'''[[Anti-Philosophy Club]]'''
 
−
 
−
Post-Bunkism assumes that arguments cannot refer to some discrete or objective truth, and thereby cannot obfuscate the truth to a greater or lesser degree. Post-Bunkism basically says, "philosophical discourse is full of bunk, and as such, we're going to play Red Rover as a meaningful philosophical statement."

'''[[Seymour Defender]]'''

−
Because of the frequency at which he is set to "Drink" and "[[Party]]", [[Seymour Defender|Seymour]] rarely 'defends', and thus is actually quite vulnerable to attack, hence spending much of his time in residents' rooms, being [[drunk]] and robotic.

''Quiver'' is the title of Knox's collection of online magazines, which currently include [[The Third Level]] (science fiction and fantasy), [[Wynken, Blynken, and Nod]] (children's literature), and [[Diminished Capacity]] (humor). The webzines provide the campus with an outlet for genre fiction, poetry, and art, and each is named after a famous alumni author.

Before you vote, learn more about your student democratic body here. [[Student Senate]] serves two primary purposes.  First, it is the student body's legislative body for student affairs, most notably the distribution of [[club]] budgetary money and disbursement of the Senate Discretionary Fund.  Second, it is the students' primary advocate for student interests to the [[faculty]], [[staff]], and [[administration]], and to that end passes a lot of resolutions and conducts a lot of committee work making recommendations for reform.
