NO ONE WILL BE LEFT. <---- SO WISEEEEEE<br />
<br />

At 10:59 pm Gregg Lewis sent an email to his voice student saying he was moving studio class tomorrow to friday. He said he would only move the class for FLUNK DAY. <-- And for the mandatory rehearsals for his out-of-town gig.

<br />
11:45 pm: Just checked all the campus parking lots (and I mean ALL OF THE PARKINGZ) and there was no sign of Helmut's convertible. <----two years ago he was dropped off and his car was not on campus <--- I searched also. I suspect he was dropped off.<br />

<br />
1:57am-Rumor is the friar emails just went out!! Can someone confirm this? <---Server is up, but emails are probably a hoax. THIS COULD BE HUGE.<br />
<br />
1:59 am: Silly Bands are on all of Seymour 3A's doors IT IS FUCKING FLUNK DAY<--What's a silly band and what does this mean??? <<-- Pictures, man, PICTURES! We crave sensible evidence! <----- [[File:Photo_on_2012-04-23_at_02.14.jpg]] ON ALL OF 3A's door knobs but not 3B WHYYYY???<br />

3:12 AM- Javier and Teresa were spotted by the train tracks hitting Javier's four-footer. THIS COULD BE HUGE.<br />
<br />
4:36 AM: Everyone has gone to sleep, seemingly giving up speculating about a monday flunkpocalypse. I am left alone, cold, and procrastinating to hold out against all odds. This could be huge. <-------- You're never alone in the hunt for the Flunk.<br />
<br />

== April 24th ==<br />
Everything disappeared because the final flunk is April 23rd, there is no April 24th. The world will end after the final flunk!!! So line up the shots, break into your stash, jump in the mud pit and flunking have a flunking fun flunk day!!!<br />
<br />
No promise that the 23rd is flunk day but if it isn't we will have to wait until at least Wednesday as there are home softball games on Tuesday. Confirmation on opponents schedule: http://www.mac.edu/athletics/softball/scores.asp <-- Athletic events can be fake. And even if this one isn't, Flunk Day has flunked up athletic events in the past. <--- Flunk Day has occurred on days where there have been away sporting events, not any home ones though. And this ISN'T fake. That was the point in showing the opponents schedule, MacMurray would not put it on their website if it were not actually going to occur. <-- Unless they don't know it's not going to occur...<-- Why isn't MacMurray softball on the Knox events calendar? Suspicious...<br />
<br />
Zumba is cancelled! <br />
<br />
Forrest thinks Flunk Day is today. Forrest always knows. <-- Hippie Forrest? He thought yesterday was flunk day.<br />
<br />
9:20am DINING SERVICES RECEIVING FOOD SHIPMENT RIGHT NOW. <-- I thought they already received the Flunk food? <---- the caf gets a food shipment every weekday. irrelevant<br />
<br />
9:30am What do the Flunk Day shirts look like this year? <--- Sad and grey, like the fact that they didn't do student-designed shirts again. <-- Have you seen the 2010 shirts? Horrible! <--- Sad? who are you kidding- in four years this is the ONLY shirt I WANT to buy and have bought! and it is not typical for a student-designed contest... last year was the only hear I heard of it.<br />
<br />
10:07am Dean Breitborde cancels Tuesday's Curriculum Committee meeting, very rare. <-- http://i40.tinypic.com/2yyo9xk.png <--re-post with the to and from, the image looks sketchy. < -- first of all, go fuck yourself. Sketchy? incorrect: http://i40.tinypic.com/15yewdx.jpg Some people are great flunktectives, you aren't. <---Looks damn credible. The Final Flunk is upon us. <br />
Didn't Larry clear his whole schedule for flunk day last year??? This could be important... anyone have a meeting cancelled with him later in the day??<br />
<br />
12:20pm Grab n Go staff worker says we'll be anticipating Flunk Day for a couple of weeks yet. Trying to throw us off the scent?<--Who, Marla? She's totally flunking with you.<-- No I heard that Helmut hinted to her that it won't be in April. But he could be lying. <br />
<br />
Tuesday (this day) is the Bradley Girl Talk trip. Buses have been reserved. Students have paid for tix. doesn't bode well for flunkage.<---Could be a hoax to throw people off. Not much advertising for this event. The buses could be used for friars... <-- does flunk day have an official end time? If students are not supposed to leave for girl talk until after dinner, they could just have a really long day. <-- Flunk Day is from 6:30am to 11:00pm. Technically. <-- I have staunchly believed that this Girl Talk excursion has been fake since the day we received that email. Yes, students paid for tickets...but that money can easily be refunded. They only sold tickets for two days, from 5:30-7:30. Usually when Union Board tables they at least try to do some lunch hours. The whole thing seems sketchy as flunk...and since it's a Union Board activity, they can EASILY cancel it. And I'm pretty sure that people wouldn't be upset about missing out on this in order to celebrate Flunk Day. < -- It is also really weird that the trip is not on Union Board's facebook events page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Knox-College-Union-Board/233752620674?sk=events <br />
**It is a known fact that Jil Gates is friends with the Bradley director-- The concert is a cover up as the receptionist for Bradley had no idea that Knox was coming to the concert!!! --- PROOF?? This could be huge. <-- Tickets to the Girl Talk concert are sold to the public through Ticketmaster, so of course the receptionist had no idea what you were talking about. <-- If they were sold through Ticketmaster, it is possible that they were never purchased at all. <br />
<br />
74 Degrees and party cloudy. Sounds like some good flunking weather.<br />
<br />
Regina sent out the work schedule for Flunk Day. Proof that it could be reallllllly soon! <-- THIS COULD BE HUGE!!<br />
<br />
Received a text from a friend and Flunk observer in DeKalb at NIU: "I just saw a truck pulling some carnival equipment and I think it is going to Galesburg for The Final Flunk. Nevermind if it was going the wrong way, it's probably to confuse everyone." THIS COULD BE HUGE. <-- Ha.<br />
<br />
4:53pm: Saw Jil Gates walking from downtown area. Dressed in Grey and Black- looked sketchy... must have been on a FLUNK DAY mission... what else brings her out of her office before 6pm! Last minute errands for FLUNK DAY!!!!<br />
<br />
Lance Factor cancelled wednesday's Environmental Ethics course because he knows we'll all be too hungover to come to class.<br />
Monica Berlin also cancelled her evening class tomorrow for a mysterious play that her son is in at school that she knew nothing about, except that the theme is "Individuality." Strange how so many professors are cancelling classes...<-- also Monica never cancels class...and what kind of parent doesn't know anything about their son's play? And wouldn't she have known for a while and could have told her class earlier in the term? <---what kind of play is on a Tuesday night? <---Gabe Raley emailed ANSO 103 to lighten the work load...MORE TIME 2 FLUNK.<br />
<br />
Sketchy things observed by seniors during the scare this morning: <br/> (Also, These are true. These things happened. I would not shit you. But whether or not they predict Flunk Day as tomorrow remains to be seen.) <br/><br />
1. Craig Southern was in his office at 5:50am...not quite normal, right? Regardless of if lottery numbers are stressing him out, why would he show up to work two hours early? Answer: getting extra work done because he knows that Tuesday is Flunk Day. <br/> <br />
2. As we ran by the first-year side of Post and continued back towards Hamblin/Exec, a custodial worker yelled at us "You guys have the wrong day! It's tomorrow!" <br/><br />
3. Jack Moore was absent, yet he participated in the previous Epic Scare. According to several sources, he got 12 hours of sleep last night, from 10pm to 10am. Why? Preparation for Flunk of course! <-----------Or, he does this every night, because he is a huge blower lame. <----nah, he's just HUGE. <br />
<br />
10:17 PM Just spotted Xavier at America's Best Value with a four foot bong!!!!! <----confirmed!! THIS COULD BE HUGE! <--- QUADRUPLE CONFIRMED...ONCE FOR EACH FOOT OF HIS BONG!<br />
<br />
it's too calm here <--probably because everyone was so disappointed this morning that no one wants to get their hopes up. also it's only 10:34<br />
<br />
HAM! for flunk day! <---- and SNACKS!! <-- ???<br />
<br />
11:16 PM C'mon people, is no one else here? Let's not get disheartened. Anything seem suspicious? ANYWHERE? <--- The fact that there is nothing suspicious is suspicious! < -- Suspected calm before the storm.<br />
<br />
Did anyone think that maybe all the action last night was a distraction? that all the pre-FLUNK action was done last night in an attempt to throw us off. and tonight the inactivity is to make us unaware of FLUNK DAY tomorrow. they want us to be discouraged by getting our hopes high for April 23 when the actual FLUNK is April 24.. <-- THIS COULD BE HUGE!<br />
<br />
Campus Safety sent TKS the Campus Safety Log today instead of Tuesday. Katy Sutcliffe has written it for three years and says that has NEVER ONCE HAPPENED. Flunk Day must be tomorrow so they had to write it today!<br />
<br />
Debbie Southern just emailed me to make an appointment for tomorrow. Possible evidence against flunk day? Possibly just flunking with us?<--- why is debbie southern still awake?<--staying up late for the Flunk? THIS COULD BE HUGE<---Dibbie is sick. No appointments tomorrow. '''Lawl. '''This could also be huge.''''''<br />
<br />

<br />
Debbie Southern cancelled an important weekly meeting because the 25th is Secretary's Day... A lame cover-up if you ask me.<br />
<br />
Today is Flunk Day. Yep.<br />
<br />
The suspected musical guest is Gym Class Heroes. On their tour they are in Macomb on the 23rd and then in NY on the 28th. Why the break? FLUNK DAY OF COURSE. <--- Bands take breaks on tour for any variety of reasons. There are also gaps like this in their schedule for May, too. <--- We all know bands always have gaps in their tour schedules. Clearly the original poster doesn't mean they're taking a break FOR flunk day, just that there's always the option that they can be here... <-- It has been reported on the Facebook page today that Gym Class is too expensive... http://www.facebook.com/events/413379372024883/ who could it be???<br />
<br />
<br />
There are fifteen prospies coming Wednesday, so today is probably notttt the day. 5 of them are due to stay overnight also. <--- prove it. FLUUUNK DAY BETCHES! <--- Admissions has been known to make-up prospects to visit on flunk day so this is just more evidence that this IS flunk day <----Prospies can be here on flunk day. <-------- ALSO, three different people working with admissions have told me three different numbers of prospies for Wednesday. Sketchy? <---- Proof for Prospies on flunk day: I stayed overnight on Flunk Day last year.<br />
<br />
It's going to be rainy as fuck. Indoor flunks? Flunk in the rain? <--- they always set a rain date for Flunk Day, so if it's pouring out, Flunk Day will be postponed and we would be none the wiser... <--Ummm I thought the company they used was from like Florida or some coast, I'm sure once the date is chosen after a certain time, whether rain or shine they can't turn back on it. SO FLUNK THE RAIN! It will only make for a better mudpit!<---- It's not going to be "rainy as fuck." Learn how much 30-40% chance actually means. <-- It means the weatherpeople don't got their shit straight. <---Before you get angry maybe you should check the forecast again idiot<br />
<br />

<br />
Craig Southern sent out an email earlier today in which he said all housing applications are to be picked up Wednesday (April 25th) and filled out and returned the next day. Would he tell people to pick up housing applications on flunk day?<----Those who are going to apply for a single better be on their shit. <----why would he know/care? <-- He also just sent out an e-mail saying that the forms are due on Thursday at 4PM, but he did not say anything about Wednesday.<--- Yeah he did, "all applications will be available beginning tomorrow (Wednesday) in the Campus Life Office."<br />

<br />
Prophetic dream that flunk day was tomorrow. Also, in dream, Jil Gates was going around saying "why do you assume that flunk day has to only last for one day?" My dreams have been proven true 25% of the time. <-- THIS COULD BE HUGE!<br />

<br />
6:20pm: I went to buy gin at the Quickie and this was my conversation with the Quickie guy: <br/><br />

I'm flunking tomorrow, I guess today, regardless of whether it is flunk day or not. Just saying.<br />
<br />
12:47 a.m.: Jill Gates seen entering Campus Life Office! Why else would she do so unless tomorrow is El Dia de Flunk?? <--- To throw us off maybe. But this COULD be HUGE!!! Any confirmations? <---- i'm sure this is true, but i'm sure they just got back from the girl talk concert.<br />
<br />
1:02 am: Another text: "We nearly definitively found flunk day. Lots of trucks and vans with equipment and out of state license plates at holiday inn express. Have pics" (awaiting pics)<--It's been a half an hour. <br />
<br />
1:05 am: [[Andy Glass]] is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x20v9F-sWHQ]<br />
<br />
Miss Congeniality got it right. <br />
Stan Fields: Miss Rhode Island, please describe your idea of a perfect date. <br />
Cheryl "Rhode Island": That's a tough one. I'd have to say April 25th. Because it's not too hot, not too cold, all you need is a light jacket.<br />
<br />
1:18 am: I haven't had sex since November 22, tomorrow please be flunk day so I can get laid by some drunk girl! <-- and the award for sleaziest comment on the Wiki Fire goes to... <--- To the loser who can't get laid: I pity you. <--- November 22 is my birthday!!! But yeah this post... < As a girl who's not yet had her first kiss, let alone get laid, you, sir, are pathetic. <-- What happened to consent v. rape?? <--- The fact that I need to get girls drunk to get laid isn't pathetic, it's called game #winning <--- Actually it's called being a dick. Congratulations on being a man-slut. <-- CONFIRMED! <-- Hey, original poster. If you get girls drunk to have sex with them, you are a rapist. The girls cannot give consent when they are inebriated, and you are taking advantage of that. <br />
<br />
1:27 Helmut spotted walking down Cherry Street with Roger Taylor and Jesus. THIS COULD BE HUGE! <---False, they were just on their way to Cherry Street Restaurant to break up a barfight between Doctor Doom and a gang of velociraptors. NOT a Flunk Day sign.<br />
<br />
<br />
1:19am lights in the mail room are on, nothing in mailboxes as of yet kitchen lights are on but no movement. Suspicious grey sedan pulled up next to seymour. 4 people got out and went to the mail room, 3 minutes late 2 people get back in the car and leave. Something smell flunky?<br />
<br />
^That picture is fucking huge <--- CONFIRMED!!!<br />
<br />
1:48 AM Activity heard, but not seen, outside Jill Gates' apartment.<br />
<br />
1:49 AM William Shatner seen leaving Jill Gates' apartment with a false beard and a stovepipe hat. Celebrity Lincoln impersonator? <--- Was Takei dressed as Mary Todd? <-- ALL OF THIS. WANT.<br />
<br />
2:02 am inside sources tell me that Los Lonely Boys are the mystery performers <--- they have to be in Denver by tomorrow night (the 26th). I doubt their flunkiness bro.<------ pokerface.jpg<br />
<br />
2:12 am Suspicious white vehicle parked with lights on outside Seymour loading dock. Engine on, looks to be a four door car. <--------------------------HUGE,<br />
<br />
2:16 am Two female passengers in black, one carrying a bag, exit white vehicle and get into another car parked on the sidewalk. White car pulls away <------------------THIS COULD BE.<br />
<br />
No updates?!? C'mon guys!<br />
<br />
3:08 am Can't get a hold of a lot of seniors ... are they conspiring? Sleeping to prep for flunk day awesomeness?<br />
<br />
3:32 am The campus is eerily quiet.<br />
<br />
3:45 am - Asked a security guard if it was Flunk day and he said, "Between you and me, nope. Not today." Could be messing with me but I don't think its Flunk Day. Poop.<br />
<br />
4:10 am - New Video Found on Youtube! Official Flunk Day Song 2012! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpOwiz_Uj18&context=C42f3887ADvjVQa1PpcFMW2EZLo604zdtchMfNdtl7KxfKHWXvudw= <------------ CONFIRMED <------ this could be HUGE!!!!!! <------- ITS TODAY FOR SURE!<br />
<br />
4:50 am - Caf is open super early... interesting.<br />
<br />
Friars seen gathering <--- That's vague and unhelpful. Where?<br />
<br />
5:50 AM weak scare followed by a flunk fail. it's going to be a long day...<---confirmed.<br />
<br />
<br />
Jil Gates, you should probably expect an angry mob of drunk seniors after senior meeting outside your apartment tonight. <-- And everyone else. <-- oh c'mon you guys!! like they knew everyone would put all their hope into today being flunk day. they planned it months ago. it is no one's fault. just part of the hype. part of the flunk. this is what we have been waiting for ALL YEAR. so deal. quite your whinning please and spanks you. <-- normal hype is fine, but this year the hype became too intense too quickly for the actual day to be this late. instead of being excited and anticipating the day, people are just angry and disappointed when it isn't.<br />
<br />
It looks like this Flunk Day<br />
*Puts on sunglasses*<br />
Failed the test<br />
<br />
Even Gilbert thought it should have been today. This year is insane.<br />
<br />
11:52 am Why the fuck is it not Flunk Day?? #anticlimactic #tiredasfuck<br />
<br />
== <br />
'''APRIL 25: THE NIGHT BEFORE FLUNK DAY''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
‘Twas the night before Flunk Day, when all throughout Knox<br />
Not a creature was sleeping, not even the Fox.<br />
The Wiki and Facebook both opened with care,<br />
In the hopes that Flunk Day news would soon be there.<br />
<br />
The friars were nestled all snug in their beds,<br />
While visions of mud pits danced in their heads.<br />
And Roommate with booze, and I with my stash,<br />
Were all buckled in for the crazy ol’ bash.<br />
<br />
When out in the Quads there arose such a clatter,<br />
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.<br />
Away to the window I flew in a flash,<br />
Where someone there shouted, “Get off of your ass!”<br />
<br />
The sun on the top of newly-made mud<br />
Gave excitement and awe to first years and their buds.<br />
When, what to my wandering eyes should appear,<br />
But a big group of seniors, with a whole lot of cheer!<br />
<br />
With a check of my inbox, to see what they say,<br />
I knew in a moment it must be Flunk Day!<br />
More rapid than eagles, the friars they came,<br />
They whistled and shouted, and called out by name:<br />
<br />
“Now Conger! Now Neal! Now Elder and Four Name!<br />
Oh, Post! On, Furrow! Sherwin, don’t dare be lame!<br />
To the pit filled with mud! To the lawn of Old Main!<br />
Now drink away! Drink away! Let’s all go insane!!!”<br />
<br />
So much effort given there that it has to be Flunk Day<br />
<br />
Since we're going with poetry...<br />
<br />
'''Stopping By Campus on a Flunkin' Evening'''<br />
<br />
Which campus flunks, I think I know.<br />
The clues might be in Galesburg though;<br />
we'd miss the signs, at any rate,<br />
if only Knox is where we go.<br />
<br />
My roommate thinks it really great<br />
to stop his work and stay up late.<br />
Between the drinks I wonder why<br />
the darkened campus lies in wait.<br />
<br />
I give my email one more try<br />
to see if there is some reply.<br />
The only other message stunk:<br />
"It might be Friday." What a lie.<br />
<br />
All Knox is ready, pumped and drunk.<br />
But we have rumors to debunk,<br />
and hours to go before we flunk,<br />
and hours to go before we flunk.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== April 26th #nope ==<br />
<br />
Are the softball games real? I don't see them on Robert Morris's schedule... http://www.robertmorris.edu/athletics/womenssoftball/schedule/<br />
<br />
The previous link is to the schedule for Robert Morris's Chicago campus' team...This is to the Springfield campus confirming the softball games...http://www.robertmorris.edu/athletics/womenssoftball/springfield/schedule/<br />
<br />
Creepily overheard Kaitlyn making an appointment with Helmut for Thursday whilst in line at the Oak Room. Unless this is a red herring, could it mean Flunk Day won't be this day? <--- isn't she the senate dinning chair?<br />
<br />
I liked "The Night Before Flunk Day" so much that I saved it just in case it got taken off the Wikifire. Whoever wrote it rocks.<br />
<br />
Math homework due date moved from Thursday to Friday. Obviously this is not, as our professor claims, so that he has time to teach us the Laplace Transform, but rather because it is Flunk Day tomorrow.<br />
<br />
12:22 pm Flunk day will not be today, we got pre-enrollment continuing, a home softball double header, the English department award thing, and Bruce Polay is at the Orpheum tonight. Looks like it will be Friday!<--the next English awards aren't announced until May 7th, the Howard Wilson things is just a call for submissions. If an event is at the Orpheum, flunk wouldn't mess it up! <--- Confirmed! Flunk waits for no human!<--Bruce & Friends is on Friday...and he told us today in class that we'd have to go whether it's Flunk Day or not. <--- regardless, this will still not be flunk day, senior day for the softball team I'm pretty sure and I would sure hope that they wouldn't do that to the Seniors. <- no offense but I doubt senior softball day has any bearing on whether or not it's flunk day (I don't think it is though) <- confirmed <--- Ok, if they do that to the softball players I am personally going to rebel and not drink on flunk day, that's right. If you're not at an athlete you have no clue what it means to play one of your last home games. I'm not sure if the AD (Chad Eisele) has any say at all, but I'm sure he would do whatever he could to make it so that a team would not have to play their Senior day games on Flunk day. It is disrespectful to the Seniors, the team as a whole, the coaches, the manager(s) and the athletic trainers and staff. <--- no offense or anything but we are a D-3 school. I doubt they plan flunk day around a game that is maybe planned 6 month in advance, maybe. <---they would. '''flunk day dates were picked in february. that softball game was scheduled at the beginning of the year (September).''" that game is important to the seniors bro. it is their last home game EVER. <br />
<br />
Has the food shipment really come in? I don't think anyone real knows or can someone prove it has?<br />
<br />
1:35 pm Professor Du cancels Friday class. She claims she is taking her other class on a field trip to Chicago, but clearly she just doesn't want to deal with students who have post-Flunk Day hangovers. <---CONFIRMED! Though I'm in that class going to Chicago...in fact I'm driving... <-- She's my advisor and actually is going on that field trip<br />
<br />
No Flunk day yet = cruel and unusual punishment <--- Flunk day occurs more often in May than it does in April<br />
<br />
5:59 PM not going to happen. just calling it now.<br />
<br />
6:10 PM Interviewing Helmut for a newspaper article at 2PM tomorrow. Pretty sure he wouldn't have scheduled that if it were Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
10:56 PM Just heard the ghost of Abraham Lincoln proclaim in the hallways of lower post that today will be flunk day! <-- CONFIRMED! Ghost Lincoln has proclaimed it!<br />
<br />
Hey flunk planners: http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0yi0vxTQ01qkgyzto1_500.png <br />
<br />
For the record: -- from students that work closely with president Amott's office -- Teresa has never said she hates Flunk Day. We don't know where that rumor comes from, but it's BS. Of course it stresses her out, her first Flunk, but that's all. Furthermore she has little to do with when Flunk Day is and will not demand it to be after her installation. She has expressed at a faculty meeting (with many student witnesses) that she is not particularly fond of all the fuss around her installation. So that should not be used as an argument. However, the events planned for after her installation are much more an indication of Flunk Day not happening that week... That being said... FLUNK ON COWBOYS! <-YEE-HAW <-CONFIRMED-HAW <-does this leave hope for the 26th??!? <--- I think more so for the 27th, the 30th or the 1st <--- While Amott may be okay with it happening whenever, there is NO way administration will allow that. They know what to expect from Flunk Day... I say it is happening the 26th, 27th, or not until after her installation. < Amott is head of the administration... So yeah I don't think it'll be too shortly before, but she won't care if she is installed yet or not<br />
<br />
Lights are on in the mail room and the doors are closed. <--- Was anyone inside? Did you see movement? <---No. It's too early for them to be stuffing the boxes. Made that mistake two years ago<br />
<br />
Jack Moore is at senior meeting. Getting primed for tomorrow?<br />
<br />
Spain study abroad students had their Flunk Day TODAY!! Will ours be tomorrow?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
Flunk Day: a Haiku<br />
<br />
fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck<br />
<br />
fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck<br />
<br />
please be tomorrow<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
<br />
Caf ladies seen in the caf. What could they be doing at 12:02AM? It must be the final flunk. <---I WANT PROOF. PICS OR DIDN'T HAPPEN <---Smells like a lie <---Smells like flunk spirit <--- Or they ran out of something in the gizmo and needed to go to the caf fridges/freezers to get it. <br />
<br />
So everybody is giving up? Come on!!! It could be the day! Campus safety is driving around more than usual- I've seen them 3 times since I left my dorm an hour ago. They see me rollin', they hatin'...tryna catch me flunkin dirty.<br />
<br />
1:18 am- people heard running around near williston/ fiji yelling FLUNNNKKKK DAAYYYYY<br />
<br />
1:28am: Heard rumors that Flunk Day's not going to be until May. =\<br />
<br />
5:49 am: All quiet. Time to finish studying for that exam. . .<br />
<br />
== April 27th ==<br />
If FlunkFood was delivered Monday, April 16th, this would be the last day to serve fresh food. <--- since when does the caf serve us fresh food? <--- Helmut does a very good job with the resources that he has<br />
<br />
Last year Lincoln Fest was Friday and Saturday. This year it's only Saturday. Why did they not plan for another two-day event? the did!! A Friday Flunk Day with a super awesome musical group is kicking off the weekend festivities!<br />
<br />
I know Flunk Day is never on a Friday.. but we have had two emails from Jill about it being on a Friday..<--obviously she is trolling. <--- How do you know? Xavier used to do the same thing.<br />
---False! Tony Gant retold tales of the single Friday Flunk he's experienced. Apparently students looked just as awful on Monday as the usual post-flunk day. But it HAS happened. <-- Please, God, no... Let it not be on this Friday. Not this one.<----Oh god yes let it be friday! <br />
<br />
this is my guess. I doubt they'd do Monday or Tuesday (even if they have "enough days" to clean up before Teresa's thing)... if not it will be like the last week of term. gross.<br />
<br />
It is called 'The Final Flunk' for a reason right?... Final chance to make it a Friday, Final as in right before final exams, just final... <--- THE PERFECT PLAN. Make it on a Friday, prove that we will all just get fucked up all weekend, cancel flunk forever when the school is destroyed. THIS COULD BE HUGE(LY DISAPPOINTING). <-- CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
I just made an appointment with Jil for tomorrow afternoon. I don't think it will be tomorrow, guys. <--- Insignificant meetings can be rescheduled. <-- I told her I could meet this afternoon, Friday, or next Monday. She chose Friday. I really don't think she would choose to schedule a meeting then if she would just need to reschedule it later. <-- She schedule an appointment with me last year on Flunk day... don't put too much weight into the meeting.<br />
<br />
The Pool is closed tonight and tomorrow, why? FLUNK DAY<br />
<br />
Regina was spotted this afternoon with a few others loading large suspicious covered boxes into seymour. Tomorrow will be flunk day. <----The quickie also received a shipment of alcohol today this could be it. <-- The Quckie will receive alcohol shipments as long as there are Knox students to drink it, read: always, plus right now all the seniors are unemployed and depressed and drinking even more than usual. <---That may be true but that in conjunction with other flunkish goings ons could point to flunk day.<br />
<br />
5:27 PM flunk day e-mails have me confused... to flunk or not to flunk?!?? <- always flunk <- flunk fridays <- everyone flunks on friday <- so FLUNK FRIDAY?!?!?!?? <-- People would die.<br />
<br />
5:51 PM there are installation events EVERY DAY next week, so if it's going to be within the next week AT ALL, this would be the day <--- The installation events don't start until May 3. Do your research.<br />
<br />
6:07 PM There are a bunch of trucks at that hotel again, they're all white... sign??<br />
<br />
6:51 I babysit for my professor and they canceled babysitting for tomorrow. perhaps the kiddos are sick with flunk fever???!<br />
<br />
7:55 PM had to ask the caf ladies a question, walked into the kitchen and surprised them I guess, was immediately hurried out of one area because I wasn't supposed to see some things they were doing... flunk food?!?? <----Confirmed, ive tasted some of our food, I dont want to know what they do to some of it<br />
<br />
8:30 PM WHITE TRUCK SEEN DRIVING PAST GDH <-CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
8:43 PM I stopped giving a fuck. <-which is what the planners want, if you stop caring it's more of a surprise <---but it wouldn't be flunk day without the thrill of the hunt and the anticipation. Flunk day has to be a day where its not too expected so its a surprise but only after lots of good scares and midnight trips to the mailroom. <----Hahahahaha, you say this like Flunk Day has rules.<br />
<br />
8:49 PM caf ladies still guarding the kitchen.<br />
<br />
9:19 PM not enough people think flunk day's tomorrow to man the wikifire. sadness.<br />
<br />
9:35 PM [http://images.wikia.com/spongebobandfriendsadventures/images/7/76/Darth_Vader.jpg I find your lack of faith disturbing] <- liz? <- maybe. <- CONFIRMED <- woodyard? <- yup. <- geeky reference, that should have been obvious <- confirmed. <br />
<br />
9:40 Ed professors saying that tomorrow is flunk day.<br />
<br />
9:42 Jil Gates seen moving white boxes in her office!....or is she just flunking with us? <-- you guys gotta follow these things up with pics. <--- She would have seen me. Trust me I'm in Founders I seen her! <- I don't trust anyone with poor grammar <- CONFIRMED <br />
<br />
10:01 PM Like-A-Little is down; must be Flunk Day. <- thank god (if there was one)<--Psyche! LAL is up and running. Let the passive-aggressive flirting and bitching resume. <br />
<br />
10:21 PM all 3 of my professors think flunk day is tomorrow.<br />
<br />
10:23 PM mailroom windows are covered BEETCHEZZZ <- they weren't covered earlier, just asked a friend who works there. <--I WANT PICTURES PLEASE <- seconded. <--just walk there and see for yourself. <-- Confirmed, I live in Seymour I just checked. <- [http://cdn.homebrewtalk.com/attachments/f19/55487d1333502071-do-you-think-star-san-can-cure-jock-itch-untitled-280x280-.jpg not sure if trolling] but too lazy to go check for myself. pics please? <-- Fine, for the sake of you other Flunk Day enthusiasts I will abandon my studies and take a photo. BRB. [https://mail.knox.edu/service/home/~/?auth=co&id=3178&part=1] <- ERROR 404. if trolling, nicely done. if an actual error, I applaud you for trying, and thank you kind sir. <-- or lady. http://thewikifire.org/images/b/b8/Photo_on_2012-04-26_at_22.50.jpg <-- Mailroom windows covered proof<br />
<br />
10:25 PM quickie guy thinks flunk day is tomorrow, he's stocking the shelves at the moment<br />
<br />
10:38 PM once upon a time there was this paper due... and then it was flunk day. the student lived happily ever after...<br />
<br />
10:41 PM if it's not flunk day tomorrow, I'm blasting Nicki Minaj at 5 am from my surround sound in protest. sorry Hamblin. cue "you a stupid hoe..." (stupid of course referencing the universe for the the lack of flunk day) <- DO IT <- oh geez. <- LIZ. NO. <- no liz. <- [http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/hprofile-ak-snc4/50552_373059924590_3412244_n.jpg BUT MOOOOOOM] <-this would actually be entertaining, but only if a scare wakes me up first. <- deal. <-- Oh, God.<br />
<br />
10:58 PM jil gates seen walking around campus, why u no sleep jil?!?? <---Little known fact: instead of sleeping, Jill Gates gets all her energy from slaying vampires. <- those aren't vampires those are hipster kids<br />
<br />
no updates on the Flunk Day's twitter page...something smells flunky..<br />
<br />
11:03 PM my pet party rock thinks it's flunk day. <-- THIS COULD BE HUGE<br />
<br />
THERE'S AN EQUESTRIAN CLUB MEETING TOMORROW, NOT FLUNK DAY <- not important enough to matter, sorry bro<----SHIT NOT THE HORSES, CONFIRMED <-- HORSES TRUMP ALL. Know this. <- [http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/292/160/7e2.gif Horses are all that matters] <----CONFIRMED BROHOOF<br />
<br />
11:07 PM There's too many administrators on campus this late and too much campus safety activity for a normal quiet thursday night... something feels flunky<br />
<br />
11:11 PM GUYS what if Human vs. Zombies (which is tomorrow) a flunk day rouse!!! emails hint at friday flunk day and zombie lincoln. and it was canceled last friday...hmm a rainy day if we all recall. but tomorrow's not! FLUNK DAY"S TOMORROW. <-- I've been thinking the same thing, but it seems too good to be true <--- Jil's e-mails also mentioned seven headless zombies/horsemen and zombie DNA in the mudpit <- [http://www.alicia-logic.com/capsimages/xm_008_IanMcKellen.jpg magneto's hat tip to this post, flunk day's tomorrow] <br />
<br />
JIL SEEN CARRYING THE FRIAR TSHIRTS IN BOXES <---------- PICS OR IT DIDNT HAPPEN BITCH. <---how do you know why was in the boxes<br />
<br />
http://thewikifire.org/images/b/b8/Photo_on_2012-04-26_at_22.50.jpg <-- Mailroom windows covered confirmed/proof. Deleted once after linking...<br />
<br />
Flunk tomorrow? Then they'd only have one big cleanup to deal with after Lincoln Fest! <---shhhhh let us have this happy <----- .......what even? <- flunk day tomorrow would make it EASIER since they'd only have to clean up ONCE. flunk day tomorrow: 1 <------ I think that's what this person originally meant<br />
<br />
11:34 PM 2 SEMIS JUST DROVE BY OLD MAIN/GDH, big unmarked white ones!!!!<br />
<br />
Jil Gates Told us it was tomorrow all along. Beyond hinting it could be a Friday. Let's go Da Vinci Code on this. April 17th Flunk Day email quote: "SEVEN headless horsemen (or Zombies) run by your suite window." April 25th quote: "The final flunk will last SEVEN years before the peace and quiet returns." & "the SEVEN impossibly fun plagues of the Final Flunk." Okay first off didn't Egypt have 10 plagues in the old testament? Why did Jil Gates choose SEVEN then? And several times? Maybe because 7 is on her mind? Because of the 27th???? Maybe she was trying to give us a hint. BOMBSHELL.<br />
<br />
Of course the only other number was a 5 so she could have also been trying to hint 5/7, May 7th <--- Or she might be hinting at week 7, next week <---- May 7th is installation week when all the alums and trustees will be here. there are events every night to show off the school and student's achievements, it has to be before that week.<br />
<br />
ZOMBIE HAM! <--- ALLUDED TO!<br />
<br />
11:45 PM- Girls screaming in Hamblin. <---Same shit as always.<br />
<br />
12:00 am I'm tired of hearing about all the suspicious trucks, obviously it means nothing if they are seen every night (especially if you aren't even going to post pics) I"m not trying to be a debbie downer on the Flunk spirit, I personally love all the anticipation and chit-chat, but let's just calm down on the trucks a little bit <--- also, semi trucks do not make a difference. The Flunk equipment will not be in a fucking semi truck. <-- THIS<br />
<br />
It's Friday, Friday, Gotta get down on Friday... <- [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ti1D9t8n0qA flunk friday] <-- Even better/worse than Friday, Hot Girls We've Got Problems Too, We're Just Like You, Except We're Hot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__HeE6NWmDE<br />
<br />
Woo, another scare! <-- there's not going to be another scare. 80% of why we seniors did the scares was because a part of us WISHED it was the Real Deal. We're just as disappointed as undersclassmen that it hasn't happened yet. <----THANK YOU FOR ADMITTING THIS RATHER THAN SAYING WE'RE JUST WHINING. <-- You're welcome. Also, if there had been no scares, waking up on the actual day would be much less anticlimactic. Trust me. <--- Also, stop whining. For real. We all had to go through it and it's a tradition and someday you will enjoy it. <----It isn't every year that there's a huge event like installation to deal with planning around though, so it makes everything more confusing and frustrating this year.<br />
<br />
12:32 - What is this a flunk day group therapy session? <---THIS COULD BE HUGE < "Hi! My name is Abraham Lincoln, and I thought Flunk Day was today..." <--- "Hi Abraham!"<br />
<br />
Tomorrow would be TOO COLD for Flunk Day. We're all gonna day. Final Flunk, bitches. <- [http://pichars.org/store/1416_original_CKBN5. oh no! whatever shall we do?!?] <- CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
12:45 AM FLUNK FLUNK? who's there? ACTIVITY IN THE MAIL ROOM! <--- Pics or video or it didn't happen. ;.; <- if i was a normal rich hipster kid I'd have loved to have done so, as it is, my track phone was unable to do so, so you'll just have to trust me or go take a video for me <--- Yeah, security was just taking down the newspaper on the mailroom windows.<br />
<br />
12:56 AM just finished piecing together my flunk day ensemble, soo ready for the next few hours. also, jil gates was just walking back to her place, a bit late, huh? FLUNK DAY!!<br />
<br />
No seniors reported missing yet... <br />
<br />
1:08 AM student 0 was infected. from here the zombie virus will only spread (no it's not an STD, it's airborne, beware) <- my roommate must be patient 0, she's really sick<br />
<br />
1:16 AM activity on the loading dock, flunk preparations?!? <-- Be more specific. <- maintenance-looking guys (maybe caf worker dudes, whatever) were loading boxes of stuff in from a white truck...? <-- pics or it didn't happen <-- HONOR CODE, BITCHES, YOU HAVE TO TRUST US <-- Okay but...I'll admit it: when there were scares planned, we seniors would purposely create hype on the Wikifire. Now that none of us are playing around anymore, it would take a pretty sick person to post stuff that isn't true. I think we should stop demanding pics for every little thing. <- They took down the covers in the mail room <- i mean, who WOULDN'T just believe everything they read on the internet?!? seriously... <-- I can see the loading dock from my room, there's nothing there. <- this was posted at 1:16, I doubt there still would be people there <-- one senior does not speak for the rest of us! WE WILL SCARE UNTIL THE END. <-what this guy said, but also what another post said- upperclassmen are JUST as upset when it ISN'T flunk day as the freshmen are, if not more so since we've been through this before. who said only underclassmen can honestly post on the wikifire?!? obviously every post by an upperclassmen is a troll.<br />
<br />
1:45 AM- Police by Borzello<br />
<br />
1:50 AM- Hushed flunk-sounding conversation overheard among seniors, they immediately departed. WHERE ARE THE SENIORS PEOPLE!? <--- Planning a scare of course. Those flunkers.<br />
<br />
1:52 AM flunk or death, in honor of Chris Overton.<br />
<br />
2:02 AM I got a fever, and the only cure is [http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20060929191502/snl/images/6/66/More_cowbell.gif flunk day] <- HAHAHAHAHA just woke up my roommate laughing, thanks for that :-)<br />
<br />
2:37 PM White Loading Truck with the word VOICES just drove past tompkins.<br />
<br />
Nope. Fun waiting with you folks though. See you after installation to flunk it up! <----Why does no one understand it can't be after the installation? The week of May 7th is installation week filled with events to show off our school to alumni and trustees. They can't have it then and they can't have it after that week because Flunk Season is over by Week 9 and 10.<br />
<br />
You taste these tears. [http://oi49.tinypic.com/34ozou0.jpg Taste my sad, Union Board]<br />
<br />
== April 30th PREPARE TO FLUNK==<br />
HAS TO BE FLUNK DAY. <br />
<br />
TWO FLUNK DAY PLANNERS SEEN IN THE RODGE LODGE WITH LARGE COLORED PAPER SHEETS. THEY LOCKED THE DOOR TO THE ROOM IN THE BACK. THIS IS HUGE! <-- Time? Can anyone confirm? <--- CONFIRMED Jack and Kaitlyn walked out of the craft room at 9pm with posters (I was there) <br />
<br />
Baseball game canceled, jazz performance canceled, Teresa Amott's Midwestern mud-bath: CONFIRMED.<br />
<br />
If flunk day is this week it would be Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. There's a home baseball game on Monday (today) so that makes it unlikely (it is confirmed on Eureka's schedule) Tuesday looks pretty promising with not very many events on the calendar, and Wednesday there are more home baseball games so, again, unlikely (yes I'm aware coaches don't know when flunk day is and that the schedule is made before flunk day is planned, but the planners know what the athletic schedules are and stay away from having flunk day on the day of a home sporting event, it would likely be a very poor situation for both teams and their coaches) In other words, if Flunk Day is not on Tuesday, it looks like we will have to wait another week. <---GAMES WERE CANCELLED<br />
<br />
Vince Rug, senior, has made this his new prediction.<br />
<br />
Vince Rug, senior, does not know anything. <---There is a high probability that he is a secret planner. Also, he is in charge of the twitter page. <-- Second part is absolutely false, sorry 'bout it. <- [https://forums.playfire.com/_proxy/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fi595.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Ftt40%2Fofx360%2F47721c5a_79dd_3aa60.jpg&hmac=b769522379bed205992eef225bd75fad seriously?!?]<br />
<br />
Red Room interviews are on the 30th. I mean, the CTL probably doesn't know when Flunk Day is, but it seems like a somewhat serious event.<---FALSE not a serious event at all, and no way was it scheduled early enough to get on the list. They'd just reschedule. <---Not serious? Don't mess with Red Room. They can send the dancing Red Room box after you. <----Laura Bush said that last year Red Room interviews had to be rescheduled because of Flunk Day. Obviously that means today IS Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
Even though there are baseball games, the Eureka head coach is a Knox alum (he graduated in 09?) and he loovveeesss flunk day. He could totally be in on it.<---Confirmed Clarkey is pretty cool.<-----CONFIRMED Game against Eureka on Monday cancelled.<--CANCELED GAME THIS IS HUGE!<br />
<br />
The main stage dance show has 4.5 hours worth of tech rehearsal this day and it cannot be cancelled. Better not be Flunk Day. <--- Flunk Day does not conform to the needs of mortals.. <--- Flunk Day 2009 was held during the main stage dress rehearsal. It was difficult for the dancers, but they trudged through.<br />
<br />
Flunk Day why you gotta play hard to get? Two can play that game. Bring. It. On. http://i.imgur.com/vpsmi.gif<br />
<br />
Flunk Day newspapers have been printed. <--- proof? <--- Does it matter? TKS doesn't know when Flunk Day is. <--- The newspapers have been printed for a month. And TKS doesn't know when Flunk Day is. <--- Obviously, since flunk day was supposed to be last wednesday. <- TKS prints the papers at the beginning of spring term so they're always ready for flunk day <-- Confirmed, we made it the first week back. But it's a really cool issue. <br />
<br />
According to the calendar, the Stix Hooper with the Galesburg Jazz Quintet was cancelled. Because they heard it would be Flunk Day? <------ Prof. Nikki Malley has confirmed that they did NOT cancel due to flunk day. No one who planned the event knows when the day is. <br />
<br />
IT'S FLUNK DAY TODAY OR TOMORROW. Proof: custodian lady in seymour was bored and started a conversation, casually mentioned how all the flunk day food was here except for the fruit and buns... saw her like an hour later again and she said, and I quote, "enough fruit came in this morning to fill Noah's ark," and insisted that flunk day would have to be Monday or Tuesday based on the timing of the fruit arrival and the calendar of events for the installation PREPARE TO FLUNK!!! <- confirmed by caf ladies (I work at the caf) <- DOUBLE CONFIRMED. I ASKED THE NICE CAF LADY WHO SWIPES US IN (BETTY WHITE?)<--- Carolyn, also known as the woman I want to adopt me <--I thought her name was Carlyne. <-- def carlyne. she already adopted me so i would know.<br />
<br />
Drove back from Peoria, 4 white semi trucks were in front of me on the Galesburg exit and went to the hotel by the highway. prepare to FLUNK.<br />
<br />
HEY UNION BOARD, FLUNK DAY'S TOMORROW, [http://i.imgur.com/uMLfO.gif RIGHT?!?]<br />
<br />
It is supposed to be stormy and cold Monday and Tuesday. Awesome.<----Don't know where you get your weather from, but personally I don't consider 70 degrees cold... http://i.imgur.com/6fb6i.jpg <- if it's rainy [http://s3.amazonaws.com/rapgenius/4db77_ORIG-look_at_all_the_fucks_i_give.jpg oh well] <- [http://www.troll.me/images/annoying-facebook-girl/omg-its-raining-post-facebook-status-about-it.jpg confirmed]<br />
<br />
Townhouses are on fire. It's the final flunk. http://i.imgur.com/LSmz0.jpg <----- CONFIRMED, everything in Galesburg is starting to spontaneously combust. it must be the final flunk tomorrow!!<br />
<br />
things are getting MUDDY!!<br />
<br />
My roommate's fortune from her fortune cookie: http://i.imgur.com/NBax5.jpg FLUNK DAY!<br />
<br />
Flunk day for the Alumni was held in Chicago on Friday April 27th. Maybe they knew already :O<br />
<br />
1:57 PM Kaitlyn and Jack spotted walking to the Union Board office. Routine meeting...OR FLUNK????<br />
<br />
5:45 PM: I saw Kaitlyn Duling in the caf and she was very polite to me. Flunk Day is tomorrow! <--Kaitlyn is always nice!<br />
<br />
6:41 PM quickie guy hopes its tomorrow, but admits he doesn't know for sure.<br />
<br />
6:48 PM Velociraptors were sighted near 74. flunk?!? <- CONFIRMED!!!! they always gather the night before flunk day. <-- I ate dinner with the head raptor, and he told me that he hopes tomorrow is Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
6:57 PM Jil Gates spotted in her office <- confirmed<br />
<br />
6:59 PM Midterm moved back due to strong likelihood of flunk day!!! this is it guys!!!!!!!! <- CONFIRMED <- double confirmed, thank god<br />
<br />
7:00 PM Professor who shall not be named (seriously, they'll be mad if they found out) thinks it's flunk day tomorrow because the installation events posters suggest it is this week (and early, so tomorrow)<br />
<br />
As a senior, we do not have a scare planned for tomorrow. Let's work together and find those FD clues tonight <-confirmed <-- And that's what Flunk Day is all about!<br />
<br />
7:06 PM Cheryl (mail room lady now that Niel retired) spotted in the mail room!!!! <- CONFIRMED!! <- her name is Sherrill.<br />
<br />
7:09 PM it feels like flunk day <- it felt like that in the caf too <- confirmed<br />
<br />
7:13 PM Jil is still in her office!! FLUNK DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <- that doesn't mean it's flunk day <- why else would she CHOOSE to work on a Sunday night when she lives on campus and works 5 days a week?!? it's just too strange <- I talked to Jil a few weeks ago, and she was saying she wouldn't be around much this weekend, so this does seem suspicious. <--Why is it so weird that she's in her office? I live on campus and ostensibly only have school 5 days a week, but I definitely end up in SMC on the weekends.<br />
<br />
7:14PM TWO TRUCKS JUST DROVE BY!!! <-pics or it didn't happen <- they drove by, sorry for not chasing them down in the rain with my camera. <br />
<br />
7:15PM fire alarm in exec, could they be testing all the fire alarms for the big day??<br />
<br />
7:17PM hyvee worker said they've seen several professors and a TON of knox students today. that's all the proof I needed<br />
Last year we found out by calling the golf club to see if they had a big group reservation for the next day... anyone feel like doing that?<br />
<br />
7:22 PM a bunch of seniors just walked into post lobby with their purchases (alcohol), maybe friars?? <-- Friars don't know yet.<br />
<br />
7:34PM weather looks good tomorrow!!! it's supposed to be bad the rest of the week, flunk day better be tomorrow! <- confirmed<br />
<br />
7:39 PM a bunch of trucks were parked by the gym earlier today and two men were walking around campus, i bet they were looking at the layout of campus and the field house for setting stuff up tomorrow <- confirmed, I saw them and thought the same thing<br />
<br />
7:44 PM caf worker leaving her shift said she was mad she wasn't going to be here tomorrow because "I like to watch you guys," i asked her what she meant and she just smiled and shook her head and left. FLUNK DAY!!!!!!<br />
<br />
7:50PM knock knock. who's there? FLUNK DAY!<br />
<br />
7:51 pm hey guys i'm pretty positive flunk day is tomorrow, my dad is an alum who is coming into town for the inauguration events and he got an e-mail a week ago I guess (i just found out about it now, figures) saying to come in tomorrow or wednesday because the students had a "large campus event" monday < screen cap? this could be HUGE <br />
<br />
7:58 PM maintenance guy just said he thought flunk day was tomorrow!!! woohoo!!!!<br />
<br />
8:01PM too many scares are planned this week, I doubt flunk day is before inauguration <- its early enough that it won't matter <- no, it isn't. events start this week <- it's DEFINITELY still early enough, flunk day tomorrow will give them time to clean up properly before her big day <- to wait till after would mean to wait till May 11th. Too close to finals<br />
<br />
The legends say that Flunk Day is not dead. Instead, it will return to Knox in a time of dire need. So, Flunk Day is tomorrow. <- confirmed<br />
<br />
8:21PM Midterm monday is the day we all deserve, but not the one we need right now. FLUNK DAY!!! (also, suspicious activity in seymour, but who knows it could just be normal activity. whatever)<br />
<br />
8:27PM I NEED IT TO BE FLUNK DAY TOMORROW. THIS SHIT IS RIDICULOUS. <- generally people should not believe everything they see on the internet (especially anything "wiki"), but THIS IS SO TRUE. FLUNK DAY FLUNK DAY FLUNK DAY <-confirmed<br />
<br />
8:30 Jill Gates spotted going back into office. She heard us talking about Flunk Day and gave us a knowing look. Caf lights are on and people are doing things inside. Bookstore lights also on. My god, this could be huge.<br />
<br />
8:44 p.m.: I have written two sentences of a 10-page paper due tomorrow. If Flunk Day is not tomorrow, I am going to die.<br />
<br />
8:46 pm is it flunk day yet????<br />
<br />
8:59 pm Went on a desperate C-Store info-gathering mission. No one could confirm that Flunk Day is tomorrow. Curses. <-this also means they couldn't deny it!!<br />
<br />
9:02 PM After all this rain the mud pit should be easy, anyone got a shovel?<br />
<br />
9:00 pm Red sky at night, sailor's delight. When sailors delight in the midwest, it's obviously a flunk day omen. -overheard from J.O.<br />
<br />
^^these two posts don't make sense timing-wise. THE END IS NEAR!!! <- [http://i.imgur.com/EfXfu.png proof the end is near]<br />
<br />
9:12 PM there's a scare planned, but I think the scare will turn into the real thing. it's like a scare within a scare... --> FLUNKCEPTION. We need to go deeper. <-that's what she said < poor girl. Anyway, who planned the scare? <- don't worry about it, just know that there is one<br />
<br />
9:27 PM I'm almost done with all my homework. This NEVER happens. clearly tommorrow is flunk day<br />
<br />
9:34PM MAIL ROOM ACTIVITY! (no I didn't take a stupid picture, enough people live in that building with better cameras that if one is even necessary someone can go take one) lights on and people talking. nothing in my box though (yet!)<br />
<br />
9:45pm The song I karaoke'd to last Flunk Day came on Pandora. Sign from holy spirit of velociraptors? <- [http://cdn.randomfunnypicture.com/pictures/1242Holy_Shit535.jpg confirmed]<br />
<br />
9:50PM Regina spotted walking down to Rodge Lodge, upon questioning she said she was "looking forward to tomorrow." <--Confirmed. <--Double confirmed. <--She looked nervous and was in a hurry. Where did she need to be at 10 pm?? <-- Come on, seriously? <- nice try troll! if this were true, it wouldn't be flunk day, which is what you KNEW when you posted it, so IT MUST BE FLUNK DAY BECAUSE THIS SHIT ISN'T REAL!! <br />
<br />
10:31 PM Asked Magic Eight Ball if it is Flunk Day tomorrow. "It is certain" was the reply. <- probably the best evidence yet <- confirmed<br />
<br />
10:38 PM: any photos of the suspicious mailroom activity?<---- went down there took a pic there was nada going on. cross my flunking heart.<br />
<br />
10:38 PM Regina is missing in action!<br />

<br />
Zak Khan, one of the Green Oaks Program Assistants, put up a facebook status about it being Flunk Day tomorrow. The Green Oaks people do their best to find out when it's Flunk Day at least the night before! Do they know something???? <--- lolz nice try they know nothing <-- Zak Kahn didn't even know anything when he was at Knox, let alone now...<br />
<br />
10:48 p.m. Me: Is it Flunk Day tomorrow? Internet magic 8 ball: It seems unlikely. Me: Should I write my paper? Internet magic 8 ball: My sources say no. THE INTERNET IS CONFUSED. Flunk Day is tomorrow.<br />
<br />
10:49 PM: Me: is it flunk day tomorrow. Maggie: Yeah man.<--CONFIRMED! I heard it from Miss Maggie's lips myself! <---DOUBLE CONFIRMED Miss Maggie got some big lips.<----TRIPLE CONFIRMED Did you see that cleavage at Dan Deacon DAYUMM She can drink my Arizona whenever she want! <br />

I just asked him. << confirmed. Charlie has no idea. < Wow, man. Really desperate, aren't you? <- Why would Charlie know? He's a sophomore. << If you ask him he'll say that he's a junior. < Blasphemy. He's an apophomore. <<<<< drunk already?<br />
<br />
11:37 PM Myth: Flunk Day is really just a myth.<br />
<br />
11:45PM [http://i.imgur.com/VMYrJ.jpg flunk.]<br />
<br />
Get out the shovels. Dig the fucking mud pit. Somebody's gotta grow a pair and do it!!<------DO IT YOURSELF THEN AND STOP FUCKING BITCHING ABOUT IT<br />
<br />
11:53 PM EHHRMAGERRRHHDD FLEEERRRRHHHNNNKKK DEEERRRRHHHHHH<------CONFIRMED??????? <-double confirmed. <br />
<br />
11:56 PM HAWAIIAN SHIRT IS ON. FLUNK DAY IS ON.<br />
<br />
12:01 AM These updates are flunking stupid. Def not Flunk day tomorrow.<--- Confirmed. Updates are shitty and circlejerky. No real information provided. 2/10. Would not read again.<br />
<br />
12:02 AM Those who are non-believers say its not flunk day. They will not survive the final flunk.<br />
<br />
12:10 a.m. The Gizmo workers are abusing the speakers claiming it's Flunk Day. They are hurting the hearts of people writing papers.<br />
<br />
12:16 The Rapture is coming.<br />
<br />
12:22 Routine mail room check: no signs of activity. However, it has been confirmed that, were a student to hide in the alcove by the elevator shaft, a Flunk Day planner coming down the stairs may not see him or her. This could be huge. <---Good to know!:)<-- It's only midnight...<br />
<br />
12:31 AM The Gizmo workers just announced that tomorrow is Flunk Day. They are delusional and know nothing. Do not be fooled. <<< OMG D'ANGELO STOP IT YOU ARE RUINING MY BUZZ<br />
<br />
12:41 What is the status of students that are abroad?<br />
<br />
12:45 AM if there was a god, I'd pray for flunk day.<br />
<br />
12:48 AM Pouring rain has begun. Will it let up? Has flunk day been pushed back? Only time will tell. <--apparently there's no rain for later in the day so we might be good. but the mudpit is like watering itself right now so if this isn't taken advantage of I GIVE UP - Stop complaining about the mudpit. Have you checked it? It's fine. <--- I don't think this was a complaint about the mudpit. Whoever posted this was just saying by having rain the mudpit is taking care of itself and that it would require less work to water if it is indeed flunk day. <--yeah that's exactly what I was saying, sorry it was taken the wrong way<br />
<br />
12:55 AM Pirates of the Caribbean almost over <--- That means the rum is about gone, can't be flunk day if the rum is gone :(<--- Or are we at World's end?!?!<br />
<br />
1:14 AM [http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120313150151/mlp/images/6/66/Pinkie_with_crystal_ball_6_S2E20.png traveling fortune teller told me today is flunk day]<br />
<br />
1:22 AM Sam Martone is losing his shit. Today must be Flunk Day. Also, Sam Martone reading about himself will only cause him to lose his shit even more, perpetuating an ego-driven cycle of shit-losing, resulting in the conclusion that Flunk Day is, indeed, today. Because Flunk Day revolves around Sam Martone, and vice-versa. <-- Sam Martone probably wrote this. Yeah?<br />
<br />
1:42 AM Waking up to no flunk day is like waking up to a world where Katniss and Peeta aren't together. <-- That would pretty much suck, that would mean you'd be waking up to a world of reapings and hunger games, cause they didn't get together till the very end. <-see this shit Union Board??!? THIS is why flunk day HAS to be today, people are losing their minds. <-- confirmed, i have misplaced mine<br />
<br />
1:57 a.m. We walked by those wooden doors in Seymour that close off Ferris Lounge entrance at 1:10 a.m. and they were shut and locked. THOSE DOORS ARE NOW OPEN AND THAT HALL HAS LIGHTS ON. <--- Same thing happened last week. Whatever.<br />
<br />
1:59 a.m. Three seniors are camped out on the stairwell over the Union Board office. If anyone goes in, they'll see. <-- having to walk by them is freaking me out, they're really intense. <---I don't know who these seniors are, but I love you.<br />
<br />
I was one of the above seniors. At 12:09 we witnessed Jack Moore walk into the UB office. We watched the office until 2:00 AM and he had still not emerged. The lights in the office remained off for the entire 2 hours. <== Could he have snuck out???? <--- no, unless there is more than one door to the office. But I'm pretty sure there isn't.<br />
<br />
2:17 am: Let me just say, I am way better at checking the wikifire for updates than I am at doing my homework. And I'm betting I'm not alone here... <-- CONFIRMED! I have no clue how to speak chinese like i'll have to for tomorrow!<br />
<br />
2:20AM: No flunk day mail yet. Boo. There is still hope, though!<br />
<br />
2:24AM: Jack Moore's apartment lights are off....Is he still in the UB office?<br />
<br />
2:25am-Some UB members are supposed to be going to bradley for a UB training session on Tuesday! Who are the UB members going? Kaitlyn, Jack Regina and Jil? <--Someone find out.<br />
<br />
2:26 am: Any mailroom action? Anybody? http://cinemagr.am/show/5424768<br />
<br />
2:30 a.m. Is this a normal amount of lights for the kitchen? [[File:Photo.jpg]] <--- Yes it's been like that every night for about a week now. Maybe longer.<br />
<br />
2:51 a.m. White truck with "The Voice" on the side in blue font spotted driving past Fiji. Does that name mean anything to anyone? An act or anything? <----- ISN'T THAT A TV SHOW? THIS COULD BE HUGE! <---- http://www.nbc.com/the-voice/ <---That truck has been in Galesburg for a week... <=== Need Evidence! Perhaps auditions being held in Galesburg?<--- "2:37 PM White Loading Truck with the word VOICES just drove past tompkins." (April 27th, thewikifire.org)<br />
<br />
[[File:315am.jpg]]<br />
<br />
3:56 a.m Above image is photoshopped, he has no shadow, also the arm looks off.<----CONFIRMED (I can tell by the pixels)<br />
<br />
4:01 am: He is clearly hovering above the ground like a Flunk Fairy. I AM ALREADY DRUNK. IS ANYONE AWAKE????<br />
<br />
4:03 am: seen around seymour... http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly4m2qWEpw1qhy6c9o2_r1_500.gif<br />
<br />
4:30 am: dude in founders says, "It's terrible to have to study on Flunk Day..." I don't know if he's flunkin with me...<br />
<br />
5:07 am: At long last, a guy walked toward Seymour with a package and an awkward gait. Many cars drift the streets. We remain paperless and unstuffed. The yellow fog rubs its back upon the window panes. Our sore throats squeak in unison, "If I could talk, I said I would talk, but I wouldn't." Come on, Eileen.<br />
<br />
5:35 am: No email. No activity. No Flunk. Today is gonna suck. <------ CONFIRMED!! <br />
<br />
8:04 AM: LOL can't believe that anyone thought it would be today. Tuesday or Wednesday mofos :) <--- you dont know when it will be and neither do any of us. <----Also, you should not go to this school if you're going to be that big of a dick about when you think flunk day will be. <br />
<br />
10:32 am: Guys. Flunk Day doesn't exist. It's never going to happen.<br />
<br />
11:10 am: GOD DAMN IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
11:31 AM: Flunk day is more of a burden than something to look forward to now. Everyone has too much work to do and schedules are getting tighter. <---CONFIRMED. No longer even looking forward to it, just want it to be over with...<br />
<br />

<br />
== May 1st FLUNK ALL THE THINGS!!!==<br />
<br />
All the activities that are planned, for whenever the Flunking thing is, better be Flunking worth it.<br />
<br />
FRESHMEN NEED TO STOP BITCHING ABOUT JOKES ON THE WIKIFIRE. This isn't supposed to be a legitimate source of information. One day, when you are a senior, you will understand.<---Probably not a senior.<---Confirmed <br />
<br />
Follow me on this my young'ns: lights on in the mailroom--->only important if it is where the mail is STUFFED. How the hell are they supposed to see where to put our goodies otherwise? Lights on in the caf and in the backroom of the caf<--- ALWAYS ON<br />
<br />
Before you post about something HUGE, take a look around when it's not HUGE and see what is ordinary to find out when it's extraordinary. Friggen noobs are killing me.<br />
<br />
Haymarket Riot-themed flunk. <--I always think this says "Haymitch" #hungergames lolz<br />
<br />
Another conspicuous day of events: Spanish Table, Photo Exhibit, Red Room, and a Family Planning Booth.<br />
The Chicago Knox Club Alumni Relations proclaims May first as Flunk Day<br />
<br />
Well this is probably Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
Dress rehearsal for main stage dance show. Not Flunk Day. <--As someone who's been in a Spring mainstage show, rehearsals have zero effect on Flunk Day. We had to show up my freshman year for rehearsal anyways. <- pretty sure "dancers" aren't on the list of people they plan flunk day around.<--they probably won't flunk with the show, since it's part of the installation, but I bet they don't give a flunk about rehearsals. <- the dance show doesn't matter (former planner here, alumni '07) <-- To calm the masses, as well as myself, about dance rehearsal. "If Flunk Day is Tuesday we will cancel our dress for that day. In its place we will do two runs on Wednesday. Call at 4pm with a go time of 4:30pm. We will then take an hour break and do another run at approx. 7:30pm."<br />
<br />
This is what sucks. April 30 isn't going to be Flunk Day, then everyone will get riled up for today to be Flunk Day. This will be about the sixth time the campus and the wikifire page have gone insane trying to predict it. Then this will also not be Flunk Day, and we will have to wait until after the installation. Sucks. <----- THIS SUPER SUCKS!! CONFIRMED =/ <br />
<br />

<br />
Ok everyone. Let's not lose the flunk spirit. I know it's hard, I wake every day down-trodden and upset that I was not awaken by a bunch of hooligans at 6am, but flunk day will come. We need to keep our spirits up. I have already begun to accept that Flunk day will not be until next week, but there is nothing wrong with that. We can't let this FLUNKING Union Board FLUNKING oppress us!!! This is a call to arms my brothers, meet me tomorrow with a beer in your hand at the Union Board office to protest this FLUNKING miserable situation. <---Too much effort neccessary, just keep hoping it is Flunk Day tommorrow, saves everyone some time.<---DO YOU HEAR THE PEOPLE FLUNK, SINGING THE SONG OF FLUNKY DRUNKS, IT IS THE MUSIC OF A PEOPLE WHO WILL ALWAYS FLUNK AGAIN, WHEN THE BEATING OF YOUR HEART ECHOES THE BEATING OF THE FRIARS THERE IS A LIFE ABOUT TO START WHEN THE FLUNK DAY COMES.<- WILL YOU HELP US STORM U B, WHO WILL SLEEP IN AND DRINK WITH ME?

9:20PM flunk day planners seen walking out of union board office with jil gates! Can anyone confirm? Also, where the flunk did the "May 1st" part of the page go?!!! <---Confirmed, well at least that she was with jack, i passed the two of them walking towards the apartments from seymour on my way from apartments to seymour<-----I'm on Union Board, we meet on Fridays from 8-9 and we were voting on Fall term events today so it went a little late; and I'm pretty sure Jack Walks with Jil home every monday <--- Did they go up a hill to fetch a pail of water? THIS COULD BE HUGE. <---CONFIRMED AS LONG AS THEY DON'T BREAK THEIR CROWNS<br />
<br />
Shit. sucks.<br />
<br />
10:00PM Kaitlyn Duling walks out of the front door of gingerbread house, makes a left towards Hamblin and meets someone, whose face is obscured in the shadows. They talk briefly, and then move on.

10:46PM The Flunk Lord of Borzello reigning out of BFE, Indiana proclaims that in less than 2 hours to be the Day of Flunk.<br />
<br />
A friend pointed out that there's a campus beautification thing Sunday. It'd be weird to pretty up the campus just for us to flunk it up, which would imply pre-installation Flunk. <-- Or they could just let us flunk it up after the instillation events are over. <--the installation events are not over until the 11th! <-- "One of my supervisors at the library mentioned that Flunk Day has been as late as May 13. I hereby commiserate with everyone else contributing to this page." Just saying. <-- thing on Sunday seems more of a volunteer opportunities rather than a specific campus beautification thing<br />
<br />
I'm fairly certain this "Flunk Day" thing is just a myth. <----- I called Discovery and they're sending the Myth Busters tomorrow.<--CONFIRMED. They're going to blow stuff up and that's the super secret performance. <-- THAT'D BE AWESOME.<br />

<br />
Oh ye of little faith. Thou look upon the day of flunk with doubt, like a false idol. But I was sent by forces thou canst not fathom but within thy sleeping prayers. I stand in the face of injustice and ask my brothers and sisters in this kingdom of flunk we inhabit graciously, and I ask you for your faith. We must ask forgiveness for our hubris in denying the one great truth. We must stand together as believers despite the harsh crucibles that have perturbed us. I do not ask that Flunk day shall usurp this first of May. I know it shall. My soul knows it shall. Sacrifice your bitterness and do what is right, brothers and sisters. Our salvation shall come, and it shall be glorious.<br />
<br />
-a desperate man <---CONFIRMED. I STAND WITH THEE! WE MUST NOT FORSAKE HOPE IN OUR TIME OF NEED! WE MUST NEEDS REMAIN STRONG AND VIGILANT! WE MUST NEEDS REMAIN TRUE TOGETHER! IF WE FORSAKE HOPE, WE FORSAKE EVERYTHING!!!<br />

"Oh, we better just give them this..." <-- pics or video or it didn't happen <-- I guess you'll just have to trust the word of the students. Not everybody walks around with a videocamera 24/7 <--You SHOULD! It's Flunk Day season! You're always supposed to be ready with a camera. Noobs. <----I'd go down and film it but someone stole my camera out of the Rodge Lodge. Anyone feel like fessing up? It was in a Lugia gameboy case.<br />

<br />
== May 2nd ==<br />
<br />
NOW WHAT?<br />
<br />
Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
Guys, this was the date of Flunk Day last year. They wouldn't do it on the exact same day twice in a row... or would they? <----CONFIRMED they would!<br />
<br />
Another dress rehearsal for the dance show? Why yes! Not Flunk Day! <--- Stop acting like dancers rule Knox's campus. They don't care. <--- Watch out, we've got a badass over here. <--- [http://weknowmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/watch-out-we-got-a-badass-over-here-meme.png Confirmed]<br />
<br />
== May 4th ==<br />
Today is National Hoagie Day, which means it is Flunk Day OBVIOUSLY<br />
<br />
9:00am Jill's email says: "THE SUN WILL BURN LIKE NEVER BEFORE." The weather channel projects this to be in the 80s. Flunk Day? Maybe... <----FALSE. They don't know the weather predictions when they choose the date <-- No, but the email was sent yesterday, wasn't it? <---- I am laughing at how idiotic the person said false to this is, really use you're brain and think about chronology. Isn't this supposed to be a school for smart people? <-- *your<--ummm, pretty sure she's just trying to make an end-of-times reference while telling us to wear some flunking sunscreen. <br />
<br />
<br />
A Call To Rise: Dance Ensemble Show happening at 7:30pm. Not Flunk Day. <--- Not true. Flunk Day has been on the same day as a dress rehearsal for a dance show in the past. There were plenty of trash cans available in case someone had to vomit<----- Not a dress rehearsal. AN ACTUAL SHOW! Lots of time and money has already gone into putting this show on and lots of people would be pissed if it happened this day. Not Flunk Day <-- Good point about the show. Perhaps not today! <-- Tech and Dress Rehearsals are fair game, but the actual show is not. It's an academic performance, and cannot be rescheduled.<br />
<br />
== May 5th ==<br />
For the first time in Knox history, Flunk Day will be held on a ''Saturday''. Teresa Amott's installation will begin with the usual speeches and fanfare, when suddenly Zombie Lincoln will parachute in with a ghetto blaster and declare, "THIS TRULY IS . . . THE FINAL FLUNK!" at which he will begin a playlist consisting of every Flunk-themed song remake ever made. The Final Flunk will continue through every day until the end of term. Everyone will get As. Teresa will not only be known as Knox's first lady president, but also Knox's dopest president. <-- CONFIRMED! The DOPEST!<br />
<br />
== May 7th ==<br />
Today will be FLUNK DAY!<br />
<br />
This is going to be the start of the first week with Teresa as our new president. What better way to celebrate with Flunk Day?? It will be her first Flunk day EVER and her first as the president!<br />
<br />
If Flunk Day is any day this week, it's going to be WAY too late. Everyone will be so flunking drained from getting their hopes up that we'll all just be cranky and tired. <-- CONFIRMED. I'm doing my homework all day if it's this late, yo. <---It's been this late before! Flunk day was on May 8th in 2007, May 7th in 2001 and May 6th in 2009<br />
<br />
My boss (one of the custodial workers) told me that Teresa doesn't want Flunk Day to be before her inauguration. It is a national event and she wants to keep the campus nice. . .<br />
<-- As much as I hope we don't have to wait that long, it makes the most sense. This is a big Knox event. Teresa is only the 19th president in 175 years and the first women to be president of Knox. All eyes will be on the campus and I doubt her and the other up and ups would want the campus looking like it just got hit by a natural disaster before the big day.<br />
<br />
This whole week is installation week; all sorts of things planned to celebrate her installation. Little chance it will be this week <-- do you think these were planned when the date was picked? The website an emails just recently announced what is happening... Wouldn't it be funny if Flunk day Flunks with the presidents events! <---You're thinking of the previous week. All the installation stuff precedes the actual installation, which is on May 5th. <---- No, they're right. Installation week lasts until May 11th, with many many senior presentations and an honors banquet to show off our school to alums and trustees. Flunk is very unlikely to happen this week. http://www.knox.edu/knox-presidential-installation/schedule-of-events.html <--the 8th and 10th look pretty free. The playwrights' workshop was planned later than flunk, and is probably on the schedule because creative writing faculty shot down the "showcase" that was supposed to be that day, BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T GIVEN ENOUGH TIME<br />
<br />
Installation week goes until May 9 and has been scheduled since forever. Whether or not specific events are planned for this day, there will be a ton of important people and alumni in town. Chances of Flunk Day being today? ZERO POINT ZERO ZERO PERCENT.<br />
<br />
== May 8th ==<br />
What are these fake showcases? Will they wait until Teresa is officially our President to bring the flunk? <---yes! there is too much planning that goes into events like the installation to flunk it up with Flunk Day. <br />
<br />
May 8th is the perfect Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
== May 9th ==<br />
Once again, only meditation..is it too late for flunk? <---It is never too late for FLUNK. When will you people learn. Goddamn it!!! There is no hope for this world if you can't wrap your infant like brain around this!<br />
<br />
Arnold Salgado wishes for this day to be flunk day! => so too does one Johnathan Powers! or it is at least his speculation of the final flunk...<br />
<br />
Did anyone else get an email about a leadership dinner? isn't this how friars were notified years ago?? does this mean I am a friar??? <-- Yes. It means you are a friar. You're supposed to shave your head and show up with a white t-shirt for the event. If you don't shave your head, they won't let you be a friar.<---Last year friars were notified via text. This event is connected to the Honors Banquet which is May 9th. It in no way shape or form is obviously a friar thing. If anything, Jil Gates sent out the email to throw people off.<--- seems like the lady doth protest too much<br />
<br />
== May 10th ==<br />
Another "showcase" or flunk?? <--Showcase CANCELED! THIS COULD BE HUGE!!<--COnfirmed. Does the obvious "CANCELLED" label instead of removal mean something?<br />
<br />
Playwright's Workshop was added to the calendar, but if they waited that long to send it in, it won't FLUNKing matter!<br />
<br />
<br />
LATEST FLUNK DAY EVER, GET READY! IT WILL FEEL LIKE THE END OF TIMES BECAUSE OF ALL OF THE BUILD-UP!<br />

<div>'''FLUNK DAY HAS BEEN CONFIRMED. BITCHES. ''' <br />
<br />
Flunk Day 2011 was held on February 1, during the snowpocolypse. The real kicker was, no one noticed until noon, even the administration. The friars' were on the ball this year! hah<br />
<br />
They're sending out the safety e-mail awfully late, aren't they? Perhaps they're going to pull another, send-it-out-Flunk-Day-is-the-next-day.<br />
<br />
CONFIRMED: Safety lessons for the first years have been completed!<br />
<br />
<br />
How is flunk day season starting with no mud pit digging? Seriously, buy a shovel, use your hands, steal spoons from the caf... Get it together, kids.<br />
essential: get yo walmart soil and water buckets ready!<br />
<br />
==Important Flunk Day Facts==<br />
It's time to remind everyone of important Flunk Day facts:<br />
<br />
1) Seniors are full of lies, especially [[Bob Saget]]<br />
<br />
2) The Friars are don't know they're Friars until they're taken for Flunk Day. Any Senior is a potential Friar.<br />
<br />
3) Oft repeated 'signs' of Flunk Day are nothing more than Red Herrings (mowing lawns, canceling classes, field trips, events, games). Unless these are events planned well in advance they are not considered by Flunk Day planners.<br />
<br />
4) Your professors, supervisors, RAs, and other authority figures do not know when Flunk Day is.<---- ''Campus security found out the day of Flunk over spring break''. Most of them work other jobs and must clear their schedules for the entire day of festivities [ie. alcoholism]. <br />
<br />
5) Don't rely on the forecast. Rain just helps in the making of the mud pit.<br />
<br />
6) Seriously, don't trust seniors.<br />
<br />
7) Trust no one.<br />
<br />
8) Question everything.<br />
<br />
9) Flunk day is ''always'' tomorrow.<br />
<br />
==Flunk Day [http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/23/flunkdayplaners.jpg Planers]==<br />
who are the known flunk day [http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/23/flunkdayplaners.jpg Planers]? What are their schedules? What are their habits?<br />
*[[Britt Anderson]]: Lives in Tompkins, very near [[Jil Gates]]. Much potential for shady business. Often seen going running. Spends a lot of time in GDH and in Martha.<br />
*[[Martha Baumgarten]]: She is the TA of Advanced Comp T/Th from 10:40 to 11:50am. Lives off campus in the grey apartments across from the Quickie. Her roommate is [[Caroline Coatney]]. After [[Sam Martone]] did it, she started a twitter. Here's a [http://twitter.com/#!/martha_my_deer/ link]<br />
*[[Jack Moore]]: One of the tallest kids on campus. Trainer. Can often be seen riding a 'gator' around campus. Also a member of GQ.<br />
*[[Celestina Agyekum]]: She lives in the Admissions Suite in [[Four-Name]] and is choreographing for [[Terp]] this term.<br />
*[[Rachel Hautzinger]]: NOT a Flunk Day [http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/23/flunkdayplaners.jpg Planer]but may have been one if she hadn't been abroad, so maybe they tell her stuff anyways.<br />
*[[Roger Taylor '63]]: In a surprise "last-hurrah" move, Rog decided that he wanted to be a part of the planning this year. So far his ideas have been limited to gathering campus together to hear the speech on how he met his wife "just one last time!" Roger isn't going to work here after next year so you know hes gettin tanked and gunna grind up on every piece of pussy he can find. Look for him passed out on Old Main lawn half naked covered in permanent marker penises. <br />
*[[Alex Steven Hall]]: He is the coordinator of kickin buttocks. He has 3 years of valuable experience in the butt kicking field. He has an overweight, but adorable cat name Mr. Bojangles. He's actually a she. It is rumored that Ms. Kitty Bojangles is the oracle that brings the good news of flunk day to Alex every year. Both his parents work at the school.<br />
<br />
==The Flunk Day Gift==<br />
...is Willy Wonka chocolate bars containing golden tickets!<br />
<br />
There have been CONFIRMED sightings of these boxes of sugary delights being stored in the mailroom. Not the caf - THE MAIL ROOM. <br />

<br />
==Friars==<br />
Sam and Martha were in the gallery at dinner today claiming that the Senior who donates the most to save the Wiki Fire will automatically be a Friar. Shady or awesome?<br />
<br />
Fun Friar Facts:<br />
<br />
1) Friars come out BEFORE the e-mail. And normally not just a little before, anywhere up to 20 minutes before, in the age of Xavier, the dean of flunk, you would have to wait and be uncertain.<br />
<br />
2) Seniors are Friars, sounds like a no-brainer, but some folks seem confused still<br />
<br />
3) Once they take seniors, they take their phones, no communicating. Which means if you cant get a hold of a bunch of seniors sometime around 1 or 2...it MIGHT be flunk day.<br />
<br />
4) Friars are loud...very loud...if you've heard a scare you are beginning to get what to expect.<br />
<br />
5) Friars tend to be drunk and as such have a short life expectancy, if you miss your time on the flunk day friar express, be very sad<br />
<br />
'''Who are the Friars this year? So we know who to watch'''<br />

==Thursday, April 7==<br />
I have a paper due next Wednesday. Obviously, Flunk Day is tomorrow.<br />
I've seen a few alumni in town, tomorrow must be flunk day.<br />
<br />
LUKAS SHAW SAID HE WAS GOING TO POOP IN THE MUD PIT!!!! IF YOU SEE HIM PUNCH HIM IN THE ARM!!!...in other news...flunk day is next thursday<-----LIES!<br />
<br />
The Choreographer's Workshop show starts next Thursday and the week after that is the Dance Residency with Margi Cole and the COLEctive<br />
<br />
==Wednesday, April 13==<br />
<br />
CONFIRMED - mailroom is locked but there is movement in the mailboxes behind the doors!<br />
<br />
CONFIRMED- admissions counselor Sarah Colangelo was told to call prospies and cancel tours tomorrow -->>it's admitted students day tomorrow -->>Dude, tomorrow is Thursday. Admitted students day is Friday. -->> NONE of the students in the admitted students suite have a list of students who are coming and they usually get it a week in advance<br />
^false^ admissions suites are gonna have a crapton of prospies, and I sincerely doubt they would have flunk day on/around admitted students day<br />
<br />
Chris Johnson made up a computer program to predict Flunk Day and it predicted either tomorrow or May 4 and he got into MIT's computer science program. -->> so? the safety e-mail isn't out yet -->> in past years the safety e-mail has come out the day of, Sam Martone tweeted about it. -->> That's legit regardless of when FD is.<br />
<br />
It's going to be too cold. They won't do it yet. Jeez. Freshmen. -->> There were two record breaking highs this week. We're having the highest temperatures since the 1970's. Check the weather report.<br />
<br />
MAILBOXES BEING STUFFED. REPEAT. MAILBOXES BEING STUFFED. *Wonders how many freshmen are running to the mailroom* --> Seriously, the planners were dumb last year and got video taped stuffing the boxes at 11:30. The planners this year wouldn't be dumb enough to stuff them at 10:00. Maybe they were figuring that no one would be paying attention since no email yet?<br />
<br />
CONFIRMED- Kieth in dish room (reliable from previous years) says that Flunk Day will be tomorrow. Extra food was brought in on previous shipment. Related: extra candy was stocked during last C Store delivery. -->> they were selling new candy in the gizmo today (the gummy lifesaver things) too it must have come in from somewhere. Keith doesn't work here anymore.<br />
<br />
Someone should check in town, hotels, wallmart, etc. for carnival equipment.<br />
<br />
Someone has a camera on their phone. Go get a video or picture of stuffed mailboxes. -->> Can't doors are locked. --> The doors have windows in them, the mail boxes have windows in them. They got video last year. -->> I live in seymur I checked my mail at 8 p.m. and it was locked they'd be done by now<br />
<br />

<br />
^ Do you live in Galesburg? We're at the intersection of 74, 34, and 150. Trucks pull off and park overnight ALL THE TIME. What's the sign on the truck say? Trucks alone mean nothing.<br />
<br />
The seniors are at Senior bowling tonight. Someone check the lanes or at least make sure the shuttles actually bring them back.<br />
<br />
'''Spotted''': known planner Celestina is going to bed. Tomorrow is not Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
==Thursday, April 14==<br />
Willy Wonka bars were received at Knox on Wednesday April 13th. Also, there is NOTHING scheduled on the 14th. Flunk Day?<br />
<br />
Willy Wonka is already drunk. Flunk Day is today. <--- You are my favorite.<br />
<br />
The mud pit has gone from awkward lumpy grass to awkward lumpy dirt clumps. Conger/Neal has also summoned a TORNADO to aid in the mud pit digging process.<br />
<br />
==Monday, April 18==<br />
The safety email has gone out the morning of Flunk Day at-least on one occasion.<br />
<br />
The safety email is officially sent out. Though not as humorous as previous emails sent out by Xavier, the meaning is the same: Flunk Day IS tomorrow.<br />
<br />
Today and tomorrow are Passover and yesterday was the beginning of Holy Week leading up to Easter. We ain't gonna Flunk this week. -->Since when has Knox planned around religious events.<br />
<br />
11:55am: Roger Taylor was just standing on cherry street across from the old jail and an unmarked SUV stopped and then sped away. Roger was no longer standing there. Clearly a secret flunk day rendezvous with willy wonka himself is taking place.<br />
<br />
==Tuesday, April 19==<br />
Safety email on Monday, Flunk Day has to be Tuesday!<br />
<br />
<br />
10:48 PM, flashlights spotted in the mailroom. it better not be flunk day tomorrow. but seems like it is...--> Clearly, all sign are pointing towards tomorrow being flunk day<br />
<br />
Just ran into Helmut in the restroom down the hall from founders. Depsite the funny accent, why is he here?<br />
<br />
out at walmart. seems like we are not the only once to get booze. '''This could be HUGE!'''<br />
<br />
12:27 AM it is confirmed. Flunk Day is tomorrow Helmut spotted AGAIN in the CAF..''' IT IS FLUNK DAY TOMORROW.'''... whoever had the idea: nice job but way early!<br />
<br />
FLUNK DAY IS NOT KOSHER FOR PASSOVER.<br />
<br />
Martha Baumgarten (Sr. Flunk Day Planner) seen drinking at Sigma Chi at 11:23PM, time for you to start too! (Confirmed)--> That would make it too obvious...<br />
<br />
All of these artciles have saved me a lot of headaches.<br />
<br />
==Thursday, April 21==<br />
<br />
Women's tennis meet with Dubuque canceled because they "couldn't come." Why couldn't they come and why did they just back out now? Suspicious.<-- The match was never listed on Dubuque's schedule, only on Knox's. Sketchy. <-- Messaged a girl on the Dubuque team. She said they were never scheduled to come to Galesburg.<--So it's obvious that the game was never scheduled for realz. Is this just a ploy, that was built into the schedule, to throw us off?<br />
<br />
Again, Choreographer's Workshop opens that night. Not gonna happen this week <------does anyone know for a fact that the planners agreed to this?<---- They can't do it on a show day, because then all of the work the student's put together, on any show, it wasted. It'd be a bull shit move if it were on Thursday.<----I'm not saying it's fair but they have made "bullshit" moves before <br />
<br />
Overheard Debbie Southern in the Rog Lodge: "I haven't written the email yet, I've got to get on that." What's the hurry Debbie?<br />
<br />
Friar texts are out. Senior meeting is tonight. Coincidence?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
~ Talked to THE SOURCE TODAY. Flunk Day is '''SOONER''' than expected. But later than some assumed.<--Please elaborate about who "The Source" is. ....>>>>Saw Helmut talking about it (How often can you say Flunk in a dialog if you arent talking about it) today in his language (austrian ? german ?) to another person. Girl behind me said she kept understanding "Tomorrow".<br />
-->> omg i did see that too! But ok just because u heard them talking it doesn't mean it's true.<br />
<br />
<br />
HyVee catering van seen leaving Seymour loading dock around 1:30. '''> CONFIRMED (Would they be that stupid?) -->> Pi Phi's had their Founder's Day Dinner, which is a catered event and could account for this. -->> At 1:30 am?? Smells like Flunk Day.''' <-- This was posted this afternoon, referring to 1:30 PM.<br />
<br />
Overheard certain seniors talking about receiving a friar txt on 4/20. Overheard other seniors being pissed about not getting friar txts.''' -> CONFIRMED'''<br />

Flunk day is Thursday!<br />
<br />
<br />
>Flunk Day Shirts are in the Mail! ''Why distribute them already if it aint '''flunk day''' tomorrow?''<br />
<br />
<br />
Pasta Night on a Tuesday and Breakfast for Dinner on a Wednesday? Now they're just messing with us.<br />
<br />
Unconfirmed reports of Seniors disappearing from Cirque trip. Friars?<-- Cirque just got out. Too fascinating a show to be bothered with texting people back. Try again in 5 minutes.<br />
<br />
Has there been mudpit activity? Peeps better get on it; Flunk day def. tomorrow. Heard seniors are loading up on pallets of Key Stone, etc. <---Pallets?! Do you know much "Key Stone" is in a pallet?<br />
<br />
OVERHEARD IN CAFE, a bunch of basketball players asked if JACK MOORE was going to senior night, he responded "no, too much work to do", both the senior planners are on the trip to Cirque Du Soliel, and the other junior planner doesn't drink... THIS IS HUGE!!! This is awesome!<br />
<br />
THURSDAY'S PERFORMANCE OF CONNECTIVE TISSUE CANCELLED DUE TO "DAMAGED EQUIPMENT IN STUDIO THEATER." <---FALSE<--- Two of the dancers of connective tissue think velociRUPtors are more likely to eat you than the canceling of Connective Tissue <---- Production Manager of Connective Tissue says you're full of shit. Both dress rehearsals ran smoothly, gels are fine, lights are fine, dancers are fine. Suck it.<br />
<br />
Anyone who has read the past years' Flunk Day pages knows the picture that was just posted is complete BS. Thinking tomorrow isn't FD and everyone is getting worked up.<br />
<br />
I tasted the earth near the mud pit and the result was salty. This foretells the imminent trampling of the ground by many muddy feet. FLUNK DAY!<br />
<br />
zomg zomg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMF0E-wU0Us THIS IS HUGE<--Clearly video from last year. <br />
<br />
11:30PM- JACK MOORE WALKING TOWARDS THE QUICKIE WEARING A BLACK HOODIE trying to cover his face, I thought he said he had to get work done. SOMEONE BUM RUSH HIM AND SEE WHAT HE's UP TOO!!!!<br />
<br />
11:14 pm - Helmut seen leaving the caf.Image:P1040096.JPG<br />
This is the same picture from last year!!!!!! <- no it isn't <- confirmed <- At least save and upload a new copy of the photo so its not time stamped when you click on it. <- confirmed <- NOT CONFIRMED '''should have done a better job with copying the picture from the 2009 FLUNK DAY - It clearly was removed by the user in the 2009 post and reloaded in the 2011 post.'''''<br />
<br />
Flunk Day shirts seen in mail boxes. <== CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
Just got a mysterious phone call, caller id said "unknown number". Tomorrow is flunk day.<br />
<br />
Someone just screamed in the vicinity of Seymour/Post Lawn. Flunk Day or midterms? You decide.<br />
<br />
Empty fifth of Captain in the stall of the men's room by the Rog Lodge. The Flunk Gods have given their sign.<br />
<br />
Scratched My ass...Flunk is Tomorrow!<br />
<br />
Today is the TRIO trip to Chicago, it's been on the schedule since forever i.e. way before fall term so today is NOT Flunk Day!<- Flunk Day doesn't give a shit about TRIO. FLUNK DAYYYYY!!!!<br />
<br />
Definitely el dia de flunk my friends!<br />
<br />
- Cab driver said it was going to be a "big day". Does Knox make sure cabs know when to drive drunk students?<br />
<br />
- 'Goldenticket' is trending on Twitter. ITS FLUNK DAY BITCHES<br />
<br />
It's 4:57. No email. Still desperately holding out hope, but the friars pretty much would have had the whole place in an uproar by now if it were Flunk Day. Sad daaaaaay. Is there not even going to be a scare?! I'm gonna be pretty pissed if there isn't a scare, at least. <<there is your scare. do you hear them? they are very loud. 5:23. Last year the email wasn't out til 6, anyway. <---SCORE!! Thanks for pulling through scarers and/or Flunkers. :D Email? Email?!! Email now?! If it's just a scare, it's a really good one.<br />
<br />
Persistent scare...<br />
<br />
Just called campus safety: not flunk day.<br />
<br />
confirmed. time to go to bed.<br />
<br />
So scares are starting, flunk day is coming!<br />
<br />
So, Anna Meier is interviewing Martha and Britt right now in the Gizmo. FLUNK DAY is being talked about... potential interview for the TKS. Potentially not... potentially dropping hints. Flunk Day will most certainly be next week, judging by their body language and facial expressions. Nervousness seems to be peaking.<br />
<br />
==Friday, April 22==<br />
I really hope [[Flunk Day]] doesn't happen before this, because I need to get paid so I can buy [[alcohol]].<br />
<br />
Also, this likely means [[Flunk Day]] will happen before this day ("pay day"), because then too many students will be too broke to get drunk.<br />
<br />
JACK MOORE seen in the Gizmo rushing to get "WORK" done!... UB planners seen buying alcohol at WalMart. Coincidence...I think not. EL DIA DE FLUNK BITCHES!!!<-- Glad to see you've got time travel worked out.<-- Time travel = El Dia de Flunk?? :O<br />
<br />
Flunk Day is never on a Friday. We will have to wait until next week.<br />
<br />
Birds heard chirping from Neifert House around 2 am. This means that Flunk day can't happen today or over the next 5 weekdays. <br />
<br />
==Monday, April 25==<br />
Softball with MacMurray College CANCELED.<br />
<br />
Today, Saturday the 23rd, overheard Britt Anderson talking about the stress of Flunk Day planning and how she hoped everything goes well.... seems to be really on her mind this week!<br />
<br />
Overheard Debbie Southern talking to Heather Poppy about how she "hopes that no one gets hurt in that mud pit". They sounded as though they were concerned with the near future.<br />
<br />
Trudy the caf worker was complaining about storing the big food order that just came in because it makes it hard to order the regular stuff for the week. <--- Eddie, who orders all the food, got the flunk day menu last Wednesday. Flunk soon?<br />
<br />
Upper post resident spotted eating calendar. <--CONFIRMED!<br />
<br />
Gizmo worker spotted random old man, why would he be here on a Easter Sunday night and lingering around the Gizmo ordering weird things while looking out of the window??<-----Prolly a crackhead got ahold the wrong stuff <----- Not a crackhead, he was surveying the lawns and looking at his watch. Coincidence? I think not! ---> AND then he sat in founders at one of the computers??!? Killing TIME PERHAPS??? <---------Knew the old man was not involved in Flunk Day!!! How is one old man eating grilled cheese with pickles connected to Flunk Day???? <br />
<br />
10:45 PM - Activity in the mail room! Tomorrow IS Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
11:40ish PM Trashbags over mailroom door windows <--- Evidence, please? <--- Go to the mailroom and see for yourself. lazy. <--- Trash bags have been removed, but left carelessly on the bench. THIS COULD BE HUGE.<br />
<br />
Flunk Day does not exist. <---- CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
Prospies are on campus and they are not robots. Flunk Day is not today. <--- how do you know they aren't robots <-- there were prospies on campus during last years Flunk day. They had their purple folders and everything. <br />
<br />
<br />
Now Softball with Lakeforest College got CANCELED too <-- Considering it's supposed to POUR RAIN all day tomorrow, I'm not surprised. <br />
<br />
Garbage bags were on Mail Room Windows and are now taken down, <---- CONFIRMED<br />
Sam Martone overheard in Gizmo, no Friar-texts as of 11 p.m.<br />
<br />
Ben Reeves, official Flunk Day prediction for April 25, 60%. Paul C. Flunk Day algorithm returns tomorrow as a possible Flunk Day. May 2 most probable, however.<br />
<br />
11:40 PM Video proof of mailroom activity<br />
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ<br />
---> I got *actual* footage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CD2LRROpph0 <---NOT FUNNY -_-<br />
<br />
Celestina, FLUNK DAY PLANNER, was not at Terp rehearsal tonight(9-10:30 pm, & her whereabouts were unknown....plus, Sam Martone looked super sketchy as he dashed away from the Rodge Lodge around midnight.... hmmm<br />
<br />
---> who?<br />
<br />
Gabe Paz cancelled his radio show... LOL?--->he can't keep a secret, he's been dropping hints for a while...<br />

3:30 AM is weather really a factor for Flunk Day?<br />
<br />
Knox Staff seen wandering outside Post Hall at 4:31 AM. Do they always get here this early?<br />
<br />
You keep it up now, unedsrtand? Really good to know.<br />
<br />
==Wednesday, April 27==<br />
<br />
Craig Southern was notably absent from RA training. Walked in during the last ten minutes with a brand new haircut. Getting ready for flunk day photo ops? <---Confirmed. He was working too much anyways. <br />
<br />
Jill Gates rushed the end of RA training to be done by nine... does she want to go to bed early? Maybe she has a date? <br />
<br />
While lurking in the Old Main vents, I hovered above the women's bathroom and heard a female voice resembling Debbie Southern in between taco-in-a-bag grunts saying she's tired of dealing with (and i quote) "Flunk day shit" and that she's not looking forward to Wednesday <----- confirmed, my girlfriend claims she was in the stall next to her<br />
<br />
'''PROFESSORS DO NOT KNOW WHEN FLUNK DAY IS UNTIL THE DAY OF. Let's remember that, folks.'''<--- That's a lie. A lot of them find out through the grapevine. <---I heard it through the grapevine / Not much longer would you be mine. / Oh I heard it through the grapevine, / Oh and I'm just about to lose my mind. / Honey, honey yeah.<br />
<br />
Zen Buddhist Sitting Meditation Practice(?). Also, the date of birth of Ulysses S. Grant, aka Lincoln's BFF. Flunk day is obviously April 27th. (This is by far the best reasoning I've ever heard for Flunk Day.)<br />
<br />
Overhead in Gizmo on 4/19/2011: A Campus Safety office was overheard saying he was scheduled for eight extra hours on some unspecified day this week. EIGHT EXTRA FLUNK DAY HOURS???<br />
<br />
Cleaning lady talked about two professors canceling classes for this day and that the cafeteria almost had all the flunk day food. Knox Cleaning staff got the inside scoop.<-----This is confirmed!<br />
<br />
Jil Gates is MYSTERIOUSLY UNAVAILABLE to meet any time today. Come on. COME ON.<---This is confirmed. She's refusing to meet until Friday.<br />
<br />
Kathleen Drake also "unavailable" until Thursday. She wanted to meet with a student this week but would only meet Thursday or Friday. Fishy, fishy... <-- THIS IS HUGE!!!<br />
<br />
Random sports event canceled by another college. When students at said college are asked why, they reply that "[sports event] never was planned." <br />
<br />
Professor Polite doesn't have a film viewing scheduled for his Philosophy and Fantasy class, even though there has been one every Wednesday this term. THIS COULD BE HUGE! <--not important. Polite gives movie days off for funsies during fall term, too<br />
<br />
Nothing substantial happening this day...It's going to happen today so that it does not interfere with Lincoln fest or the dance performance. --What about Caxton Club? <--Indeed. And this lady is coming from New York. Which is kind of a big fucking deal. Which casts much doubt on the probability of Flunk Day happening this day. <-- But this most likely wasn't planned far enough in advance. Bigger things have been screwed over before..<--- Confirmed by Professor Hellenga that this editor's arrival was planned after Flunk Day. It will not effect the flunk date.<br />
<br />
Overheard common senior meeting frequenter saying they would not be attending senior meeting this week, FOR NO REASON. Clearly it's because flunk day is this day.---Roger threatening to cancel future senior meetings? Ploy for Flunk Day??<br />
<br />
Student worker was told "See you on Friday"... She normally works on Wednesdays too <--Can you confirm? This could be huge<br />
<br />
<br />
Dead squirrels on the ground. Earth worms rising up. FLUNK DAY? <===Flunk Day for earthworms. I bet they are the flunkiest worms.<===Dead squirrels are from the wrath of Olivia Williams <=== she even ate it<br />
<br />
1:40pm Debbi Southern seen riding with campus safety in golf cart surveying the mud pit<----NOT TRUE. I live next to the mud pit and Debbie was not "surveying" it at 1:40.<--- NOT not true, you mean to tell me you notice EVERYTHING, ALL the time that goes on outside, just because you live there? I was just standing next to the mud pit. What do I look like?<=== You look STUPID, Debbie Southern was NOT by the mud pit. I guard that shit, I'd know.<--- You don't guard SHIT, because I SAW Debbi Southern riding with campus safety in a golf cart<br />
<br />
1pmish Mowing of the lawns despite wet grass/a bit of rain too.<br />
<br />
Also around 1: Kathleen Drake seen walking around the quads, near the mud pit...<-- She doesn't know when it is and is the supervisor of Quads so it makes sense she'd be around<--Actually, She is the supervisor of the quads AND knows when Flunk Day is.<--- Jil Gates is the only person in Campus Life who knows when Flunk Day is<--I had a conversation with Jillian and she was super bummed because she was the only one of the 4 supervisors to not know. <---- I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE ANYMORE<--- KATHLEEN KNOWS, Jillian doesn't<br />
<br />
Tuesday, 3PM- Power goes out in Post. Must be Flunk Day <--- CONFIRMED. Power also went out in SMC. Flunk day re-boot?<br />
<br />

<br />
Calendar next to Gizmo register has April 27th marked as Flunk Day. Coincidence? Could this be huge? Alert Admiral Ackbarr <-- IT'S A TRAP!<br />
<br />
There are overnight prospies, though. No chance tomorrow is Flunk Day.<--------- Actually, there are no perspective students here overnight. Prospective students were here on Monday.<--Can you confirm? This could be huge! <---- This is untrue. While there were prospectives overnight Sunday/during the day Monday, there are 2 overnights scheduled for tonight (Tuesday night) and 3 for Wednesday night. The Wednesday ones are sketchy though. FLUNK DAY IS THURSDAY, SPREAD THE WORD PEOPLE<-- I overnighted on a FLunk day as a prospie. this means nothing, just that they are lucky fucks! I second that! there were prospies here last year on flunk day!<---There are 8 prospies tomorrow...i wish i would've came on flunk day. rough.<br />
<br />
FLUNK DAY IS DEF TOMORROW <------FRESHMAN! SMH<br />
<br />
Prof. that previously said we would have class if FD landed on a Weds said that if it were tomorrow, class is cancelled Thursday. What does this MEAN??<-----------Which prof? please say Fineberg!<br />
<br />
Extra trash bags delivered to various places on campus.<----what does it MEAN?<---Where were they delivered?<-- Trash bags are used to keep everything from getting muddy. You tape them to the floor to prevent costly damage.<-- RA's<br />
<br />
Spotted: Flunk Day [http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/23/flunkdayplaners.jpg Planers] Martha and Britt at Discount. They were in search of a particular type of tequila that Discount did not have in stock. The man who was working told them that it would be in Thursday. They said that was not it time. They needed it today. CONFIRMED FLUNK DAY IS TOMORROW! <---Please confirm THIS COULD BE HUGE!<--- It says CONFIRMED! THIS IS HUGE!!!<br />
<br />
Random constipated-looking stranger enters the [[Rog Mahal]] with a box and leaves without it. <-- Refilling the vending machines. Tomorrow is Flunk Day.<--- Did you get a free bomb?<br />
<br />
Jil and Kathleen disappeared early from office today. Where'd they go? THIS COULD BE HUGE<--- CONFIRMED, they were both out of the office when I went in there at 2:30 <--- CONFIRMED Jil just spotted going into the Campus Life Office at 6:15pm.... Flunk day MUST be Tomorrow!<---'''SOMEONE STALK JIL ALL NIGHT'''<br />
<br />
Overheard that Flunk Day will be a good way to celebrate the Royal Wedding...which is on Friday!<-- Stupid, Flunk Day will NEVER be on a Friday <---NO, the Royal Wedding is on Friday...the comment was implying that FD would therefore be this week!<br />
<br />
There was a massive rainbow outside Target today, which means flunk day has to be tomorrow.<--- Was it a TRIPLE RAINBOW????<--- Who are you? What are you doing at Target? Getting a Flunk Day stash? HUH?? HUHHHH??????<br />
<br />
Best be getting that mud pit ready tonight, just in case... Come on, Freshmen, I even started it for you. Do your job.<br />
<br />
3:40 pm: Large shipment received in the mailroom via Fed Ex Ground. The two workers there were suspicious when the package was for Campus Life. Even more suspicious when Jil had to knock on the door in order to pick up the package after the doors were locked at 4. She said it was "really important" and she "forgot the mail room closed at 4 pm". Why so desperate, Jil?<-----THIS IS HOW WE KNEW LAST YEAR! Most of the time when big packages come in they wait until the next day to get delivered by Casual Labor, but if it can't wait until tomorrow morning....!!<br />
<br />
4 p.m. Tuesday: Campus safety seen WALKING campus in groups.<-- CONFIRMED <--- DOUBLE CONFIRMED!!! <-- Campus safety walks around a lot, so this means absolutely nothing.<br />
<br />
Between 5 and 6pm: Xavier Romano spotted at Target! Back for El Dia de Flunk!<br />
<br />
5:45 PM Flunk day damages warning email sent to small houses!<--confirmed.<-------------THIS IS HUGE<--DOUBLE CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
5:46 PM Flunk day damages done to small houses.<------Wait, you did damage ALREADY?<br />
<br />
Professors have been cancelling class thursday for several reasons that seem to come out of nowhere... Perhaps a way to cancel class and not have to come to campus to see drunken students?<--Professors don't know any more than we do<br />
<br />
Martha has been asking in casual conversations if some seniors were going out tonight...making sure they will be around for the senior call?!<br />
<br />
Senior meeting is tomorrow...but you cant register parties ON CAMPUS!, perfect way to let seniors who are friars and pass out early, get their night time party on<br />
<br />
Calendar is clear for Wednesday except for Caxton Club...Nancy Miller would TOTALLY be up for the mud pit... <-- Nancy Miller is also talking to Sean Mills's class on Thursday, which means that even if she can't talk for Caxton Club, she'll still have something to do on campus. Not that the Flunk Day [http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/23/flunkdayplaners.jpg Planers] would care, but some people on Facebook have been saying that it can't be tomorrow because she'd be coming for nothing, which is false.<br />
<br />
Pasta night usually on wednesday, but falls tonight in the oak room... flunk day-induced menu rearrangement? <-- CONFIRMED, Flunk Day is tomorrow. <--DOUBLE CONFIRMED, maybe they will reuse the uneaten garlic bread for FLUNK DAY!? Just maybe... <-- guys, they did this last week. either they are trying to mess with us hard core... or... no they are trying to mess with us hard core. flunk day is not tomorrow. <br />
<br />
6:08 pm- Look how fast those clouds are moving! The flunk day gods are moving ALL the clouds away from campus for ideal flunk day conditions! <-- CONFIRMED<--DOUBLE CONFIRMED, Zeus loves flunk day<br />
<br />
WORD on the street is that there is going to be a MASS mud-pit digging operation in the middle of the night. Coincidence, or PREPARATION FOR FLUNK DAY!?<br />
<br />
5:20pm- Two Caf workers were spotted leaving their shift early, perhaps to return later that night to help prepare FLUNK DAY BREAKFAST?<br />
<br />
Tomorrow is the day with the best weather this week and next week (not including Fridays), therefore FLUNK DAY IS TOMORROW! <---Weather is irrelevant! <br />
<br />
Alumni Email Recieved. <-- Confirmed <--Post a screenshot for proof!<-- sorry cwicklif sent it to. . . natural reaction is to hit delete <--'''CAN ANYONE CONFIRM THIS?!?????'''<br />
<br />
Isn't Dan Savage scheduled to present on the 27th? I heard they paid ridiculous amounts of money to get him to come. <---Um...? He's scheduled to be on campus on the 4th. Get with the times, youngin'.<br />

My roommate has a legitimate prospie coming tomorrow. The prospie herself confirmed it.<--- Existing prospies, yes , but they aren't going to purposefully schedule MORE.

<br />
^ YES. The [comment removed by flunk day [http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/23/flunkdayplaners.jpg Planers]] will not be ignored. The reason no Friars have been chosen is because the Friars are, in fact, the pack of [comment removed by flunk day [http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/23/flunkdayplaners.jpg Planers]].<br />

He does this for Flunk Day as well... would he really wanna do that twice in the same week?

Note- Kathleen Drake DOES NOT know when flunk day is. However, Gordon Barratt does. <---- CONFIRMED. THIS COULD BE HUGE! Gordon Barratt CLAIMS he knows because he can see Union Board's budget. But all contracts signed by the school have the dates blacked out before posted anywhere (one year a freshman in the business office saw a flunk day contract and leaked the date), so there is no way he can know for sure. Gordon is also always full of shit.<---- Okay.... So MAYBE I tried to figure it out by calling the people that Union Board contracted and posing as an event [http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/23/flunkdayplaners.jpg Planer], and MAYBE those people emailed my name and number to Jil Gates before giving me a date, so MAYBE i don't know when flunk day is..... <----- Yep, that's what you'd call full of shit. <br />
<br />
Note- Kathleen Drake may not know....but Cindy Wickliffe does.<br />

TRUCK JUST HEARD DRIVING PAST POST<br />
<br />
I can't trust any of you fools. This is Knox, cite your sources! <-- I agree with this, as a member of the Knox College Honor Board I'd like to remind everyone that since the Wiki Fire is partly funded by the school it falls under the Honor Code and that any IP linked to a fake or plagiarized source will be referred to the Honor Board. It is sad, but true, that the Board hears many cases every spring related to the wikifire. For more information please refer to the [http://www.knox.edu/documents/pdfs/honorbooklet.pdf Code] <- The Wiki Fire is not funded AT ALL by the school. Nice try. <- What's hilarious about both these posts is that EVEN IF the school funded the wikifire it wouldn't fall under the Honor Code because it's not academic work (posted by a real Honor Board member)<br />
<br />

Seniors better be smarter 'bout their Flunk Scares. If the email generally goes out around 6, a Scare an hour before ain't gonna fool anybody.<---But friars are always out BEFORE the email. Sometimes right before and sometimes quite a bit before. It's different every year. There is no set plan. Just chill out and have fun!<br />
<br />
==Thursday, April 28==<br />
<br />
'''CONFIRMED: The Frair T-shirts have come in the mail, and Jil seemed stressed yesterday about having the shirts soon, which means that Flunk Day must be extremely close. Personally, Monday seems appropriate given the stress level that appeared on Jil's face. Also, it has been CONFIRMED that a final payment went through for rental equipment earlier this week. Hopefully, they will have the trampoline bounce cord thing again! Flunk Day is upon us. Monday is my guess...'''<br />

<br />
The softball double header was cancelled for the 28th<br />
There will be golfers golfing on this day, but the planners don't seem to really care about golf too much.<br />
<< NO ONE cares about golf ... just sayin'<br />
<br />
Today, (april 14) Helmut said that he does not know the date of flunk day, and that they will only inform him of the date two weeks before. Therefore flunk day must be on or after april 28. It is possible that helmut was just messing with me.<br />
<br />
Prof. Denial moved Hist 281 homework due date back to next week because of research reasons...<----- She gave us two extra days on the last paper.<---- Okay, valid point. <br />
<br />
<br />
Inside information from the sports information desk says that if a possible "date" were to be selected for flunk day, "I would bet all my money on April 28th"<br />
<br />
It's only been three years since they fucked over the golf team—why not do it again?!<br />
Because now we like the Golf team, two years ago it was filled with ass hole super douche bags that NOBODY liked. Let's not screw them again and let's all be thankful that those guys are GONE. <br />
<br />
It's Flunk Day [http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/23/flunkdayplaners.jpg Planer]Britt Anderson's birthday today! Hmmm... It's definitely on Britt's birthday. FLUNK DAY IS THURSDAY!<br />
<br />
Britt seemed especially stressed and worried about this week. She claims to have two "midterms". Two of her classes don't have midterms. Clearly a front. <-- Yes they do! One's on Friday! <-- That accounts for ONE midterm, when is the other?<br />
<br />
Meow. .<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Jil Gates spotted late to lunch due to a "phone call"...suspicious?'''<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Avery Wigglesworth email has an "if Flunk Day is tomorrow" clause in her rehearsal report. EVERYONE GO SEE PHAEDRA'S LOVE.<br />
<br />
There was another food truck in the Seymour loading dock today. (CONFIRMED! 9:00 AM (ish)) Food deliveries 2 days in a row? Seems awfully suspicious.<br />
<br />
Flunk Day fact vs. myth email sent out. Could today be the day!?<----- No, freshman are stupid<br />
<br />
Since Flunk Day is always tomorrow, and it wasn't Flunk Day on Wednesday, then Flunk Day is on Thursday! MY LOGIC IS FLAWLESS.<br />
<br />
<br />
So Softball tomorrow huh? Guess not! [[http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/222266_167952016596658_100001455822964_397582_5324923_n.jpg]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Myth vs. Fact email sent Wednesday, April 27th: "Thought Flunk Day would be today eh? Don’t worry- so did we!" What does THAT mean? Why wasn't it? WHY WASN'T IT?<br />
<br />
Lincoln Fest = No Flunk Day. This is a good thing peeps. It'll be next week. <--- Next Monday! Throwing ERRYBODY OFF <br />
Or LINCOLN FEST = FLUNK DAY. They've scheduled concerts before and had them as part of the flunk day schedule!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Its clearly not going to be '''Flunk Day''' tomorrow. However, someone just opened a beer '''again''', ''just in case.''<br />
<br />
3:30pm As I left SMC, Henry from the caf was wheeling in a cart of snacks. I overheard him asking a newer caf worker if he had seen the Flunk Day food yet.<--- This food was for the McNair presentations. I know, but they were ''talking'' about the flunk day food.<br />
<br />
Dance performance Thursday night, as part of the residency...would that have been planned before the FD date selection? <--- Departments are only allowed to give the FDPs so many dates and Dance chose CW (last week's show) over the residency. It would suck for them, but tomorrow COULD be Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
See how dead the wikifire is at 9:03 pm on a Wednesday evening? That's because senior meeting starts soon. Many underage students were issued tickets last week when there were too many youngins around. Now who is bold enough to come to Senior meeting underage? This is going to serve as a way to designate friars at senior meeting, with no risk of pesky underage kids finding out about the flunkage. Don't believe me? The flunk day [http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/23/flunkdayplaners.jpg Planer]s have you fooled, then.<--Who cares?<---- No one. <---No Flunk Day after Senior Meeting. Too many drunk seniors <-- flunk day after senior meeting has happened in the past, so it is possible.<br />
<br />
<br />
I just had sex with my girlfriend, so thursday must be flunk day <- CONFIRMED.<------ Sex doesn't equal Flunk. <--- This could be huge!!! <-- Or was he? <-- It was actually incredibly small, I had to bust out my microscope, kinda awkward<br />
<br />
According to Andy Civettini's analysis of Flunk Day data, Flunk Day has a 500,000,000% chance of occurring today. <- CONFIRMED. <- IT IS SCIENCE. <--- Actually a 500,000,001% chance of occurring today, get it right. Jeez.<br />
<br />
12:40AM Really? No one is posting? Come on. Entertain me. <--You are forced to die of boredom<br />
<br />
Hmm....This could be suspicious, no one thinks its flunk day. Might be flunk day......<br />
<br />
<br />
Dining lights on. 2:34 AM<br />
<br />
Well well well. looks like today could be huge. Nobody seems to suspect a thing. Also it's Britt Anderson's birthday <---- CONFIRMED.. must be FLUNK day. and a cold one at that. <br />
<br />
It's quiet outside..but what's that i hear? the flunk approaching? THIS COULD BE HUGE.<br />
<br />
The flunk day food arrived last Wednesday as detailed by a dining services worker. They can't keep that shit for more than a week or two. It's not frozen like the fucking caf food. knox is trying to kill us all? NO it's all good, bc today. today could be flunk day.<br />
<br />
'''Several MYSTERIOUS rescheduling emails sent out today to many people... WHAT DOES IT MEAN??'''<----- Um..... That Jil can not meet that day and would like to meet another day??? duh, i thought you had a knox education?<--- lol, way to get in the spirit. You a Freshie? It's obviously supposed to Flunk with our minds. Either there is a legit conflict, or she wants us to BELIEVE there is a legit conflict.<br />

==Friday, April 29==<br />
<br />
Thoughts on Friday:<br />
-There's a new Dean. Thus, new ideas are possible.<br />
<br />
-The caf definitely has the flunk menu, the list of food that they have to keep on hand for flunk day. I have personally verified this.<< personally verifying anything means jack shit on an anyonymous posting site [ex. I have personally verfied that (insert name here) has a footlong penis]. sooo... pix or it didn't happen.<br />
<br />
-Flunk Day is never, ever, ever on a Friday, so it would shock the flunk out of everyone if it WERE.<--- FALSE, it has been on a Friday ONCE in the last 23 years.<br />
<br />
-The theme is all about the impossible becoming possible.<br />
<br />
-Lincoln Fest. It's already going to be a party tomorrow, why not add flunk day?<br />
<br />
-Potentially, a Friday flunk day could be less disruptive, since no one will be skipping class on a Saturday.<--- And everyone will end up in the hospital from 2 days of solid drinking.<br />
<br />
-Roger Taylor's last year? Whether he's in on it or not, Flunk Day planners will want to make this year extra special.<br />
<br />
Yeah, and the Royal Wedding is on Friday! What what! <-- I will be awake at 4 am anyway to watch this, so I'll let you all know if Flunk Day happens. <---Me tooooo!! It's gonna be bomb.<br />
<br />
<br />
SINCE NO ONE REALLY THINKS IT IS GOING TO BE FLUNK DAY TODAY, AND CONSEQUENTLY NO ONE WILL FEEL LIKE LOOKING UP THE RECENT RUMORS, WHY NOT JUST REVEAL THAT '''FLUNK DAY IS IN 4 HOURS'''? - GUESS AT 6 AM EVERYONE WILL KNOW WHAT MAGIC WE WERE TALKING ABOUT...<br />
<br />
3:40am No sign of anything unusual at this point. Mailboxes are still visible and not stuffed. Very little activity.<br />
<br />
==Monday, May 2==<br />
<br />
'''THE FLUNK DAY THEME SONG HAS BEEN RELEASED! ITS GOTTA BE FLUNK DAY'''! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I55wNvbQQAk&feature=channel_video_title <--- this is making me seriously consider transferring schools. I'm embarrassed by it... (Do it, cmon peer pressure!)<---obviously whoever wrote this is a huge tool and will probably be staying in their room on flunk day but really I wish I was chilling with them.<---CONFIRMED. .<---DOUBLE CONFIRMED<---TRIPLE CONFIRMED--- confirmed loser nerds with no social skills or redeeming qualities talking crap on the internet anonymously.. CONFIRMED<----DOUBLE CONFIRMED<--- This song makes me want to dunk my head in a toilet bowl<---- I want to watch porn all day for flunk day because of this song This song makes me want to dance naked and run around, i'll be flunking in the mudput all day tomorrow #dirtygirl <-- You might be retarded.... Vegetarians close your eyes cuz we just went HAM OMG its like a joke on vegetarians and means HARD AS A MOTHER fUC***---- Confirmed <br />
<br />
Sam Martone said flunk day will be this day. <-- Sam Martone also sucks, and is full of shit frequently <-- CONFIRMED <--NOT DOUBLE CONFIRMED You wish you could all be as baller as him. Plus he planned some of the best parties this campus had all year <-- Debatable<br />
<br />
Monthly faculty meeting moved from today to May 9th. THIS COULD BE HUGE... no. it is rarely on a monday. at least unlikely... <---- according to a stastical analysis of 20 Years of Flunk days Monday is 24% of Flunk Days It was a Monday last year. <--- It is highly unlikely that they will have Flunk Day on two Mondays in a row. Highly unlikely. <--- Monday May 2nd equals Flunk Day. Bitches <-- they could do it Monday just to throw people off. <--Has anyone actually confirmed that the faculty meeting moved?<-- Does it matter?<br />
<br />
May Faculty meeting rescheduled from the 2nd to the 9th! Faculty say a sketchy reason was given. <== Roger rescheduled the meeting, and he doesn't know when Flunk Day is. The faculty meeting is irrelevant. <-- Silly freshmen, of COURSE Roger knows when Flunk Day is. A professor apparently told a student that it was rescheduled because "both the President and the Dean will be out of town." Hmmmm... sketchy indeed..<br />
<br />
Calendar is clear on this day.<br />
<br />
According to Andy Civettini's analysis of Flunk Day data, Flunk Day has a 51% chance of occurring this week.<br />
<br />
Senior class speaker scheduled this evening. Seniors obviously do not care if there speaker meeting is rescheduled. TODAY MUST BE FLUNK DAY <-----I heard this meeting is not real. The real senior speaker meeting is the following week. <-- False, but it was scheduled just last week, so obviously it doesn't prevent Flunk Day.<-- OR its just a way of gathering you all as Friars, which means that FLUNK DAY IS TUESDAY!<-- If it were a way of gathering Friars, there would be all of 2 Friars. So far we have 0 speakers. lmfao (please no. Lets not have a bunch of alcohol in everyones blood for wednesday's blood drive) <---There are now three people signed up to be speakers...<br />
<br />
The caf apparently has a huge shipment of flunk day food as confirmed by a Gizmo worker. Tomorrow is Flunk Day people!!! <-CONFIRMED <--DOUBLE CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
Multiple inside sources have confirmed that Monday is Flunk Day.<br />
<br />

<br />
Also, the entire Office of Student Development has computer training Tuesday-Friday of next week. They're bringing people down from Chicago to do this, so unless the staff member I talked to was just screwing with me, it's going to be Monday. <-- I heard that they originally had the training scheduled till thurs but had to extend it to fri at the last minute...I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE ANYMORE!<br />
<br />
12pm Saturday April 30 -- A truck driver asks two students crossing Cherry Street from GDH where the caf is. When questioned, truck driver reveals that they've never delivered to Knox before. Guessing they don't deliver on Sundays... <-I was just working in the caf, there was no delivery today between noon and 2 <- So they were being extra sneaky.<-- Not too sneaky. I was walking to work at 12:30 and saw the truck unloading. Someone is lyinggg...<br />

YAYY!!<---do you really think senior staff wouldn't think of that? they've been doing this for years...I say its a fake out!<----- Do this every year...I know its true...believe it or not your choice! <--They didn't do it last year. <--- Golf Club confirmed a "Knox senior staff party" is coming on Wed...

<br />
Sam Martone posted on Facebook that he's no longer as sure that Monday is Flunk Day. OBVIOUSLY he was told to reduce spreading rumors so less people know and OBVIOUSLY he wants it to be less suspicious when he DISAPPEARS AFTER MIDNIGHT!<br />
<br />
<br />
Timmi Schmeling threatened to play trombone outside Gretta Reed's window tomorrow (after Alicia Niles rudely informed him where Gretta lives), when asked if he was messing with her, gave a sly look and said "I don't know, am I?!" So he could just be using trickery, or there's a scare, or it's FLUNK DAY.<br />
<br />
Raub/Sellew maintenance worker stops in on Friday to make sure there was enough supplies for the weekend. He usually comes on Monday <---THIS COULD BE HUGE<br />
<br />
Caf food sucked at dinner. Probably because they're so busy preparing Flunk Day breakfast.<--Yes, because prepping bagels is so much more difficult than prepping regular caf breakfast.<---Hey there are eggs involved too. Those take some time...<br />
<br />
8:04 PM - Gary Coleman's ghost spotted; overheard to have shouted, "Whatchu talkin' 'bout Williston?" before disappearing into the evening mist. 8:05 PM- Britt Anderson WAS in Chapter. Last year Flunk Day was a Monday and she wasn't in Chapter the night before. She also took her time leaving... seemed in no hurry to get anywhere. <--Clearly she wouldn't make the same mistake twice!

<br />
There were also many complaints from administration and faculty last year about Flunk Day being held on Monday. It can't be on a Monday again.<br />
<br />
"The Entertainer" is heard reverberating across campus... clearly Flunk Day is tomorrow.<--Isn't that the theme song of the ice cream van?<br />
<br />
Faculty meeting cancelled on Monday was cancelled because the faculty needed more time to consider a resolution about next year's Freshman Preceptorial. Flunk Day is not the reason.<br />
<br />
8:56 PM Sam Martone Facebook post: Tomorrow will not be flunk day. I have changed my mind. I'm not sure if it will Wednesday or Thursday, but definitely not tomorrow.<---Lies, he did not post such a thing. <-- he has deleted his post <--Gah Sam Martone, way to spoil my evening.<br />

Stop your whining.<br />
<br />
Greek Philosophy is canceled tomorrow... of course, it's canceled all week. Week long flunk day? Does Brandon Polite have more info than we know??? --> It's cancelled because students are working on a paper.

Waiting.<--The carnival people have to stay a minimum of 25 miles away from Knox campus until 4am. <-- probably a good idea to prevent any carnies from joining sex god and the stallion on the pool table<br />

CERTAIN SENIORS NOT RESPONDING TO TEXT MESSAGES AND CALLS! THIS COULD BE HUGE! <--This could be bedtime <---- My roommate's missing and she's a senior!!! <---- that's not why she left... ;)<br />
<br />
12:45am: Need more updates!!! <--Honestly, I have no other excuse to not do homework. I don't care if you make something up as long as it keeps me reloading this page every five minutes. <--- Lights were on in Alumni Hall <-- I gave up on writing this paper when I started refreshing this page every minute or so. Ha. <---- CONFIRMED! I can see them from Founders! <---- It's Willy Wonka's secret Chocolate Factory <---- He's making us our very own personalized Oompa Loompas!<br />

<br />
12:57 am: Martha Baumgarten seen running from a wild pack of Velicorupters. They smelled the Flunk on her.<---- This is HUGE!!! Velociraptors = FLUNK DAY<br />

<br />
1:52am: sign posted in mailroom telling students to stay away! <------THIS COULD BE HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <--- Did anyone else see this? This would be actual evidence, if you could get a picture or something.<------CONFIRMED. Sign spotted.<br />
<br />
You are just super-clever, using the Internet to irritate people like that.<br />
<br />
If there is some sort of 'official' activity here, they ought to know that behaving this way only makes people more suspicious. If not, the students doing this need to stop this. It's dumb. <--Agreed. This is serious business. <-------HA. Official activity on the Wikifire.<br />
<br />
2:00am: and we're back! what're the updates?!?!<br />
<br />
2:05am: Someone deleted the whole post last year also because they knew that it was going to be flunk day... same thing happening now?<br />
<br />
2:08am: Lights are on at Loading Dock. Porque?!<br />
<br />
2:00am: just saw workers leaving the Gizmo after unlocking it again. <--- Well, doesn't it close at 2? Anyway, the workers wont know for around two more hours, and they'll tell the cooks first <-- The Gizmo workers get to know the night before but why would the Gizmo lights be on? It's not like the Gizmo is open on Flunk Day! <--- Do they actually turn them off ordinarily?<br />
<br />
Silly Fresh Meat should be paying more attention to the lights on over the buffet in the Cafe and the lights that are on in the back room section of the kitchen, visible from the Oak Room doors...<--- ppl need to be callin and locatin seniors! only true way to find out if it's flunk day...<--- False. Last year they didn't take the Seniors.<br />
<br />
Mail room anybody??? Just snuck down there and there was a sign asking Knox students to not observe mailroom activities on May 2nd. Lights were on.<--- Saw the sign, its probably fake though. Putting up a sign saying not to do something guarantees it's going to be done.<br />
<br />
2:30am OMG a bunch of seniors walked out of Founders! it's gotta be FLUNK DAY! <--- CONFIRMED I heard phones go off! <--- Who?!<br />
<br />
2:42am: I saw that comment before it was quickly deleted! <--- What comment? <-- It is flunk day - Super Senior<br />
<br />
3:02 am: Time to give up then?<br />
<br />
3:08am: hmm, i don't know. walking from student lounge i saw lights on in the cafeteria.<----- i thought that they were always on<br />
<br />
3:14am: :( no more updates? is today not flunk day? <---- crap, now i have to finish this paper <-- It's quiet. Too quiet. <--calm before the Flunk storm?<br />
<br />
3:19 am: Here's a little hope. I was driving around to go get some food because in the case that today is not Flunk Day I have a buttload of reading to do and I saw a truck with a long bed? with long tarps all over it. It was driving down in front of TKE/Beta when I saw it. It was headed in the direction towards GDH... 15 minutes later as I was driving out of Steak N Shake I saw the same truck with the same long bed? and tarps, but going down Henderson towards Target/Sandburg Mall. I'm crossing my fingers. Sorry if this leads to nothing, but it did seem like an odd occurrence. Also, if anyone is watching the Seymour Loading dock, the lights are on and there have been several cars in and out... sp0o0o0o0ky<br />
<br />
3:23 am: At teh quick-sams, the black dude was quick to shoot down the notion of today being teh flunks. Sam '''''himself''''' placed a bet on tuesday. Both dudes have been reliable in the past. A++++ would ask again. <--- confirmed. black dude says that today is a no - go. but he would not make eye contact. <---why would they know?<br />
<br />
Student Senate lights off at 3:48 am. im thinking monday is off. or on. depending on your pov.<br />
<br />
3:57am: Also saw people dropping stuff off at the loading docks. Halmut's lights are on at home also... however they are dim. Campus safety didn't get mad about people running around to find flunk day evidence.<br />
<br />

4:09 AM Good find. It's totes FLUNK DAY.<br />
<br />
The truck stop next to Hardee's does not have the tarp truck there.... Pictures taken at different locations, not conclusive evidence for Flunk Day. there is also a carnival near the hardee's just west of that location<br />
<br />
4:20. let's flunk. 50/50 chance at this point <--thats not how statistics work...<br />
<br />
4:45 Post cleaning staff confirms it's Flunk Day today. They saw food services people coming in. They're never here that early so they asked whether it was Flunk Day. They confirmed.<br />
<br />
4:51 On my way to Founders, heard 3 people talking about moving things in the back by Seymour loading docks. However, checked the mail room and saw no conclusive evidence of stuffed mailboxes. Still uncertain?<br />
<br />
5:05 SMC facilities say that it's Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
5:10 lights seen on in the cafeteria. not a great sign.<br />
<br />
5:10 Lights on in mailroom. The day has arrived. Gather your armies. Grab your goblets. Attack!!!! <--- LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS ON DWEEB <-- My diagnosis is retard.<br />
<br />
5:20 ohhhh shit Tubercky has been spotted shaving! START FLUNKING PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
5:23 Britt and Martha seen walking across Hamblin parking lot! <--- CONFIRM THIS. I WILL NOT DRINK TIL CONFIRMED <-CONFIRMED THAT WHEN I SEE BRITT I GET HUGE.<br />
<br />
5:30 mailroom lights on and people stuffing boxes<br />
<br />
5:30 there's a bunch of people crowded outside in front of hamblin!<br />
<br />
Just called campus safety, and they said "uhhhhh check your email, if there is then it is. iuuhhhh just check your email." They are well known to say no when it is not flunk day. Commence getting plastered.--> Confirmed, I just called and they used the same script.<br />
<br />
5:44 Seniors in the mudpit! FLUNK DAY!111<-- lies<br />
<br />
5:55 AM No email and hotline says 0 Flunk. Suspicious faculty by mud pit. Friars too drunk to make any noise?<br />
<br />
5:58 Fac Staff list got an email about Flunk Day mail room procedures. It's FLUNK DAY, BITCHES!!!<br />
<br />
Flunk day is over, go to bed.<br />
<br />
Confirmed- Best Flunk Day EVER!!!!<-- Not at all. But a good Flunk.<br />
<br />
==Tuesday, May 3==<br />
Gale Scholars are being inducted this day so it is very very unlikely for flunk day to be tuesday. Nobody is going to mess with the Gale Scholars, they are in Jr. High. So unless it is a lie that the Gale Scholars are going to be there, no flunk day.<br />
<br />
Kathleen Drake canceled meetings on this day due to "computer training"....<---Kathleen told students about this. The Campus Life office never uses the software anyways. <br />
<br />
What, it's not like they've never seen someone shitfaced. And if they haven't, it's an important part of an education. Clearly the Flunk Day Planners are trying to throw us off the scent. May 3rd is Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
Further, the Gale House is off-campus on North St. Well away from our muddy carnage. Martha's lies continue.<br />
<br />
<br />
Don’t listen to this, I know for sure it isn’t this coming tuesday. -> This coming Tuesday is April 25th.<br />
<br />
Brad Gregory, custodial manager, heard telling other staff that Wednesday is going to be a big pain in the ass! <-- I work for the janitors and i asked for extra hours for tuesday, they said they don't need anybody. They are completely understaffed!!! Flunk day for sure! <--- I want confirmation on this.<br />
<br />
Flunk Day 2008--Thursday Flunk Day 2009--Wednesday Flunk Day 2010--Monday It's time for a Tuesday Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
Discount Liquor is out of maddog. Must be Flunk DAY. <br />
<br />
Betas and Fijis seen buying alcohol at walmart. Must Be Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
James is seen hanging out with the Betas. Must be Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
<br />
MAIL ROOM ANYBODY??<br />
<br />
==Wednesday, May 4==<br />
APO's Blood Drive is on this day. Last year's Spring drive was on Flunk Day, therefore it must be the 4th! Also, 2009 and 2010 Flunk Days were ON the listed day for this Blood Drive... some girl that was in class of 2010 was flippin' shit on the bus home from the Art Field trip because of it. -->> APO's Blood Drive 2011 has NOT been cancelled and will NOT be rescheduled from the original date of May 4th unless May 4th is Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
The Dan Savage event is on this day. Why would Shag bring Dan Savage two years in a row? Someone said if events aren't sent into Student life before like March, they can't be considered to be saved from Flunk day. A. Is this true? B. When was this event scheduled? PLEASE RESPOND!!!! COULD BE HUGE!!! --> Yes, this is true, and I'm pretty sure they decided on bringing in Dan Savage waaaaay after the day for Flunk Day had been picked...-->> They sent out the survey to bring him over SPRING BREAK. How was his schedule free on such short notice?<br />
<br />
^this is obviously an elaborate ploy by Gabe Paz to get belligerently drunk with Dan Savage.<---CONFIRMED! <--This could be HUGE!<--CONFIRMED! Just spoke to a very drunk Gabe Paz in the Rog Lodge! <br />
<br />
They paid over $10,000 to bring him. Flunk Day is not May 4.--->>Or maybe he's just the evening entertainment.<----- Union Board scheduled Dan Savage wayyyy after flunk day was picked. Reportedly a business club member was upset at something about the Dan Savage event. Apparently this is in the working to be rescheduled...---> FALSE! Roger is the biggest donor to the event today is not flunk day--> Roger doesn't know when Flunk Day is so it doesn't matter! shag would get pissed --->Yeah, it would be unfortunate, but considering Flunk Day was planned before SHAG decided to bring Dan Savage in, it's not like they can do anything about it and it's not the Flunk day planners' faults.--->Roger donated before SHAG picked the date<br />
<br />
One of the Lincoln Fest artists said they talked with "inside sources." Thursday was confirmed. They were wearing last years Flunk Day shirt when they told me! This could be HUGE!!!<br />
<br />
==Thursday, May 5==<br />
'''Everyone's hoping for this day.''' <-- Confirmed. <-- Double Confirmed.<br />
<br />
since flunk day last year was so cold, the [http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/23/flunkdayplaners.jpg Planers] might plan it even later to ensure warmth. May 5th is always warm. IT'S SCIENCE.<br />
<br />
A Cinco de Mayo Flunk Day? yeah right. YEAH! RIGHT?<br />
<br />
El dia de flunk returns!!!!1<br />
<br />
CINCO DE DRINK-O! There is nothing real on the calendar. Today is Flunk day. <------ seriously. There is NOTHING on Thursday. <--- THIS COULD BE HUGE! <br />
<br />
There are a significant number of alums visiting on this day.---> didn't alums show up to last years flunk day? <--alums ALWAYS show up, and sometimes they know loooong before depending on how gossipy the [http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/23/flunkdayplaners.jpg Planers] are, get with it!<br />
<br />
'''Jil Gates sent out emails rescheduling all meetings she has today. Misinformation or n00b mistake? You decide.''' <--- misinformation, obviously<---Or purposeful information given KNOWING we would not believe it?<br />
<br />
At Women's Chorale rehearsal, when discussing back-up rehearsal days in case Flunk Day is Thursday (since we rehearse on Thursdays), Flunk Day Planner Martha Baumgarten spoke up, and suggested we move our rehearsal to Friday. A seemingly normal response, except that it came from her, out of everyone in the room. <---CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
FLUNK IS MAY 5th! Found out from one of [http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/23/flunkdayplaners.jpg Planers]!... Done deal start getting excited knox!<--- LIES, obvious ploy.<br />
<br />
It's supposed to thunderstorm Thursday. Wouldn't that be unfortunate! <-- A 1 rental company from Moline confirmed they are setting up a tent Thursday morning- 6am! TODAY is the DAY!!!<br />
<br />
==Wednesday, May 11==<br />
Exit the King opens on this day.<br />
<br />
It must be Flunk Day. Instead of a monarchy, we have a democracy; thus, instead of a king we have a president; thus, king = equivalent of president. ROGER TAYLOR IS RETIRING, thus, Exit the King = Exit Roger Taylor; thus, Flunk Day = celebration of Roger Taylor, thus, FLUNK DAY IS TODAY! --> although these connections are powerful and thought-provoking, Flunk day will not be this day. The theatre faculty entered these dates into the calender at the end of last year. Also, no flunking Thursday or Friday. Promise. <br />
<br />
There is also a Dining Etiquette Class on this day, and Terrie Saline told me she didn't want it to happen then. -->> OH MAN NOT DINING ETIQUETTE!! -->> i would gladly trade a lifetime of dining etiquette perfection for one flunk day. o the power and the glory.<br />
<br />
Always the best content from these prodigious wertirs.<br />
<br />
==Flunk Day T-Shirts==<br />
<br />
This is an odd thing this year. Would the planners really be stupid enough to wait to distribute the t-shirts until the day of? I doubt.<--I heard purchased shirts will be stuffed in one's mailbox.<br />

-'''This just in''': FLUNK DAY FRIARS ARE BEING PICKED THROUGH A GAME OF ASSASSINS!!!<br />
<br />
===March 25===<br />
<br />
Sam Martone announces that he will act as a mercenary/spy for seniors who desire assistance during the Assassins game.<br />
<br />
===March 26=== <br />
<br />
Tenured Professor of Economics, Jonathan Powers, asserted that Flunk Day ''IS'' tomorrow, Saturday, March 27th.<br />
<br />
===March 30===<br />
<br />
FLUNK DAY FRIARS ARE OFFICIALLY NOT BEING PICKED BY A GAME OF ASSASSINS BECAUSE KNOX COLLEGE NO LONGER ENJOYS FUN OR THINGS THAT ARE FUN. Are the Flunk Day Gods listening? Ginny Graves tells anonymous student that friars will now be picked through a large game of bingo. Hit your grandparents up for strategies people. It is on!<br />
<br />
===March 31===<br />
<br />
Many students are confused and lost now that their Master of Flunk has been dismissed. Now there will be no riding around in the Gator handing out condoms and being reprimanded by Roger again. <br />
<br />
--> Simultaneously, the upperclassmen are throwing parties to celebrate the dismissal.<br />
<br />
--> Simultaneously, the sophomores are confused as to why people are so mean.<br />
<br />
--> Simultaneously, the first-years are confused as to what exactly Flunk Day is and who the Flunk Master is. They decide to start investing in the "Flunk Day stash" the upperclassmen were talking about, not sure if this really means alcohol, drugs, or party blowers. <---All of the above. This is important.<br />
<br />
==April==<br />
===April 1===<br />
<br />
*4AM<br />
Students are emailed about being a part of Flunk Day and to remain secret.<--Friars? This could be huge!<br />
<br />
*8AM<br />
Students are turned away from Campus Life only to realize they just got mega pranked!!! HAPPY APRIL FOOLS!!!!!!!!! and congratulations and fuck all those who orchestrated this prank!<br />
<br />
===April 5===<br />
<br />
*2PM<br />
In a stunning turn of events, the Flunk Day e-mail consists of [[Roger Taylor]] announcing his resignation. A new tradition is born.<br />
<br />
*10PM<br />
Suspicious vehicles spotted in Dick Blick parking lot.<br />
<br />
*11PM<br />
A bright flash of light is seen coming from the Northwest.<br />
<br />
===April 6===<br />
<br />
*5 AM<br />
Some people yell that it is Flunk Day. Unfortunately, they start out in Hamblin and the upperclassmen only grumble. We all go back to sleep. <br />
<br />
===April 7/Flunk Day Review=== <br />
<br />
- Flunk Day is Tomorrow.<br />
<br />
- Don't assume that all events on the calenders actually exist. In one case a few years ago, the boy's baseball team was away at a game when Flunk Day occurred. <br />
<br />
- Don't rely on the forecast. Rain just helps in the making of the mud pit. :)<br />
<br />
- Don't believe any of the upperclassmen. Ever.<br />
<br />
- Don't believe any of the faculty. Ever.<br />
<br />
- Just because the caf is baking a lot of cookies does not mean Flunk Day is tomorrow.<br />
<br />
- It is also not necessarily Flunk Day if the grass has just been mowed. <br />
<br />
- Large trailers spotted at random businesses around town does not mean they are blow-up carnival rides.<br />
<br />
- Flunk Day will not be on a Friday. Too many people would end up in the hospital from non-stop partying. '''OH YEAH!'''<br />
<br />
- The Flunk Day planners will not give you clues as to when the actual day is.<br />
<br />
- Everything they (the Flunk Day planners) say and do may just be screwing with you. Always keep that in mind.<br />
<br />
- Here is also a map from last year's Flunk Day that we can update this year:<br />
<br />
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&ll=40.944266,-90.371604&spn=0.011556,0.019312&t=h&z=16&msid=104372344600731454677.000468cb51e605ff87df2<br />
<br />
Notable sightings would include Helmut leaving the caf at odd hours of the morning, etc.<br />
<br />
-This morning was a very large and well organized and very loud Flunk Day scare. They had sirens, pots and pans, and at least twenty participants, one of whom screamed, "YOU WON'T CATCH ME ALIVE!" as he ran away. This was a very stupid scare for everyone except the Freshmen and Freshwomen considering a.) the safety e-mail hasn't been sent out yet b.) IT'S THE SECOND WEEK OF APRIL, HARDLY.<br />
<br />
-Flunk Day will be April 29th. The powers that be have spoken.<br />
<br />
===April 9th===<br />
<br />
'''WHY IT IS'''<br />
-On Friday, I overheard something in the Campus Life Office about "this being the big week". Jenn looked super busy and the Flunk Day planners were seen leaving the office carrying a box and a bag. Also, we Facebooked a few of the admissions visitors that were scheduled to come early this week and we think that at least one of them is a completely made up person. Flunk Day IS THIS WEEK!<br />
<br />
'''WHY IT ISN'T<br />
-This week is a big week because the drafts of club budget requests are due and it's the housing lottery, so of course Campus Life is busy this week. Also, I believe Craig Southern would kill someone if housing lottery was messed up. Flunk Day is NOT THIS WEEK!<br />
<br />
===April 13th===<br />
<br />
-Flunk Day email sent out, Flunk Day is tomorrow! And if not, senior meeting at Buffalo Wild Wings, so it will be a good night.<br />
<br />
-Has anyone noticed that there are no significant campus events going on on Earth Day like there usually are? Flunk Day?? <--There actually are! <br />
<br />
-START DIGGING THE MUD PIT <br />
<br />
===April 14th===<br />
<br />
3:56 am- The double doors in the hallway of Seymour are open suspiciously early. The light is on in the mail room. I don't know if that particular clue is actually indicative of anything, but I've heard it is.<br />
<br />
-It definitely, definitely is! Lights are on in mailroom and dining services.<br />
<br />
-Clearly, Today is Flunk Day, start drinkin'!<br />
<br />
-It's a scare <--you're a scare. CAN'T STOP US!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
-Flunk Day is Definitely Tomorrow!<br />
<br />
===April 15th===<br />
<br />
-Although people are suggesting things to the contrary: Flunk Day will NOT be Thursday, April 15th. This is the day of the Joe W. Morgan lecture, which is a HUGE deal and they have an editor from Rolling Stone coming, who has spoken on the phone with individual students and talked about her visit and what she's going to talk about while here. Plus they made reservations for her for dinner.<br />
<br />
-In response to the post above...Flunk Day can be placed on the same day as a huge event if it was not scheduled WAY in advance. It has happened before. Look back, Flunk Day almost always is placed during SOMETHING on campus. I still would not rule Wednesday or Thursday out.<br />
<br />
12:04am: Group of Conger/Neal residents begin digging of mud pit. <br />
<br />
-Also...shipping the seniors off to Buffalo Wild Wings seems innocent enough...or does it? Hmm, maybe a clever way to round up friars?<br />
<br />
-They ''just'' decided how they're going to PICK friars. Flunk Day is in May.<br />
<br />
-Poor naive little Underclassmen. Aside from the fact that Flunk Day is Tomorrow, there is no supporting evidence for anything yet. You need to get better at this.<br />
<br />
-Also Conger/Neal, don't fuck it up. And whatever you do, don't use the tiller that SNU has...<br />
<br />
2:05am: Xavier Romano seen at Beta incident with 7 cop cars, 2 firetrucks and his Flunk Day hat in hand. Continue digging the mud pit!<br />
<br />
2:37am: Xavier being seen on campus is not true. I am one of the select few who has direct access to "The Raptor!" Alas, no Raptors at KC for el dia de Flunk forever :(<br />
<br />
-The "mud pit" looks like a giant Cheerio made of shit. The middle section of hardened dirt and topsoil needs to be broken up and moved out of the way. An easy way to do this is by using a tiller. It looks like you went at it with a trowel. Your first attempt = Failed.<br />
<br />
-Flunk Day TKS is printed (Flunk Day next week!)<br />
<br />
===April 16===<br />
<br />
-This will not be Flunk Day. It also needs to be defined what a "scare" is. A scare is not shouting it's Flunk Day at night. A scare is a well ordered conspiracy where you mislead a large amount of the student body so that they believe it's Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
1:42am: The people shouting in the quads need to do two things: learn to read, and then read the definition of a scare and the history of epic scares.<br />
<br />
-Why are you so bitter? How about instead of complaining on the WikiFire, you get your ass out of bed and join the scare? You're so boring!<br />
<br />
===April 18===<br />
<br />
FLUNK DAY ANGER!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
COMPLAINCOMPLAINCOMPLAINCOMPLAINCOMPLAIN<br />
<br />
FLUNK YOU!<br />
<br />
Haven't you realized by now that Flunk Day doesn't exist?<br />
<br />
===April 19===<br />
<br />
-Was not Flunk Day, despite all of the solid evidence that follows. A group of rowdy gentlemen informed the quads of this at around 7:30 A.M. '''See more below: April 24/Rowdy Gentlemen Who Scream "It's not Flunk Day" @ 730 AM'''<br />
<br />
-Why is this day being neglected? No one is suspecting, thus it is the perfect plan. Is Flunk Day today? <br />
<br />
-Probably won't be Flunk Day today because of housing lottery? And what about Phoneathon? And they haven't even sent the second email (The Fact/Myth email) out yet!<br />
<br />
-Silly underclassmen, the Fact/Myth email is not an every year thing. Once that first email happens...it's on. ALSO, Flunk Day was on housing lottery before...it is just another way of screwing with us. <br />
<br />
-Flunk Day is not today there is a guest speaker planned tonight Doug McAdam, but I would expect a scare at least. Also coincidence, I think not, HyVee put up decorations in the store that are remarkably themed to match Flunk on the Beach. All I can say is the shark, fish, and whale balloons are epic and a clear sign Flunk Day is on our doorstep.<br />
<br />
-Roger Taylor said they are looking at Flunk Day in a new light this year. A safer one. <--Well this is it, today was Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
6:45pm: Golf cart seen roaming Knox's campus. Persons talking w/ Ginny and Britt (Flunk Day planners). Tomorrow is surely Flunk Day. Get your stashes ready!<br />
<br />
9:48pm: Confirmed: all four Flunk Day Planners shopping at Wal-Mart right now!<br />
<br />
10:25pm: Lights on in the Union Board office.<br />
<br />
11:02pm: Talked to Xavier, and asked if it was Flunk Day and he said, "He would not be making any trips to Knox tomorrow."<br />
<br />
11:05pm: Ten well known seniors' phones are turned off, including Ginny Graves.<br />
<br />
11:10pm: LIES!<br />
<br />
11:12pm: Environmental Studies candidate lunch and lecture CANCELLED!<br />
<br />
11:30pm: [[Pam Schuller]] has been cited at Knox again! Flunk Day is definitely tomorrow !<br />
<br />
11:47pm: [[Erica Jaffe]] and [[Michael Sales]] spotted near the Gizmo. <--Michael Sales is in Maine, nice try!<br />
<br />
11:50pm: Alumni member of the President's Circle gets email saying that Flunk Day is tomorrow! <--This is legit, I've seen it! Unless it's an awesomely orchestrated prank! '''See President's Circular Email Prank Below.'''<br />
<br />
12:22am: SEAN FORS IS MISSING. IT MUST BE FLUNK DAY.<br />
<br />
-Has no one noticed the blatantly scheduled home baseball game for tomorrow?!?! <-- fake home game was scheduled on FD in 2006. <--ok, but golf is gone to MO as well; both of these teams have been screwed over in the Seniors' Knox lifetimes, would they really do that again!?! <--yes. <--well, the game is on the website (http://www.robertmorris.edu/athletics/mensbaseball/springfield/schedule/).<br />
<br />
-...better get that mudpit ready. '''This could be HUGE!'''<br />
<br />
-*sniff sniff* I smell a scare. '''This could be HUGE!'''<br />
<br />
-THEY MOWED THE SOUTH LAWN TODAY...MUST BE FLUNK DAY! <br />
<br />
-Posted on Ginny's Facebook wall: <br />
kathleen mary podlipni: very clever baker, but i am 75% sure tmrw is not flunk day<br />
molly anne: i don't think it is Flunk Day but I really really really hope it is not. I lack some necessary supplies.<br />
virginia baker: that's too bad. i guess you should have listened to jnef and i....<br />
<br />
Ginny confirming Flunk Day = Not Flunk Day also she is by her computer or using her IPhone meaning she IS NOT PHONELESS or INTERNET-LESS and it's NOT FLUNK DAY!<br />
<br />
===April 20===<br />
<br />
-Like having your birthday on Christmas, or possibly the best superholiday in history? Discuss.<br />
<br />
-It'd be pretty smart on the administration's part; kill two birds in one stone. There are far too many conflicts however: multiple home baseball games, dance residency, and Dan Peterman's talk. <--Talk cancelled and dance residency unimportant. <-- EXCUSE YOU. IT IS IMPORTANT. We've been screwed over 2 years in a row.<br />
<br />
-Naw, having your birthday on/around Christmas would suck. You get half the presents! So you get half the fun, you see...<br />
<br />
-Why is the Oak Room going to be closed for breakfast in the morning? Suspicious much?<br />
<br />
-Also, Andru Bemis is supposed to be performing today. Posters and a Facebook event have been up for a while. Proof it's not Flunk Day, or Flunk Day music??? <--DOES NOT MATTER! This was not organized before the Flunk Day calendar!<br />
<br />
-Lights on in the mailroom? '''THIS COULD BE HUGE!'''<br />
<br />
-Time for a Midnight Stroll.''' This could be HUGE!'''<br />
<br />
-Lights on in the mailroom AND kitchen. '''This could be SMALL!'''<br />
<br />
-Start Drinking!!!!!<br />
<br />
-Even if it ISN'T tomorrow, someone had best to start workin' on that mud pit. That shit is pitiful. <--AMEN!<br />
<br />
-Friars chosen, lost contact with my roomie. Get some sleep. BC TOMORROW's FLUNK DAAAAAAY!!!!!<br />
<br />
-At this rate, if Flunk Day isn't tomorrow, a damn epic scare better materialize or I'll be thoroughly disappointed.<br />
<br />
-2:55am Martha Baumgarten was seen in the union board office. FLUNK DAAAAAAAY... ALSO the lights in the caf & the GIZMO are on. WTFFFFF FLUNK DAY??!!!<br />
<br />
-Two suspicious trucks parked in Seymour loading docks. Both are occupied by men who are not security. Security is driving around in unmarked car. Lights in mail room still on (rumor is that there are always on) seniors who received txt message to meet at 5 am are not picking up their phones. What does it all mean?<br />
<br />
4:24am: TRAIN WHISTLE! Totally Flunk Day!!!<br />
<br />
4:34am: Oh yeah. TOTALLY Flunk Day!!! ABBY PARDICK PROMISED!!! If it is not flunk, blame said sr. <--She never promised shit. <--Even if Abby promised she's a senior SHE'S GOING TO LIE!!!!!!<br />
<br />
-ANOTHER TRAIN WHISTLE!!!<br />
<br />
5:50am: Was there even a scare in the Quads? Nothing by Williston/apts...<--Shit was heard by Townhouse residents. Get yo heads outta yo asses Williston and suck it!<br />
<br />
6:08am: It is determined that the class of 2010 sucks. <--Our class is still better than yours.<br />
<br />
'''Senior flunk scare member is chased valiantly by campus security, proving class of 2010's great scare pride and physical endurance.'''<br />
<br />
5:00pm: Oliwia Zurek spotted drunk at Kaldi's - it's either Flunk Day tomorrow or she just gave up on her honors project.<br />
<br />
11:05pm: Someone replaced the whole page with Happy Flunk Day, please don't do this as this page still serves to chronicle the hilariousness of all the scares and misinformation leading up to Flunk Day. <br />
<br />
===April 21===<br />
<br />
12:51am - I'm bored.<br />
<br />
1:16am - I have a paper due tomorrow.. I mean today.. I wish today is Flunk Day<br />
<br />
5:30am - Lights on in the Wilson House and Dining Services. Is that normal?<br />
<br />
===April 22===<br />
<br />
-The only thing scheduled for today is the dance residency. Last year they had Flunk Day on the day of the Blood Drive so I wouldn't put it past the planners to screw over the dancers.<br />
<br />
-It's admitted students day...and it's not fake. I know prospies who are coming and spending the night...no Flunk Day today. Next week!<--Admissions has been known to call prospective students and ask them to not come in the night before. <--The Knox Admissions Office, I know would NEVER do that. No Flunk Day this week. <--They HAVE done that. <--They've also made up prospective students before. You may think you're volunteering to host, but really that person doesn't exist!<br />
<br />
--It is the only day this week with NOTHING going on (no home games, no guest speakers, and dance residency has fallen on Flunk Day before)! <--Seriously, it's admitted students day. Students are coming to stay overnight on Thursday, since they aren't allowed here on the weekend. Students are coming from all over the U.S., they aren't going to just call up people the night before and ask them not to get on their plane. And too many individual prospies have verified with various students from Knox that they have connections to.<br />
<br />
-Is it actually an admitted students day or are prospies just randomly coming? Cause usually admitted student days are advertised on the calendar, and a notice that the oak room will not be open for lunch goes up. We have already had two admitted student days which is usually how many there are, and I don't see anything on the calendar or any oak room notices. Admissions doesn't know when it is Flunk Day till last minute and so they have had to cancel visits before, it sucks, but its not their choice.<br />
<br />
-Yes, it is an admitted student day on April 23rd. They have frequently advertised it to prospective students, the employees are hard at work scheduling and setting up for it, and they've spent tons of money getting ready for it. There is no way they would cancel it just to surprise us with Flunk day. It's been planned for over half a year in advance, too. If you want proof, check out the Oak Room schedule. http://www.knox.edu/dining/weeklyoak.aspx<br />
<br />
-April '''23'''rd is an Admitted Student Day... NOT April '''22'''nd!! OH SHIT!<br />
<br />
-But they're not stupid enough to have Flunk Day right before an open house. <--They've done it many times before, so this is a moot point. <--WHEN have they done it "many times before" and what constitutes "right before"? The day before? A few hours before? Remember, students who are coming in for the admitted students day are staying over night on THURSDAY...not Friday. Meaning they would be arriving during the day on Thursday, and during the day on...Flunk Day? I don't think so. <--They're not staying overnight. It's just an admitted student day. Can I give you exact years? No, but ask the Seniors 'cuz they know best. ''' It's gonna be HUGE'''. <--Yes, they are staying overnight in various dorms and in the admission suite, because it's admitted students day and since they can't stay over night on Friday, they come on Thursday, stay over night, do stuff on Friday, and then leave. So unless all of the prospies who have talked to individual students about coming on Friday (or Thursday) are all part of a big conspiracy, I'm guessing it's not going to be Flunk Day. <br />
<br />
-An alumnus reports his fave Knox memory is his FIVE flunk days, once as a prospie. Said alumnus is now a trustee. Roping in prospies with an extra Flunk Day with hopes for Alumni Hall?!<br />
<br />
-Something suspicious was overheard by a student working in Admissions... "The hotel rooms have been taken care of for tomorrow." Possible that the overnight students who are supposed to sleep over are staying in a hotel instead? Note: Families might stay in hotels, but Admissions doesn't plan that for them. <--In the C-store earlier tonight, when an overnight host asked an admissions student worker about details on her prospie, the student deflected the question with an abrupt and mysterious "I don't know. Don't worry about it." This person isn't usually taciturn...suspicious? I think VERY <--are you talking about Hayley? She was totally bullshitting. Flunk Day isn't tomorrow.<br />
<br />
-Ginny Graves sent notes to random people who did the Assassins game planning a "scare" for Wednesday night. Ginny is practically in charge of Flunk Day AND this is what they did last year... Planned a "scare" then it really was Flunk Day. It IS Flunk Day tomorrow.<br />
<br />
-Seniors are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to come out for Senior Meeting tonight... abduction?<br />
<br />
10:30pm: Flunk Day Planners Martha, Jenni and Ginny seen stress eating in the Gizmo. Britt Anderson was not eating--everyone knows she loves to eat--something's up.<br />
<br />
SPOTTED: JNef in Founders attempting to unzip her jacket to show off her "friar" t-shirt, but failing miserably while she and Ginny both proclaim that tomorrow is flunk day. (10:50pm) Shenanigans!<br />
<br />
10:52pm: Loud yelling heard coming from the [[betta]] house. Tomorrow is for sure Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
-All campus email about a new printer in GDH? TOTAL DEFLECTION! TOMORROW IS FLUNK DAY! <--SELF EDIT! Apparently it didn't go out to all of campus. It did, however, go out at 10:30 PM. Here's the email:<br />
<br />
Please join us in George Davis Hall on Earth Day, Thursday, 4/22 10:00am - 12:00pm and 1:00pm - 3:00pm to view new printer technology!<br />
<br />
The Xerox ColorQube is the most environmentally friendly piece of copy/print equipment on the planet. This is truly an amazing piece of equipment, and we want to share this new green technology with everyone during this special week. See how the ColorQube's revolutionary solid ink technology cannot only help you be green, but save you some green as well!<br />
<br />
Xerox representatives will be present to discuss this equipment and if you are a part of a Green Solutions Expo, the Sustainability Committee, and anyone wanting to celebrate 30 years of Earth Day they would like to speak with you.<br />
<br />
BERTL<br />
<br />
BERTL awarded the ColorQube 9200 Series multifunction printer a 5-Star "Exceptional" rating, noting the device’s vibrant image quality, reasonable print productivity and excellent ease of use.<br />
<br />
September 2009<br />
Sheryl Nyman, Lab Manager <br />
<br />
-It's a printer. An email went out over a printer = NOT ANYTHING TO DO WITH FLUNK DAY!!! However, I think it's very awesome, Go Knox environmental friendliness!<br />
<br />
-WHAT THE FUCK DOES THIS MEEEEAAAAAN?!<br />
<br />
RIGHT NOW: People are drunk. Tomorrow is Flunk Day. <--People are always drunk, like [[Zak Khan]] so it doesn't mean it's Flunk Day... unless you live everyday of your life like it's Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
12:12am: Make a wish. Tomorrow will be Flunk Day with enough wishes.<--It's 11:11 when you make a wish. Lolz.<br />
<br />
-DIG mudpitters DIGG!! MUAHAHAHAHAAAA<br />
<br />
1:35am Can I haz Flunk Day?<br />
<br />
5:00am Martha Baumgarten and Britt Anderson (Flunk Day Planners) were spotted heading to Seymour...hmmmmmm.<br />
<br />
5:01am Security drove by mudpit.<br />
<br />
5:07am Security drove by mudpit again.<br />
<br />
5:58am Lame ass-scare wakes everyone up.<br />
<br />
-Maybe it's because I go to sleep at 4, but none of the scares have woken me up yet.<br />
<br />
11:37pm Random stars were drawn around campus sidewalks with the unusual number "73" written in them. <br />
<br />
11:45pm Group with guitar were roaming around campus singing.<br />
<br />
===April 21, 22, and 23===<br />
<br />
-Flunk day can't be this week; the college wouldn't risk their precious campus getting destroyed before admitted students day. <--Perhaps it's a fake admitted students day? <--Not possible. After all the calls students make about it? <--Remember last year when Flunk Day was on the day of the APO Blood Drive and APO had it all organized only for the planners to secretly cancel it behind their backs? It could happen again.<--Flunk Day will absolutely not be anytime before the admitted students day. It's neither fake nor the same kind of event as the blood drive. <--It won't happen ON admitted students day, but BEFORE is totally okay.<br />
<br />
-Flunk Day is not this week. The Admissions Office HATES knowing when Flunk Day is, and therefore, would not make their own lives harder by scheduling an entire fake admitted students day. Plus, there are at least 10-15 people staying overnight on Thursday. Thus, no Flunk Day that day. <br />
<br />
-'''This Just In''': ROGER TAYLOR SEEN WALKING AROUND CAMPUS WITH A CUPCAKE. FLUNK DAY IS TOMORROW.<br />
<br />
1:21am It's quiet, TOO QUIET.... tomorrow '''HAS TO BE IT.'''<br />
<br />
-Pie a Pi Phi has been postponed till the 26th, could this be FLUNK DAY? <-- No, that's just because it was raining and all the whipped cream would just be washed off our faces and then people would be said that their efforts to pie us came to nothing.<br />
<br />
===April 24/Rowdy Gentlemen Who Scream "It's Not Flunk Day!" @ 7:30 AM===<br />
<br />
According to sources close to the residents of Conger/Neal (who are tired of the rowdiness of the Rowdy Gentlemen AKA the SNUs who are currently residing or squatting at the SNU house) instigated a false alarm scare of their own today at around 6 am.<br />
<br />
One of the Conger/Nealians says a SNU emerged with a super soaker. Apparently this super soaker was empty. Womp, Womp.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
FLUNK DAY IS THE 2010 COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER<br />
<br />
Where did everything just go? Um confirmation that this is totally the day of FLUNK!? I think so.<br />
<br />
Nothing says Flunk Day can't be on a Monday. <-- Flunk day will probably not be a Monday, because then everyone would just keep partying through Tuesday. (Come on, how many people have Tuesday classes?) It is more likely that it'll be a Tuesday. <-- What about partying through Wednesday to Thursday then? The only fact is that Flunk Day will never be on a Friday...<--Thursdays are normally "lab" days. You can assume that anyone who is taking a class in SMC this term, will have class on a Thursday.<-- When Flunk Day falls on a Tuesday or Thursday, many people do not go to their W/F classes, so this is a moot point. In the end, classes are the last things on most minds.<br />
<br />
Rumors from a staff member who heard it from an alumn who heard it from a dentist who heard it from your mom place Flunk Day either today or tomorrow. <--An elaboration on this story is that, in theory, the food is only able to be kept a few days beforehand. <--Sam Martone says he has heard this story debunked by several people, they have pointed out that there doesn't need to be more food for Flunk Day than any other day.<-- They have different food not available on normal days in such high quantities, such as the breakfast sandwiches juice boxes and milk cartons as well, as water bottles and other portable necessities. There is DIFFERENT food than usual people, that's why this was/is such a big deal.<--Food currently in the freezer is for LincolnFest, not Flunk Day. Flunk Day food was only ordered yesterday.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Jenn Snider reported saying she "would cry" if it is today... could those be tears of joy? <--No, tears of agony since club budgets are due Wednesday and the Finance Committee she advises is meeting Monday night to hammer through the 50 some club budgets... if Flunk Day is Monday then Tuesday would be crunch time. <--Jenn is going to be crying tears of whatever SINCE FLUNK DAY IS MONDAY!!!!<br />
<br />
12:36pm: Got Milk? Organic valley shipment of milk. Was that a bottle of milk or a pony? Flunk day is tomorrow bitches!!!<br />
<br />
Sometime after noon: Doug Fennig says that Flunk day is not Monday, but maybe Tuesday instead. Then says that is Monday. It's totally monday. Doug would never lie.<br />
<br />
All of Elder Basement making chicken noises. It must be Flunk Day. <br />
<br />
3:33pm 6 large unmarked trunks exited into galesburg right before me off of 74. I followed them and they pulled into the best western. Keep watching!!! <--Has ANYONE confirmed this? <--CONFIRMED!!!!!!!<--PICTURES.<---- How about you post pictures if you have them.<br />
<br />
Monday, April 26, 2010 9 events Time Event Location All Day Pre-enrollment for Fall 2010 Knox College 5:00 PM Alpha Sigma Alpha Informal Recruitment Compass Room 6:30 PM Badminton Club Fieldhouse 7:00 PM Galesburg Community Chorus rehearsals Jay Rehearsal Hall, Center for the Fine Arts 7:00 PM Lo Nuestro General Meeting Casa Latina 7:30 PM Student Health Advocacy Group Meeting The Human Rights Center, Galesburg 8:00 PM Common Ground Meeting Human Rights Center 8:00 PM History Club Meeting Common Room, Old Main 9:00 PM Circle K Meeting Ferris Lounge, Seymour Hall<br />
<br />
None of the above events on the calendar make a difference if it's Flunk Day get excited!<--Exactly. All of these "events" actually support Flunk Day being this day, because they are all unimportant compared to games/field trips/wtfever.<br />
<br />
Who is going to make a wikifire photo diary of the evidence hunt tonight? Better question: Who is going on an evidence hunt tonight? <--I'm going on a hunt tonight. You will not see me, however; I will be in full camo. Any lesser degree of badassery would not please the Flunk Gods.<br />
<br />
There is a new plant on the Gizmo patio. Also, Pam was in the cafeteria. OMGZTOMORROWISFLUNKDAYZZZZZZZ.<br />
<br />
Jenn Snider was in her office today working. On a Sunday? Unless she is trying to be the new president of the college working on a Sunday makes no sense. <-- Apparently there was a TRIO event going on where she was helping out<-- Likely Story.<br />
<br />
Ginny Graves did not attend chapter today... TOMORROW IS FLUNK DAAAAYYYYY!<-- But JNef was at chapter... wouldn't they both be gone if it was Flunk Day? <--Maybe not- JNef shows to throw us off.... also secret Funk Day Planner Jessi was also not present. TMRW IS FLUNK DAY!!! <---Britt Anderson was also not at Chapter <br />
<br />
It's rainy START DIGGING THE MUD PIT!!!<-- The mud pit has been dug. It looks FANTASTIC! Great job C/N! <---Ditto!<br />
<br />
Just talked to Quick Sam and he is expecting a "Big Day" of alcohol sales on Monday.<br />
<br />
This just in. TKS is working on an article regarding the lack of transparency and the anonymity present on the Wiki Fire board. Debbie Southern is quoted as having nothing to say. Two Knox students have already promised to have an open forum regarding Transparency on the Wiki Fire. Also being promised, the forum will go longer than needed and reportedly will focus on talking in circles. The art department and Guerilla theater are already planning strange and unmoving pieces of "performance art" for the Old Main Lawn <--THIS IS HUGE <--This is not true; I work for TKS and we are not running a story about that. At least, I don't think we are. <---I hope this is true because this is hilarious<br />
<br />
Two forum planning students have confirmed that a second forum will convene. A panel is being formed to discuss the benefits of talking in circles. Could this be a plot for collecting the Friars?<--And have it completed by tomorrow? No way <--How long do you think it takes to gather people?<br />
<br />
Martha (Flunk Day planner) is gone for the weekend and will not be returning until late monday... she wouldnt miss Flunk Day <--Flimsy excuse. Being out of town until "late monday" could just be intentionally misleading. Also, since when does the entire day require a single person?<br />
<br />
It doesn't matter where people were or were not. It matters where they ARE. Right now. Until much later. Find them. Watch them. Do you know Seniors? Watch them. Do you have high tech GPS tracking devices? USE THEM!<--See, this is how people develop a creepy image. Does flunk day warrant legitimate stalking?<br />
<br />
I just saw PETE WENTZ of Fall Out Boy spotted at Jimmy John's ordering a #6. TMRW IS FLUNK DAY!!!<br />
<br />
There is no such thing as Flunk Day. It's all a scare to make students not study, and fail exams (like the one in Scott Sunderland's class monday) Flunk Day is Wednesday. <--First that test is easy, second Flunk Day is REAL and BE PREPARED CAUSE IT'S THE 26th!!!!<br />
Tank wrote this^, and he is stupid. Tomorrow is Flunk Day <br />
<br />
Pete Wentz!? *Phish* I just saw Brian Wilson walking a dog down Monmouth Boulevard. It is Flunk on the beach, after all. That guy really gets around.....<br />
<br />
While making my stirfry Keith confirmed that tommorow is indeed flunk day!!!<br />
<br />
Henry also said tomorrow is Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
Just in! Abe Lincoln and Stephen Douglas impersonators were spotted inside the Broadview Cafe eating a Horseshoe and Mexican Skillet. When asked why they were staying at the Ramada Inn "Douglas" claimed that he has an engagement at Knox on Monday. "Lincoln" told me to go to Romantix and buy some rush.<br />
<br />
8:59pm Lots of mysterious trucks drove past campus down south street <-- OMG TRUCKS. With only two major highways it's impossible that Galesburg ever experiences trucks!<br />
<br />
Has anyone seen Ginny Graves or the potential Senior friar candidates?<br />
<br />
Around 9pm Senior David Plott seen leaving Tompkins 5 in a hurry. Lights were left on (he loves the environment). No Cellular device left (Always leaves his cell). His mouse was not put away (its always put back). Possible Friar? <-- Proof? THIS COULD BE HUGE.<br />
<br />
<br />
4:36: Trucks seen at rest stop in Moline which got off at exit 54 and parked in gravel lot in Knoxville. Photo evidence. Flunk day? <---THIS COULD BE HUGE!!! http://www.thewikifire.org/index.php?title=Image:Flunk.jpg <-- Compacted because A) it was too big and B) it is fake <-----UH...what was the weather today folks? raining and gray...this is not recent....we are being hoodwinked!<----Your drunk! It was sunny all day in Knoxville... My camera's clock must have stopped running...Of course they sell corn dogs at flunk day...<---I am not drunk, thanks for your input...Moline is only 30 minutes from Galesburg and it was gray as hell all day... therefore I'm calling your bluff. Offer proof that the weather was nice there and I'll be all for believing you. <br />
<br />
<-- This picture should be much larger for me to objectively decide.<br />
<-- Meta Data on photo says taken in 08.... And Food Fair items wouldn't be used on Flunk Day.... It clearly sells corn dogs<br />
<br />
Just back from Post 8 Recon and alcohol run. Whoever posted about the 6 "unmarked" trucks at Best Western... FUCKING FAIL!!! The 6 unmarked trucks are Halliburton trucks carrying huge ass industrial pumps and were at the Holiday Inn. However, there were a few suspicious trucks at the hotel on the square with Missouri plates. We also hit the hotels out by the Sandburg Mall. There is one suspicious trailer and another flatbed carrying large livestock panels. Petting zoo maybe? Discuss... The real question is, why would you not take/post pictures? Someone should take a note from the old '09 page.<br />
<br />
<---- Cody Engle has a huge horse monster c***, which means FLUNK DAY IS DEFINITELY TODAY.<br />
<br />
<--- 10:15pm, Helmut seen entering the caf through the loading dock. Looked over his shoulder to see if anyone was watching (luckily i'm as stealthy as a cat and hid in a nearby bush). Couldn't take a picture though, it was too dark. <---- proof? <----- CONFIRMED. I saw it too. Will upload pic immediately. <----- he wouldn't come in this early <---- unless it really is FLUNK DAY!! <----- i saw this too. confirmation numero tres. GET YOUR FLUNK DAY STASHES IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY!<--Do they automatically transfer the phones over after hours or would it ring until the answering machine picked up? You can try calling dining services(the caf, not the office) to see if he's there(and would answer). <br />
<br />
At around 9pm, Neal was seen going into the mailroom. On a Sunday...? <--- FLUNK DAYYYYY<br />
<br />
JEN SNIDER SEEN HAVING A BEER AT DUFFY'S WITH A FRIEND TALKING ABOUT TWO UNION BOARD EVENTS THIS WEEK!!! (The only scheduled one is Friday) FLUNK DAY!<br />
<br />
<--- Jamie Galante says it's Flunk Day. She never lies. FLUNK DAY.<-----Gingers are 1) not people 2) stupid<br />
<br />
FLunk Day is like Christmas when you're 8, how will I ever fall asleep???<br />
<br />
Ginny Graves doesn't exist.<br />
<br />
Both Britt and Martha (flunk day planners) were gone this weekend, but have returned. Ah, resting up, perhaps?<br />

<br />
Roger Taylor was reported stating in the Dean of Students office that he has trustees coming in on monday . . . FAKE TRUSTEES!?!?! <br />
<br />
- Pam Schuller and Randy Geary are both on campus until monday. They have both conceded to not knowing anything about flunk day. Sodium Pentothal questioning soon to follow. . ..<br />
<br />
10.38 - Light is on inside the CTL - what is John Haslem planning?^^<br />
<br />
10:40 - Helmut's truck is still parked outside <--Helmut dont drive a truck<-- "don't drive" ... nice grammar. And I believe he does.<br />
<br />
10:40pm - Beta seen putting black garbage bags up over windows.<--They're just too cheap to buy curtains! They don't know when it is<br />
<br />
10:46 - Suspicious whistling heard near apartments.<br />
<br />
10:48 - Seniors buying alcohol at Quickie<br />
<br />
10:50 - Ruckus at Fiji. Members are playing games on porch. Talk about tomorrow being flunk day overheard. It was also ascertained that Martha took the late train back.<br />
<br />
11:00 - Several seniors seen sprinting across campus. Several more piled into a car in the loading dock.<br />
<br />
11:15 - group of senior SNU's seen leaving the house together<br />

<br />

<br />
Micheal Tam sitting naked on the hamblin balcony.... <----- Irrelevant. Michael Tam is always naked. <br />
<br />
CONFIRMATION IN THE FORM OF MAILROOM PROOF! check it out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMF0E-wU0Us <--- isn't it locked?<br />
<----Yeah, that's me blithering on in the background. Confirmed.<--FYI Neal is the APO advisor and is always on campus sunday nights<br />
Flunk day! don't you hear the trains???? plus all of i-house went out to buy boozzee...<br />
<br />
Very convincing video. Whoever did this deserves a high five. How did you get in the mail room, though?<br />
<br />
Yes the doors are locked. we are standing at the base of the stairs at the doors right before the bookstore. I just zoomed in majorly. :)<br />
<---- Those windows are wired, you can't just zoom in, they were in the mailroom.<br />
<br />
The video is clearly staged. If it is as they say filmed through the window, where are the wires for the security glass? The perspective doesn't match with the claim that it was zoomed in either. Don't blow your load over a silly youtube video. And if it were real, why would the poster post it anonymously? Or was it you? <br />
<br />
update! Betas seen at walmart and walmart manager proclaims tomorrow is flunk day! <--Betas are just alcoholics, that is what they do on Sunday nights!!!<br />
<br />
12:02 - Movement spotted inside the mail room. TOMORROW IS DEFINITELY FLUNK DAY!<----yeah, you're majorly late to the party. Watch the damn video.<br />
<br />
<br />
12:06 - I just told campus safety that I needed to check my mailbox for grad school application EMERGENCY! When I opened my Kbox I saw a flier and it said "Gotcha." Sadly, I don't think it's flunk day tomorrow. <----Unfortunately, I believe you. Can we have a photo proof though :( <---but why would campus safety succumb to this request if it was flunk day? the reasoning is flimsy. there's no mail on sunday, so why would there be anything new between when the mailroom closed and now?<--- Good point, but why would someone lie about it NOT being flunk day. That's not in the Knox spirit, if you ask me.<--(12:57PM) it is not the Flunk spirit. But there is no way Campus Safety would let us into the mail room this late at night, regardless of the excuse. The grad school application would be able to wait six hours. Also, if you look very closely at what's being stuff, it's not a flier they are stuffing in the mail box. If you look at the folding motion, and the thickness of the material being stuffed, it comes out to roughly be about what a Flunk Day Newspaper would be. I'm just saying. Watch the video again. <--Also, PICS OF THE FUCKING FLIER OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN, BITCH. <-- It is also completely unrealistic that Neill would let someone into the mailroom to stuff mailboxes with "Gotcha" flyers on a Sunday night. I work in the mailroom and know how strict he is during a regular WEEKDAY about actual flyers that go out. This is fake.<br />
<br />
12:09AM: can we get names of people who shot the video? or else i'm positive it was staged by FD planners. sounds a lot like jnef... <br />
<br />
<br />
video is (not)dumb, they said they shot it from outside and zoomed in, those windows are wire reinforced, i see no non focused wire in the picture.<--video is legit, there were about ten of us there.<---Video is legit. Camera smushed against glass, zoomed in epically, big spaces between wires, camera gets past them. Bitches.<br />
<br />
12:15AM Sam Martone's facebook page, a clearinghouse of flunk day information, has disappeared from facebook. Forces more powerful than us are moving.<br />
<---- Sam Martone planned on taking down his own facebook page during a really good scare, 10 bucks this was posted by Sam Martone<---Yeah I'm pretty sure Sam Martone is just messing with us. That's just like something he would do.<--Yeah Sam Martone doesn't know anything really.<br />
<br />
Also, the trucks last year were camped out at the train station.<br />
<br />
12:20AM I am a senior. I got a text inviting me to be a friar. I might not do it because I'm supposed to show up sober.<--- not legit<br />
<br />
12:19 AM Senior Heather Kopec returns to Tompkins apartment somewhat sneakily with one less person in her car then when she left. Also with booze. And her hoodie up. Why hoodie up when you have such fine hair.<br />
<br />
More video proof that it is flunk day! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTFWmdvBbZE<--- Obviously, a video of Union Board adviser Jenn Snider and Flunk Day Planner Ginny Graves.<br />
<br />
Kristin Mcdonald has been running around seymour on a rampage. She ran to the quickie and returned with lots and lots of booze, its flunk day. Kmac is a beast....she always knows what's up.<----------Also, a dumb freshman who thinks flunk day is everyday.<br />

<br />
12:55 - I jerked off - Its Flunk Day<br />

<br />
12:55 - I jerked off.. Twice - Its Flunk Day<br />
<br />
12:56 - Townies are acting very strange. They were congregating at the quickie and seemed to be multiplying by the minute. Its a fact that Flunk Day drives townies wild.<br />
<br />
12:57 - Betas proclaim its Flunk Day.. No choice now it has to be <-----Derek Larosa also seen buying Rush.<---if it is indeed flunk day DO NOT let him drink any more rush! it was bad enough the first time... <---- I heard his eyes were yellow the next day. But don't worry, he has been quoted saying, "Dude, it's ok, brah. I do this shit all the time!" <----- Again Betas are all drunks. Every day is flunk day for them. <-------- DUDE DRANK THE RUSH!!!!!! IT'S FLUNK DAY!!!!<br />

<br />
===Tuesday, April 27===<br />
<br />
Again, dentist story is circulating.<br />
<br />
Also, note rumor about overhearing security guards placing Flunk Day today.<br />
I've found a reasonably strong case that Flunk Day is Today. It is well-known that fake events are often added to throw off accurate predictions. Noting this, if you look at the schedule on the Knox site for the 27th [1] , you will note that there is a Softball game at 3:00 and 5:00 at Eureka College. Knowing that fake games have been created before, I looked on the Eureka College site. Their softball schedule [2] has no mention of any game with Knox after April 9th, let alone on the 27th. Yes, it could be a mistake, but note that the 2 games on the 27th are separately posted, making a mistake less likely and malicious intent more probable. <--- Wow you fail, there is totally a game against Knox at both 3:00 and 5:00 against Knox on the Eureka site schedule [3]. I figured out why you were wrong, you were looking at the 2009 schedule and results, not the 2010 schedule.<-- Tsk, you ruin my fun. ;P<br />
<br />
<br />
Alicia is totally in her room making up stories about going to get more whiskey!!! We know she's a friar! ITS FLUNK DAY <--- You're an idiot Sean.<br />
<br />
===Wednesday, April 28===<br />
Facilities members suspect this day?<br />
<br />
2 possible conflicts (though not necessarily excluding this day) are a confirmed home baseball game and the McNair Fellow Proposal Presentations.<br />
Numerous residents in Hamblin Apartments woke up on April 25th with "Wendísimo" written on their dry erase boards. As mostly seniors live in Hamblin, could this made up word be a hint that Flunk Day is on Wednesday??<br />
<br />
===Thursday, April 29===<br />
Nothing has really been said about this day. <--- I have an exam, Flunk Day has to be today.<br />
The Men's Golf Team will be at Conference in Rockford. Flunk Day is not today.<-- Golf has been screwed before, it can be screwed again. <---not twice in three years... not to mention that it's been confirmed by a senior (as in experience, not year of college) dining services employee that flunk day is not on a day that golf is gone. BOOYAH.<br />
<br />
Sorry but Flunk Day is Monday, the 26th.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==May==<br />
<br />
We love gays in may.<br />
<br />
==June==<br />
<br />
Clearly the administration will wait until senior week to hold Flunk Day, thus saving all of those budding alcoholic underclassmen from alcohol poisoning. <--LOVES IT!<br />
<br />
<br />
==President's Circular Email Prank==<br />
<br />
The following email was (mistakenly?) sent tonight to an undisclosed list, but apparently they are recent donors to Knox.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Flunk2010.JPG]]<br />
<br />
<br />
-Hmm... I think it's time for some foot soldiers. Deploy my minions!!! Also, groom the mud pit. <-- Better be safe than sorry. That mud pit is in sad shape.<br />
<br />
-It's a Fraud: [This is] Shopped. Grey box around lettering. I'm going to sleep. <--- Oh give me a break, those are just JPEG compression artifacts, that kind of "analysis" doesn't fly with lossy formats.<br />
<br />
-It's Authentic: Opposite of shopped - screenshots captured and reassembled in Paint, then saved as JPG -- that's where your gray letters come in. I'd be happy to forward the original along to anyone who wants to see it.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Picture 1.jpg]]<br />
<br />
<br />
-Real or fake though, that mud pit needs dug Conger/Neal. You're supposed to be on that shit by now.<br />
<br />
-Is this Roger Taylor's goodbye prank?<br />
<br />
-It's a Fraud: Look, guys, it's not fucking Flunk Day. What it is, is an absentee Flunk Day scare. THIS IS A MASSIVE ALUMNI CONSPIRACY, undertaken by our gone (but not forgotten) friends from 2009 who want to relive their Flunk glory as an escape from their student loans and meager employment prospects. It's next week for sure.<br />
<br />
-It's Authentic: Flunk day IS tomorrow. This email was sent to a '93 graduate (official). FLUNK DAY!!!<-------- No way!<---------WAY! THIS IS TRUE! <br />
<br />
-It's a Fraud: Look at the signature tag of Roger's email. Definitely not the same as previous emails he has sent out. Mailbox number is incorrect, and he always puts Roger L. Taylor '63, which does not appear anywhere in the signature. It is a hoax. Tomorrow is not Flunk Day, though I still hope it would be! <--http://www.knox.edu/About-Knox/We-Are-Knox/Our-President/2009-Presidents-Report.html That's the way the Rog always signs his letters btw.<br />
<br />
-Point of Clarification: Why does it say circular? I thought it was President's Circle. <---- *Taken from the Knox Website* Participants in the Finley Society will be recognized for their leadership gifts to Knox with special mention in the Honor Roll of Donors, an invitation to the President's Circle reception at Homecoming, and subscription to the *PRESIDENT'S CIRCULAR*, an e-newsletter for all members of the President's Circle.<br />
\<br />
<br />
There are 8 letters in the word flunk day. If you add together the digits of tomorrows date waht do you get????<br />
<br />
4+2+6+2+0+1+0=15<br />
<br />
1+5=6 and six is the last number in 26! Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Sigma Nu is planning a flunk day scare. Obviously tomorrow we will learn that it is in fact ......... NOT FLUNK DAY<br />

Track the (sometimes) elusive [[Flunk Day]] throughout Spring term. <br />
<br />
== Maximizing Your Flunk Shui ==<br />
<br />
A significant theory exists that Flunk Day is not a fixed date that occurs inevitably. Rather, it is the result of an amazing display of personal willpower, summoned subconsciously by an individual exhibiting a profound amount of good Flunk Shui.<br />
<br />
Keys to maximizing your Flunk Shui:<br />
<br />
1. Don't update the Wiki Fire. Doing so only increases the likelihood of your updates being Seen, and as a result, Flunk Day may not occur.<BR><br />
2. Don't e-mail Xavier. Don't e-mail Pam. Don't stalk Pam. These people have everything to do with Flunk Day, and Flunk Day may not occur if you demonstrate any clear signs of Knowing it will be Flunk Day.<BR><br />
3. Do e-mail Jenny Davis. While she also has nothing to do with Flunk Day, she's very personable and lively in her e-mail correspondence.<BR><br />
4. Try talking to people you wouldn't normally talk to. "He's an asshole. I know him, even though I don't know him." becomes "Hey, what's up? Flunk Day tomorrow?"<BR><br />
9. Consider, briefly, the fact that logic does not exist & therefore natural progression does not<BR><br />
5. Flunk Shui isn't something you can attain. You either have it or you don't, kid, and frankly if you've reached point number five by now you ought to be on to something.<BR><br />
6. The maxim "Flunk Day is Tomorrow." as well as "Flunk Day is ALWAYS Tomorrow" are foolish. Those with true Flunk Shui know that Flunk Day is a day that happens once a year at Knox. It's usually always a surprise.<BR><br />
7. Don't think about Flunk Day. Don't think about Flunk Shui.<BR><br />
8. Just breathe, and watch the world breathe. Read some Romantic poetry, perhaps. Exist.<br />
<br />
<br />
== NEW E-MAIL TO SENIOR CLASS CONCERNING FRIARS!!! ==<br />
<br />
E-mail received Tuesday, May 5th, 1:43 PM:<br />
<br />
''From Jenn Snider:''<br />
<br />
''Attention Seniors:''<br />
''Think you should be a Flunk Day Friar?''<br />
''In order to make the selection as fair as possible, we want you to tell us why you deserve to be a Friar!''<br />
''Let us know how you're involved on campus, what you'd bring to being a Friar, and anything else you think we should know!'' ''Creativity is encouraged!''<br />
<br />
''Submissions should be no longer than one paragraph and must be received by '''Friday, May 8''' at noon.''<br />
''To apply, DO NOT HIT REPLY! All submissions MUST be sent to jsnider@knox.edu to be considered.''<br />
<br />
--<br />
<br />
What does this mean? Obviously, it's a scam: Flunk Day is tomorrow, and this is meant to have us think it can't be before the end of the week.<br />

== An IMPORTANT MESSAGE about using this page! ==<br />
Hey all of you lovely wiki users, it's time we had a talk about talking. I've bet you've seen people talking to each other using something like this:<br />
<br />
''It's flunk day tomorrow! <------ You're a moron! <----- Fuck you!''<br />
<br />
Well this '''really mucks up the page'''. You see, we all want to keep tabs on Flunk Day, so we need to keep our info clear and free of this kind of stuff. But there's a solution! See the "discussion" tab at the top of this page? Go there! Go on! Go to it! Use it to discuss, berate, argue, call out, insult and congratulate.<br />
<br />
But please, please let's keep THIS page pure. Let it be full of quality 100% unadulterated flunk day information. The better it is the better our odds of figuring out just when the mysterious day will be. <br />

==When Do YOU think Flunk Day will be?==<br />
<br />
A handy poll!<br />
<br />
http://www.learnmyself.com/poll3981x320049Da<br />
<br />
==Is it Flunk Day yet?==<br />
<br />
Traditionally, close monitoring of [[lawn-mowing]] and the whereabouts of potential [[friars]] can lead to a general impression as to when Flunk Day may occur. However, this year the student body can take extra steps to ensure they know, without a doubt, when Flunk Day might, perhaps, possibly occur.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Admissions===<br />
<br />
A more accurate prediction may in fact be possible if there exists a member of the Admissions Office (student Ambassadors will do) who can relay details about the touring/visitation schedule. Empty days are less likely than one would think. Days involving large groups of guests from one location (ie. school or youth groups), and days where descriptions of visitors are mildly vague, are more telling. Large groups and vague visitations have been known to be scheduled on the big day, such was the case on [[Flunk Day 2006]].<br />
<br />
<br />
===EMT class===<br />
<br />
The EMT class does not know, nor does the ambulance service. Having taken the class last year and now currently employed there, seriously...they don't know and I'm extremely upset about it.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Online calendar additions===<br />
<br />
For those who check the [http://www.knox.edu/News-Sports-and-Events/Events-Calendar.html Events Calender] daily (as all Flunk Day enthusiasts should) be sure to notice any changes that occur in the schedule from week to week. It will probably be most effective to memorize every days' events for the months of April and May each morning before class, so that detection of said changes may be easier. <br />
<br />
<br />
Note that the calendar is not bound by the [[honor code]]; some events may be made up. Additionally, even though a sports event may be scheduled, Flunk Days have occurred when the softball team has had a game, or the golf team has had a tournament.<br />
<br />
===Helmut===<br />
<br />
If, by some chance, you happen to be out getting drunk with Helmut, try asking him when it is. <br />
<br />
<br />
===Parking lots, and Residents===<br />
<br />
On occasion, several large vehicles (trailers and such) have been spotted in parking lots around Galesburg, the day before Flunk Day. If you have a car, its best to do a scouting of the large parking lots around town daily. Often the residents of Galesburg get an idea its Flunk Day before the campus does. Residents have noted seeing parking lots full of these vehicles, strange goings-on at Wal-Mart, and other activities indicative of a "large drunken orgy" of sorts. When the petting zoos, and carnival equipment roll into town, the residents notice.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Pammy===<br />
<br />
Keep close tabs on [[Pamela Schuller|Pam]]. This is key. Do not believe one word that she says. she can not be trusted. <br />
<br />
<br />
===Roger and Anne Taylor===<br />
<br />
Rumor has it the Taylors are not usually around for the big day. Past absences have included trustee meetings and trips to the farm. Being familiar with their schedules can be informative. When asked today (Sunday, May 3) by a visiting student if leaving campus Wednesday morning would cause her (the student) to miss Flunk Day, Anne insisted she has absolutely no idea when Flunk Day is. According to her, she and Roger "have to work anyway, so it doesn't really matter."<br />
<br />
==Rumors & Scares==<br />
<br />
The first generally known Flunk Day scare occurred around 4:30 a.m. on Thursday, April 16. Subjects stormed Seymour and the quads with a bullhorn and a hammer to bang on what appeared to be a mini-keg. They were apprehended by two members of campus security on West St. One of the guys was a total dick about it, but the other one was cool.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Sunday, March 1===<br />
In a surprise move, [[Xavier Romano|Xavier]] and the [[Flunk Day Committee]] may surprise campus with the earliest Flunk Day ever, coming even before [[Winter Term]] finals ... Ugh. Too soon?<br />
<br />
===Sunday, March 29===<br />
Ah, the [[Flunk Day Season]] has arrived! With the season, of course, come various mostly-unfounded claims about the exact date of [[Flunk Day]]. <br />
If this is your first [[Flunk Day Season]], do not fall into one of these common ruts when deciding on your predictions:<br />
<br />
'''- Flunk Day is Tomorrow.'''<br />
<br />
'''- Don't assume that all events on the calenders actually exist.'''<br />
<br />
'''- Don't rely on the forecast. Rain just helps in the making of the [[mud pit]].'''<br />
<br />
'''- Don't believe any of the Upperclassmen. Ever.'''<br />
<br />
'''- On second thought, do listen to the Upperclassmen. Why would they steer you wrong?'''<br />
<br />
'''- Don't believe any of the Faculty. Ever.'''<br />
<br />
'''- No matter what [[Xavier Romano]] claims, [[Flunk Day]] ''will not'' be on a Friday.'''<br />
<br />
'''- The Flunk Day planners will not give you clues as to when the actual day is.'''<br />
<br />
'''- Everything they say and do may just be screwing with you. Always keep that in mind.'''<br />
<br />
<br />
Considering the semi-promising weather we have been having, and after a cursory look at a few schedules, my official prediction for [[Flunk Day 2009]] is '''''Tuesday, April 14th'''''. But that's too early, really. It would probably make more sense if Flunk Day were '''''Wednesday, April 29th''''', especially considering that the 14th has already passed.<br />
<br />
===Tuesday, April 14===<br />
Obviously, Flunk day was not today.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Wednesday, April 15===<br />
A precursor to [[Xavier Romano]]'s official Flunk Day Letter came today.<br />
<br />
---------------------------<br />
<br />
''[From Dean Xavier Romano]<br />
<br />
Imagine sometime last evening, a first-year Knox student--thinking themselves rather savvy and seasoned having made it through two terms at Knox--picks up their cell phone and rings me near midnight. Just imagine that.<br />
<br />
So...I reach for my cell--of course, thinking there is some "situation" on campus--only to hear a woman's voice asking in earnest and with all seriousness, the following (transcript of the phone conversation):<br />
Frightened First-Year (FFY): "Is this Dean Romano?"<br />
<br />
'''Dean X:''' "Yes..."<br />
<br />
'''FFY:''' "Dean Romano, is that you?"<br />
<br />
'''Dean X:''' "Why yes...are you ok?"<br />
<br />
(giggles heard in background)<br />
<br />
'''FFY:''' "So, it is you?"<br />
<br />
'''Dean X:''' "What do you want?"<br />
<br />
'''FFY:''' "Is tomorrow Flunks Day?"<br />
<br />
'''Dean X:''' "You mean Flunk Day? It's not plural."<br />
<br />
'''FFY:''' "Yes, that's it!"<br />
<br />
(turns to others in the room and says...)<br />
<br />
"It's Flunk Day and not Flunks Day"<br />
<br />
(laughter can be heard in background)<br />
<br />
'''Dean X:''' "Go to bed. No; tomorrow is not Flunk Day--too cold and not enough Flunk Day scares. Clearly, tomorrow (today) is not the Great Day of Flunk...so, go to bed, do what it is you do, but know that Wednesday is not Flunk Day."<br />
<br />
'''FFY:''' "Thank you, Dean Romano. You're telling the truth, right?"<br />
<br />
'''Dean X:''' "Go to bed. On something of this magnitude, would I lie? No--mislead, reshape, rephrase, misquote, or omit intentionally...possibly. Lie? No."<br />
<br />
(phone hangs up)<br />
But I am reminded to share with one and all Knoxies who dare...the Season of the Flunk has come to Knox College. Be afraid...be very afraid =-O and have a nice day!<br />
<br />
'''''-Dean Xavier'''''<br />
<br />
The Flunk clock has now started...you are so advised.<br />
More Dia de Flunk info coming your way soon...very soon indeed! ''<br />
<br />
------------------------<br />
<br />
'''From this letter, we can conclude three things:<br />
<br />
1. Xavier must get a ''LOT'' of drunk dials.<br />
<br />
2. The First-Years are in desperate need of a committed Scaring.<br />
<br />
3. Flunk Day is obviously tomorrow.<br />
<br />
In honor of Dean Romano's "coy little wink" from last year... ;)'''<br />
<br />
We can also conclude from Xavier's email that Flunk Day will, in fact, be on May 5. There is nothing on the calendar for May 5, and Xavier threw in the "Dia de Flunk" reference as a clue. What better day for Flunk Day than Cinco de Mayo?<br />
<br />
===Thursday, April 16th===<br />
In possibly the lamest flunk day scare ever, students living in the quads were woken up at 4:45am to hooligans with a megaphone shouting "Come outside it's FLUNK DAY!!" However, due to the fact that today is Admitted Students day, students knew that it could not be flunk day and were annoyed for being woken up at 5 am for no reason whatsoever. Robert David Carey was pissed off.<br />
--<br />
<br />
===Friday April 17===<br />
<br />
The following email was received from Dean Romano:<br />
<br />
Today is NOT Flunk Day<br />
<br />
Indeed, today would have been a perfect day for Flunk Day. One glance at the weather, a look toward the sky, and a touch of our Midwest wind, all tell us that today would have been a perfect day for Flunk Day. But no! Admission had to have its Open House with all the "prospies" and their parents around and we've been told to be on our best behavior.<br />
<br />
Argue as I may as your loyal and unwavering Dean, I attempted to articulate to both President Taylor and uber Vice President Steenis that had Flunk Day happened today, we would have had 100% fall enrollment of those who were allowed to participate in the Day of the Flunk. The greatest concern, I'm told, was that the parents (aka mother and father of the prospies) would force their sons and daughters to enroll at Monmouth College while they (the parents) enrolled at Knox. Sadly, our housing is not designed for individuals of such amorous relationships that, ultimately, resulted in said prospies.<br />
<br />
While it is true that there are those among us who disdain and dislike the Day of Flunk, such as Salleha Chaudhry and Elaine Wilson or even some professors, I am convinced that we can overrun the Villa or their offices, on call, if need be. Be aware that there are some anti-Flunk Day dissenters in our midst!<br />
<br />
Wishing one and all a wonderful weekend. Be nice to the prospies and remember that Monday could be "El Dia de Flunk!"<br />
<br />
-Dean X<br />
<br />
<br />
===Sunday, April 19===<br />
Deana Rutherford, Editor-in-Chief of The Knox Student, received this e-mail from Jenn Snider at 9:41 p.m. on April 19:<br />
<br />
Deana,<br />
I was wondering when you were going to have the Flunk Day issue of the TKS ready. I know you all had started working on it a while ago, but I haven't seen it yet. I need to have it ASAP if you want it to go out on the big day. Let me know when I can get it from you!<br />
Thanks!<br />
Jenn<br />
<br />
Deana replied to the note stating that Jenn would receive the issue by Tuesday, April 21, and asking if there was a concrete deadline for the issue's receipt. Her weaseling was unsuccessful:<br />
<br />
As with all things Flunk Day related, all I can tell you is the sooner the better!<br />
Jenn<br />
<br />
<br />
The [http://www.knox.edu/x13517.xml?category=&view=week&month=5&year=2009&date=3 week of May 3rd] looks particularly suspect. so does the week of April 27th<br />
<br />
<br />
===Wednesday, April 22===<br />
Even lamer "Not-Flunk Day" scare at 7:39am, by some sillies alerting the campus that, indeed, "It's not Flunk Day!!!".<br />
<br />
<br />
===Monday, April 27th===<br />
<br />
10:03pm<br />
Group of students from Longden 1 (and Ben Robbins, and Conger 3 and Neal 2 and Bekah Bally) begin making the mud pit. Soon after, Campus Security interferes and ends the fun. Longden 1 is suffering heavy fines. Oh well, such is the life of a Knox Flunk Day enthusiast. Rub some dirt on it. Note the absence of the all male floor of Conger 1 that consists of Brett Daley, Lei Wei, Mego, Zirkle, Jordan Ball, Bill Schaefer, Alex Davis, (Cute) Bob Dempster, Matt Goedeke, Josh Livingston, Danny Stafford, and Scott Pinker. What a bunch of wusses! They should have known their responsibility upon receiving their roomming assignment for the year. <br />
<br />
However, several hours later after security had vanished the faithful Conger/Neal residents were at it again for a good ten minutes before several assigned spotters informed the diggers that campus safety was circling the quads, and the diggers bolted. Luckily, the mud pit is now at a point where it will be finished in time for flunk day, even if it isn't worked on again until the morning of. <br />
<br />
<br />
10:50 PM Pam's status says she is tired and going to bed.<br />
<br />
11:30 PM Pam is heard outside of Four Name saying something about Vodka... wait, wasn't she in bed? Flunk Day?<br />
<br />
11:44 PM Pam and another Flunk Day planner leave the Gizmo after a short meeting. Neither one got anything to eat or drink. A notebook and a laptop were sighted.<br />
<br />
It should be noted that there are two real softball games on Monday, April 27th. Says who? Not the calendaaaaaaaaaaaaar!<br />
If you go to the sports events it does say the MWC Tournament is tomorrow morning. If you go to the Midwest Conference website the Tournament isn't scheduled until May 1-2.<br />
<br />
11:58 PM Clown cars spotted by Kaldi's<br />
<br />
12:15 AM Clown Cars were relocated to an empty lot near Henderson and Losey<br />
<br />
12:38 AM 90% change of thunderstorms all day tomorrow, give it up. <br />
<br />
12:38 AM Also, the quickie lady told me last week flunk day was this week... Apparently the school tells them in advance so they dont run out of booze/sunchips for the rest of their customers... But due to the imminent rain, its totally going to be rescheduled. Give it up.<br />
<br />
12:47 AM Pam is seen getting into a mysterious vehicle outside of her house...wasn't she supposed to be sleeping?<br />
<br />
12:53 AM Activity in mail room confirmed<br />

<br />
1:03 AM Elaine Wilson answered her phone; not flunk day.<br />
So what, maybe she hasn't been picked up yet. Resume drinking!<br />
<br />

<br />
1:24 AM Making of the mud pit resumes. Some Conger 1 residents grow a pair and help out.<br />
<br />

<br />
2:05 AM Alumna (AND PAST FLUNK DAY PLANNER) Meryl Leventon spotted loading a duffel and multiple shopping bags into current senior (and SUPPOSED flunk day "hater" (didn't you wake people up last year? hmm?) Jenny Davis' car outside of Knoxcrest. Jenny did not pick up her phone when called.<br />
<br />
2:27 AM Activity in quads comes to a screeching halt. Mud pit diggers go back to Conger and Neal. Oh well...it's been fun. Maybe Tuesday or Wednesday. Goodnight.<br />
<br />
2:29 AM Lights still on in mail room.<br />
<br />
2:34 AM Pam's favorite color is Kelly Green. We would have also accepted chartreuse.<br />
<br />
2:35 AM Pam not yet asleep. Spotted commenting on Facebook, including Sam Jarvis's status update in which he claims to know when Flunk Day is. This is highly suspect. The light in her room is on!<br />
<br />
2:46 AM Flunk Day updates are getting obnoxious.<--No, YOU'RE getting obnoxious. Zing!<----WOW I really don't know what to say back to that!<br />
<br />
2:56 AM What is the lastest???? I NEEEEEED TO KNOW!!!!!! Does the storm really not cancel the prospects of tomorrow being the big day???<br />
<br />
3:00 Pam Schuller is currently on Sigma Nu porch, and she may be intoxicated! I repeat, Pam is drunk on SNu porch!>--------------------This a false statement, she is in fact in my pants at the momoent.<br />

<br />
3:08 AM Investigated the sightings at American Value by peaking in the vans and trailers. Definitely looks like air compressors. Your mom's an air compressor, and if your mom is an air compressor, then tomorrow is Flunk Day fo' sho'.<br />
<br />
3:12 AM Yeah but it is pouring!!!<br />
<br />
3:12 AM Nope, sightings of clown cars are false (a hoax) and Pam was just hanging out at Sigma Chi. Not enough information, and it's raining. Game over! <-- don't believe it. Flunk day is tomorrow.<br />
<br />
03:15 AM Und wenn Sie nicht gestorben sind, leben Sie nach heute....>------this is America, you need to speak American<br />
<br />
3:15 AM I just called Jenny Davis and had phone sex. I lasted 20 seconds.<br />
<br />
3:19 AM Santa Clause's sleigh spotted over Old Main. A notable lacking of Rudolph at the front. It's flunk day.<br />
<br />
3:21 AM This is not even funny anymore... the truth must be told!! yea or nay already?!! >------ The sooner you sleep, the sonner you'll know.<br />
<br />
3:23 AM We went down Henderson to search for mysterious vehicles, but got sidetracked by Taco Bell. Mmmmmm nachos <---- Doesn't Taco Bell close at 3:00am? <---- Nope, it's still open, go enjoy the delicious.<br />
<br />
3:25 AM IGNORE ME!!!<br />
<br />
3:27 AM: It's official! Xavier is in his office! FLUNK DAY IS 100% TODAY! <--- Duh. <----- Check if he has erection. It's the only way to know for sure.<br />
<br />
3:30 AM: It's double official! Xavier is in his office, ripping the shit out of his 4 ft bong. (as everyone knows, Xavier's daily use bong is only 2 ft) >----- I always thought his office smelled a little off.<br />
<br />
3:33 AM: Pam is in her room I can see her through her window reading the wiki-fire and she has no pants on love the Pam stalker club...Pam has a 4-foot long erection oh wait she is 4 ft tall.<br />
<br />
3:54 AM: I took a hit of acid. The sky unzipped itself showing God and all of her splendor. She spoke unto me the forth coming day of flunk is tomorrow. She spoke in great length of my sexual prowess, the meaning of life, and minutely of flunk day and the festivities it will include.<----Can I buy some acid?<br />
<br />
4:10 AM They're mowing the lawns. It's Flunk Day. <--- Wow, I didn't know Flunk Day happened that often... <--- little known fact. I'm a senior, so I obviously know. Also, a founding member of the Pam Schuller Stalker Club. We're going to have T-shirts.<br />
<br />
4:19 AM Loading a bowl, in case of Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
4:20 AM Smoking a bowl.<br />
<br />
4:20 AM Bong Rips for Flunk Day <--- You've been sitting here and refreshing this page for the last 4 hours just to post that haven't you? HAHA <-- Me too! <--- It'll tear you apart, It'll drive you insane!<br />
<br />
4:20 AM Becky W. is drinking. This is a VERY reliable sign. <- Becky gave my a BJ. This is another obvious sign.<br />
<br />
4:29 AM Pam posts the following Facebook status update: "Pamela is about to turn off her light and go to bed" Look, I can beat you all to it! Night night stalkers. <---IS SHE REALLY SLEEPING? OR IS IT JUST A CLEVER RUSE? She lied about going to bed before. She could do it again.<br />
<br />
The safety e-mail has not gone out yet, keep in mind. But also, what if the safety e-mail will never come?!<br />
<br />
5:18 AM Took a drive around campus and checked mailboxes. There is *no* Flunk Dayish activity on campus (anywhere), the trucks at the Broadview hotel are still there (and dark), and nothing special was in my mailbox. Looks like today is not "El Dia de Flunk"<br />
<br />
5:21 AM The realization that spending an entire night refreshing this page did little to complete my work or make it flunk day is starting to sink in.<br />
<br />
5:22 AM FUCK <---- I feel ya. Oh well, back to work and lets hope it can be a little late, right?<br />
<br />
5:26 AM Best scare ever. You win this one, Xavier. But the war is not yet over.<br />
<br />
5:40 AM Xavier witnessed hitting his normal 2 footer for his routine wake and bake: it is officially not Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
5:48 AM Xavier = 3,456,875. Student Body = 0. Lets just blame this whole scare on Xavier and dock him a 1 point penalty for cheating. So, Xavier = 3,456,874. Student Body Still at 0. We're getting closer...ever so closer...We'll win yet, the revolution is coming!!!<br />
<br />
5:52 AM Yes, it will come...soon... I do however respectfully disagree good sir. 3,456,875 is the combined score of Xavier + Roger + Schlaf, of which 1,276,981 come form the times I've been busted doing coke, of which 285,396 times I was with Xavier and 356,155 were with Roger, these should not be counted. The score respectively should be 2,815,323 to 0.<br />
<br />
5:58 AM If sleeping with a family member of any of the aforementioned individuals counts for the S.B though, the score should be 2,815,323 to 2,815,322.<br />
<br />
6:01 AM No F-Day email, it is not today. Good scare ya'll! Lets solicit a "shamed woman of society" to bring the score to an even 2,815,323 each for a price no more than $60, we'll pay her with a bag of what ever dank Xavier uses. Xavier way be weak minded under the influence of his morning ritual.<br />
<br />
7:17 AM - [[Matt Hundley]] declares it is Flunk Day - if only because he's got wayyy too much stuff to do today and figures that getting wasted would be a much better use of his time than graduating. Meep.<br />
<br />
10:22 AM - New email from Xavier:<br />
<br />
[From Dean Romano]<br />
<br />
Last night, just before midnight-ish, I received a text message from Student Senator, Heather Kopec, stating, "I know it's Flunk Day tomorrow!" I did not respond to the Senate President "wanna be."<br />
<br />
Then sometime around 1:00 a.m. (insomnia...what can I say?), Paige Barnum, ATP president--and just maybe the most organized individual at Knox--texted..."Lots of big vans and trailers parked at hotel on square--must be Flunk Day, Xavier!"<br />
<br />
Wrong, wrong, wrong.<br />
<br />
Last night I had the pleasure of attending the TKE Chapter meeting...sorry, can't comment...super-secret stuff talked about. The gentlemen could not leave well enough alone and asked about 'El Dia de Flunk.'<br />
<br />
"When is it, oh Exalted One?"<br />
<br />
"Exalted Ones never talk."<br />
<br />
Too cold today, but it does remind me to get the rules out soon--very soon. And check that Prairie Fire athletic schedule. We do what we can.<br />
<br />
One thing is certain...Flunk Day is closer than you might think. Ha!<br />
<br />
1:30 PM: A student working in the caf overhears helmut and two caf workers talking about a flunk day menu...<br />
<br />
During 5th period, Helmut was seen leaving the Campus Life Office. Talking to Jenn Snider, perhaps?<br />
<br />
4:00 PM Helmut is seen holding a meeting with all caf workers at the back of the caf.<br />
<br />
6:30 PM Flunk Day planner Virginia Graves is overheard in the caf talking about the multitude of hours she must spend in the Union Board office tonight. Granted, there's a regularly scheduled Union Board meeting tonight, but she even mentioned sleeping on the couches.<br />
<br />
8:31 PM It's raining.<br />
<br />
8 50 pm - FLUNK DAY IS ON MAY 5TH.. 100 percent confirmed<br />
<br />
===Tuesday, April 28th===<br />
Seems like nobody actually thinks it'll be today. Well, aside from a few reports of side references and a couple of sly words from people in high places.<br />
<br />
Let's face it, having the day of Flunk on a Tuesday would result in fewer skipped classes. Although that is the express intention of the day, it seems logical that the less classes skipped, the better academically. Whatever.<br />
<br />
Stuart Allison has said twice, in passing conversation, that Flunk Day will be Tuesday. <br />
<br />
Xavier Romano has said twice, in passing conversation, that Flunk Day will be Tuesday.<br />
<br />
George Steckley has made it very clear to his European Enlightenment class that if Flunk Day should occur on a Tuesday or Thursday, they won't be meeting for class on the following day. He even printed this policy on a handout that was issued in class today. <br />
<br />
NOTE: the events calendar for Tuesday has 2 scheduled speakers and a workshop. However, both the scheduled speakers are from nearby in IA. This means rescheduling would not be a problem. The senior class speaker forum also is Tuesday. This may or may not have any bearing on the occurrence of flunkness, but should be taken into consideration.<br />
<br />
ALSO: Those pointing to Sherwood Kiraly's Caxton Club reading being scheduled tomorrow as evidence that it can't be Flunk Day should note that Kiraly is a Knox grad and is teaching at Knox this coming year. He could very well be in on an elaborate plot to make us think Flunk Day is not, in fact, Tuesday.<br />
<br />
8:45 PM There are at least five or six caf workers still mulling about in the caf, looking busy and suspicious. <br />
<br />
9:18 PM Six trailers spotted outside the Holiday Inn. It's on. Those sneaky bastards. '''False!!!''' No trailers of any kind spotted at the Holiday Inn.<br />
<br />
9:44 PM Where is Pam? Where is Jenny Davis? Someone, keep an eye out for them -- if it's Flunk Day, both of them will be acting strangely. <br />
<br />
10:01 PM Xavier has not sent out the Flunk Day safety email. How will first years know that alcohol, illicit drugs, and mud are explicitly NOT condoned by Knox College if we haven't gotten this email yet? Tomorrow's out for Flunk Day, punks.<br />
<br />
10:06 PM Knowing Xavier's power to do anything he wants, perhaps the safety e-mail will be sent out early in the morning ON Flunk Day itself, because everyone knows the first thing students do on Flunk Day is check their e-mail to make sure it is, indeed, Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
10:26 PM According to reliable Sophomore sources, Audrey Savage and Lexie Frensley, there are two mysterious trailers outside an abandoned grocery store, Econo foods. There is also a truck without a trailer in the parking lot of the Holiday Inn.<br />
<br />
10:38 PM According to more reliable sources (as in 2 Juniors that have experienced Flunk Day before) there are no trailers in the Econo Foods parking lot. There is a truck sans trailer at the Holiday Inn parking lot, which means a trucker is staying at the Holiday Inn. <---Before you declare something false "experienced juniors" you should make sure to check both Econo Food lots. They were there, however empty.<br />
<br />
10:42PM There has been a sighting of a "swirlly, carnival looking machine at Walmart" <---- honestly? i didn't even check this and i'm pretty sure that it's false. very, very false. Not necessarily a carnival ride-- we don't know what it is. http://i43.tinypic.com/25ahor4.jpg<br />
<br />
10:52 PM Suspicious truck with trailer near jo ann fabrics and crafts. (what truckers would park at a jo ann fabrics? can you knit and truck at the same time?)<----- I bet some truckers knit.<br />
<br />
10:56 PM There is nothing, repeat, nothing at the high school.<br />
<br />
11:04 PM Trailers parked in the Econo Foods lot (on E. Main, not Henderson) are CONFIRMED BUT EMPTY. Leigh Ann Johnson and Sam Bernstein found them open and proceeded to investigate. No dice.<br />
<br />
11:23PM Seniors Sam Jarvis, Kim Anderson, and Elaine Wilson spotted walking north on Academy with several glow sticks...they were walking very quickly. Hey, aren't AnSo senior research rough drafts due tomorrow? Shouldn't they be in the library?<br />
<br />
11:35 PM Right off Seminary Street there was witnessed a large yellow disc with a blue center (a large spinning wheel sitting on a triangle), with the markings SKS which is a mounted ball bearings company (used in carnival rides, google sks amusement). It looks as though it cannot be an industrial machine, being far too cheery<br />
http://i43.tinypic.com/25ahor4.jpg <PHOTOSHOPPED PHOTOSHOPPED PHOTOSHOPPED PHOTOSHOPPED PHOTOSHOP PHOTOSHOP PHOTOSHOP FOTOSHOP FOTOSHOP FLUNK DAY<br />
<br />
I took this picture. I can assure you it is NOT a carnival ride. Where's the rest of it and why is the rest of the trailer empty? Also why are there no other carnival type rides nearby? Stop acting like you know... drive out to Walmart (the new one), take your own damn picture, and then talk.<br />
<br />
Second photo taken by Leigh Ann, Nikki, Matt, and Steph: http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs005.snc1/2812_1161389915416_1247869812_30441532_445274_n.jpg <- We walked up to the thing, climbed on it, and still have no clue what it is. <-- Known nerd and physics major Jon Pierce-Ruhland confirms it to be an industrial-size pulley. Not a ride... sorry<br />
<br />
11:45 Velociraptors were spotted accosting seniors Sam Jarvis, Kim Anderson, and Elaine Wilson. Flunk Day may be cancelled due to this tragedy.<br />
<br />
11:48 No Pam updates or spotting...SHADY<br />
<br />
11:49 Quite right! Pamella Rae Schuller and Jennifer Beth Davis, Flunk Day hiding "wanna be's," are notably ABSENT from campus. If anyone sees Jenny and Pam, corral them and interrogate them! - Jenny has nothing to do with flunk day! We should all follow Pammy AND Alex Clark...keep a look out of midget and Alex spottings. <br />
<br />
11:56 PM Jenny Davis updated her facebook status 16 minutes ago (not from a phone of any sorts because the little phone icon wasn't by it) so she is clearly somewhere with a computer.<br />
<br />
12:01 AM No idea what computer Jenny's using, but there's clearly some serious planning going on. Anyone in Founders? Is she on her Macbook? Is she using Mike Giese's computer?<br />
<br />
12:02 AM Sherwood Kiraly, Caxton Club Reader for tomorrow, spotted leaving campus life office with Jenn Snider WITH A FLUNK DAY T-SHIRT.<br />
FALOSE--Jenn Snider is with the finance committee, in the senate office, as they are meeting to determine club budgets and they began at 6:30 this evening. <---- and they're still there? sketch... jordan kratter answered his phone during the meeting. Confirmed that the meeting is still ongoing. Yet picked up during the meeting... not 5 mins ago.<br />
<br />
12:05 AM ^Can you confirm? This could be huge.<br />
<br />
12:10 AM Seniors Mike Dooley and Sam Jarvis, both friar candidates, could not be reached. This is of course proof of nothing.<br />
<br />
12:14 AM Jenny Davis has been on AIM (JappyJenny) for the past 50 mins. of course proof of nothing.<br />
<br />
12:15 AM IS THE SHERWOOD KIRALY THING FOR REAL?<br />
<br />
12:20 AM Velociraptor spotted devouring Sherwood Kiraly. Caxton Club definitely cancelled. <------- can we get confirmation, this could be huge <------velociraptors have moved on, definite teeth marks on bones. Compsognathus now eating remaining flesh, watch out for those ankle biters.<br />
<br />
12:26 AM SHERWOOD KIRALY PEOPLE, SHERWOOK KIRALY!!! CONFIRM!<br />
<br />
Sherwood Kiraly is not a woman fools! Correct. The man leaving campus life was mustachioed and a little goofy-looking. Someone told me that that was him.<br />
<br />
12:37 technically he is only a small pile of bones now.<br />
<br />
Pam Schull...Schulle... Pam S. was overheard talking about getting drunk tonight earlier today (Monday). So, there's that. This proves nothing. It's Pam.<br />
<br />
12:34 Light turned on in Old Main, turned off 4 minutes later<br />
<br />
12:40 AM Lights flicker in fieldhouse.<br />
<br />
12:40 AM Somewhere, someone on Knox campus is getting laid, and others are updating Wikifire. <---- Some can do both at once, you know. <------- most are refreshing Wikifire. I actually was getting laid at this time, funnily enough. <br />
<br />
12:41 AM ^Jenny Davis on a mysterious computer and AIM, perhaps doing both.<br />
<br />
12:51 AM Campus security officer spotted leaving caf. Minutes later, a different campus security officer entered. The kitchen was dimly lit.---Clearly, someone is running an underground prostitution ring in the Knox kitchen. We should probably refrain from eating anything prepared there. Good advice in general, actually. <br />
<br />
12:56 AM Car seen leaving the seymour loading dock from sellew<br />
<br />
Earlier this evening: Two students buying a lot of chasers in the c-store spoke candidly with the woman there about flunk day (hence the need for chasers). she said that all the food service staff get calls at 4:30AM the day of flunk day.<br />
<br />
1:02 AM This page has been accessed 5,898 times.<br />
<br />
1:05 AM Michael Sales [WHO IS IN INDIANA WORKING ON A PAPER, but would much rather be leaving Cherry Street with Erica Jaffe] and Erica Jaffe [Erica Jaffe is in Canada] were seen leaving Cherry Street Bar and Grill with Dean Romano. Methinks flunk day preparations were underfoot... Also has anybody seen Pammy?<br />
<br />
1:08 AM Finance Committee recessed for the evening; to be continued on Tuesday night.<br />
<br />
1:08 AM Pammy drank a hot tea concoction (no alcohol, I checked) to make sure she doesn't lose her voice. Then she took tussinex and went to bed. NOT FLUNK DAY. (She could have lied though!)<br />
<br />
1:23 AM ABOVE POST IS A RED HERRING MADE BY FLUNK DAY PLANNERS. PAM JUST SPOTTED HEADING TOWARDS WALLACE LOUNGE AREA. actually, PAMMY HAS NOT LEFT HER HOUSE! We are watching.... (There is always the possibility of bilocation.)<br />
<br />
1:23 AM Erica Jaffe contacted and is not in Galesburg. NOT FLUNK DAY.<br />
<br />
1:23 AM 5 different semi trailers were found in 4 different locations: One at Econo Foods on Henderson, which had a cab attached; One at Route-66 Gas Station on Henderson, which didn't have a cab attached; Two at Econo Foods on Main Street, both of which had no cabs attached; One that was mentioned before at the JoAnn parking lot, which did have a cab attached. Every trailer belongs to a different transportation company across the midwest, and even the two in the Econo on Main lot are different companies. Also, the Econo Foods on Main Street has a sign that clearly says, "No Parking Anytime," but according to one junior who's been very observant, the trailers have been there for a few days. Why would they be there if they weren't leaving sooooon? <-- The two trailers parked in the Econo Foods lot on Main have already been confirmed to be empty. They were left unlocked by whomever owns them.<br />
<br />
Semis always park in Econo Foods and JoAnn. If you looked around town more often you'd know that. Also, a truck driver in a hotel is hardly a sign of carnies, they sleep in trailers. <br />
<br />
Also, a semi cab was seen at the Holiday Inn on Main by Hy Vee, which is odd because semi drivers usually just sleep in the cabs and the hotel is only about a mile from the Econo on Main where the two cabless trailers are parked.<br />
<br />
The trucks and trailers at the America's Best Value Inn on the square can be confirmed, but they're more likely just railroad staff. <br />
<br />
Also spotted was a truck carrying industrial fencing, such as that used for livestock (aka mechanical bulls or maybe even pony rides!) Probably destined for a farm. <br />
<br />
Obviously these are very spread out, but a townie student has confirmed that that is more semi action than comes through here regularly, and in general the hotels aren't this full on a random Monday night. The rain is probably deterring truckers who would normally press on.<br />
<br />
1:48 NO PAM HAS BEEN SPOTTED. Where is Pam? It is like where's Waldo but funnier cause she is a midget! She MUST be off with the Friars! Or getting ready for the Friars! Seriously, nobody has seen her all night!<br />
<br />
1:51 AM Pammy is in bed watching TV. Flunk day. <br />
<br />
1:57 AM Pam is on Facebook chat. Jenny Davis nowhere to be found. Could she be rounding up the Friars? (Jenny Davis has been heard in the area of Sigma Chi by two students doing homework. She apparently claims to have nothing to do with Flunk Day)<br />
<br />
1:58 AM Anyone seen Ginny Graves' status? She needs coffee. Bad. Why's that, Ginny? Got a long FLUNK DAY ahead of you?<br />
<br />
2:04 AM Pam was only on facebook chat for a minute. Maybe she was looking up the whereabouts of a friar...<br />
<br />
2:08 AM JENNY DAVIS seen on Facebook chat. Her status? "[Jenny Davis] has nothing to do with flunk day. stop stalking me!" Can we trust her word? Or is this a clear display of irony?<br />
<br />
2:05 EVERYONE, Jenny Davis has nothing to do with Flunk Day. I am SURE of this.<br />
<br />
2:24 Actually, Jenny Davis could potentially have everything to do with Flunk Day. Perhaps she's acting as Pam's gopher, while Pam lounges in her room, drinking her Tussinex and tea. Perhaps Pam's restfulness is a front, and Jenny Davis is the one pushing all the pieces into place for Pam (i.e. rounding up the Friars, etc.). So don't rule Jenny out. She would be the perfect behind-the-scenes girl: she's stealthy.<br />
<br />
2:41 AM Spotted: Pammy rolling in the mudpit by herself. Flunk day?<br />
<br />
3:05 AM A noticeable lack of activity, both on the Wiki Fire and presumably on campus. Is that it for tonight? Is it safe to say Flunk Day is NOT today?---It is never safe to assume this. Flunk Day will sneak up on you when you are least expecting it: this at least we should all know by now. Besides, everybody but you has already realized it's Flunk Day already. They've started drinking without you.<br />
<br />
3:12 AM No.<br />
<br />
3:45 AM If sunrise comes and no Flunk Day announcement has been made, is it safe to say Flunk Day is not today?<--Xavier's tricks. If there's no email get schlitzed and check again, you'll see it.<br />
<br />
4:16 AM Loading a bowl, whether or not Flunk Day approaches.<br />
<br />
4:20 AM Smoking a bowl.<br />
<br />
4:42 AM I hate flunk day.<br />
<br />
4;44 AM Flunk Day could still be today. But it probably won't be.<br />
<br />
5:08 AM Everyone should get some sleep. Pammy is :)<br />
<br />
5:14 AM Who can confirm Pammy's sleep? Better be sure it's not Flunk Day before you sleep.<br />
<br />
5:48 AM Just got back from a twenty-minute stroll around campus. The caf is preparing for breakfast. No visible mailroom activity. No unusual activity. No e-mail. No Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
5:49 AM Woke from a dream about flunk day with a boner. if thats not a sign i dont know what is<br />
<br />
5:55 AM I woke up this morning in a hot sweat and disoriented. It took me a few seconds to remember what i was dreaming about, but it finally came back to me that I was dreaming about fulfilling one of my darkest fantasies about having sex with a midget when I was about to finish and she started to convulse and is when I woke up. Silly me, it was only Pam Schuller and it wasn't convulsions and was just her tourettes. If this isn't a clear indicator that flunk day is tomorrow, then I don't know what is.<br />
<br />
===Wednesday, April 29th===<br />
Two home baseball games against Illinois College appear on the Knox events calendar, but the Illinois College schedule says they are playing Knox on May 2nd. After careful investigation, this game was a reschedule from earlier in the season. Clearly, Knox updates its athletic calendar with more frequency than Illinois College. Even so, rescheduling may only indicate a greater chance of today being Flunk Day: after all, if it was rescheduled after Flunk Day was planned, there was no way the planners could've scheduled around it. Real or not, these games mean nothing.<br />
<br />
NOTE: Small Housing Lottery takes place on Wednesday night. Given the important nature of this event and the insider knowledge of Craig Southern, this could indicate Wednesday is not Flunk Day. Or, quite the opposite...<br />
<br />
ALSO, Illinois College is actually scheduled to play MacMurray college on this day, and the MacMurray college baseball schedule reflects this. Are BOTH Illinois College and MacMurray college's baseball schedules wrong? Can Illinois college be two places at once? (Cool!) Their appearance at Knox AND another college is unlikely, therefore it must be Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
10:40 Student worker claims she saw the Caf. workers making the same cookies that were made for Flunk day last year.<br />
<br />
10:41 There are men placing a bunch of fold up tables on the Gizmo patio. Flunk Day Wednesday?<br />
<br />
10:55 AM: They are mowing the lawns. OBVIOUSLY, Flunk Day is tomorrow.-----> they always mow the lawns on Tuesday! <br />
<br />
1:09 PM Pam heard outside a window in the quads talking on the phone about "a large purchase order for to-morrow" that will be picked up "between 4:00 and 4:15"...AM or PM was not specified. WHAT DOES IT MEAN?<br />
<br />
2:08 PM: Arlen Specter is a Democrat. Your Flunk Day is invalid.<br />
<br />
2:23 PM: According to Pam, her honors defense is tomorrow. Proof that it isn't flunk day, or could this be a coverup?<--Coverup, definitely. I assume Pam scheduled her honors defense so that it would coincide with Flunk Day, thus offering a sweet coverup, plus an extra day for her to work. <-- Risky, because then she would have to tell her professors the right day and her friends the wrong day and hope that nobody figures out the discrepancy. Someone go ask Jen Smith or Neil Blackadder when Pam's honors defense is.<br />
Pam doesn't get to choose which day is Flunk Day... she just knows when it is. So it could be on the day of her honors defense... it would just suck for her.<br />
Why would she have to tell her professors the right day? It's not as if anyone's going to be like, "oh Flunk Day happened, so you don't get to do honors another day, sorry."<br />
<br />
3:11 PM Knox theatre professor Kelly Lynn Hogan comments on Knox theatre professor Lindsey Snyder's wall saying QUOTE: <br />
<br />
Lindsey Snyder might be the only faculty member that wants flunk day<br />

<br />
Kelly Lynn Hogan at 11:19am April 28<br />
Puh-lease. Don't imagine this to be true. I am poised. It's gotta be tomorrow. And, never underestimate the desire to PLAY in Craig. Flunk Day IS the reason that he BECAME faculty at Knox, after his student-days.<br />
<br />
Is Kelly right?!<br />
<br />
Even if she is right, that proves absolutely nothing. How would she know?<br />
<br />
Screw it. If enough of us get drunk tomorrow morning, it's flunk day. Who's in?<-------Me, but can we get confirmation on this, it could be huge <----- Tomorrow? I want to start now.<br />
<br />
5:04 PM Seedy adults spotted across the street from SMC. One, small, wearing a fedora. The other, rotund, wearing a goatee. <--they just stopped by in Admissions. One's an alum and the other is applying to come here. Also spotted: large, white Isuzu SUV parked outside post. Inside, grownup female examining MapQuest directions. <br />
<br />
5:43 PM I've received news that there is a prospective students day Friday. Is that true? Would there be enough time to clean the school up before then if flunk day is indeed wednesday or thursday? <--yes, there are prospies coming Friday <-- I think they could have it cleaned up enough by then. They clean it up pretty fast. <--- it's not like the "official" admitted students day, so although there are some prospies coming, it's not as legit.<br />
<br />
5:57 PM This is getting out of hand.<br />
<br />
6:00 PM Mysterious girl with dark-red pigtails in the fashion of Tiger Lily from Disney's Peter Pan spotted with scruffy boy dressed as a common Townie, wearing leopard print sunglasses. Is one of them Xavier in disguise? And why were they entering a dorm in the quads? Could one of them, possibly Xavier in disguise, be rounding up a Friar?<br />
<br />
6;05 PM CAN YOU CONFIRM? THIS COULD BE IUbfdjkbfkjbkbcv<br />
<br />
6:06 PM Wikifire editor witnessed being mauled by a vicious velociraptAAAUUUGHHHHHH!<br />
<br />
6:07 PM Witness to Wikifire editor's murder also murdered. Luckily I'm watching on closed-circuit TV from my secret Flunk Day Reconnoissance bunker. NOT Renaissance bunker.<br />
<br />
6:16 PM Helmut spotted moving large folding tables from Ferris Lounge to that hallway where all the other lounges are. A student who works with food services has confirmed that there are no special events or banquets to be held in the near future...EXCEPT FOR THE DAY OF FLUNK!<br />
<br />
6:30 PM Gina Franco, right before the ghost of Sherwood Kiraly's Caxton Club reading, confided in one of her brightest students that she "heard a rumor Flunk Day is tomorrow." Given Gina's amiable personality and networking on campus, it's safe to assume this "rumor" was probably whispered into her ear by her cat Romulus while she slumbered at 8:30 P.M. the previous night.<br />
<br />
6:55 PM Why are you still reading this? Get out and look for clues already!<br />
<br />
6:57 PM Craig Southern seen walking from Seymour towards Post with a large quantity of paper towels.<br />
<br />
7:30 PM Dean Romano was seen on wikifire. Has he been updating the page with false information?<br />
<br />
7:40 PM A phone call with one of the actors involved with Pam's Honors Project confirmed that she set Sunday, April 19th (two Sundays ago) as the date she wanted it done by. She also told the actors and crew that she wouldn't know anything about her project until Monday. This doesn't confirm that her project tomorrow is a cover up, but it does show that there's some wiggle room for her to reschedule the Honors Defense. I smell a hoaxxxxx.....<br />
<br />
7:42 PM Student reports that a meeting with the Dean could not be scheduled for tomorrow, even though the Dean's schedule is clear...<br />
<br />
8:08 PM Flunk Day Planner Ginny is seen walking around the second floor of the library.<br />
<br />
8:20 PM FD planner Ginny seen pacing in the library and overheard saying that something had arrived<br />
<br />
8:54 PM Planner Ginny, while pacing the library, explicitly states to Mike Payne, "You are allowed to drink because you're over 21 on Flunk Day, which is tomorrow" (!) <---It's always tomorrow though.. <----Why the focus on individuals? Find and confirm mass absences of seniors aka friars!<br />
<br />
9:00 PM Pam and Randy Geary seen leaving Campus Life/Founders area together <br />
<br />
9:01 PM Jenn Snyder and Liesl Pereira seen entering Campus Life Office and closing the door. Minutes later, they emerge, Liesl holding a stack of papers. <------ Liesl is a junior so that's not that big of a deal... keep an eye on Jenn!<-----Liesl is on finance committee and they are finishing budgeting for clubs tonight...that's why the two of them are walking around with paper.<br />
<br />
9:13 PM Spotted: Jenny Davis and Ginny Graves getting together and making plans to walk to the apartments together<br />
<br />
9:17 PM RA's seen putting tarps down on in their suites <--- Means nothing. RAs don't know when Flunk Day is, tarps are just laid down whenever they're given out, and last year it was a couple weeks before FD.<br />
<br />
9:29 PM A member of the golf team stated that a.] they were fucked over on Flunk Day last year b.] the administration promised they wouldn't have to miss it this year c.] the golfers leave for conferences early tomorrow. <--Maybe the golf team should stop planning things on Flunk Day.<--------- the actual tournament is on Thursday according to the events calender. <-----the golf team is leaving Wed. AFTERNOON.<br />
<br />
9:29 PM Rotund alumni reads this and does not like being called rotund despite in fact being rotund. He is drunk in hotel room with skinny prospect hoping Wed. is Flunk Day so that he can relive past glories and celebrate with the sprats. He has driven from MS for this. And he does admit to looking shady, as Big Mitch of Class of '99 was always shady. :)<br />
<br />
9:24 PM Keep a close eye on Jenny Davis. Rumor has it she'll announce the dawn of Flunk Day by landing her flying saucer (SPOTTED at Wal*Mart on Monday!: http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs005.snc1/2812_1161389915416_1247869812_30441532_445274_n.jpg) in the EXACT LOCATION of the Crop Circle in the lawn between the prairie and the Caf. Jenny Davis will then produce a megaphone from betwixt her ample bosoms and issue a strident call:<br />
<br />
FLUNK DAY IS TODAY!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
9:27 PM That's what Jenny is capable of doing when Flunk Day arrives.<br />
<br />
9:28 PM Xavier spotted sneaking into a room in the Quads holding something BIG under his arm. His 4-foot bong, perhaps?<br />
<br />
9:29 PM Or perhaps the "4-foot bong" is simply a metaphor for none other than the Flunk Day fox herself: Pam Schuller!<br />
<br />
9:30 PM Keep watching for details. Details.<br />
<br />
9:36 PM RA's find out their placement for next year by email from campus life. In addition, RA posts unnecessary update on Flunk Day 2009 page.<br />
<br />
9:46 PM Large RV with electronic equipment spotted in the parking lot at Walmart. <--- They wouldn't put the stuff at wal-mart. It would more likely be at the Best Western on main street.<--- it took up like 8 spaces! go check it out before you nay say <--- but wal-mart lets anyone park in their lot overnight. It could just be people traveling on the interstate.<br />
<br />
9:47 Still no FD Safety email. But vicki sibley is probably still on campus since she recently sent out that ctl letter..<br />
<br />
10:03 PM Just so everyone knows, according to Pam her honors defense is tomorrow AND her outside examiner is flying in from California. Which would make it a tad difficult to reschedule. This proves nothing, but its food for thought.<br />
<br />
10:05 PM The website for the Midwest Conference in baseball has Illinois College scheduled to play us here tomorrow. http://www.midwestconference.org/baseball/schedule.asp Probably not Flunk Day given that...<---It should be noted that those games were rescheduled (which accounts for the discrepancy on Illinois College's calendar) which means FD planners may not have been able to schedule around these games. It's still Flunk Day tomorrow.<br />
<br />
10:06 PM shit...<br />
<br />
10:08 PM Kitchen staff says not tomorrow. Community Orchestra concert on the 6th has been planned since January, so not then either. Obviously they are lying. Their calendar for tomorrow is clear. I checked it myself.<br />
<br />
10:11 PM Adam Mcdowell updates his Twitter: I'm pretty sure Pam's drunk. I just got a text message saying "Penis." Flunk Day is tomorrow.<br />

10:14 PM Adam Mcdowell has spoken, it is truth<br />

11:07 More details to come soon, but certain people were leaving Campus Life and they are reported to have made certain incriminating statements. Prepare your stashes.<br />

11:34 The date of Flunk Day '09 will undoubtedly be influenced by the impending swine flu. Sunday: National State of Emergency Declared. Monday, Tuesday: Swine flu in Ohio. Wednesday: FLUNK DAY. Flunk day mudpit devoid of highly-virulent strains of terrible diseases for all!<br />

11:37 One potentially-fake prospie visiting? No way. Not right before deposits are due. (May 1) FLUNK DAY. <- Who says they're fake? I got the lunch hosting e-mail, and the kid actually goes to Naperville North. So it's highly probable to be true.<br />
<br />
11:40 A number of Knox students have grown exceedingly tired of the Velociraptor references as [[Velociraptors]] are extinct and unlikely to influence the date of Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
11:36 An equal (or greater) number of Knox students have voted that all raptor-hating trolls just STFU. Raptors may be extinct, and zombies may not exist, but it helps to have a contingency plan for both.<br />
<br />
11:50 The devolution of this wiki entry into a [[velociraptors]]/no [[velociraptors]] debate signals the lack of OCD students stalking random vehicles in Galesburg or Knox Students. Have all these would-be stalkers gotten an early start on the festivities, or is there simply nothing to report? <-- nothing to report. Typically (see previous years) the best signs start around 2 AM.<br />
<br />
12:04 I just checked my e-mail after emailing JENN SMITH (On Pam's honors staff). I had asked if Pam's honors was Wednesday. She said Pam's honors was NEXT WEEK.<br />
CONFIRMATION. PAM DOES NOT HAVE HER HONORS DEFENSE TOMORROW.<br />
FLUNK DAY IT IS! <---I don't buy it. If Pam were using her honors as a decoy, why would she tell anyone other than her off-campus outside committee person?<br />
<br />
12:24 AM [[Flunk Day 2008]] was officially called at 1:46 AM. You all got 1 and 1/2 hours to figure this out, as I see it. [[User:Tfooq|Tfooq]] 00:25, 29 April 2009 (CDT)<br />
<br />
12:27 AM Guys, it's already tomorrow in Australia. Why don't we just ask THEM? Think, people, think! <--- CAUSALITY DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY!<br />
<br />
FDI approves tomorrow! Trust Them<br />
<br />
12:42 AM ... Still no safety email........and still baseball tomorrow (according to Knox and the Midwest Conference)<br />
<br />
12:44 AM Pam spotted pacing the Seymour gallery and lobby, on the phone.<br />
<br />
12:44 AM Pammy is shwasted. <---possibly false, because she was just spotted in seymour, looking quite sober, on the phone. <--- well she was just spotted in our house, where she lives, shwasted.<br />
<br />
12:54 AM SPOTTED: Pam is no longer a midget. FLUNK DAY<br />
<br />
12:58 AM ^CAN YOU CONFIRM? THIS COULD BE HUGE.<br />
<br />
1:08 AM Lights on in Union Board Office<br />
<br />
01:13 AM Paige Barnum, notoriously organized favorite of Xavier, received the following text message from Xavier, " ;) " IT HAS TO BE TODAY!<br />
<br />
1:17 AM Confirmed: Carnival rides on trailers + four large unmarked trailers at best western. looks like we beat last year's record after all. fd 2009, commence. <---Can we get some visual confirmation? <br />
<br />
1:20AM: Does Xavier really text this many students? And if he does, anyone but me find that weird? Or am I just jealous? Also, someone gimme a pic of those rides in that parking lot and i'll buy the first round <---- he actually texts students quite often. <---- But wink emoticons? I think it's too weird to make the text/wink connection between an administrator and a student. Sounds like it could be part of a muckraking TKS article. <--Xavier is a texting machine. All the abbreves u can think of & everything.<br />
<br />
1:24 AM Contact lost with Dee Goebel <---this is confirmed. i just called her and she did not pick up. <--- It is 1:30 in the morning, could she be sleeping? <--- do you KNOW dee? c'mon. it's flunk season. she doesn't sleep.<br />
<br />
1:27 AM [[Pam Schuller]] is online, commenting on Shane Donegan's status, therefore not drunk. <--- honestly, someone could be impersonating her.<br />
<br />
1:33 AM [[Paige Barnum]] confirmed that she received no such text message from Dean Romano, though her phone is unable at this moment to send text messages. Miss Barnum and her cohorts suspect that Xavier Romano himself is editing the Wikifire, however, when the IP address of the updater was traced, it returned a Knox College computer. Could Romano be on campus? <--- this was written by xavier...who else would say "miss" barnum? <--- but it wasn't. i was there.<br />
<br />
1:36 AM Contact with Dee Goebel made.<br />
<br />
1:40 AM Trailers/rides confirmed at Best Western. It's flunk day. <--- Pics or it didn't happen <--- Seriously though, can we get some damn pictures? <----Confirmed:<br />
<br />
1:42 AM [[Paige Barnum]] confirmed that she never confirmed that she received no such text message from Dean Romano. She actually did. I saw it.<br />
<br />
1:48 AM Barnum's room mate confirms that no such text message was received. She was there.<br />
<br />
1:34 Nope,Pam is drunk.<br />
<br />
1:47 AM [[Jonathan Pierce-Ruhland]] returns from recon trip to Best Western on Soangetaha (west of I-74). Lot is devoid, repeat, devoid of semis. Unless there's a different Best Western, no dice. Sorry folks. <----- [Keegan Siebken] also returns from trip to the same Best Western. Concurs that there are, in fact, no dice. <br />
<br />
1:48 AM [[Sara Belger]] received a txt from [[Paige Barnum]] confirming she never received a text from the Xav-man.<br />
<br />
1:53 AM You kids and your txts.<br />
<br />
1:57 AM [[Donald Rogers]] is having a fucking freak-out and cannot take this anymore. He is shouting out his window on the corner of Tompkins and West.<br />
<br />
2:00 AM [[Michael Leon]] heard trains heard coming into Galesburg. Clearly bringing Flunk Day supplies.<br />
<br />
2:05 AM The rats in SMC basement are acting up. The animals always know first!<br />
<br />
2:08 AM SAFETY EMAIL IS HERE!!! FLUNK DAY!!!!<br />
<br />
2:08 AM Not really, though. Go to bed. I did.<br />
<br />
2:05 AM Another return trip from Best Western and it is confirmed that there is nothing in the parking lot.<br />
<br />
2:15 AM Rafay Khan is not studying. It must be flunk day.<br />
<br />
2:16 AM J.R. SHOT IN DALLAS. MORE REPORTS FORTHCOMING.<br />
<br />
2:23 AM Felipe Borman is going to bed. It cannot be Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
2:23 AM We checked out the best western and found nothing, though the holiday inn parking lot had something that may or may not have been a carnival ride engine... very suspicious. <br />
<br />
2:31 AM My kidney stone is acting up again. FLUNK DAY MOTHER FUCKERS!<br />
<br />
2:45 AM Campus is in heat for Flunk Day<br />
<br />
2:50 AM We just drove to the Best Western to check, and to our dismay we found no such trucks or trailers holding any sort of flunk day merriment. Sincerely, the MPs. <----No! They're at the Super 8, I dunno who reported them at the Best Western. <-- There are no Super 8's in Galesburg, dumbass! Flunk is not tomorrow everyone, always study. <----I don't know why you're so against this idea; Super 8's in Galesburg: 260 W Main St, Galesburg, IL AND 37 Knox Highway 10 I-74 Exit 51 Galesburg IL, Galesburg, IL<br />
<br />
3:06 AM i can haz flunk day pleeze?<br />
<br />
3:14 AM Flunk Day was yesterday .......pumpfake?<br />
<br />
3:16 AM Not Flunk Day, but party at my house effective immediately.<br />
<br />
3:30 AM Knox students still wondering 'Who shot JR?'<-----I did! Twice!<br />
<br />
3:32 AM Remember: if you show up for class/work/life drunk tomorrow, it's Flunk Day in your heart.<br />
<br />
3:42 AM Birds could be heard twittering (not involving the website, actually making noise) outsideo f the townhouses. It is suspected they were hired in order to make us believe it is just a regular day. DO NOT TRUST THE BIRDS!!<br />
<br />
3:47 AM It's so difficult to sort out fact from fiction. What do you guys think? Is it too late for Wednesday to be Flunk Day? <--- We never got our safety email, and there is baseball, it was never going to be today.<br />
<br />
3:58 AM I think there is a slim chance, but it isn't likely. Honestly, if I didn't have a midterm due tomorrow I would be sleeping and not worried about Flunk Day in the least.<br />
<br />
4:30 AM A walk around campus revealed almost nothing. There are lights on in the mailroom. But that could be nothing. There is, however, one suspicious light on in dining services. And a coat on the chair. Hmm. But otherwise, nothing. We are discouraged. But, we have hope. We still believe. Do you?<br />
<br />
4:55 AM I suspect the trouble is not enough people believe in Flunk Day. It is going to die because not enough people believe in Flunk Day! But if you would all just clap your hands, clap your hands as hard as you're able, maybe then Flunk Day won't die.<br />
If you believe--clap your hands!<br />
<br />
5:06 AM A car was seen driving down West St. It's FLUNK DAY! Also, *clap, clap, clap*<br />
<br />
5:33 AM It is, almost definitely, not Flunk Day. FML.<------- Rotund alumni is saddened, but happy you sprats will have Flunk Day in warmer weather.<br />
<br />
5:42AM But I just saw Pam Schuller walking outside in a green shirt. Surely she wouldn't be a part of a scare this early on the day of her defense if it wasn't actually FLUNK DAY!?!?!??!<br />
<br />
5:50AM It should be noted that the Hotline says today is not Flunk Day. <------ so does Campus Safety<br />
<br />
5:52AM Flunk Day????????????<br />
<br />
5:54 AM Not flunk day according to campus safety, my email, facebook, common sense.<br />
<br />
5:57 AM Flunk Day more or less ruled out for today. Which raises the question: when?! Tomorrow, Thursday, is unlikely and Friday is a virtual impossibility. So we have to replay this elaborate process of speculation, expectation, recapitulations next week? What did Mister Romano's suggestion that Flunk Day was coming sooner than we expected mean? It was a lie. A gosh darn lie.<br />
<br />
6:02 AM Fuck whoever was in that scare, going back to bed. <---- it was mainly residents of p-house wearing last year's friar shirts. it was targeted towards the first-years (aka quads area)<br />
<br />
6:14 AM Flunk Day, much like the cake, is a lie.<br />
<br />
6:20 AM Well, that was a boring scare.<br />
<br />
6:55 I have Flunk Day blue balls.<br />
<br />
7:25 AM Flunk Day officially does not exist.<br />
<br />
9:55 AM Super IMPORTANT AND TRUE --> Viki is typing "THE FLUNK DAY RULES" email! it should be in your inbox soon!!!!<br />
<br />
^Can we get confirmation? This could be huge.<br />
<br />
11:58 Your mom is huge. But no flunk day rules email yet. Inclined towards skepticism given the credibility of most information on wikifire.<br />
<br />
2:11 PM Rules email has arrived. <-----we got confirmation. it is huge.<br />
<br />
2:27PM (author of 9:55AM) --> There was a reason I used the word TRUE ;)....<br />
<br />
====Some fun statistics====<br />
On an average Tuesday, the Wiki Fire receives 6,000 or so "requests" (any command to the server) and 3,500 page requests. On Tuesday, April 28, there were 142,903 (see the attached graph) and 43,744 page requests.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Requests.png]]<br />
<br />
If you crunch that, it's an average of over 105 Wiki Fire server requests per Knox student, or over 32 pages viewed per student.<br />
The "Flunk Day 2009" page has been viewed nearly 16,000 times just on its own.<br />
In the history of the site, "Flunk Day 2009" has been viewed three times as many times as the entry "Knox College".<br />
<br />
I suppose if I were doing an independent study on "viral" media in a small community, this would be the case study of a lifetime.<br />
<br />
Someone should find out if the number of incomplete assignments went up Wednesday... [[User:Tfooq|Tfooq]] 21:09, 29 April 2009 (CDT)<br />
<br />
===Thursday, April 30===<br />
<br />
So its Thursday. What does that mean for those members of the Knox community who can't wait to get piss drunk, baked, and then laid all within the first 23 minutes of their day? It probably won't happen today. Don't be completely crushed, 'tis possible, but [[Flunk Day 2008]] was on a Thursday which doesn't boast well for those predicting April 30th. Moreover, the trick of sending the rules e-mail out the day before was tried for [[Flunk Day 2006]], and it proved unpopular with many (although that year there were no major scares, whereas there have been several this year). NOTE: 2 of the past 3 years the rules email was sent out the day before; will this year make it 3 of 4? The golf team will be away at a conference, and the baseball team has two away games...which, frankly, doesn't mean shit. But, if you've been paying attention to the action on campus, you know that its probably not today. The baseball games against Beloit tomorrow are not on the midwest conference website (http://www.midwestconference.org/baseball/schedule.asp), although they are on Beloit's (http://www.beloit.edu/bucs/news.php?category=baseball). One must remember that Dean Breiteborde used to work at Beloit, though. The golf conference is on the midwest conference site (http://www.midwestconference.org/mgolf/schedule.asp), but it doesn't list who's going to be there.<br />
<br />
Umm...the baseball game is on the midwest conference schedule (look under non-conference schedule) and Knox will be at the golf conference (http://www.midwestconference.org/mgolf/2009/MWC_MG_CP_09.pdf). Doesn't prove anything but just to get some facts straight.<br />
I dont want flunk day anymore. So annoying.!...I was hoping it'd be today........when the hell is flunk day?<br />
<br />
Do you know what jobless means? <br />

Raptor sighting!! http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QC0xe56GvUo/R-xzbyGKnqI/AAAAAAAAA74/-uB2sKtAcSw/s400/raptor+korea+bond+dromeosaurus+dromeosaur+dinosaur+peter.jpg<br />
<br />
Wed, 7:56 PM: Has Xavier scared you away from the Wiki Fire? The safety e-mail is out, people! Get on the case! IS Pam really gone to New York City? Where is Jenny Davis? Where are the potential Friars? What's going on around town? The mailroom? Union Board office? Events Calendar speculation?<br />
<br />
Get to work! And if you can't report, then start digging the mud pit.<br />
<br />
We the Raptors support Rome. <br />
Raptors support Egypt! -- http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51HQDCPDT4L._SL500_AA240_.jpg (beat that Rome)<-- now thats what you call archeological evidence. Raptors are here to support Egypt during Flunk Day (or any other day)<br />
<br />
Stop talking about the raptors. I am not a first year and I have a sense of humor, but this joke is so dead a raptor could have eaten it <-- raptor attempting to hide behind a recursive call to non-raptorness.<br />
<br />
Dean Romano might be a Raptor...or maybe not. :S<br />
<br />
10:07 PM Flunk day is not tomorrow. go to bed. <---can we get confirmation? this could be huge <--Know who's huge? Sam Martone. You know what I'm talking about.<br />
<br />
10:14 PM: Two students in quads just told by Pam that tomorrow is Flunk Day.<---Flunk day is always tomorrow<br />
<br />
11:18 PM: Rabid possum spotted outside of Post obviously a harbinger of Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
11:22 PM: No one thinks that Flunk day is tomorrow. Obviously Flunk day is tomorrow. <----- You are so right.<br />
<br />
Sam Martone has returned to making his status updates consist of obscure song lyrics, instead of fake flunk day announcements. This must mean flunk day is tomorrow. This could be huge.<br />
<br />
12:03 AM- Drunk Randy Geary tried to call Ashleigh Honaker '06 to tell her it is Flunk Day. He really called Ashley Witzke.<br />
<br />
12:14 AM: 80% chance of thunderstorms tomorrow (today). Flunk Day ain't happenin'.<br />
<br />
12:44 AM: People keep telling me that Flunk day is for real going to be tomorrow. Can anyone confirm anything? <--- if they can, it could be huge.<br />
<br />
1:09 AM: It's not Flunk Day. Go to bed.---Can you confirm? THIS could be huge. ---That's what your mom said last night... <- nice dude, nice. ۞<br />
<br />
1:12 AM: Entertainment company truck ("Human Foosball ... Mechanical Bulls") spotted in Knoxville parking lot! Huge! <-- CONFIRMED: cellphone video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu_moia-oVI <------------- Saw that coming twelve miles away. Seriously though, people, this is the internet; pics or it didn't happen. <-- do people even like that video? it's awful. ۞<br />
<br />
1:47 AM: It's raining, flunk day, this could be huge, etc.<br />
<br />
2:07 AM: It's gonna rain today and tomorrow, no flunk day for you guys this week. Maybe Tuesday? o.o<br />
Furthermore, this shit is hilarious: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQm7YpxgOnA <br />
۞<br />
4:16 AM: Xavier Romano seen evaporating back into his magic lamp after granting three wishes. None of the wishes involved invoking flunk day. The three wishes centered around drugs, munchies, and dissapearing security guards. <--- I can haz confirmation?. This could be huge. <--- Like your erection. I get it. <--- No, like epic. You stole my epic.<br />
<br />
9:57 AM I'm getting really apathetic toward classes because Flunk Day could always be tomorrow and I desperately need a day off. I hope it happens soon or my grades will start suffering.<br />
<br />
===Friday, May 1===<br />
<br />
12:56 AM: Cuz you noobs don't know how to make a new header. Also, today is Flunk day. ۞ Can we have confirmation? This could be huge<br />
<br />
1:10 AM: No signs of Flunk Day. No speculations. Clearly it's today.<br />
<br />
1:16 AM: Kids (cute Bob and friend) digging up mud pits outside quads.<br />
<br />
1:53 AM: I'll save us some time: xavier, 4 ft. bong, velociraptors, pam is drunk, pics or it didn't happen, this could be huge. okay, go to bed.<br />
<br />
== Week of May 3rd ==<br />

Further indication that, statistically, Flunk Day will fall within this week.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Sunday, May 3===<br />
In a smoke-filled haze of poor judgment, Xavier txted a velociraptor to explain that the administration had decided that, since Flunk Day is so disruptive to scheduled activities, classes, assignments and exams, it would make the most sense of all to hold Flunk Day over a weekend when no one would have to miss anything important. The veliciraptor promptly ate the phone to destroy all evidence. Friars already getting schwasted in preparation. <br />
<br />
===Monday, May 4===<br />
<br />
The annual Safety Email was strangely defensive about activities that may go on concerning Mondays. Given that May 4 is, at the time of this writing, the next successive Monday, one might be suspicious. Key evidence:<br />
<br />
# Fact: There are food service deliveries on Sunday evenings during Spring Term.<br />
# Myth: Flunk Day can never take place on a Monday or Friday...or can it?<br />
<br />
Discuss?<br />
<br />
Not evidence at all; both of those statements appeared in last year's email, and probably appear every year. <-- Fair enough. But it's worth keeping in mind. It is also worth noting that Flunk Day HAS occurred on a Monday in the past.<br />
<br />
There are two away baseball games set for Monday, appearing on both team schedules. Baseball has been screwed over in the past, but it is doubtful they will miss out on another Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
The housing lottery for large apartments is scheduled for 7pm on this day. We all know how happy Craig Southern would be about having to reschedule the lottery due to Flunk Day. <----- If there's one thing we all should have learned this term, it's don't mess with housing.<br />
<br />
However Craig Southern loves flunk day. <----- Kelly Hogan was not mentioning Craig Southern when she commented on Lindsey Snyder's status. She was referring to Craig Choma (another theatre professor) who is a Knox alum.<br />
<br />
IMPORTANT: Flunk Day has been renamed Flernk Day in honor of people with seasonal allergies (weaklings) who cannot properly pronounce it. Carry on.<br />
<br />
I was working in the caf the other day and heard the kitchen staff talking about how much they'd get paid if they worked on Flunk Day. I didn't hear everything/could've misheard, but they did say something about Monday... idk, worth mentioning I suppose.<br />
<br />
Greg W., janitor of the upperclassmen side of Post, heard it will be this Monday.<br />
<br />
Last week, Professor Matsuda informed the students of his Japanese 210 class that "the last translation work is due Monday, May 4, 2009, ''whether or not it is Flunk Day''."<br />
<br />
Time to start looking for clues!<br />
<br />
Sunday, May 3rd, 7:32pm. Pam, Ginny Graves, and Jenn Snider seen walking towards Tompkins (apartments) together - presumably going to the residence of Snider, who lives in Tompkins. Graves carrying books, and all 3 carrying bags/purses and complaining of being stalked. People don't carry their purses around unless they're doing something important or they're pretentious. Pam is not pretentious. Flunk Day is tomorrow.]<br />
<br />
Worked in the Caf today, kitchen staff are convinced that Flunk Day isn't tomorrow. Especially since the food for Flunk Day hasn't been delivered... but remember that Xavier said they get deliveries on sunday night...<br />
<br />
10:00pm Pam overheard speaking of above 7:32 incident. also, Pam loves to be rick rolled.<br />
<br />
10:12 pm Randy Geary seen ordering a #2 meal in the Gizmo, as opposed to his regular Firestarter. Clearly this is a sign that Flunk Day is in fact (not) tomorrow. Don't ask why.<br />
<br />
Also, the Political Science Department is bringing in a job candidate today. 99% sure no one in their right mind would let a prospective professor wander through campus on Flunk Day. <--- not so. english department did it about 6 years ago.<br />
<br />
10:11 pm: Tomorrow is not Flunk Day. Do your homework, go to bed, and stop stalking Pam. <--- Killjoy. (not about the Pam stalking)<br />
<br />
12:40 AM: Pam is laughing at and taunting the mud-pit laborers. Has she no decency?<---Have you no decency, sir? At long last? Have you no sense of decency?<br />
<br />
1:20 AM [[Jill Bergantz]] talked to [[Donald Rogers]], who talked to [[Pam Schuller]] and heard she was going to bed. Donald told Jill he believes Pam, and Jill told me she believes Donald. Can this telephone game between seniors prove true?<br />
<br />
1:44 AM Pam is having flunk day in her room right now. I can hear it. Jealous.<br />
<br />
2:15 AM Lavinia Karl and Elisa Hilderbrand are seen leaving SMC. Lavinia is staggering and appears to be intoxicated. What momentous occasion could warrant this unprecedented event? Clearly, today is Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
2.28 AM Just saw a pack of midgets walking through campus dressed as pirates. it has to be flunk day<br />
<br />
2:33 AM just had sex dream with a pack of midgets and Xavier dressed as elmo. <--Were Xavier and the midgets partaking of the sex, or are these unrelated details?<br />
<br />
2:50 AM Xavier Romano is a furry? This could explain everything. Or nothing. <br />
<br />
2:52 AM I love how no one is even bothering to speculate that its flunk day tomorrow. You're right in not doing so, of course.<br />
<br />
4:59 AM Birds are singing, and I am still doing homework. Flunk Day would be a welcome surprise. The anticipated Flunk Day scare will not.<br />
<br />
5:13 AM A request: Could the Flunk Day scare make its way all the way over to Exec? I could use a reason to be distracted. (Or could Flunk Day make its way all the way over to Exec? Because that'd be sweeeeet.)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
===Tuesday, May 5===<br />
Tuesday, May 5<br />
<br />
"El Dia de Flunk" is for sure a convincing sign that Flunk Day could happen on this day, but Xavier is not the man to drop hints. Clear schedule yes, but perhaps we are being short sighted. We can be sure that Flunk day will not happen on a Thursday (as the day of happening tends to vary from year to year) so the prospect of Tuesday cannot be denied. However the likeliness is lessened because of the Karen Hawkinson is running an event. Don't cross Karen Hawkinson.<br />
<br />
It is nearly certain that an apprehension of Pam, wherein she becomes inebriated and is subject to a fair amount of nitrous oxide, will reveal if May 5th is the day.<br />
<br />
Jon Wagner mysteriously changed his ANSO 231 field trip to Cahokia from this day to the following tuesday due to an unexplained conflict..<--This is not true. The trip was always scheduled for the following Tuesday. Also, they are going to Dickson Mounds, not Cahokia.<br />
<br />
Let's keep in mind that there is an art department field trip to Chicago on this day, and that this trip is planned in accordance with flunk day (at least, that's what has been the case every year before this one). Mark Holmes also told his Art 351 class that the Art Dept. made sure that Flunk Day was not on this day, as it would cost the Dept. thousands of dollars if students did not go on the trip (as buses are rented for the trip.)<br />
<br />
<br />
Also, Tri Delta has the Oak Room reserved for their Pansy Dinner in which many alums are coming in. Honestly, this is a serious event and why would Dining Services book this day if it was Flunk Day? The dinner was scheduled after Flunk Day was planned, meaning Dining Services would have known they would not be available to cater the dinner because they would be busy with the all-campus picnic meals. Tri Delta requested this week for the dinner, and Dining Services finalized the day. Clearly they would not have chosen Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
4/29, 2:54 PM: It may be a fluke, but there was a DOUBLE NEGATIVE in the Safety Email this year... I quote.<br />
<br />
Myth: Flunk Day and Cinco de Mayo are not one in (sic) the same...get a clue! <br />
<br />
Which translates to:<br />
<br />
Fact: Flunk day and Cinco de Mayo are one and the same...get a clue! <br />
<br />
Whoa. Confirmation? Check your email, Knoxians. This could be huge.<br />
<br />
How is that a double negative? <-- "Myth .... not" is logically similar to "Fact .... is".<br />
<br />
I spotted this, too, and emailed Xavier. Here is his response.<br />
<br />
"Hmmm...excellent point. I have to reflect on that.<br />
Best and thank you!<br><br />

Hello,<br><br />
While I am excited to see the Myths/Facts/Rules email go out, I have one concern:<br><br />
"_Myth_: Flunk Day and Cinco de Mayo are not one in the same...get a clue!"<br />
The way this statement is constructed suggests that it IS a myth that FD and CdM are <br />
NOT one and the same, thus insinuating that Flunk Day is in fact on Cinco de Mayo this <br />
year. As one of the many who believe Cinco de Mayo is not Flunk Day, can we get some <br />
clarification of this myth (or is it supposed to be a fact)?<br><br />
Sincerely,<br />
Sam Martone, '11"<br />
<br />
Take from it what you will.<br />
<br />
12:46 100% confirmation from Professor Gilbert that Flunk Day will absolutely NOT be tomorrow owing to the very real Art Department field trip to Chicago. That is all.<br />
<br />
<br />
8:30pm Are we really assuming that one field trip will stop all of Flunk Day? The field trip could still go on with Flunk Day - we just don't know if anyone will still want to go. Sports games have gone on - surely field trips to Chicago will too. Greg Gilbert does not speak for all of us!<---Anyone who would not allow Greg Gilbert to speak for them on any and every subject is a veritable Fool.<br />
<br />
Come on people! Where's your faith?! Hasn't anyone been stalking Xavier today? Have we any plans to drive around at 2 am looking for mysterious trucks parked at the Vista motel? I demand that we stay up all night speculating and not doing our homework! Where are all the first years insisting Xavier's messages of "El Dia de Flunk" meant something!?!?! Why aren't they all drinking at this very moment? We want Flunk day! Go out (or keep updating here) and show that you want it! <--------- The point is that the field trip was scheduled around Flunk day. It's not that Flunk can't be Tuesday because of the field trip, it's that the field trip is Tuesday because it is not Flunk day.<br />
<br />
<br />
9:46 pm. The Environmental Racism field trip was scheduled way in advance in 2007, yet Flunk Day fell on that day. The Art Department Field Trip was scheduled like two weeks ago. Either way, I'm totally down for it being tomorrow.<br />
<br />
9:55- Santa is real. Flunk day is tomorrow.<br />
<br />
10:30 pm - a lot of people have been saying that Pam is drunk.. a lot. Could it be that Pam carries around a flask at all time snickering to herself about how many people she is throwing off the flunk day trail. Also, if there still is said field trip, I have been told a lot that you don't fuck with the art department.. you just don't *shivers*<br />
<br />
10 37 : Confirmed motherfuckers..THE ART FIELD TRIP IS STILL ON.. flunk day is not tomorrow<br />
<br />
10:34 pm- G Gilbert JUST emailed me about class stuff, and if the art field trip was canceled he would have mentioned it. <--- if they announce tonight that the trip's canceled, its practically a give-away that tmr is flunk day...too easy<br />
<br />
10:50 PM I have received a message from God (http://www.titane.ca/igod/): "All signs point to Yes." Tomorrow is Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
10:55 p.m. - Sam Jarvis is an asshole. He texted a bunch of people "hasta manana" to lead people to believe that tomorrow is flunk day/cinco de mayo style.<br />
<br />
11:12 p.m. - Bored from lack of velociraptors. Flunk Day must be tomorrow or death from boredom will ensue...<br />
<br />
11:23 p.m. - Emus have gained the ability to fly. <---This could be huge! <---Get the snipers into position, they are taking over.<br />
<br />
11:48 p.m. - Emus have kidnapped the president's daughter.<br />
<br />
11:57 p.m. Velociraptors spotted sporting sombreros on Cherry Street. One was mustachioed and in a poncho. Indication of Flunk Day tomorrow? or just some velociraptors getting a head start on their Cinco de Mayo celebration?<br />
<br />
12:09 p.m. Nick Paul Craig says its Flunk day tomorrow. Woohoo <-- It's AM not PM. fool.<br />
<br />
12:11 a.m - John Schlaf sends out e-mail alerting the campus to reports of a malicious collaboration between emus and velociraptors. Flunk Day cannot be held until the situation is under control.<br />
<br />
12:13 a.m. - Lights are off in mail room, to early possibly, boy and girl hooking up outside of mail room, clearly a sign of Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
12:17 a.m. - God Damn those two have been at it for two hours. Get a room. <-- it appears to be Sam Jarvis and Pam. This has been confirmed.<br />
<br />
12:32 a.m. - REPORT FROM GROUND ZERO - THE PAM SCHULLER SURVEILANCE TEAM ALPHA: Pam is sitting on her couch next to a ginger, watching the Daily Show and eating mac 'n cheese. This has been thoroughly confirmed three times.<br />
<br />
12:36 AM - A new addition to the DSM: Flunk Day Blues, a specified form of Depression. Characterized by crabbiness, loss of motivation, exhaustion, an a tendency toward self-medication with drugs and/or alcohol. Has been observed to worsen when under the following conditions: Nice weather, an increased number of incidents of provocation of symptoms, or living with the flunk day planner (esp. when said planner is a midget).<br />
<br />
12:38 a.m. - Good work Alpha Team! Your losses were not in vain. Beta Team, what is your status?<br />
<br />
12:41 a.m. - Kelby Okada seen through apartment window looking at porn with Derek Hayes. It is flunk day<br />
<br />
12:48 AM - ALPHA TEAM UPDATE: Minutes ago Pam announced her intent to retire for the evening and get some much needed shuteye. She then entered her bedroom. She has not emerged since.<br />
<br />
12:52 a.m. - I am convinced that this site will not predict Flunk Day. Since the entire administration knows about the site, they know what we're planning, and if the past is any indication, they'll go to any lengths to make Flunk Day a surprise. For example, they now know that we check parking lots in Galesburg -- I'll bet they have the trucks stop in Monmouth or Kewanee or Peoria. Long story short, you never know when Flunk Day is going to happen -- give up. Also, Flunk Day is tomorrow.<br />
<br />
1:00 am - Chris 'Mittens' Johnson, 'Big Baby' Ben Bowers, Muneer 'Moony Blues' Rizvydeen, Jonjon 'Jipper' P-R, Cassie Jordan, Cassie 'Socks' Versaggi, Kelly 'Romantic Linguist' Kriegshauser and Jack 'Raptor' Moore are seen grilling in the courtyards of the Quads. It's Flunk day.<br />
<br />
1:01 am - On a pop tart run to the quickie many many bottles of booze filled the shelves. Many empty boxes littered the ground behind the counter. Upon questioning the clerk became very shifty and nervous. She spouted off a story about how many believe that the day is today but that there is an art field trip and the art department would be mad. Do people really talk that much with hte clerks or has the flunk day staff gotten to them?<br />
<br />
1:52 am-- Duffy's bartender said that it was definitely Flunk Day today because there were Knox students in earlier in the night who commented on coming in at 7 am when they open. <------------ totally flunk day!!!!! <----this is the 9th annual chicago art field trip pre-game. Also, Steve works on Mondays and he's too tanked to remember details like this anyway.<br />
<br />
2:50 am - Someone keeps deleting this page. Possibly a cover up (or Flunk Day has been abducted by aliens). <--THIS COULD BE HUGE.<br />
<br />
<br />
2:58 am- Someone has been deleting this page. I came on half an hour ago and there was nothing under tuesdays date. Very suspicious. Left seymour at 2:09 am and saw three cafe ladies leaving the cafe through the rear exit. There is activity in the cafe and there is definitely cooking going on inside...you can smell it outside. Flunk Day?<br />
<br />
3:15 am - due to projected thunderstorms wed and thurs, if flunk day is this week it is most likely today.<br />
<br />
3:51 am- just drove down henderson street and their are 3 semi trucks hiding behind a gas station...two located in the sirloin stockade parking lot...3 in the hy-vee parking lot...one behind the YMCA....didn't look anywhere else....are they here for FD 2009?? I think so! :) <--- Pics to confirm?<br />
<br />
4:12am - wao... really? I think it would be really mean to the art field trip if it's today. ... ( even though I do wish it is today)<br />
<br />
4:54 am - um.. I wanna know more Flunk day news. Anyone has any?<br />
<br />
5:10 am - employees and a few weird girls in capes scuffling about. OM dark. Dark as it gets. Also locked. Campus empty, no trucks, no sounds. And the final nail falls into the Tuesday coffin.<br />
<br />
5:19 am - the train is mocking us. Oh well. At least some of us get to sleep in. :)<br />
<br />
5:31 am- the email would be drifting softly into our inboxes soon...in the alternate universe where today was Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
===Wednesday, May 6===<br />
I've found the old page in the history:<br />
<br />
THUNDERSTORMS PROJECTED. look here for wednesday's forcast: http://www.weather.com/weather/wxdetail/USIL0439?dayNum=1&from=36hr_topnav_undeclared <br />
<br />
8:19 AM Okay seriously, lets get this straight. THE WEATHER PLAYS NO PART IN DETERMINING THE DATE OF FLUNK DAY. Again, THE WEATHER DOES NOT MATTER. They pick the date way back in like february. So thunderstorms don't mean shit<-------This is false, Weather does play a part. True, many days are chosen early in the year, however, two days before a chosen date the weather is checked...if there is projected awful weather, then that day is cancelled. Two days before Wednesday, (Monday), the weather was projected as Thunderstorms on Wednesday and Thursday. <br />
<br />
-- Whoever wrote this is a dumb ass. Only one day is picked. It's not Wednesday, but that is NOT because of weather.<---Oh, snap! + '''11:25 P.M. (Tuesday) I have recieved a phone call that tells me with 95% certainty that today will be the day of flunk. Get ready! GO! GO! GO!!!!!!!!''' -XZ<br />
<br />
-- I think it's a generally accepted mater of lore that more than one potential date is selected each year due to the unpredictability of future events. While this is sensible, childishly calling someone a dumb ass without presenting logical and reasonable proof is simply immature. If you believe only one day is picked against the greater logic of the lore, state your evidence in such a way that it can be confirmed or denied. Otherwise, save name calling for the sandbox.<---Double snap! <br />
<br />
-- On the issue of weather and Flunk Day, and this is from the mouth of Ginny Graves. They have a tentative date in February and by March they have confirmed the date. That is to say, the date is set in March. They don't do thirty day weather predictions, weather isn't part of the planning.<---If this is true, that kind of sucks. We've got showers and t-storms in our predictions until next Wednesday, less the weekend. <br />
<br />
-- Tuesday, 2:22pm: Received the following text from a friend: "I just heard a caf worker in the loading dock say, 'tomorrow is the day....'" Concern: caf workers aren't supposed to know until the morning of. Could just be more speculation. Or not about Flunk Day. WE SHALL SEE. Caf workers have said that they know the day before or the morning of.<br />
<br />
Anyone notice that an email was sent out to seniors asking for applications for friars? Obviously if they're just now considering who to be friars, it's not until next week.<br />
<br />
Email sent out to the senior dist list:<br />
<br />
From Jenn Snider: <br />
<br />
Attention Seniors: <br />
Think you should be a Flunk Day Friar? In order to make the selection as fair as possible, we want you to tell us why you deserve to be a Friar! Let us know how you're involved on campus, what you'd bring to being a Friar, and anything else you think we should know! Creativity is encouraged! Submissions should be no longer than one paragraph and must be received by Friday, May 8 at noon. To apply, DO NOT HIT REPLY! All submissions MUST be sent to jsnider@knox.edu to be considered.<br />
<br />
It seems very suspicious. <br />
<br />
Alternative theory: the email is an obvious (and somewhat heavy handed) red herring. Perhaps, another trick to make people think its not this week! This theory would suggest taking applications for friars (a position for which seniors are normally chosen) is similar to the Leadership Retreat held last year. <---- I bet they already know who the friars are, but its just to pretend they are trying to make it fair so people don't bitch when they aren't a friar.<br />
<br />
Blood Drive doesn't matter. They've scheduled Flunk Day the same day as a blood drive before. <----- this blood drive was planned months in advance, way before they picked the day for Flunk Day---the blood drive does not show up when searched for:https://www.givelife.org/index.cfm?group=home&advsearch=1<----- Checked, doesn't appear!... Smells a little flunky! <--- False, you should all look more closely. It's online right here: https://www.membersforlife.org/midamerica/mobilesch/bdc_zip.php <--- In addition, the rooms were booked in NOVEMBER, before Flunk Day was probably scheduled. Not saying they wouldn't screw over the Blood Drive, just saying APO had the day first. <br />
<br />
Executive Apartments: Loud music and 40 oz. drinking going on! They know.. Flunk Day is tomorrow! They also know... it's Cinco de Mayo today!<---- None of the party goers or debaucherists were from Mexico... get a clue! <----- they were drinking because its the first day with out baseball!<br />
<br />
Last year, the art department kids knew the Flunk was coming. It was a perfect storm: pooled resources, enormous social circle, two buses full of people with nothing else to do but sleuth for three and a half hours. At 7 PM, the art kids will once again board the buses. I say we put them to work. <br />
<br />
Dean Bailey's official prediction: WEDNESDAY, MAY 6. <br />
<br />
<br />
7:49 p.m.: Caf. workers confirm that food shipment has come in and Flunk Day is tomorrow. Can you confirm? This could be huge <br />
<br />
<br />
8.17PM : The African American worker at the cafe was smoking a cigarette. I asked for one, since i was jonesing and was a bit intoxicated. he smiled at me after giving me the cigarette and said "Hope you ready for tomorrow fool". it has to be Flunk day!<----Do you mean Keith? Or did you just want to clarify that none of the white women workers would say "fool"? <br />
<br />
The Knox-Sandburg Community Concert Band's Spring Concert is schedule for Wednesday according to Knox's website, but it's scheduled for Thursday according to the Register-Mail (http://www.register-mail.com/stories/022609/CAL_BJ9OQK50.GID.shtml) ...but it also has the dance show scheduled for Wendesday and Thursday.<--Um, that link takes you to the march calender. try this one: http://www.register-mail.com/stories/042309/CAL_BJQOH2UG.GID.shtml where the schedule STILL doesn't show the concert! Also, no one care about missing one dance show when there are multiples. <--- tomorrow night is the final dress rehearsal for the dance show. everyone involved still has to go to the rehearsal, even if it's flunk day, they just won't have an audience. so this doesn't matter. flunk day is tomorrow. <br />
<br />
<br />
8:53 pm - Friar application e-mail came to seniors today. Applications for Friar status are due Friday. More simply, Flunk Day cannot happen this week. Thank you and good night. <--- I'm willing to bet my left testicle to say that this was written by Jenn, Xavier, Pam, Ginny, or some other Flunk Day Planner. <-- These applications are very new, by which I mean there has been no such thing until this year. It does make the process seem pretty suspect...<--- Friar applications are clearly an attempt to throw us off. A pretty bad attempt, I might add. Did they really think this would fool us? <br />
<br />
Just an update: Ginny has said several times that people who go out looking for "suspicious" things in Galesburg (i.e. trailers, amusmant rides, etc.) are wasting their time. They are not keeping anything in Galesburg. We can look at this two ways: 1) If you go for a 2am reconaissance run and don't see anything, it could still be flunk day, or 2) she is just trying to keep people from going on 2am reconaissance runs, and there very well may be some suspcious additions to the grand city of galesburg.<br />
<br />
<br />
9:03 pm A friend who works in the C-Store just heard from a customer that the caf just got a HUGE SHIPMENT!!!!!!! <br />
<br />
<br />
9:06 pm - There is some sort of meeting going on in the Centel Lab in GDH right now. They appeared very suspicious and stopped talking when I walked by.<-----CAN WE GET CONFIRMATION, THIS COULD BE HUGE!!!!! <--- No one with a functioning neuron would plan a "super-secret meeting" in a wide-open building during hours of moderate traffic. <-- It is true in fact, as the door is closed and there were only 10 people in the room + 1 member of the Knox faculty. <br />
<br />
<br />
9:06 pm- Interesting you should say you talked to an "African American worker" outside the cafe today.... cuz i did too! and sure enough i was a little loopy myself. Besides that common factor, we also share the fact that he told us BOTH that tomorrow was the real day of flunk, and to get my shit done, cuz it's about to get KRAZY <br />
<br />
<br />
9:11 pm- Mary Todd just sent me a picture text holding up six fingers, so, I can only assume that those fingers refer to the 6th of may, flunk day. <--- Or June 6, just to throw everyone off. Or she's looking for the six-fingered man that killed her father 20 years ago. <br />
<br />
<br />
9:24 PM: Sam Jarvis walked by me in the library. Flunk Day is tomorrow. <br />
<br />
<br />
9:35 PM: I jizzed in my pants. Flunk Day is tomorrow. <br />
<br />
<br />
9:43 PM: Cafe workers spotted in the cafe in normal clothes working around 9pm. very suspicious. also, quit posting lame ass flunk shit so we all know if this is real. no one cares whose in the library or been eaten by raptors. <br />
<br />
<br />
9:45 PM: Pam let me know that she just shaved her legs. Flunk day. And if its not I am going to start blowing things up. <br />
<br />
<br />
9:46 PM: Jenn Snider is in the gizmo buying a snack, looks like she is working another late night in the Campus Life Office. <br />
<br />
<br />
9:48 PM: Xavier sent the following: <br />
<br />
The rumor mill is alive and well surrounding Flunk Day and this will only add fuel to the fire... <br />
<br />
Velociraptors have been spotted hanging with of all people Roger Taylor. I know that it is much to comprehend and that many of our impressions of "The Rog" are totally thrashed. Evidently, a 'Raptor was seen walking the first floor of Old Main looking for the Dean of Flunk. All of a sudden President Taylor accosted the said 'Raptor thinking it was a prospie. President Roger then attempted to recruit same 'Raptor - now Prospie - for the entering class. Imagine an offensive line of 'Raptors for the Prairie Fire football team. Yeah...cool! <br />
<br />
But what does this have to do with El Dia de Flunk which was clearly NOT Cinco de Mayo (not a real holiday in Mexico anyway...remember that. Just a the minor battle of Puebla!)? Everything...and nothing. Nothing and something. The impo ssible and the improbable. I had far too much caffeine today, sorry. In the land of the Flunk one does what one can, yes? <br />
<br />
So...did I mention H1N1? Remember to wash your hands...no bodily contact is probably the best idea don't you think? And contrary to rumors there is absolutely NO case of this nasty flu on the Knox campus...none...nada...zip...zero. Consider this your public service announcement and remember to wash all appendiges (in case of 'Raptors) on El Dia de Flunk. <br />
<br />
Be afraid Knox students...be very afraid as the day of Flunk comes to us all sometime this May. There...now you have a hint!LOL <br />
<br />
10:07 PM: Except! This email is totally fake! Look at the font! This does not scream Dean Del Flunk! And why was it not sent through Vicki's email? (<--- because emailing duties aren't required of her at 10pm on a Tuesday night?) Do we really think our beloved Xavier would misspell "appendages"? I call shenanigans! THAT E-MAIL IS TRUE, YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVEN'T CHECKED YOUR E-MAIL RECENTLY Or, some of us are just quite gullible. And I thought Knox taught us to think critically. <br />
<br />
im a friar on my iphone. we have been taken, its tomorrow. no joke. <---BS. Pics, &c. <---Friars are traditionally collected at midnight on the Eve of Flunk, at which time their phones are taken from them and turned off so that they cannot send messages such as these. This is why, if you call them after midnight on Flunk Day, it will go straight to voice mail. Just FYI. <br />
<br />
10:30 p.m. I heard from Kate McManus that the girl she tutors from Silas Willard called and told her that they will not be meeting tomorrow (Wednesday) because it is flunk day. Kate responded by telling her, that they still may be able to meet because as students, we don't know when Flunk Day is. However the girl was told by her teacher at Silas Willard that the volunteers won't be coming becuase of Flunk day. The blood drive is canceled. I know all this because I'm Kate's roommate. Flunk Day is DEFINITELY tomorrow! Text Kate if you don't believe me. <br />
<br />
10:40 p.m. Is not flunk day. But come join me and let's get stoned. thank you. <---Your treat? Where should we meet? Maybe Xavier will read this and bring his 4-foot bong. <br />
<br />
10:50 Kate and Arianna went to get juice as mixers at the C-store for tomorrow. Flunk Day is DEFINITELY tomorrow! Text Kate, she's actually getting pumped. <br />
<br />
10:54 PM: Large shipment of food being unloaded at the loading dock. <--- Pics or GTFO <br />
<br />
10:55 PM: Pic taken (uploaded 11:10PM) Grease truck <br />
<br />
10:57 PM: Call every Senior you know. If you cannot get in contact with someone, you can only assume they have been taken, and begin getting plastered. <br />
<br />
11:00pm TKS photographer set to take blood drive photos has been emailed that the Blood Drive is cancelled. IT WAS THE ONLY THING STANDING IN THE WAY OF THE FLUNK <- This affirmed from the photographer herself. BEGIN FLUNKING. <br />
<br />
11:04 According to campus safety the truck is to take away grease from the kitchen to be recycled. It didn't look like a food truck. <br />
<br />
11:07 Tomorrow will not be Flunk Day. It's Senior meeting at Big John's. <--Who the hell cares?<---Senior Meeting e-mails almost always go out the morning of. Perhaps the early notice is in some way tied to the incontrovertible fact that tomorrow is Flunk Day. <br />
<br />
11:10 Senior Meeting at Big John's? All the more reason: it's not only Flunk Day, but weekly senior Flunk Night! <br />
<br />
11:13 PM: According to people in post, Paige Barnum just received a text message from Xavier saying, "What rhymes with Skunk?" TOMORROW IS FLUNK DAY! <br />
Douche. <--agreed. <--- Thirded Douche. <--agreed. <--- Thirded<br />
<br />
WHERE DID ALL THE INFORMATION GO?!?! <---Some idiot decided to spam the page. <br />
<br />
11:15 PM: stop texting kate. just facebook stalk her and you will know what she knows. also, maybe i just really like juice.<br />
<br />
11:18 PM: That sure worked out for everyone. If there isn't anyone M.I.A soon, it's more likely that they will actually be "taken" tomorrow at the Senior meeting, making Thursday Flunk Day 2009. <--- Can't be Thursday. Dance Concert Performance. Flunk Day has fallen on Dress Rehearsals for Mainstage shows before, but never on performances.<br />
<br />
11:40 PM: Ugh! Stop being douchey and deleting everything. You're ruining the fun of this page!<br />
<br />
EMBATTLED STUDENT SENATE PRESIDENT BELIEVES FLUNK DAY IS ALMOST UNCERTAINLY PERHAPS NOT INDEED TOMORROW.<br />
<br />
11:57 pm - Wait, wait, it's not tomorrow! I've recently been in contact with a number of agents on /b/ and they've informed me that a senior Knox student payed 4chan to scam the Wiki Fire with bullshit claims about Flunk Day falling on any day before May 13th. Don't you see? Project Knoxology follows Project Chanology! <--- Any true /b/tard knows that it's been down all day.<--- Clearly, ''someone'' doesn't know about the real /b/.<br />
<br />
12:05 I spoke with [[Laura Jorgenson]] on the gizmo patio an hour and a half ago, and she is on a leave of absence. What is she doing here? When I asked her, she laughed and ran away. I yelled, and she kept running and laughing. Laura holds the answer. Spencer Kingam Graham can substantiate. That's some heavy proof.<br />
<br />
12:06 am - I'm going to snoop around, with low hopes. If you don't hear back from me, my body will most likely be in the "Prairie". Best Cover-Effort ever? :P<br />
<br />
12:09 am - Derek Hayes finally bought his Flunk Day stash. See you all in the mud pit.<br />
<br />
12:14 am - DESU invasion occurred, and was subsided. Some people are looking out for the betterment of the WikiFire. This could be huge.<br />
<br />
12:22 am - I accidentally the entire Flunk Day. <------BEST UPDATE EVER. memelol<br />
<br />
12:25 am - I saw Jenn Snider go into the Campus Life office. My body has yet to be disposed of on the Prairie.<br />
<br />
12:29 am - 2009: the year Flunk Day got Septembered.<---Wait, when hasn't Flunk Day been Septembered?<br />
<br />
12:30 am - Are those lights always on in the back of the Caf? <--- Yes.<br />
<br />
12:40 am - Founders lab is abuzz with gossip that Flunk Day is Tomorrow (Today). Many of the occupants have left in the middle of their papers.<br />
<br />
12:42 PM<--- am! FAIL: Have the Friars been taken yet? Start trying to contact seniors and report back!<br />
<br />
12:43 am - Campus Safety officer has come to Founders. I fear I am in imminent danger. My body may yet turn up on the Prairie. There may be a mole.<br />
<br />
12:46 am - Quickie lady asked upon the purchase of a 24 pack of Pabst Blue Ribbon if the purchaser was "stocking up for tomorrow" and mentioned that alcohol sales had been above normal for the past hour. <- This is a cause-effect piece of information though. No doubt the Wiki's suspicions have influenced the volume of alcohol consumption/purchases in the past hour or two.<br />
<br />
12:57 am - i see the school busssssssssss........ aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa <----------- this could be HUGE<br />
<br />
12:58 am - TKE Brothers are convinced it's Flunk Day. Of course, they are always convinced it's Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
1:00 am - I see the bus too...FLUNK DAYY<br />
<br />
1:00 am - Both of the links previously posted for the blood drive show nothing for today. The person who gave the second link where it supposedly showed up was clearly hoping no one would actually check, because THERE'S NOTHING THERE! FLUUUUUNNNNNKKKKKK!!! <---- not true. go search for zip code 61401 and 10 miles out and knox college comes up. https://www.membersforlife.org/midamerica/mobilesch/bdc_schedule.php?page=zip&pdistance=5&zip=61401&did=188281&region=2<br />
<br />
1:02 am - overheard a bits of a conversation inside P-House about planning a scare (yes I listened through the window). Planned trajectory: quads, post, apartments. Involving dozens of seniors. IT'S ALL FAKE. They are trying to pull of "the biggest scare in Knox History". It is not today. <---- Fo sho. I hear there is going to be a HUGE scare.<--- doesn't mean anything. It could still be flunk day<br />
<br />
1:05 am- Above poster is correct about blood drive. Check for yourself. https://www.membersforlife.org/midamerica/mobilesch/bdc_zip.php <----Link has the parameters of "midamerica", if you search by city, only three states come up, none of them being Illinois. <br />
<br />
No blood drive listed. <--- Do 10 miles. <----- tried up to 30mi, nothing came up<-- I was the "above poster" I checked again and it came up. Then I tried again a few times and it's not coming up anymore. Looks like the Red Cross site is having problems, or perhaps Xavier has infiltrated them is taking the page down periodically just to flunk with us. <-- click on this link https://www.membersforlife.org/midamerica/mobilesch/bdc_schedule.php?page=zip&pdistance=5&zip=61401&did=188281&region=2<br />

1:08 am - Conger has a water balloon sling. Good fun.<br />
<br />
^this picture is HUGE <-------- literally<br />
Anyone else think Helmut looks kinda sexy here? No? Yeah, I'm going to bed.<br />
<br />
1:18 am - Reputable Quad RA seen curled in the fetal position sobbing uncontrollably. It must be Flunk Day. (Noo Felicity! Why did you sleep with HIM? He doesn't LOVE you!!!) <---- Reputable RA needs a life <---- Trust me.... I'm your RA.<br />
<br />
1:35 am - This page has gone suspiciously quiet. Clearly everyone is convinced and have moved on from wikifiring to drinking. <--- Clearly, you are naive because Flunk Day clearly does not exist!<br />
<br />
1:42 am the TKEs are always drinking that doesnt mean its flunk day. also Dan pers isnt even on UB why would he be a secret planner?<br />
<br />
2:02am I wonder if Flunk day is really TODAY... can anyone tell me that they for sure know it's flunk day?? (with more concrete evidences)<br />
<br />
2:05 am - Has anyone done any contact checking, or are we just going to leave it at that?<br />
<br />
2:10 am - A guy was totally witnessed walking down a street.<br />
<br />
2:12 AM: OK, I was in Wal-Mart at 11 PM (do not ask questions, blindly accept) and I saw at least 5 or more Knox students there.<--- it does not really mean anything, does it?? Knox Student go to Wal-Mart quite often ... <-- buying booze and mixers on a Tuesday night? Really?<---Have these people never heard of Hy-vee?<br />
<br />
2:15 am - POSSIBLE SECURITY BREACH! I just checked the properties on that picture of Helmut supposedly leaving the caf around 1:10. It says it was taken on 4/30/09 at 10:21 am. What is more, it was not taken with a camera phone at all (as the graininess of the photo would suggest) but rather with this camera, http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-DMC-FX01-Compact-Digital-Stabilized/dp/B000EBOC9U, which ought to produce a quality picture. Is it possible that someone among us, skilled in the finer arts of photoshop image darkening and noise distortion filters trying to flunk with us? <--- It looks 'shopped. I can tell by the pixels, and from having seen a few 'shops in my day. <-- slow shutter speed and high ISO would create this even on a good camera. And this is not photo shopped the lines where the bar crosses his leg are too crisp and precise for someone to be able to do that. <-- I DON'T THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE TO TALK ABOUT HELMUT'S FINE MAN-LEGS ON THE INTERNETS <-- Haha. Also, in my original comment I was not suggesting that he was pasted in or anything. Just that the picture was darkened and that noise was added. This has nothing to do with crisp bars. Furthermore, how do you explain the picture being taken on 4/30/09 at 10:21 am!?! <--------could be that the date was not set correctly in camera to start with. also the ceiling lights that light up the back wall. i would imagine they wouldn't be on during the day and trust me its not easy to photoshop those in there. also, if you look at the shadow casted by his body on the ramp, its pretty natural and blended in with the rest of the ramp. but if u think about it, the ramp faces west, in order to cast a shadow on the ramp like this the sun would need to be in the west sky at 10:21am...hmmmmm. <-- Yeah, I did notice the lights, but still, I dunno. Also, just looked back at the properties and the iso was 320 and the shutter speed 1/8 sec. <------ but also notice f/2.8 here. upon testing it with this exact combination(iso 320 1/8 at f/2.8) on my camera under not so ideal lighting, the picture seemed reproducible <---For fuck's sake, you all sound like you're discussing the Zapruder film or something. <--- Just mad cuz ur photoshop skills are the weakest of sauce.<br />
<br />
ITSSS FLUNK DAYYYYYYYYY AND IVE PUKED 3 TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <-- Freshman<br />
<br />
2:52 A.D. Flunk day pit is completely dug. Much thanks to residents from Elder, seymour, and whatever that building is in front of the mudpit. FLUNK ON DUDES!<br />
<br />
....................flunk day god............i need u...............................<br />
3:34 AM Bob Cassens claims that 'Glen' a TKE and a friar, has let his housemates know that today is the day. Fuck all living things if it is not the day.<br />
<br />
4:01am TKS just updated their website predicting that today is flunk day...now this IS huge LINK:http://www.theknoxstudent.com/newsroom/ <--- does TKS know???<br />
<br />
4:31 TKS finds out when the rest of you find out. The Flunk Day edition was printed a long time ago at the Register Mail and sits waiting for the Friars. The website changes were prepped months ago but TKS is just guessing in a rather clever attempt to become more relevant as a news-breaking rather than news-reporting media outlet.<br />
<br />
4:56am um.. flunk day scared? or is real flunk day????? @@ <- I Don't know, but I'm hearing a lot of yelling. No email yet tho... (also wondering how much im going to regret staying up til 5 if it's not...sonofa...) -XZ<br />
<br />
5:13 am - Can anyone explain to me what this flunk day thing is that everyone is getting worked up about?<br />
<br />
5:20 am- a large group of guys, possibly Betas, were seen near the Asian Culture House. they we're putting on shirts, probably, flunk day shirts! Also, some seniors were seen carrying grocery bags to the same location!<br />
<br />
5:37 a.m. Friars on the move.<br />
<br />
5:41 a.m. It's fuckin flunk day biotches!<br />
<br />
5:44 a.m. lots of noise. No email? No Bell?<br />
<br />
5:48 a.m. seriously where is the email?<br />
<br />
5:52 a.m. sorry kids, Knox just has a very organized, active senior class who put on a massive scare. today is not the day.<br />
<br />
5:56am. the email usually comes at 530am/>?? is this just a big flunk day scared?<br />
<br />
5:56 a.m. clearly not flunk day. go back to work.<br />
<br />
5:57 a.m. Helmet appears to be setting up the breakfast table, but nothing else is set up on campus (as seen through upperclass post window) Is it flunk day, or is Helmet just fucking with us?<br />
<br />
6:05 a.m. Xavier has sent the email, it is Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
Stop texting me!<br />
Stop calling me!<br />
<br />

<br />
Once again we enter into this mos hallowed of Knox celebrations and traditions...Flunk Day 2009. Have a great and SAFE day. Celebrate our distinctive culture and remember...the day is to Flunk!<br />
<br />
Happy Flunk Day 2009...and watch out for those 'Raptors...they stalk in the Prairie plot!<br />

<br />
7:50 a.m. - The entire senate exec board has been eaten by raptors so an impeachment is no longer necessary.<br />
<br />
11:50 a.m. - So can we get any definite confirmation on this whole flunk day thing?<br />
<br />
9:50 a.m. - is senior meeting still on?<br />
<br />
12:14 p.m. - Come on guys, it's just a scare, go back to bed.<br />
<br />
7:55 p.m. - I would like to enter for the record that the premise of the lead story of the TKS Flunk Day edition ([http://www.theknoxstudent.com/newsroom/news/knox-build-huge-ass-wall-between-college-and-commu/]) is suspiciously similar to a scampish edit I made to the Knox College entry on Wikipedia a full three and a half years ago ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Knox_College_(Illinois)&diff=prev&oldid=28638850]). Scandal!<br />
<br />
7:58 p.m. - Helmut almost hits me while driving really fucking fast down South St.<br />
<br />
11:40 pm - Mere hours ago, individuals in trucks and wearing "Event Staff" shirts witnessed near Seymour and Old Main. Can anyone confirm? THIS COULD BE HUGE.<br />
<br />
===Thursday, May 7===<br />
THUNDERSTORMS PROJECTED IN MAH PANTZ!!!!<br />
<br />
Someone deleted everything that was typed in for this day. This has got to be the work of the flunk day planners. Flunk day is on this day.<br />
11:34 pm Madeline Weiland, Sam Jarvis, and Elaine Wilson are studying for a physiology exam. Flunk Day! <--- Holy crap, a message from the Future!<br />
<br />
At roughly 10 AM on Wednesday a truck was spotted in the loading dock. Possible flunk day delievery?<br />
<br />
===Wednesday, May 13===<br />
<br />
Now that we all know Flunk Day was May 6, I think we can pretty much confirm it will most probably be May 13. Pam said so.<br />
<br />
What?<br />
<br />
Probably the last day Flunk Day could occur would be today. It generally does not happen this late (the latest it has been in approximately 6 years was Flunk Day 2007 on May 8th), none the less we know our friars like to feel original. They try to be tricky, we must always remember this. Some might say today isn't likely because of the NCAA Golf Tournament in Florida (Golf got screwed last year so they won't get screwed this year), however, it is important to remember that many a sports team has been royally fucked over in the past (see [[Flunk Day 2007]] and [[Flunk Day 2008]]). Additionally, there is a GRE prep course which barely matters (see Wednesday, May 6). In all likelihood Flunk Day will happen before this day, but we cannot rule it out. One thing is for sure, if you have not acquired the traditional alcohol stash by today, you're screwed.<br />
<br />
The events calendar was updated and Union Board now has an event on this day... possibly the night event for Flunk Day? <---- I noticed this too. It seems likely. <---True, but everytime Union Board has brought a comedian to campus this year, it's been on a Wednesday. I think it's just an event; not related to Flunk Day. <--- This is not just a COMEDIAN! This is a comedian that performs MAGIC TRICKS! Not only that, but he was named ENTERTAINER OF THE YEAR! (although no one quite knows who gave him that title). This is obviously a SPECIAL and UNUSUAL Wednesday!<----Holy shit, this better be Will Arnett!<br />
<br />
===Thursday, September 10===<br />
<br />
Xavier is just sneaky enough to have Flunk day next fall. The only event that day is convocation, which is likely just cover.<br />
<br />
==Conspiracy Theories==<br />
<br />
People, honestly, we can find SOMETHING on every day of the rest of the plausible Flunk Day dates that may mean that it can't be "that day." Obviously, somewhere along the lines, someone and/or something is going to get screwed over OR is fake. Deal with it. <br />
<br />
IMPORTANT FLUNK DAY UPDATE: NO, SERIOUSLY: OVERHEARD IN THE CAF FROM CAF PEOPLE: Flunk Day will NOT BE until after Mother's Day!<br />
<br />
There is quite plainly something in the water.<br />
<br />
It's Swine Flu. <br />
<br />
===April 27===<br />
Monday, April 27 was obviously a high-level scare organized by some high-level Flunkistrators. There seems to be, according to observations very credibly posted on this very page, evidence of vehicles moving around between parking lots. There would also seem to be evidence that this page is being watched, if not also doctored, by those very same Flunkistrators. Therefore, beware! They are watching us, the vigilantes, just as much as we are watching them!<br />
<br />
^Indeed. But the inevitability of Flunk Day means they can only hold out for so long. There are more of us than there are of them. Let's hope.<br />
<br />
Given the periodic whitewashing that is occurring regarding velociraptor sightings and the late Sherwood Kiraly, we are faced with a horrifying likelihood: the velociraptors have learned to edit wikifire.<br />
Or, more likely, people are annoyed at the fact that others are being really stupid about raptors where others are actually trying to figure out if it is flunk day. Half of the fun is the anticipation, and the whole velociraptors crap is just stupid and annoying. <----- Velociraptor sympathizer. <----- Or just a velociraptor.<---Either way, that person/dinosaur sucks. The raptor jokes and death of Sherwood Kiraly were hilarious. Shame they were erased. <---- Couldn't agree more.<br />
<br />
denied<br />
Yintense!<br />
<br />
===April 29===<br />
The data has been obscured and deleted numerous times. Of that we are certain. Whether this is due to penguins, velociraptors, tech-savvy Flunkistrators, or trollish first-years lacking in the "sense of humor" department remains purely speculative. <--- It's not trollish first-years, it's an inside job! WAKE UP, SHEEPLE!!<br />
<br />
Rotund alumni is staying at Knoxville Super 8 (which is technically a Galesburg Super 8) and there is one truck here: it says, plainly, "furniture". He is suspecting today is not Flunk Day, and will now take off to Chicago to continue his decadent junket.<br />
<br />
<br />
===May 1===<br />
Fieldtrip to Farmland CANCELED because of SWINE FLU. Obviously Xavier invented SWINE FLU as an ENORMOUS COVER UP. May 1st is FLUNK DAY. <---- ok first off, that was planned for thursday apr 30 and secondly, it wasn't a fieldtrip it was seven students going to the plant for a project. Stop being lame and go work on some midterms.<br />
<br />
Rumors of a Mos Def concert scheduled to be on campus Friday, May 1st. Last year Lucky Boys Confusion was used to cover up Flunk Day. Is the Mos Def Concert for real? Does anyone have proof? This could be huge. <--that is definitely false. they tried contacting him too late in the game.<br />
<br />
Off the hint of the velociraptor shenanigans being an inside job, the following was found: "velociraptor awareness day - April 17. on this day, you should remember those who have been killed by velociraptors, watch your children closely, make a floor plan of your house(complete with emergency escape routes), and warn your neighbors about possible velociraptor entry points(picture windows, screen doors, sliding doors, any doors that aren't locked, garages, and chimneys)" (wikiality.com/velociraptors) TOO LATE, INSIDE JOBBERS.<br />
<br />
If you have any questions, visit this website for more information: http://www.velociraptors.info/<br />
It will undoubtedly address any of your concerns.<br />

<div>[[Flunk Day]] 2008 is officially May 1st!! It is also tomorrow.<br />
<br />
==Rumors & Scares==<br />
<br />
===Tuesday, Apr 15===<br />
ART/JOUR 218 graphic design students receive email from prof., re. a client project DEADLINE EXTENSION!<br />
<br />
Original deadline: May 1 (Happy Flunk Day!). Negotiated deadline: May 2.<br />
<br />
===Monday, Apr 21===<br />
Rumors point to Monday as a good candidate date. This is corroborated by the fact that the 21st is now tomorrow, and everyone knows that Flunk Day is tomorrow.<br />
<br />
However, one has to wonder whether the administration is really going to put flunk day right after [[420|4/20]]. <br />
<br />
Still, it might be worth it to throw off [[Ashcroft]] protests.<br />
<br />
===Tuesday, Apr 22===<br />
This date is likely for two reasons: first, the fact that it's Earth Day and the administration might want to disrupt festivities so that [[KARES|independently organized club events]] don't make the college's [[half-assed]] official [[sustainability]] efforts look bad.<br />
<br />
Second, the John-Ashcroft-is-a Hoax theory states that actually [[John Ashcroft]] was never coming at all, and that it was simply a massive hoax to throw people off the track of Flunk Day. Then again, they totally wouldn't have [http://www.knox.edu/x20087.xml advertised it to the public on the website]. But it would certainly explain why no [[senate]] funds were used to bring him and why such a big name came to Knox.<br />
<br />
===Wednesday, Apr 23===<br />
Flunk Day was not on Wednesday however the best Flunk Day Scare ever happened. At 4:30AM over forty seniors gathered in all black at old Sigma Nu. The group couldn't wait till 5:45 to begin because most of them had been drinking all night. So at 4:50 a group picture was taken (will be on the next senior meeting flyer). At 5:00 the group was off towards Post and the Quads. Most of the seniors doing the scare decided that if it was really Flunk Day no one would come out. However, one suite in the quads was so convinced that they got in their swim suits and started drinking. A few min later security came. The event ended near the apartments after waking Jenny Davis up. <br />
<br />
Pretty much everyone thinks it's Wednesday. It ''would'' be a good way to work off stress from john Ashcroft, and the weather prognosis is the best this week. But flunk day was probably planned long before weather reports came out.<br />
<br />
Roger Taylor canceled a meeting with a student for "no reason." When she asked to reschedule to Thursday, he said, "I don't think that's a good idea." <br />
<br />
A student was observed on the bench in the mailroom stuffing flyers that said "It's Flunk Day 2008!" on them into a manila envelope. I couldn't see a date, but what are the odds they do that way in advance?<br />
<br />
Meryl Leventen, Alex Clark, and Jenn Snider were seen at Walmart between 11:30 PM - 12:00 AM. They were not buying anything. Rumor has it that they were checking up on orders for Wednesday. How this rumor started, nobody knows.<br />
<br />
A cashier at Hy-Vee on Main St. told a Knox student that there was a large food order scheduled to be shipped out at an unknown date within April. When further questioned, he said to ask a Becca, a "red-haired girl who lives in Town House-B and frequents Beta", because she knows the exact date of this food order. However, there is no girl named Becca in Town House-B.<br />
<br />
===Thursday, Apr 24===<br />
[[Nick Kalmus]] thinks so.<br />
I heard they have a special order of a large quantity of food coming in Wednesday night. <br />
<br />
Rumor also has it that a professor was warned off of having a field trip on thursday.<br />
<br />
Also, Lucky Boys Confusion is coming on thursday. A band on a thursday is a bit weird, right? (Actually coming Thursday May 1st)<br />
<br />
Although, The TRIO achievement program spring banquet is Thursday, Apr 24 evening. TRIO is part of the student development staff and on flunk day, the TRIO staff works the water station, tell people with booze to get rid of it, etc. I would imagine TRIO has booked this date and requested flunk day not to be Thurs Apr 21.<br />
<br />
===Friday, Apr 25===<br />
Well, it's never been on a friday yet...<br />
<br />
===Monday, Apr 28===<br />
Xavier Romano's coy little wink in the official Flunk Day e-mail indicated that we may be on the verge of experiencing a Monday Flunk Day (because we know a Friday Flunk Day could very well send half of campus to the ER), but it's unlikely to be the 28th. An acrobatic and aerial dance company (AMEBA) will be on campus all week, and an historian is giving a lecture to the public on Tuesday, Apr 29th. <br />
The weather forecast is also terrible, with a chance of rain all day and temperatures dropping down to 0 degrees.<br />
<br />
===Wednesday, May 6===<br />
Some people are banking on this to be the day, if the weather is nice enough. However, this day has the Carlin Career Development Luncheon scheduled, so sadly its a no go. Hopefully it won't be the week of April 28-May2, because it is supposed to be cold and rainy.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Wednesday, April 30th===<br />
<br />
Is a legitimate Flunk Day possibility (the only one of the week).<br />
<br />
No way, the art field trip is that day. Too many students are going, the charter busses have been ordered, as well as the food. Also, the art department is cooler than the environmental studies department, so don't use last year's slip-up as an argument against this. FLUNK DAY IS NOT THIS WEDNESDAY!<br />
<br />
===Thursday, May 1st===<br />
<br />
Flunk Day is totally May 1st. (Unless it is raining, in which case I stand by the fact that it was supposed to be May 1st). This is a popular misconception that rain will move the date - it won't! Ask any professor that's been here for awhile, there have been plenty of rainy Flunk Days! Xavier sent e-mails to certain seniors inviting them to the "1st Annual Leadership Recognition Convention" held at Fun City. He advised these seniors to wear something comfortable, and to bring their ID's, since there will be a cash bar. It can be assumed that these are the friars, and they will be returning on campus Thursday morning to get us all up and drinking. Also, Lucky Boy's Confusion is on Thursday. DUH.<br />
<br />
Has anyone actually seen the email mentioned above? If so, why isn't it posted here?<br />
<br />
But! Caxton club is having a bigwig speaker that day, Sheryl St. Germain. Purchase orders were made and sent. But if they didn't do it before the Feb. 20 deadline, tough luck.<br />
<br />
Perhaps this bigwig knows what's up because this morning the C-store got their big shipment, which ALWAYS comes on Thursdays!! Always. I unloaded this Thursday shipment last term, so I'm sure about this. Coincidence? No.<br />
<br />
I was waiting near Xavier's office this afternoon (wednesday), and a lady from the business office hurriedly went in with what looked like some receipts, closed the door, and didn't come out for 5 minutes.<br />
<br />
Roger is gone tomorrow.<br />
<br />
The EMT kids know when flunk day is, since they might have to serve in the ambulance. Class tomorrow was mysteriously canceled.<br />
<br />
Try taking a walk out now (12:30AM). There are guys emptying the garbage, and theres some people in the mail room (although the door is locked). Seymour loading dock is pretty active for a weeknight, and something smells funny.<br />
<br />
There's nobody in the mailroom, but apparently the golf tournament was canceled.<br />
<br />
The golf coach sat the team down and told them that they would be missing flunk day for the competition and to get over it.<br />
<br />
Caxton club was canceled.<br />
<br />
The seniors at the supposed leadership conference at fun city in Burlington IA just now (12:34AM) went out to a club. Since it takes an hour to get back here...UM clearly...<br />
<br />
It would take way too many resources to fake a scare like this. On the other hand, if tomorrow isn't Flunk Day... damn. The Seniors are going balls-out.<br />
<br />
THE SITUATION ROOM: In an effort to substantiate all of the rumors flying around about flunk day, some people here in the TKS room are fact-checking to see what we know. Thus far, this is what we have on good authority.<br />
<br />
*Seniors gone: 100% certainty. As of 12:40, these seniors are still at a club for a leadership conference.<br />
*Cancellations: <br />
Caxton club (50% certainty) - two sources confirm that the speaker isn't going to talk tomorrow, due to failure to schedule the purchasing order and rescheduling to Friday. <br />
Golf tournament (80%) - Three independent sources have confirmed to us that the golf tournament is canceled.<br />
Environmental panel (80%) - The "only student on the panel" informed us that it was canceled.<br />
*Roger: Nobody knows whether Roger is gone or not (0% certainty)<br />
*Mailroom: (70%) There's been activity in the locked area surrounding the mailroom, but no activity spotted within the actual mail room.<br />
*EMT kids: (25%) Some EMT kids have confirmed their instructor's knowledge of flunk day, but they themselves can't confirm anything.<br />
<br />
I just got back from Taco Bell (Fourth meal baby..) The cashier guy said "Happy Flunk Day" (whatever that means). Also, I hear that some sort of prep is going on in the CAF. Dim lights are on and there are people inside doing something apparently.<br />
<br />
Big environmental studies panel just got canceled. (100% certainty) 12:55am<br />
<br />

===Xavier Romano's Coy Little Wink===<br />
XR's wink may just be a red herring, intended to make freshmen susceptible to all sorts of ludicrous Flunk Day scares. Possibly this is a genius move of strategery. The first-years could experience so many convincing scares that by the time Flunk Day actually happens, they won't believe it, and don't start drinking until the sun rises, reducing the number of injuries caused by sleepy, drunken pratfalls in the dark.<br />
<br />
In order to combat this heinous grievance against the inebriation of first-years, every Knox student should begin each day with a shot of liquor, just in case.<br />
