Flunk Day 2007

The Union Board in Seymour Union, 2007

Flunk Day 2007 occurred on May 8!! But it is still tomorrow.

Events

The Mud Pit

Residents of 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 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.

Two residents of Neal/Conger protest the sanding of the mud pit.

The aftermath, further evidence that 1200 drunk college students equals the explosive power of 3 sticks of dynamite.

The night before Flunk Day Neal 1 was 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; 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.

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. Not soon after the entire school joined them.

Some argue administration-deposited sand did more damage to the students' bodies than whatever had been in there before.

Neal 1 will continue the tradition and persevere through any obstacles the administration erects.
