| | | | |
| − | 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;
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 1 - We '''understand''' and '''respect''' the obvious safety and cleanliness concerns from the administration.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 2 - However, this does not justify the ending of a nearly century-old student tradition.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 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.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | We have talked to the administration - a long-term solution must come. Ideas include;
| |
| − |
| |
| − | - re-planting the pit/switching out some of the salty, infertile soil for good stuff, and planting flowers for the summer.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | - have sober(er) students to watch the pit
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <---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.

Which is why i think the flunk is soon. How soon? Tomorrow soon. | | WHAT THE FLUNK ARE THEY DOING?!?!?!?!?<--They do that every year. The mud pit is not sanctioned by KNOX.

| − | 4:13PM "Here lies the Post that never was." | + | 4:13PM no one gives a shit about flunk day anymore. this has happened for the past two years, everyone gets hyped up then annoyed so all flunk day they just drink more. this is why no one likes union board, instead of optimizing excitement they ruin it then get all huffy when people bitch about them. <-- You're complaining about THEM ruining the excitement? Look at your own post you whiny hypocrite. I'm annoyed too but its only been two prospective days that haven't turned out. You can't speak for everyone saying that "no one gives a shit anymore," that is far from true. <<-- As much as you think it's your God-given right to have flunk day, an awesome activity that few other college students will ever get to experience, you really have no right to bitch at the Flunk Day Planners. They work their asses off with you in mind. I don't know the intricate details of flunk day planning, or if they have any ability to change a preset date, but I'm pretty sure that they can't change it just because there's nice weather. Yes, it sucks that flunk day wasn't the 30th, but at least we get one. I'd much rather have one when it's raining than none at all. If you would like to further discuss this, please email me. Sincerely, Alyssa Gill. <---- ALL THE KIDS AT KNOX COLLEGE LIKED FLUNK DAY A LOT! BUT THE FLUNK GRINCH WHO MADE THIS POST DID NOT! <- first, it has NOT been only 2 prospective days, there were a few good days last week. im allowed to voice my opinion the same way you are. they missed the flunk day train. \ <--- I'm a first-year and I just really wish they would tell us what day Flunk Day was going to be. I need to know for my studies. |

| − | 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
| + | == May 2 == |
| | | | |
| − | The Admissions Ambassador meeting was originally scheduled for this day but was rescheduled for a week later.
| + | So apparently [[Daniel Beers]] asked [[DrAnna Meier]] (I accept this moniker, Chelsea Embree, you think you can hide, I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE) and [[Katie Miller]] to give a presentation in his class on May 2 but then mysteriously asked if they could do it on April 30 instead. Clearly, this was because of Flunk Day. <--- Probably because he moved his midterm to today. <--- Confirmed. He wanted the midterm moved to today. <--- you guys are lame. where is the Spirit of Flunk????<--- Searching for the truth is always in the spirit of Flunk. |

| − | No updates for 3 1/2 hours? C'mon, Flunkers, where's the hype? <---- Rumors of seniors going to Cherry St. tonight.

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.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 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.
