Flunk Day 2008

Flunk Day 2008 is tomorrow.

Rumors & Scares

Monday, Apr 21

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.

However, one has to wonder whether the administration is really going to put flunk day right after 4/20.

Still, it might be worth it to throw off Ashcroft protests.

Tuesday, Apr 22

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 independently organized club events don't make the college's half-assed official sustainability efforts look bad.

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 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.

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.

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."

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?

Thursday, Apr 24

Nick Kalmus thinks so. I heard they have a special order of a large quantity of food coming in Wednesday night.

Rumor also has it that a professor was warned off of having a field trip on thursday.

Also, Lucky Boys Confusion is coming on thursday. A band on a thursday is a bit weird, right? (Actually coming Thursday May 1st)

Friday, Apr 25

Well, it's never been on a friday yet...
