Obviously, [[Schow Science Library|Schow]] and [[Sawyer Library|Sawyer]] are the best places to find [[books]] on campus. You can even search their [http://francis.williams.edu online catalog] without putting on pants. But it gets pretty chilly around Williamstown, and sometimes it'd be nice if you knew that someone in your dorm owned a book you were looking for so you didn't have to put on 8 layers of clothes and brave the cold. Here are books owned by people who are willing to share them, and their locations. '''Feel free to list your own, and put new entries at the top of the list.'''<br />

<div></div>06djlhttps://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Brandeis_University&diff=12885Brandeis University2006-07-03T16:36:57Z<p>06djl: </p>
<hr />
<div>Brandeis University is an institution of higher learning in Waltham, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston. It's best-known for, traditionally, a student body that's roughly 50% Jewish. <br />
<br />
== College Bowl ==<br />
<br />
Brandeis is a traditional rival of the Williams team at College Bowl. <br />
<br />
In the 2004 [[Penn Bowl]], Williams was playing Brandeis in the last match. Losing by 10 points going into the second-to-last question, [[Daniel Klein '06]] answered "the twin-slit experiment" to one question to which the accepted answer was "the double-slit experiment" and was ruled incorrect. Brandeis got the next tossup, on Himmler, and got 0 points on a hard bonus on the Pelopennesian wars, for a 20 point lead. Protesting the ruling on the previous question, Williams got to hear the next bonus, a simple one about Philadelphians Will Smit and Wilt Chamberlain, getting 20 points. On protest, the ruling was overturned, and Williams won by 10 points, an outcome that would certainly not have occurred if the correct ruling was originally made<br />
<br />
At that year's [[NAQT]] regionals, though, a two-man Brandeis team beat Williams twice, gaining revenge. Since then, when full Brandeis and Williams A-teams have played, Williams is 4-1, the last two wins having been recorded at [[Boston University]]'s January '06 mirror of the [[University of Michigan]]'s MLK tournament. The same Brandeis A-team also lost a playoff match to Williams' B-team in that tournament.</div>06djlhttps://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Dave_Letzler&diff=12807Dave Letzler2006-06-09T02:52:59Z<p>06djl: </p>
<hr />
<div>Dave Letzler (also known as "David" to his family and significant other, Katherine Bram '08 of [[Brandeis University]]) graduated in '06. He hails from Baldwin, NY, a town on Long Island. He was a prominent member of a number of campus organizations, including [[College Bowl]], [[Williams Trivia]], [[Elizabethans]], [[Chess Club]], [[Bridge]], the [[Literary Review]], and at times the Williams [[Democrats]]. He was also a member of [[Deviants]] from 2003-2006.<br />
<br />
== College Bowl Career Highlights ==<br />
Team captain for the three years, Letzler was the dominant player on the team for pop culture throughout his whole career, thus making him their best [[TRASH]] player. He was probably the strongest all-around literature player during that time, though [[David Rosenblum '03]] had more depth in many areas at the start of his career, and [[David Mathias '08]] has, at times, demonstrated superior breadth. He was otherwise a solid generalist, excepting the applied sciences.<br />
<br />
As a freshman, Letzler played in five tournaments in the 2002-2003 competition year. The first was [[TRASH]] Regionals at BU, where he led a small team in scoring and a 4-9 record against the steep and crusty competition, correctly answering questions about the Man Show Juggies, Pussy Galore, Tiffany's appearance in Playboy, and Shaft in Africa. He played a supporting role in Williams's 3rd-place finish in BU's [[Puppy Chow]] tournament, behind Harvard and Yale, and during the team's poor performance at [[Penn Bowl]], he managed to get a game-winning tossup on the Mustang Ranch. He, [[Daniel Klein '06]], and [[Evan Bick '06]] each placed in the top ten in scoring at [[NAQT]] Sectionals in February, earning a Division II Nationals berth. As Bick was unable to attend that tournament, Klein and Letzler joined captain Rosenblum at Nationals, where they came in 26th of 32 teams.<br />
<br />
With the departure of leading scorer Rosenblum, Letzler took over effective control of the team his sophomore year. The team only attended four tournaments, coming in a disappointing 5th at Puppy Chow, with Letzler leading the team in scoring, before having a surprising 10th-place finish in a 50-team field at that year's [[Penn Bowl]] with a short-handed team also including Klein and [[Brian Hirshman '06]], defeating [[MIT]] and [[Brandeis University]], the latter through a fortuitous sequence of events involving the double-slit experiment and Will Smith. However, the team was steadily beaten at NAQT Regionals that year, and despite high scores from Bick, Letzler, and Klein at [[CBI]] Regionals, the team only came in third.<br />
<br />
2004-2005 saw an upturn in the team's fortunes. With Letzler returning as captain, the team picked up a number of committed freshmen. Letzler, teamed with [[Brian Munroe '07]] came in fourth at Brandeis's Junior Bird, and led a team including Hirshman, [[Christopher Paci '08]], and [[Jason Kohn '08]] to a second-place finish at Harvard's COTKU Mirror. Letzler won his first neg prize at [[TRASH]] Regionals, though he finished second in playoff scoring. Playing with leading scorer Mathias, Munroe, and Hirshman, Letzler captained the team to a sixth-place finish at Yale's [[Bulldogs Over Broadway]], tragically forgetting John Foster Dulles's first name in a loss to [[Rutgers-Newark]], and forgetting the Ottoman Emperor Selim in a loss to [[Columbia]]. After captaining the team to a fifth-place finish at that year's [[Penn Bowl]] (after having stayed up the previous night to play [[Williams Trivia]] as the second-place remote team Penn15), a team composed of Mathias, Klein, Letzler, and Hirshman qualified for [[NAQT]] Nationals in Division I and won [[CBI]] Regionals, where Letzler placed second in scoring overall, his best individual performance to date. His teams finished 19th of 32 at [[NAQT]] Nationals and 7th of 16 at [[CBI]] Nationals.<br />
<br />
In 2005-2006, Letzler, with Paci and Bick, finished 4th at Brandeis's Heinrich Boll mirror, placing in the top ten in scoring. He also captained a team including Mathias and [[Zachary Thomas '08]] to a victory at Harvard's mirror of WIT, captained a team with Thomas, Hirshman, and [[Allison Smith '07]] to victory at the MLK mirror, and one with Thomas, Paci, and Hirshman to a second-place finish at ACF Fall, in which the team beat Harvard's A team twice (their only losses in the tournament). Most notably, he revived the team's annual TRASH tournament, [[Lemur Bowl]], in late October, which he directed and edited. After leading Williams through Regionals in ACF and NAQT, second only to full [[Brown]] and [[Harvard]] squads in the Northeast, Letzler took Williams to their first ACF National, placing 11th, and helped capture the Undergradute title at NAQT Nationals, ending his Williams College Bowl career.<br />
<br />
== Trivia Highlights ==<br />
As a freshman, Letzler formed the [[Williams Trivia]] team "Mortal Kombat Intelligence Skwad," including [[Laura Effinger-Dean '06]], [[Rachel S. Selinsky '06]], [[Samuel Clapp '06]], and [[Benjamin Cohen '06]]. This team came in fifth, and won the Frosh team prize, as they did the next semester as "Mortal Kumquat," where they finished third. Merging with remnants of the Part IV and Trotsky victors, they became "Mortal Wombat" and won the contest in January '04, running a well-received contest that May (though it was beset by some techinical problems and the need to write a last-minute Hour Bonus). The next semester, he and the College Bowl team played as Penn15 from a freshman dorm in UPenn, along with a friend of [[Max Gutman '08]] who lived there, taking a surprise second-place finish. The following semester, remnants of Wombat and Penn15 merged to form "Gratuitous Use of the World 'Belgium'", winners of that semester's contest.<br />
<br />
In addition to writing roughly a third of the on-air questions used in the Mortal Wombat contest, Letzler was responsible for organizing the mini-audios of "Movie Music" and "Video Game Music" from the Wombat contest, assembled by Effinger-Dean, as well as writing the "Pi" Audio. He was also a prime contributor to that contest's "Animation," "Music," and "76" bonuses.<br />
<br />
For the "Belgium" contest, Letzler was the primary writer and assembler of the "Hello/Goodbye" audio and the "Just Say No" video bonus, as well as providing assembly services for a classical audio. He was the main writer and assembler of the "Sheep" bonus as well as the helming the team effort on the "TV" super.<br />
<br />
For the "Awesome Sauce" contest, he wrote the guest "Dave" Super Bonus, and somehow ended up on the winning team again while playing with his girlfriend and his senior suite ([[Brian Hirshman '06]], [[Dan Burns '06]], and [[Johannes Pulst-Korenberg '06]] (whose sister also joined in))<br />
<br />
== Cuddling ==<br />
<br />
Dave is a cuddler extraordinaire. It's one of his nicest qualities, which are many.<br />

He was probably the strongest all-around literature player during that time, though [[David Rosenblum '03]] had more depth in many areas at the start of his career, and [[David Mathias '08]] has, at times, demonstrated superior breadth. He was otherwise a solid generalist, excepting the applied sciences.<br />
<br />
As a freshman, Letzler played in five tournaments in the 2002-2003 competition year. The first was [[TRASH]] Regionals at BU, where he led a small team in scoring and a 4-9 record against the steep and crusty competition, correctly answering questions about the Man Show Juggies, Pussy Galore, Tiffany's appearance in Playboy, and Shaft in Africa. He played a supporting role in Williams's 3rd-place finish in BU's [[Puppy Chow]] tournament, behind Harvard and Yale, and during the team's poor performance at [[Penn Bowl]], he managed to get a game-winning tossup on the Mustang Ranch. He, [[Daniel Klein '06]], and [[Evan Bick '06]] each placed in the top ten in scoring at [[NAQT]] Sectionals in February, earning a Division II Nationals berth. As Bick was unable to attend that tournament, Klein and Letzler joined captain Rosenblum at Nationals, where they came in 26th of 32 teams.<br />
<br />
With the departure of leading scorer Rosenblum, Letzler took over effective control of the team his sophomore year. The team only attended four tournaments, coming in a disappointing 5th at Puppy Chow, with Letzler leading the team in scoring, before having a surprising 10th-place finish in a 50-team field at that year's [[Penn Bowl]] with a short-handed team also including Klein and [[Brian Hirshman '06]], defeating [[MIT]] and [[Brandeis University]], the latter through a fortuitous sequence of events involving the double-slit experiment and Will Smith. However, the team was steadily beaten at NAQT Regionals that year, and despite high scores from Bick, Letzler, and Klein at [[CBI]] Regionals, the team only came in third.<br />
<br />
2004-2005 saw an upturn in the team's fortunes. With Letzler returning as captain, the team picked up a number of committed freshmen. Letzler, teamed with [[Brian Munroe '07]] came in fourth at Brandeis's Junior Bird, and led a team including Hirshman, [[Christopher Paci '08]], and [[Jason Kohn '08]] to a second-place finish at Harvard's COTKU Mirror. Letzler won his first neg prize at [[TRASH]] Regionals, though he finished second in playoff scoring. Playing with leading scorer Mathias, Munroe, and Hirshman, Letzler captained the team to a sixth-place finish at Yale's [[Bulldogs Over Broadway]], tragically forgetting John Foster Dulles's first name in a loss to [[Rutgers-Newark]], and forgetting the Ottoman Emperor Selim in a loss to [[Columbia]]. After captaining the team to a fifth-place finish at that year's [[Penn Bowl]] (after having stayed up the previous night to play [[Williams Trivia]] as the second-place remote team Penn15), a team composed of Mathias, Klein, Letzler, and Hirshman qualified for [[NAQT]] Nationals in Division I and won [[CBI]] Regionals, where Letzler placed second in scoring overall, his best individual performance to date. His teams finished 19th of 32 at [[NAQT]] Nationals and 7th of 16 at [[CBI]] Nationals.<br />
<br />
In 2005-2006, Letzler, with Paci and Bick, finished 4th at Brandeis's Heinrich Boll mirror, placing in the top ten in scoring. He also captained a team including Mathias and [[Zachary Thomas '08]] to a victory at Harvard's mirror of WIT, captained a team with Thomas, Hirshman, and [[Allison Smith '07]] to victory at the MLK mirror, and one with Thomas, Paci, and Hirshman to a second-place finish at ACF Fall, in which the team beat Harvard's A team twice (their only losses in the tournament). Most notably, he revived the team's annual TRASH tournament, [[Lemur Bowl]], in late October, which he directed and edited. After leading Williams through Regionals in ACF and NAQT, second only to full [[Brown]] and [[Harvard]] squads in the Northeast, Letzler took Williams to their first ACF National, placing 11th, and helped capture the Undergradute title at NAQT Nationals, ending his Williams College Bowl career.<br />
<br />
== Trivia Highlights ==<br />
As a freshman, Letzler formed the [[Williams Trivia]] team "Mortal Kombat Intelligence Skwad," including [[Laura Effinger-Dean '06]], [[Rachel S. Selinsky '06]], [[Samuel Clapp '06]], and [[Benjamin Cohen '06]]. This team came in fifth, and won the Frosh team prize, as they did the next semester as "Mortal Kumquat," where they finished third. Merging with remnants of the Part IV and Trotsky victors, they became "Mortal Wombat" and won the contest in January '04, running a well-received contest that May (though it was beset by some techinical problems and the need to write a last-minute Hour Bonus). The next semester, he and the College Bowl team played as Penn15 from a freshman dorm in UPenn, along with a friend of [[Max Gutman '08]] who lived there, taking a surprise second-place finish. The following semester, remnants of Wombat and Penn15 merged to form "Gratuitous Use of the World 'Belgium'", winners of that semester's contest.<br />
<br />
In addition to writing roughly a third of the on-air questions used in the Mortal Wombat contest, Letzler was responsible for organizing the mini-audios of "Movie Music" and "Video Game Music" from the Wombat contest, assembled by Effinger-Dean, as well as writing the "Pi" Audio. He was also a prime contributor to that contest's "Animation," "Music," and "76" bonuses.<br />
<br />
For the "Belgium" contest, Letzler was the primary writer and assembler of the "Hello/Goodbye" audio and the "Just Say No" video bonus, as well as providing assembly services for a classical audio. He was the main writer and assembler of the "Sheep" bonus as well as the helming the team effort on the "TV" super.<br />
<br />
For the "Awesome Sauce" contest, he wrote the guest "Dave" Super Bonus, and somehow ended up on the winning team again while playing with his girlfriend and his senior suite ([[Brian Hirshman '06]], [[Dan Burns '06]], and [[Johannes Pulst-Korenberg '06]] (whose sister also joined in))<br />

<hr />
<div>[[Category:Dining]]<br />
Known generally as "Knock-You-Nakeds." Probably the single best creation of Williams College [[Dining Services]]. A gooey, chocolate, caramel concoction with far more power and appeal than a "Knock-Your-Socks-Off Bar" but less liability than a "Death-By-Chocolate-and-Caramel Bar."<br />
<br />
A note to the nervous or paranoidally modest: eating one of these will not actually knock you naked.<br />
<br />
===The Recipe===<br />
Ingredients:<br />
1pkg.(18 1/2 oz) German Chocolate Cake mix <br />
1 cup chopped nuts<br />
1/3 cup + 1/2 cup evaporated milk-divided<br />
1/2 (or 3/4) cup melted butter really, one stick is plenty!<br />
60 vanilla caramels, unwrapped (one 14 oz pkg)<br />
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips<br />
<br />
<br />
In a large mixing bowl, combine dry cake mix, nuts, 1/3 cup evaporated milk and melted butter. Press half of the batter into the bottom of a greased 13x9x2 inch glass baking dish. It's really stiff batter, so I put waxed paper over it and really smushed it out. Don't worry - it will rise some in the oven. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for eight minutes.<br />
<br />
In the microwave or top of a double boiler melt caramels with remaining 1/2 cup evaporated milk. When caramel mixture is well mixed, pour over baked layer. Cover with chocolate chips. Pour remaining batter on top of morsels. Return to oven and bake 18 minutes (or less for gooier brownies). Let cool before cutting.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Events relating to Knock-You-Nakeds===<br />
<br />
* It has been rumored that there have been informal Knock-You-Naked eating contests. Contestants must have extreme endurance. In a non-contest setting, it is extremely rare to see a person try to eat more than one of these dense desserts.<br />
<br />
* In the 2004-2005 academic year, [[Lisetta Shah]] '06 et al managed to smuggle a large number of Knock-You-Nakeds out of [[Greylock Dining Hall]] by lowering them out the window in a tupperware container, using a large number of napkins all tied together for a rope.<br />
<br />
===The Ultimate Knock-You-Naked===<br />
<br />
Microwave a Knock-You-Naked for 20 seconds, or if it's cold, 30-40 seconds. Eat with fork. Caution: It's hot. It's also mighty tasty.<br />
<br />
For extra deliciousness, microwave the Knock-You-Naked as directed, and add a couple of scoops of vanilla ice cream on top.</div>06djlhttps://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Knock-You-Naked_bar&diff=12530Knock-You-Naked bar2006-05-19T21:43:36Z<p>06djl: </p>

<hr />
<div>Traditionally, there are seven action bonii, each announced on the half-hour.<br />
<br />
Like everything else, coming up with a good action bonus is a matter of inspiration. A good action bonus should both require the knowledge of some piece or area of trivia to be performed well, and invite varied and creative interpretations. As with other bonii, you should strive to cover many fields of trivia with the topics of your seven actions.<br />
<br />
Some of the most popular action topics are things that are patently impossible to reproduce, thus straining the imaginations of players. Traditionally, at least one bonus invites musical performances of some kind. Actions that invited nudity or minimal dress were once quasi-tradition, but have waned recently.</div>06djlhttps://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Trivia_Bonus_Guide&diff=12341Trivia Bonus Guide2006-05-15T18:18:20Z<p>06djl: /* Audio Bonii */</p>
<hr />
<div>It is standard practice in recent years that an hour bonus should have 40-60 questions, though some contests have strove to increase or decrease that number. There has been greater variance on supers, with the numbers of questions ranging from 100 to over 300. The better-received supers tend to have around 125-175 or so.<br />
<br />
Be sure to cover a variety of different genres of popular and high culture in your bonii. In particular, you should certainly cover television, film, and popular music. Once upon a time, it was traditional to have a sports bonus, but as the people winning contests have known less and less about sports, this tendency has almost vanished. Other topics that are often covered by either entire bonii or parts of bonii are games, fine arts, literature, history, and the sciences.<br />
<br />
====Audio Bonii====<br />
<br />
An audio hour bonus should be composed of 40-60 song clips on some kind of theme, of your choosing. A theme can involve similar lyrics, similar instrumentation, the relation of a narrative (e.g., The Wizard of Oz audio), etc.. The length of clips can be varied, but try to have each clip last a second or two; a series of half-second clips is usually unidentifiable by anyone.<br />
<br />
While every audio bonus will bear the fingerprints of the creator(s), attempt to have a range of music for varying tastes. Make sure you have a distribution of popular music representing each of the last six decades, though you should emphasize the music of the last 15 years. Be sure to cover classic/current pop, rock, R&B, hip-hop, country, indie/alt., and singer-songwriter folk. <br />
<br />
There are traditionally two audio bonii. However, if you have a non-audio music bonus or if you have an audio super-bonus, you may wish to reduce this number. Likewise, it can be increased if one audio bonus is something non-musical. For that matter, you don't have to have one at all if you don't feel like it.<br />
<br />
Audacity is a particularly good tool for assembling audio bonii.<br />
<br />
====Visual Bonii====<br />
<br />
While not as sacred as audio bonii, the majority of recent contests have had visual bonii of some kind. These usually represent television, film, and fine arts, but are not limited to these.<br />
<br />
There are three major types of visual bonii. The first requires taking a group of separate pictures and individually asking questions about each, typically basic identification of the source. A recent example is the Movie Stills bonus.<br />
<br />
The second is the collage. This involves creatively integrating the visuals into one, and having teams identify the component pieces. A recent example is the Animation bonus.<br />
<br />
The third is the video. This is similar to the audio bonus, but with video clips. Since it can be freeze-framed, there is less of an impetus to keep the video clips long, but clips of less than half a second are still irritating to identify. This is the most difficult and rarest type of visual bonus. The DVD "Just Say No" bonus (composed by ripping DVD chapters with AoA DVD Ripper and editing them with Blaze Media Pro) is a recent example.</div>06djlhttps://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Williams_Trivia&diff=12340Williams Trivia2006-05-15T18:15:05Z<p>06djl: </p>

<div>Dave Letzler '06 (also known as "David" to his family and significant other, Katherine Bram '08 of [[Brandeis University]]) is a senior residing in [[Fitch]]. He hails from Baldwin, NY, a town on Long Island. He's a prominent member of a number of campus organizations, including [[College Bowl]], [[Williams Trivia]], [[Elizabethans]], [[Chess Club]], [[Bridge]], the [[Literary Review]], and at times the Williams [[Democrats]]. He has also been a member of [[Deviants]] for the past three years.<br />

His teams finished 19th of 32 at [[NAQT]] Nationals and 7th of 16 at [[CBI]] Nationals.<br />
<br />
In 2005-2006, Letzler, with Paci and Bick, finished 4th at Brandeis's Heinrich Boll mirror, placing in the top ten in scoring. He also captained a team including Mathias and [[Zachary Thomas '08]] to a victory at Harvard's mirror of WIT, captained a team with Thomas, Hirshman, and [[Allison Smith '07]] to victory at the MLK mirror, and one with Thomas, Paci, and Hirshman to a second-place finish at ACF Fall, in which the team beat Harvard's A team twice (their only losses in the tournament).

As a freshman, Letzler formed the [[Williams Trivia]] team "Mortal Kombat Intelligence Skwad," including [[Laura Effinger-Dean '06]], [[Rachel S. Selinsky '06]], [[Samuel Clapp '06]], and [[Benjamin Cohen '06]]. This team came in fifth, and won the Frosh team prize, as they did the next semester as "Mortal Kumquat," where they finished third. Merging with remnants of the Part IV and Trotsky victors, they became "Mortal Wombat" and won the contest in January '04, running a well-received contest that May (though it was beset by some techinical problems and the need to write a last-minute Hour Bonus).

The following semester, remnants of Wombat and Penn15 merged to form "Gratuitous Use of the World 'Belgium'", winners of that semester's contest.<br />
<br />
In addition to writing roughly a third of the on-air questions used in the Mortal Wombat contest, Letzler was responsible for organizing the mini-audios of "Movie Music" and "Video Game Music" from the Wombat contest, assembled by Effinger-Dean, as well as writing the "Pi" Audio. He was also a prime contributor to that contest's "Animation," "Music," and "76" bonuses.<br />
<br />
For the "Belgium" contest, Letzler was the primary writer and assembler of the "Hello/Goodbye" audio and the "Just Say No" video bonus, as well as providing assembly services for a classical audio. He was the main writer and assembler of the "Sheep" bonus as well as the helming the team effort on the "TV" super.<br />

<div>Dave Letzler '06 (also known as "David" to his family and significant other, Katherine Bram '08 of [[Brandeis University]]) is a senior residing in [[Fitch]]. He hails from Baldwin, NY, a town on Long Island. He's a prominent member of a number of campus organizations, including [[College Bowl]], [[Williams Trivia]], [[Elizabethans]], [[Chess Club]], [[Bridge]], the [[Literary Review]], and at times the Williams [[Democrats]]. He has also been a member of [[Deviants]] for the past three years.<br />
<br />
== College Bowl Career Highlights ==<br />
Team captain for the past three years, Letzler has been the dominant player on the team for pop culture throughout his whole career, thus making him their best [[TRASH]] player. He's probably been the strongest all-around literature player during that time, though [[David Rosenblum '03]] had more depth in many areas at the start of his career, and [[David Mathias '08]] has, at times, demonstrated superior breadth. He's otherwise a solid generalist, excepting the applied sciences.<br />
<br />
As a freshman, Letzler played in five tournaments in the 2002-2003 competition year. The first was [[TRASH]] Regionals at BU, where he led a small team in scoring and a 4-9 record against the steep and crusty competition, correctly answering questions about the Man Show Juggies, Pussy Galore, Tiffany's appearance in Playboy, and Shaft in Africa. He played a supporting role in Williams's 3rd-place finish in BU's [[Puppy Chow]] tournament, behind Harvard and Yale, and during the team's poor performance at [[Penn Bowl]], he managed to get a game-winning tossup on the Mustang Ranch. He, [[Daniel Klein '06]], and [[Evan Bick '06]] each placed in the top ten in scoring at [[NAQT]] Sectionals in February, earning a Division II Nationals berth. As Bick was unable to attend that tournament, Klein and Letzler joined captain Rosenblum at Nationals, where they came in 26th of 32 teams.<br />
<br />
With the departure of leading scorer Rosenblum, Letzler took over effective control of the team his sophomore year. The team only attended four tournaments, coming in a disappointing 5th at Puppy Chow, with Letzler leading the team in scoring, before having a surprising 10th-place finish in a 50-team field at that year's [[Penn Bowl]] with a short-handed team also including Klein and [[Brian Hirshman '06]], defeating [[MIT]] and [[Brandeis University]], the latter through a fortuitous sequence of events involving the double-slit experiment and Will Smith. However, the team was steadily beaten at NAQT Regionals that year, and despite high scores from Bick, Letzler, and Klein at [[CBI]] Regionals, the team only came in third.<br />
<br />
2004-2005 saw an upturn in the team's fortunes. With Letzler returning as captain, the team picked up a number of committed freshmen. Letzler, teamed with [[Brian Munroe '07]] came in fourth at Brandeis's Junior Bird, and led a team including Hirshman, [[Christopher Paci '08]], and [[Jason Kohn '08]] to a second-place finish at Harvard's COTKU Mirror. Letzler won his first neg prize at [[TRASH]] Regionals, though he finished second in playoff scoring. Playing with leading scorer Mathias, Munroe, and Hirshman, Letzler captained the team to a sixth-place finish at Yale's [[Bulldogs Over Broadway]], tragically forgetting John Foster Dulles's first name in a loss to [[Rutgers-Newark]], and forgetting the Ottoman Emperor Selim in a loss to [[Columbia]]. After captaining the team to a fifth-place finish at that year's [[Penn Bowl]] (after having stayed up the previous night to play [[Williams Trivia]] as the second-place remote team Penn15), a team composed of Mathias, Klein, Letzler, and Hirshman qualified for [[NAQT]] Nationals in Division I and won [[CBI]] Regionals, where Letzler placed second in scoring overall, his best individual performance to date. His teams finished 19th of 32 at [[NAQT]] Nationals and 7th of 16 at [[CBI]] Nationals.<br />
<br />
In 2005-2006, Letzler, with Paci and Bick, finished 4th at Brandeis's Heinrich Boll mirror, placing in the top ten in scoring. He also captained a team including Mathias and [[Zachary Thomas '08]] to a victory at Harvard's mirror of WIT, captained a team with Thomas, Hirshman, and [[Allison Smith '07]] to victory at the MLK mirror, and one with Thomas, Paci, and Hirshman to a second-place finish at ACF Fall, in which the team beat Harvard's A team twice (their only losses in the tournament). Most notably, he revived the team's annual TRASH tournament, [[Lemur Bowl]], in late October, which he directed and edited. After leading Williams through Regionals in ACF and NAQT, second only to full [[Brown]] and [[Harvard]] squads in the Northeast, Letzler took Williams to their first ACF National, placing 11th, and helped capture the Undergradute title at NAQT Nationals, ending his Williams College Bowl career.<br />
<br />
== Trivia Highlights ==<br />
As a freshman, Letzler formed the [[Williams Trivia]] team "Mortal Kombat Intelligence Skwad," including [[Laura Effinger-Dean '06]], [[Rachel S. Selinsky '06]], [[Samuel Clapp '06]], and [[Benjamin Cohen '06]]. This team came in fifth, and won the Frosh team prize, as they did the next semester as "Mortal Kumquat," where they finished third. Merging with remnants of the Part IV and Trotsky victors, they became "Mortal Wombat" and won the contest in January '04, running a well-received contest that May (though it was beset by some techinical problems and the need to write a last-minute Hour Bonus). The next semester, he and the College Bowl team played as Penn15 from a freshman dorm in UPenn, along with a friend of [[Max Gutman '08]] who lived there, taking a surprise second-place finish. The following semester, remnants of Wombat and Penn15 merged to form "Gratuitous Use of the World 'Belgium'", winners of that semester's contest.<br />
<br />
In addition to writing roughly a third of the on-air questions used in the Mortal Wombat contest, Letzler was responsible for organizing the mini-audios of "Movie Music" and "Video Game Music" from the Wombat contest, assembled by Effinger-Dean, as well as writing the "Pi" Audio. He was also a prime contributor to that contest's "Animation," "Music," and "76" bonuses.<br />
<br />
For the "Belgium" contest, Letzler was the primary writer and assembler of the "Hello/Goodbye" audio and the "Just Say No" video bonus, as well as providing assembly services for a classical audio. He was the main writer and assembler of the "Sheep" bonus as well as the helming the team effort on the "TV" super.<br />
<br />
For the "Awesome Sauce" contest, he wrote the guest "Dave" Super Bonus, and somehow ended up on the winning team again while playing with his girlfriend and his senior suite ([[Brian Hirshman '06]], [[Dan Burns '06]], and [[Johanes Pulst-Korenberg '06]] (whose sister also joined in))<br />

College Bowl is the varsity sport for people who have too many factoids lodged in their brains. It's sort of like Jeopardy, except with teams and more random exclamations of excitement, woe, or unfathomable lust for the character of Elmer Gantry.<br />

== Williams Trivia ==<br />
<br />
If you're reading this, you might also be interested in a little thing called [[Williams Trivia]], which, while being nothing at all like College Bowl, also involves teams and dislogding long-forgotten factoids from one's brain...just with more caffeine, music, and semi-naked people.</div>06djlhttps://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Vending_machines&diff=10798Vending machines2006-05-04T21:12:47Z<p>06djl: /* Hopkins Basement */</p>

''Please update frequently with the availability of various beverages at different machines, card acceptance/rejection, eating of money, and any other advice/warnings.''<br />
<br />
== General News and Info ==<br />
<br />
In the fall 2005, twenty campus vending machines, through the efforts of [[Dining Services]], were fitted with motion sensors which turn the machine on when people walk in front of it. These devices conserve enough energy to pay back the cost of the device in as little as 4 months. <br />
<br />
== Coke machines ==<br />
<br />
"Soda" is actually called ''pop'' [http://www.popvssoda.com by some people]. Others try to please most demographics by refering to it as "soda pop," while still others, for some inexplicable reason, call all varieties of soda "coke." The title of this section is able to sidestep this issue, as Coca-Cola Co. has a deal with the college to provide free beverages in the dining halls in return for the exlusive right to put vending machines on campus, thus all soft drinks here may be justifiably gathered under the term "Coke." <br />
<br />
=== '62 CTD Basement ===<br />
<br />
Located in the depths of the lower level in the mini-kitchen. The card reader does not work and if you ask for your dollar bill back it gives you quarters instead.<br />
<br />
===Art Studio===<br />
<br />
Albeit unreliable when it comes to using change (the coin slot has been broken for quite some while), the soda machine takes cards and dollar bills. Located on the 2nd floor of Spencer, in the nook next to the couches.<br />
<br />
=== Bronfman Basement ===<br />
<br />
A good alternative if the Schow machine is empty. Has been known to emit two bottles of diet coke for the price of one on more than one occassion, perhaps due to the fact that the bottle sometimes gets stuck while being dispensed and some don't think to reach up and pull it out. It can be frustrating, however, that there are three slots for regular coke despite the fact that diet coke is frequently sold out.<br />
<br />
=== Brooks ===<br />
<br />
It's a coke product machine underneath the staircase as you go down to the basement. It now accepts coins. Joy.<br />
<br />
=== Bryant ===<br />
<br />
Takes neither cards nor coins, so keep your dollars crisp. Make sure your item is in stock too, because it doesn't return those dollars either.<br />
<br />
===Carter===<br />
<br />
This one is outside the building in the overhang. Card reader is broken.<br />
<br />
=== Dodd Kitchen ===<br />
<br />
Frequently problems with card reader. Some occasional problems with cash as well... coins are your best bet.<br />
<br />
=== Fitch Basement ===<br />
<br />
Near the pool table; a good alternative if the Prospect machine is empty or not working. However, quite frequently steals money.<br />
<br />
Also very convenient for Odd Quad residents trying to finish problem sets at 3 AM.<br />
<br />
===Garfield===<br />
<br />
Situated in the basement, the soda machine only takes change.<br />
<br />
=== Goodrich, 2nd floor ===<br />
<br />
A dark horse, reliable diet coke source which lurks next to the copy machine on the second floor.<br />
<br />
=== Greylock Dining Hall ===<br />
<br />
What was the point of putting vending machines behind doors that would be locked at night, when students would need them most?<br />
<br />
=== Hopkins Basement ===<br />
<br />
Located near the men's bathroom, perhaps the most theiving machine on campus. Also boasts the worst selection of drinks (particularly when the Coke and Sprite are sold out). However, undeniably useful if one has a morning class in Hopkins or is drooping off during [[College Bowl]] practice.<br />
<br />
=== Jesup 2nd floor ===<br />
<br />
Another good alternative, though it has sometimes not worked. May eat your cash.<br />
<br />
Update: The coke machine currently does not work.<br />
<br />
Update 2: Appears to be fixed<br />
<br />
=== Mission ===<br />
<br />
Machines on both sides.<br />
<br />
The snack machine in the lounge/pool room gives an error message and steals $.75 about every other time a card is inserted.<br />
<br />
=== Morgan ===<br />
<br />
Located in the basement. Was the cause of much frustration for certain upperclassmen living there this past summer; never accepted either cash or cards, necessitating the meticulous collection of loose coins before making a trip downstairs.<br />
<br />
=== Prospect Basement===<br />
<br />
If you're in the mood for [[Jagged Ice]], be warned. To get this most awesome of the [[Powerade]] varieties, you may have to push the button for the less awesome orange-colored Powerade variety.<br />
<br />
Very convenient for Odd Quad residents seeking caffeine at 3 AM.<br />
<br />
Has been known to give water instead of Powerade.<br />
<br />
=== Sawyer entrance ===<br />
<br />
Infrequently empty.<br />
<br />
Except during finals, when there's no diet coke by the end of reading period.<br />
<br />
=== Schow Entrance ===<br />
<br />
Probably the most-used on campus. Nifty dispenser. Runs out of Diet Coke frequently. Known to eat cards. The only machine with Dr.Pepper, also known to contain diet coke with lime just after being re-stocked.<br />
<br />
Has, in the past, been very convenient for [[Williams Trivia]] players seeking caffeine at 5 AM.<br />
<br />
=== Stetson near Office Services ===<br />
<br />
Somewhat creepy as it's motion-activated; when you approach it, it suddenly springs to life. Has bottles. usually full.<br />
<br />
=== Thompson ===<br />
<br />
It's between the Big House and the annex. It dispenses Coke products, and it has the motion sensor thing. If you duck, stealthily, you can avoid activating the motion sensor every time you come in the door. This saves energy.<br />
<br />
===Williams E===<br />
<br />
Basement, by the laundry machines.<br />
<br />
== Juice machines ==<br />
<br />
=== Jesup ===<br />
<br />
It's on the second floor, north side, and dispenses Minute Maid brand products. . . or eats your money.<br />
<br />
=== Sage Basement ===<br />
Like an awesome slot machine, sometimes it wastes your money, but once in the while you hit the jackpot. I once got 4 for the price of one.<br />
<br />
=== Williams E ===<br />
<br />
Near the Laundry machines. As of this summer, dispensed two orange juices for the price of one. Considered a delight by many.<br />
<br />
=== Hopkins Basement ===<br />
<br />
== Warm beverage machines ==<br />
<br />
Downstairs below Sawyer library.<br />
<br />
Outside Schow Library, behind the stairs in front of the restrooms. It gives no indication of when it's out of cups, however, and so your hot drink (and your money) may end up down the drain.<br />
<br />
== Snack machines ==<br />
<br />
=== Schow Entrance ===<br />
<br />
Rarely has strawberry pop-tarts. Bronfman basement is, generally, a safer bets for a strawberry pop-tart buzz.<br />
<br />
=== Greylock Dining Hall ===<br />
<br />
Like the coke machine, this is also inaccessible at night.<br />
<br />
=== Hopkins Basement ===<br />
<br />
For a faultless vend, 24 hours a day (you might have to come in through the security door on the East side and walk down the whole hall... occasionally well worth it though). As of Nov. 30th, refuses to take coins, although still delivers when presented a crisp Washington.<br />
<br />
=== Lasell Gym ===<br />
<br />
Installed next to the Powerade vending machine at the entrance during Spring Break 2006. Perhaps the most ironically placed snack machine on campus.<br />
<br />
=== Mission Lobby ===<br />
<br />
Tucked in the corner of the room with the pool tables.<br />
<br />
=== Prospect Basement ===<br />
<br />
Love them strawberry pop-tarts. Make sure you have dollar bills or change because the snack machines won't take your card.<br />
<br />
=== Bronfman Basement ===<br />
<br />
If you're studying in Schow and the machine there is out of your favorite treat, sneak over to this under-utilized gem.</div>06djlhttps://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Common_courtesy&diff=10349Common courtesy2006-05-02T16:01:30Z<p>06djl: /* Interactions with others */</p>
<hr />
<div>[[Category:Advice]]<br />
Or, how not to be a total asshole to complete strangers, which could and should be the real title of this entry. Please expand.<br />
<br />
====Interactions with others====<br />
# Entering or exiting a building: look behind you to see whether anyone else is coming through the same door in the next 5 seconds. If the door will slam in the face of the person behind you, hold it open.<br />
# If you see someone right outside, and opening the door would involve no more effort than extending your arm, go ahead and give it a push.<br />
#* In particular, let the pizza dude inside, even if it ain't your pizza. We're lucky to get delivery here.<br />
# If there are two doors going into a building, and a large amount of people are squeezing through one while the other door remains closed, open and go through the unopened door so as to optimize the flow of traffic.<br />
# If you see someone carrying boxes, ask if there's a door you can open.<br />
# If someone is standing in front of a dorm with a sleeping bag and a prospectus, and appears to be under the age of 20, offer to swipe the person in.<br />
# Say hello to people you meet. If someone else says hello to you, respond in kind. Bonus points for smiling while saying hello.<br />
# Don't destroy or abuse property. Particularly not if it belongs to somebody else.<br />
# Say "excuse me" rather than just pushing past people in a crowd or a constricted space.<br />
# Wave to, nod, or mouth "thank you" to drivers who stop for you to cross on a pedestrian crossing. It's the law for them to stop, but it's still polite when they do because many don't.<br />
#* Look both ways before you cross the street, even if you're at a crosswalk.<br />
# Don't write things in ALL CAPS. or all lowercase, for that matter. Ever.<br />
# Avoid egregious public displays of affection. <br />
#*(Also note if one displays egregious PDA it is apparently innappropriate to [[Great Places to Make Out, Apparently|create a wiki about it]]--this was news to me)<br />
#** (More like "it's common courtesy not to gossip.")<br />
# If you're done using a public computer, close all the windows so people know it's not in use.<br />
# If someone farts in Schow, make believe you didn't hear it. (Even though you did and it's hilarious)<br />
# When watching a movie when other people are present, don't talk (unless the movie is awful and the group as a whole wants to).<br />
# Log off computers when you're done with them unless you want strangers to look through (and potentially modify) the non-public files in your [ftp://achilles.williams.edu Achilles account].<br />
#You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, husband, non-monogamous partner, or simply his/her recent random hookup. Also can be stated as, "Thou shall not covet sloppy seconds."<br />
#You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friend's nose.<br />
<br />
====Residential life====<br />
# If you cook in a kitchen, for God's sake, clean up after yourself. Don't leave your spaghetti sauce on the stove top until spring break. If you cook and "that mess was there when I got here," just take a few minutes and clean it up anyway. Your guests probably don't want to eat in filth.<br />
# Don't throw your old sardines, or any other stinky refuse, into the bathroom trash can. There is a trash room.<br />
# Knock the lint out of the lint screen after you use the dryer.<br />
# Talk to your janitor.<br />
# If possible, leave space on the sidewalk so others don't have to walk in water, mud, or snow. If you're walking in a group and one person comes in the opposite direction, move behind someone in your group so the person passing can use the sidewalk as well.<br />
#* And be careful how you maneuver with that umbrella. You almost took my eye out. <br />
# If you yak or see someone yak in a place that's a bit out of the way--a basement, far-off corner, or anywhere that isn't a toilet, really--make your best effort to tell someone responsible that there's a stinky, biohazardous mess on the floor.<br />
# Don't leave your laundry in the washer or dryer for hours after it's done. No one wants to touch your wet underwear to move it out of the way and other people like having clean clothes too.<br />
#* If, by chance, the person before you has left laundry in the washer (we all do it once in a while) be so nice as to move the clothes into an empty drier, if available. You might as well, and it keeps them clean and away from the spilled bleach that is inevitably everywhere. <br />
#** If you spill bleach in the laundry room, wipe it up. <br />
# Don't sample random people's shampoo, toothpaste, face wash, etc just because it's in the bathroom.<br />
# Turn off the television when you leave and no one else is watching, even if it's a TV in a public space. ''Especially'' if it's a TV in a public space.<br />
#Don't steal. Some stealing is okay though, like stealing food and [[free stuff]]. Especially free stuff.<br />
# Keep in mind that you live with other people. Playing music loudly late at night when people are trying to sleep or study, especially after having been requested to turn it down, is incredibly rude. Be considerate and use common sense.<br />
#*Blasting music in the quad, no matter what time of day, is unnecessary and inconsiderate. Not everyone shares your taste in music (and even if they do, they don't necessarily want to hear it thumping through their closed windows).<br />
<br />
====Dining halls====<br />
# If there's only one omelet left at the dining hall, ask the person behind you if they want half.<br />
# When putting up your tray in [[Greylock Dining Hall|Greylock]] or [[Driscoll Dining Hall|Driscoll]] or [[Mission Dining Hall]], gently place your silverware into the cloudy blue dishwashing solution, don't throw it in there and splash everyone around you. <br />
# Oh yeah, and don't try to compost paper cups, saltine wrappers etc...there's a trash can for that.<br />
# Compost your napkins and tea bags.<br />
# Thank the cardswiper people in the dining halls.<br />
# When putting your tray away at any dining hall, have the courtesy not to cut other people who are waiting in line to do the same thing, even if you are rushed. If you can't resist the urge to cut people when you are rushed, give yourself enough time to put your tray away before you need to leave for class or whatever else you need to go to after a meal. <br />
#*On the subject of busing trays, please do just that. Don't leave random glasses, plates, or even full trays of food at your table, because it's disrespectful (and not to mention degrading) to the people who work hard to feed you.<br />
#* In fact, don't cut people when you aren't rushed; for instance, in the line for [[First Fridays]]. Being drunk and not wearing enough clothing on a cold night are not excuses.<br />
<br />
====Sustainability====<br />
# If the room is empty, and you're leaving, turn off the lights. Please.<br />
# When in a library, kindly turn the light off when you leave a carrel.<br />
# If you go outside to smoke, for crying out loud, throw away your cigarette butts when you're done. Littering is not cool, ever, and this is no exception.<br />
#* Also, don't huddle right outside the doors to the building. Nobody wants to walk through a cloud of smoke every time they need to enter or exit.<br />
#If you have a plastic/glass/aluminum container to toss, but the nearest public recycling bin is full, hang onto it until you come to one that isn't full rather than making a pile on top of the bin. The facilities staff should not have to remove dozens of empty bottles sitting on top of the container before they empty it.<br />
====Classes====<br />
# Don't fall asleep in a discussion class. [[Coffee]] is your friend.<br />
# If you must fall asleep in any class, try not to snore loudly or jolt awake too hilariously.<br />
# When engaged in debate, distinguish between criticisms of your argument and criticisms of your character.<br />
#* Don't make the latter when you're trying to make the former.<br />
#* Don't interpret the former as the latter.<br />
# When you go into the Language Lab, hand your ID card to the monitor, don't just throw it into the bin.<br />
<br />
====Cell phones====<br />
# Before entering a classroom, a library, a concert, a lecture, a play, or a movie, put your cell phone on vibrate. PLEASE. (How about just turn it off or silence it completely? You can't answer it, why should you care if it's ringing?)<br />
# If you are in the library and feel the need to talk to someone on your cellphone, have your conversation in an area where people aren't studying nearby. Also refrain from having loud, long conversations with other people in the library when people are trying to study around you.<br />
<br />
====Public performances====<br />
# If you are at a classical music or choir performance, or at the 62 Centre or movie theater, shut up during the performance.<br />
# Do not loudly unwrap throat lozenges in the middle of the music or play. If you have a cough, it's best to unwrap one before the music/play/whatever starts, or during a break in the middle.<br />
# Do not clap between movements, or at any point where the conductor asks you not to clap.<br />
# If you are 168 years or older, recall that you've suffered hearing loss. What seems to be an inconspicuous whisper to you is actually quite loud.<br />
# Don't bring small children.<br />
# Take off your hat.<br />
# Turn off or silence your cell phone - do NOT leave it on vibrate.<br />
# Don't send text messages.<br />
<br />
====The oft-troubling existence of hats====<br />
# Take off your hat indoors.<br />
#* Especially in class.<br />
#* Find a way not to be offended by those JERKS who would dare wear HATS indoors. How dare they though, right? Outrageous.<br />
#* Find somebody who genuinely doesn't understand WHY wearing a hat indoors is considered offensive, and explain it to them in a polite and, above all, well-reasoned manner. Because, seriously, I don't get it.<br />
#**It's not necessarily ''offensive,'' but it is ''courteous'' to remove hats. It's something I picked up from military customs and courtesies (and before that, teachers; and before that, parents). Two reasons: First, you can see a person's whole face/head better without a hat, and so personal interactions are more open and expressive without it. Second, leaving a hat and/or jacket on indoors gives the impression that the person is about to leave the building and, presumably, the people in the building with whom they are interacting. When I have a coat/hat on indoors and am talking to my parents, for instance, I'm liable to hear the expression, "hey, take off your coat and stay a while!"<br />
#* Don't begrudge people who leave hats and jackets on indoors given Williamtown's near arctic climate.<br />
#** Hey, presumably it's not subzero ''indoors.'' (Well, in most [some?] buildings.) And baseball caps do very little to keep people warm. Regardless, even the military makes exceptions to this courtesy for temperature, religion, etc.<br />
#* How about receding hairlines? Do those warrant keeping the hat on? Or what about just a bad hairday? Nasty scar? Pimple? Scalped by natives?<br />
#* Especially if you are at an event at Chapin Hall, Brooks Rogers, Images, the theater, etc. I can't see the play/concert/speaker/movie through your giant ushanka or that baseball hat jauntily propped so that it adds an additional five inches to your head.</div>06djlhttps://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php?title=CBI&diff=10095CBI2006-04-23T22:01:53Z<p>06djl: </p>

<div>College Bowl Incorporated is the oldest [[College Bowl]] organization in the country, originally producing GE's radio and TV quiz bowl show hosted by Allen Ludden. Today, however, it lacks a major corporate sponsor for its regional and national tournaments. Its format, timed 8-minute halves with 10 points tossups and bonii worth 20-30 points, is essentially unchanged since its inception. While being the highest-scoring, fastest-paced, and least-predictable format, it is frequently criticized by current players for having prohibitively high costs (both for entry fees and for the intramural questions teams must purchase to qualify), for having too little academic content, for having questions that do not reward depth of knowledge, and for engaging in practices that sometimes are perceived as cheating or fradulent. Serious players who like its pace and emphasis on pop culture and current events typically favor [[NAQT]], while players looking for more academic rigor favor [[ACF]].</div>06djlhttps://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Graduate_school&diff=9938Graduate school2006-04-20T19:47:35Z<p>06djl: </p>

<hr />
<div>Dave Letzler '06 (also known as "David" to his family and significant other, Katherine Bram '08 of [[Brandeis University]]) is a senior residing in [[Fitch]]. He hails from Baldwin, NY, a town on Long Island. He's a prominent member of a number of campus organizations, including [[College Bowl]], [[Williams Trivia]], [[Elizabethans]], [[Chess Club]], [[Bridge]], the [[Literary Review]], and at times the Williams [[Democrats]]. He has also been a member of [[Deviants]] for the past three years.<br />
<br />
== College Bowl Career Highlights ==<br />
Team captain for the past three years, Letzler has been the dominant player on the team for pop culture throughout his whole career, thus making him their best [[TRASH]] player. He's probably been the strongest all-around literature player during that time, though [[David Rosenblum '03]] had more depth in many areas at the start of his career, and [[David Mathias '08]] has, at times, demonstrated superior breadth. He's otherwise a solid generalist, excepting the applied sciences.<br />
<br />
As a freshman, Letzler played in five tournaments in the 2002-2003 competition year. The first was [[TRASH]] Regionals at BU, where he led a small team in scoring and a 4-9 record against the steep and crusty competition, correctly answering questions about the Man Show Juggies, Pussy Galore, Tiffany's appearance in Playboy, and Shaft in Africa. He played a supporting role in Williams's 3rd-place finish in BU's [[Puppy Chow]] tournament, behind Harvard and Yale, and during the team's poor performance at [[Penn Bowl]], he managed to get a game-winning tossup on the Mustang Ranch. He, [[Daniel Klein '06]], and [[Evan Bick '06]] each placed in the top ten in scoring at [[NAQT]] Sectionals in February, earning a Division II Nationals berth. As Bick was unable to attend that tournament, Klein and Letzler joined captain Rosenblum at Nationals, where they came in 26th of 32 teams.<br />
<br />
With the departure of leading scorer Rosenblum, Letzler took over effective control of the team his sophomore year. The team only attended four tournaments, coming in a disappointing 5th at Puppy Chow, with Letzler leading the team in scoring, before having a surprising 10th-place finish in a 50-team field at that year's [[Penn Bowl]] with a short-handed team also including Klein and [[Brian Hirshman '06]], defeating [[MIT]] and [[Brandeis University]], the latter through a fortuitous sequence of events involving the double-slit experiment and Will Smith. However, the team was steadily beaten at NAQT Regionals that year, and despite high scores from Bick, Letzler, and Klein at [[CBI]] Regionals, the team only came in third.<br />
<br />
2004-2005 saw an upturn in the team's fortunes. With Letzler returning as captain, the team picked up a number of committed freshmen. Letzler, teamed with [[Brian Munroe '07]] came in fourth at Brandeis's Junior Bird, and led a team including Hirshman, [[Christopher Paci '08]], and [[Jason Kohn '08]] to a second-place finish at Harvard's COTKU Mirror. Letzler won his first neg prize at [[TRASH]] Regionals, though he finished second in playoff scoring. Playing with leading scorer Mathias, Munroe, and Hirshman, Letzler captained the team to a sixth-place finish at Yale's [[Bulldogs Over Broadway]], tragically forgetting John Foster Dulles's first name in a loss to [[Rutgers-Newark]], and forgetting the Ottoman Emperor Selim in a loss to [[Columbia]]. After captaining the team to a fifth-place finish at that year's [[Penn Bowl]] (after having stayed up the previous night to play [[Williams Trivia]] as the second-place remote team Penn15), a team composed of Mathias, Klein, Letzler, and Hirshman qualified for [[NAQT]] Nationals in Division I and won [[CBI]] Regionals, where Letzler placed second in scoring overall, his best individual performance to date. His teams finished 19th of 32 at [[NAQT]] Nationals and 7th of 16 at [[CBI]] Nationals.<br />
<br />
In 2005-2006, Letzler, with Paci and Bick, finished 4th at Brandeis's Heinrich Boll mirror, placing in the top ten in scoring. He also captained a team including Mathias and [[Zachary Thomas '08]] to a victory at Harvard's mirror of WIT, captained a team with Thomas, Hirshman, and [[Allison Smith '07]] to victory at the MLK mirror, and one with Thomas, Paci, and Hirshman to a second-place finish at ACF Fall, in which the team beat Harvard's A team twice (their only losses in the tournament). Most notably, he revived the team's annual TRASH tournament, [[Lemur Bowl]], in late October, which he directed and edited. After leading Williams through Regionals in ACF and NAQT, second only to full [[Brown]] and [[Harvard]] squads in the Northeast, Letzler took Williams to their first ACF National, placing 11th, and helped capture the Undergradute title at NAQT Nationals, ending his Williams College Bowl career.<br />
<br />
== Trivia Highlights ==<br />
As a freshman, Letzler formed the [[Williams Trivia]] team "Mortal Kombat Intelligence Skwad," including [[Laura Effinger-Dean '06]], [[Rachel S. Selinsky '06]], [[Samuel Clapp '06]], and [[Benjamin Cohen '06]]. This team came in fifth, and won the Frosh team prize, as they did the next semester as "Mortal Kumquat," where they finished third. Merging with remnants of the Part IV and Trotsky victors, they became "Mortal Wombat" and won the contest in January '04, running a well-received contest that May (though it was beset by some techinical problems and the need to write a last-minute Hour Bonus). The next semester, he and the College Bowl team played as Penn15 from a freshman dorm in UPenn, along with a friend of [[Max Gutman '08]] who lived there, taking a surprise second-place finish. The following semester, remnants of Wombat and Penn15 merged to form "Gratuitous Use of the World 'Belgium'", winners of that semester's contest.<br />
<br />
In addition to writing roughly a third of the on-air questions used in the Mortal Wombat contest, Letzler was responsible for organizing the mini-audios of "Movie Music" and "Video Game Music" from the Wombat contest, assembled by Effinger-Dean, as well as writing the "Pi" Audio. He was also a prime contributor to that contest's "Animation," "Music," and "76" bonuses.<br />
<br />
For the "Belgium" contest, Letzler was the primary writer and assembler of the "Hello/Goodbye" audio and the "Just Say No" video bonus, as well as providing assembly services for a classical audio. He was the main writer and assembler of the "Sheep" bonus as well as the helming the team effort on the "TV" super.</div>06djlhttps://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php?title=National_Academic_Quiz_Tournaments&diff=9928National Academic Quiz Tournaments2006-04-20T03:46:06Z<p>06djl: </p>
<hr />
<div>National Academic Quiz Tournaments, LLC, is an organization that produces [[College Bowl]] questions and holds regional and national tournaments at the high school and college level every year. Currently led by R. Robert Hentzel, NAQT is a timed tossup/bonus format with 9-minute halves. NAQT is thought to occupy a middle ground between [[CBI]] and [[ACF]]: its questions contain some pop culture and current events but have consistently high academic content, harder than CBI but easier than ACF; its tossups emphasize pyramidality but are shorter and less dense than those of ACF; its bonii are all worth 30 points; it is timed, though the last bonus can be finished after time expires. Many players criticize NAQT for having too many "cutesy" questions and not enough academic content, though this criticism is limited compared to that directed against CBI.<br />
<br />
NAQT's National tournament is distinctive for having an upper and lower division, and for emphasizing the Undergraduate champion of the former and the Community College champion of the latter. On April 8, 2006, Williams won the Division I Undergraduate title, beating Chicago B 315-205 in the final.<br />

<div>Currier is a dormitory on the [[Berkshire Quad]], unique both in architecture and traditional inhabitants. Three floors rise above ground and one, despite being called the basement, is below ground on the quad side but opens into air on all other sides. It is one of the core [[Odd Quad]] buildings, in that, along with [[Fitch]], it traditionally houses upperclassmen of the [[Deviant]] and [[WARP]] culture type, and others who enjoy their company.<br />

As all dorms of the Berkshire Quad, Currier is served primarily by the [[Driscoll]] dining hall.<br />

Windows offer views in all directions, and the Currier 3rd floor rooms with a vista towards the [[mountains]] probably have the most beautiful views on campus. The west side of the building features a view of beautiful Berkshire Quad, and three balconies accessed by large French windows on the second floor. The outer two of these balconies attach to common rooms, but the center has the distinction of adjoining [[Currier C21]]. <br />
<br />
The idiosyncratic layout of Currier's interior gives rise to some strange features. Two very large stairwells of slate steps that provide access from the first to third floor occupy a large volume of the space inside. The stairwells divide Currier into north, center, and south suites, with about six rooms on each of these suites. The north- and south-west corner rooms are quite coveted for their size, light, and views of the quad.<br />
<br />
The common areas on the top three floors are the negative space amidst the odd positioning of Currier's rooms. The center halls of the second and third floors have no common space of their own at all; the first has an enormous room that is typically the house gathering space. On the north and south ends of the buildings, common areas take a different shape depending on the floor. The second floor's are quite awkward, and defy description. See the plan [http://wso.williams.edu/plans/floor?id=24 here], or just imagine a rectangular room with a big bite taken out of the top.<br />
<br />
=== The Basement ===<br />
<br />
For most dorms, it is not worth writing a seperate section for a seperate floor of the building, but Currier basement is one of a kind, and is isolated almost entirely from the floors above. The only way to get from the basement to another floor without exiting and reentering the building is via a treacherous spiral staircase running from the garbage room on the first floor to a landing in the center of the basement. Residents of upper floors carrying loads of laundry have a tough choice between the hassle of picking down the spiraling stairs, whose metal surfaces are more like rungs than steps, or leaving the building quadside and reentering through the center door.<br />
<br />
The crown jewel of the basement is, without a doubt, the [[#The Ballroom|ballroom]], which deserves its own section below.<br />
<br />
Rooms in Currier are high-ceilinged and generally large, with the most coveted facing north and featuring balconies that, unfortunately, nearly abut [[Route 2]]. Champion among basement quarters is B11, the gargantuan double in the northwest corner, which has an old (sealed) fireplace above which is fixed a large stone face.<br />
<br />
=== The Ballroom ===<br />
<br />
Occupying the lion's share of Currier's basement is its ballroom, a one-of-a-kind social space on the Williams campus. After [[Goodrich Hall]], the ballroom is probably the second most booked space on campus for social and arts events, and it has played host to all manner of activity.<br />
<br />
From the center door facing the Berkshire Quad, a grand staircase sweeps down into the basement, pausing on a landing to offer a glimpse of the ballroom through a semi-circular window. To the left lies remainder of the descent to the ballroom door. Inside is a space like none other on campus: a throw rug covers the middle of the floor, and, if all has not been moved aside for the night's revelry, on it sits an enormous wooden table surrounded by high-backed, plush-cushioned chairs. In the far corner is one of the campus's few grand [[pianos]], which I have heard is kept in relatively good tune.<br />
<br />
A large skylight once spanned nearly all of the ballroom's ceiling; alas, for concerns about its integrity it has long had black platforms laid over it so that you would not even notice this feautre unless you knew to look. During daytime, however, large french windows along the east wall cast ample light across the room to mirrors on the far wall designed to mimic their transparant sisters. Even the real windows, however, offer no relief from clammy air during a hot dance: they are alarmed and cannot be opened without special dispensation from [[Security]] (which can be obtained by prior arragment, and is worth it for dances and hot days).<br />
<br />
The ballroom has seen it all; events of all kinds that Williams students have dreamed up over the years, and every year student groups clamor to reserve the space for more. Arguments between those with scheduling control over the space (currently [[House Coordinators]]) and those who wish to use it have flared in the past, as the ballroom is a space that the campus depends on, but inhabitants of Currier are frequently of a mind to control its use, as noise from events are quite audible to the basement rooms. Thus does Currier's ballroom find herself building a history of torrid flings with events of all persuasions, but always the loyal mother of the Odd Quad, true to them in her own way.<br />
<br />
Some events known to have taken place in the ballroom are listed below:<br />
<br />
*Perennial plays and one-acts by [[Cap and Bells]], the student theater organization.<br />
*Before it got large enough to need [[Goodrich Hall]], [[Queer Bash]] was held in the ballroom.<br />
*Occasional [[contradance|contradances]], especially the Valentine's Day and Halloween Contradance, which benefit from the ballroom ambiance.<br />
*[[Sarah! Croft '04]] gathered actors to perform a number of murder mysteries -- some of which were her original works -- that unfolded in the ballroom, to the delight of the [[Deviants]] and other friends.<br />
*A resident of Currier held a private party, notable for a hired stripper, during the [[fall of 2003|Fall 2003]] -- and got away with it.<br />
*A duel of honor, by epee, took place here between John Mugno '05 and Gavin McCormick '05 after the Valentine's Day Contradance of [[spring 2004]]. John won by a touch.<br />
<br />
==Inhabitants==<br />
<br />
By class year, Currier is probably the most diverse house on campus, both because of its range of quality of room and the range of reasons that drive people to live there. On the one hand, some of Currier's rooms are first rate, desirable for purely their own sake. On the other, Currier has a recent history of being [[Odd Quad]] in nature, and Odd Quadders have been willing to live in any kind of squalor to be near each other, quite willing to take the less desirable center rooms in Currier for the quad's unique social scene.<br />
<br />
Though Currier has earned a reputation as the younger Odd Quad dorm (sophomores and juniors to Currier, seniors to [[Fitch]] and [[Prospect]] [[crow's nest|crow's nests]], it always holds a large number of people from other social groups. The layout of Currier, with its many fire doors and stairwells that strongly divide the space, allow for a a compartmentalization of groups if those groups will it, while spaces such as the ballroom and first floor common room allow larger bodies to meet.<br />
<br />
Currier's residents have made their dorm the primary home for these activities in the past and present:<br />
<br />
* '''[[Bridge Club]],''' which enjoyed a renaissance of players in early 2004. <br />
* '''[[Chocoholics]],''' chocolate eating society that has bounced between Currier and Fitch since its founding by Rachelle Hassan '03.<br />
* '''[[Storytime]].''' Never a club, but a regular meeting of students who would gather to hear Chris Holmes '03 read a tale from the balcony of his room C 21, which he had traded with Nina Trautman '03 to get specifically for the purpose of storytime. Chris would later join with Jesse Dill '04 to found the [[Deviants]], and the storytimers were the first core members of the group.<br />
* '''[[WARP]].''' It was once faily commonplace for Currier to spew [[bop-swording|bop-sworders]] out onto the quad to make battle, and the ballroom was an ideal site for WARP's LARPs (live action role play).<br />
<br />
== Fun Facts ==<br />
<br />
*With two bathrooms and about 18 residents per first-through-third floor, Currier features the highest resident/bathroom ratio on campus.<br />
*The roof of the Currier Ballroom is the easiest to access on campus. Climb through the window of the spiral staircase room and there you are! Great for a house party, sunbathing, and making a snow sculpture in a strange place for (half) your dormmates to see.</div>06djlhttps://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Daniel_Klein&diff=7879Daniel Klein2006-03-02T04:19:52Z<p>06djl: </p>

<div>Tradtionally, there are seven action bonii, each announced on the half-hour.<br />
<br />
Like everything else, coming up with a good action bonus is a matter of inspiration. A good action bonus should both require the knowledge of some piece or area of trivia to be performed well, and invite varied and creative interpretations. As with other bonii, you should strive to cover many fields of trivia with the topics of your seven actions.<br />
<br />
Some of the most popular action topics are things that are patently impossible to reproduce, thus straining the imaginations of players. Traditionally, at least one bonus invites musical performances of some kind. Actions that invited nudity or minimal dress were once quasi-tradition, but have waned recently.</div>06djlhttps://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Williams_Trivia&diff=6889Williams Trivia2006-01-24T22:25:59Z<p>06djl: /* Articles About Running Trivia */</p>

<hr />
<div>Coming up with an Ultra Bonus is more or less a matter of inspiration. However, there are a few things to keep in mind when writing yours.<br />
<br />
First, there are typically three clues given to the ultra at the top of every hour. Obviously, you should make the clues progressively easier as each hour passes. The 8th set of clues should all be well-known examples of the theme, and the theme should be the first thing you'd expect someone to think of when looking at them.<br />
<br />
The case used to be that all ultra clues were verbal clues. However, in recent years, visual clues have become more common, and on at least two occasions there have been audio clues as well. <br />
<br />
While all of the clues should clearly relate to the theme once you know what it is, an individual set of clues can have its own, misleading sub-theme; for example, pictures of Shelby Manhaten, C. Montgomery Burns, and Nelson Mintz from "The Simpsons" were the fourth set of clues for the "US Senators" Ultra.</div>06djlhttps://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Williams_Trivia&diff=6887Williams Trivia2006-01-24T22:16:08Z<p>06djl: /* Articles About Running Trivia */</p>

==Guidelines for beginning question-writing==<br />
<br />
It's a good idea to phrase an on-air question to encourage short answers.<br />
<br />
You do NOT need to have a realm, subrealm, and song match on questions when you initially submit them. If you do, that's just great and peachy and wonderful – but if you don't, we can always add them later. Don't neglect to send a good question just because you can't think of a brilliant subrealm or something. Provide them if you have them, but don't worry about it if you don't. The question is really the point - the rest is just frosting.<br />
<br />
You DO need to check your facts. Seriously. It's very not-cool to get into a contest and find that the reason no one is getting the answer is because the answer is wrong. Generally, checking facts for a question takes roughly 30 seconds, so it's worth the effort.<br />
<br />
And finally, when you get a good on-air idea, write it down, write it down, write it down! People are always having great ideas and then forgetting them before they reach their email. That's sad. Don't do that.<br />
<br />

==Guidelines for slightly more advanced question-writing==<br />
<br />
Here are two keys to making a good factoid into a good Trivia question:<br />
<br />
1. Specificity.<br />
<br />
QUESTION: A man in Europe found something weird in his house. What was it?<br />
<br />
BETTER QUESTION: Last January, Pierre Duchamp returned from a shopping trip to find something highly unexpected in his kitchen. What was it?<br />
<br />
It's not hard to figure that there are roughly 5 squintillion correct answers to the first question, and no way for a team to know which we want. The second, though, narrows the field enough that we can safely assume there's only one answer. This means that teams are far less likely to yell at us, which is good.<br />
<br />
2. Comic timing.<br />
<br />
QUESTION: Joe Schmoe holds the record for most raw giant squid eaten in one sitting. How many raw giant squid did he eat?<br />
<br />
BETTER QUESTION: On March 27, Joe Schmoe set a new world record by eating 67 of these in 30 minutes. What did Joe Schmoe eat?<br />
<br />
This one's simple - the most entertaining part of a question should almost always be the answer. Eating 67 squid is hardly more interesting than eating 52 squid or 74 squid, but eating 67 squid *is* more interesting than eating 67 cheeseburgers. ''Think of the answer as the "punchline" to your question, and organize it accordingly.'' After all, if you're going to wait the length of a song to hear an answer, you want it to be worth the wait.<br />
<br />
-[[Laurie Brink]], 2004<br />
<br />
== Song Lyrics and the FCC ==<br />
'''Someone should review and revise this information as necessary, according either to FCC rules or having a DJ confirm these rules with WCFM.'''<br />
<br />
Find out WCFM's regulations and procedures regarding obscenities in lyrics from the WCFM general manager. Songs with explicit lyrics will be limited to the wee hours of the morning, and should be preceded with warnings of inappropriate material by the DJs, so warn them in the schedule of songs and questions you give them. Typically, obscene lyrics are acceptable before 6 AM, so long as the standard obscenity-warning is played on air periodically.<br />
<br />
== Other DJ Duties ==<br />
Because of WCFM's recently closer relationship with the FCC, DJs must ID their station hourly (?) and also provide regular weather reports during broadcast. Find out the rules for this as well, and consider reminding the DJs in your On-Airs sheet.<br />
<br />
== Song Length ==<br />
Team Deine Mutter ist eine Geekenwehrmachtstaffel strove to keep all songs between 2 and 4.5 minutes long. The idea is not to have a song go on for too long but also make sure the teams have enough time to call in and make their guesses.<br />
<br />
Many teams in recent years have opted to edit songs which are too long, to bring them within the recommended length guideline listed above. On rare occasion, teams have looped songs to make them long enough to use.<br />
<br />
== Song Matching ==<br />
In general, a good song match gives oblique hints to the answer and may also relate, by song title or artist, to the topic or to the answer.<br />
<br />
Also, given that Trivia goes on overnight, keep as many of the songs as you can perky and peppy. Save extra-peppy songs you don't have a good match for to have played during the 4:00 a.m. break.<br />
<br />
===The Perfect Williams Trivia Song===<br />
<br />
The perfect on-air song was released eight years ago. The perfect on-air song got a lot of radio airplay, and was all over MTV, too. It peaked in the Billboard Top 10. It's three minutes and five seconds long. Naturally, it's up-tempo, maybe even dancey. The group that performs it never had as big a hit again. If we're lucky, they had no other hits at all. Everybody playing Trivia used to hear the perfect on-air song three times a day, for 6 weeks, eight years ago, but hardly ever since then. The recording artist has a provocative band name (or else the song title's unusual-- hey, why not both?) which can be exploited to create a non-linear connection with a trivia question. his connection ideally involves sex, mayhem, or smug superiority on the part of the team asking the question.<br />
<br />
To sum up: there is no perfect on-air song.<br />
<br />
But, if you keep all the songs in the 2:30-3:40 range (editing mercilessly where required)....<br />
<br />
....if you choose an eclectic mix of big bouncy hits, and naggingly familiar obscurities....<br />
<br />
....if you play 90+ songs that haven't been used in previous Trivia contests....<br />
<br />
....if you emphasize music from the last decade, but make sure to span a wide range of eras....<br />
<br />
....if you keep the sound generally peppy, especially your first 10 songs and your last 30....<br />
<br />
....if you get a lot of teammates involved in nominating songs and matches, so that the whole contest isn't filtered through one set of ears....<br />
<br />
....if you really work hard, free associate, and don't give up looking until you have at least 20 truly witty matches, so that a question about doors doesn't always end up paired with a song by the Doors....<br />
<br />
....well, then people will STILL complain about the music. But Baby Jesus in Heaven will know you did a good job.<br />
<br />

<br />
===Matching Questions And Songs===<br />
<br />
All of the examples in this section are from the January 2003 and January 2004 contests, ones in which I was a party to the music matching process. Please keep in mind that nothing in this section should be taken as gospel; however, these hints have been proven to work well, and are the minimum doses recommended by the FDA as part of a nutritional contest.<br />
<br />
Once in a while, when trying to match songs to questions, nothing beats inspiration from above: <br />
<br />
Question: According to a recent study, how do herring communicate with each other underwater?<br />
<br />
Answer: Flatulence. Scientists call the fishies' system "FRTS"-- Fast Repetitive Tick Sounds.)<br />
<br />
Song: "Tiny Bubbles" by Don Ho<br />
<br />
<br />
But, of course, it's rarely that easy. Song matching for Trivia is definitely an art. But it's also a science. One way to win the hearts and minds of Trivia players is to think of songs that use plays on words involving either the answer or (for less of a hint), the question:<br />
<br />
Question: As many websites will tell you, we're down to 155 days. For what?<br />
<br />
Answer: For the Olsen Twins to become legal.<br />
<br />
Song: "Let Me In" by the Sensations<br />
<br />
<br />
Question: Uncombined alkali, carbonates and various mineral matter make up 0.56% of what product?<br />
<br />
Answer: Ivory Soap.<br />
<br />
Song: "No Scrubs" by TLC<br />
<br />
<br />
Question: What was the biggest-selling album to be allowed to go out of print?<br />
<br />
Answer: Milli Vanilli's debut.<br />
<br />
Song: "Funkytown" by Lipps Inc.<br />
<br />
<br />
Question: Doctors expressed concern in 1899 that a certain frenetic activity would "destroy the feminine organs of matrimonial necessity." What?<br />
<br />
Answer: Bicycling.<br />
<br />
Song: "Pop That Coochie" by 2 Live Crew<br />
<br />
<br />
There's nothing wrong with the typical, yet good, "clue derived from the song/artist" match:<br />
<br />
Question: The town nearest the center of Utah is Levan. How did Levan, Utah get its name? <br />
<br />
Answer: "Navel" spelled backwards.<br />
<br />
Song: "The Hardest Button to Button" by the White Stripes<br />
<br />
<br />
Question: If you wanted to visit the pyramids of Malpighi, where would you go?<br />
<br />
Answer: Your kidneys.<br />
<br />
Song: "Stones" by Neil Diamond<br />
<br />
<br />
One of the most hotly debated points about the Trivia song regards when to use easier songs. My opinion is that they should be used when:<br />
<br />
1. The answer is a long, drawn out affair, perhaps with multiple parts, and there just wouldn't be time for a team to reasonably be expected to pay attention to the song as well;<br />
<br />
2. The song match is too cute to pass up...<br />
<br />
Question: What TV series featured a series of six female impersonators during its 17-year run?<br />
<br />
Answer: "Lassie."<br />
<br />
Song: "The Bitch is Back" by Elton John<br />
<br />
<br />
3. The song has something that matches the question SO strongly, there's no substitute that would work as well:<br />
<br />
Question: Hall of Fame NFL coach George Allen is known for developing the "nickel defense," as well as creating offseason training camps. However, another popular football tradition didn't work out as well for him. What happened in Allen's final game, when he was coaching Long Beach State?<br />
<br />
Answer: His players dumped a keg of Gatorade over his head. He contracted pneumonia, and died weeks later.<br />
<br />
Song: "Pour Some Sugar on Me" by Def Leppard<br />
<br />
<br />
Of course, Parts 2 and 3 also work for obscure songs..<br />
<br />
Question: There is a copy of the Koran at the "Mother of all Battles" mosque in Baghdad. What is unique about this particular holy book? <br />
<br />
Answer: It is written in Saddam Hussein's blood.<br />
<br />
Song: "My Heart is an Open Book" by Carl Dobkins Jr.<br />
<br />
<br />
There's also much confusion as to how, specifically, one should match a song. Generally, a hint contained in the title is pretty safe. I would STRONGLY advise against using a song because a lyric in the song that is NOT the title contains a clue, UNLESS the lyric is repeated frequently enough that someone listening would associate the oft-repeated line with the hint that you are trying to convey . For example, if I had a question for which the answer was "a cobra", I would NOT use, say, "The End" by The Doors on the basis of the lyric "ride the snake", even though it is repeated once. ("Crawling King<br />
Snake", also by The Doors, would be fine if you really wanted to use The Doors). By the same token, it is also inadvisable to make a "double jump" in logic - I would certainly NOT use yet another Doors song for the same snake question on the basis that "Jim Morrison was into snakes, so "L.A. Woman" is a good clue".<br />
<br />
It's okay for your clue to not be blindingly obvious, especially for one-word answers. In most instances, it's no fun to be handed the answer. Often a song that has a clue that requires a bit of thinking is your best bet:<br />
<br />
Question: While Americans are notorious for not being able to carry a tune, Dave Barry noticed that we all seem to be able to do at least one thing on key. What is it? <br />
<br />
Answer: Chant "Airball" (in the key of F).<br />
<br />
Song: "Brick" by the Ben Folds 5<br />
<br />
<br />
And, if you can combine that puzzler with bad taste, go for it:<br />
<br />
Question: According to Wayne Campbell, what should you do if you see a woman who is so pretty that it makes you want to hurl, and why?<br />
<br />
Answer: "Hurl. If you spew, and she comes back, she's yours. But if you blow chunks and she bolts, it was never meant to be, man."<br />
<br />
Song: "Let It Loose" by the Rolling Stones<br />
<br />
<br />
Question: Between prank calls on Comedy Central's "Crank Yankers," the camera pans through the town of Yankerville, revealing weird signs and activities. One billboard advertises the All-Virgin Brothel. What is this fine establishment's slogan?<br />
<br />
Answer: "You Buy It, You Break It."<br />
<br />
Song: "Just a Gigolo" by Dick Hyman<br />
<br />
<br />
And a clue embedded in the song or artist name that requires actual Trivia knowledge to get the needed hint is ALWAYS a good idea...<br />
<br />
Question: In 2002, the Swingline stapler company debuted the "Rio Red" model. What prompted this release?<br />
<br />
Answer: Demand from fans of the movie "Office Space". (In recent years, Swingline had not offered a red stapler model.) <br />
<br />
Song: "Grits Ain't Groceries" by Little Milton<br />
<br />
<br />
Variety is the spice of Trivial life. Try to use as many styles, genres, and generations of musical breadth as you can. One easy, and good, way to do this is to let all the team members have a shot at the music matches. Twenty people looking at something will give you a much better shot at the interesting match that even two music mavens would have overlooked, as happened with this question from 2003:<br />
<br />
Question: Who is the proofreader in "Dilbert"?<br />
<br />
Answer: Anne L. Retentive.<br />
<br />
Song: "Tighten Up" by Archie Bell & the Drells<br />
<br />
<br />
Another good goal to shoot for is the "double match", in which the song and/or artist contain TWO useful clues to the Trivia answer. These are tough to write, but rewarding when successful:<br />
<br />
Question: What was atypical about the opening credits for last year's "Daredevil"?<br />
<br />
Answer: They were in both English and Braille.<br />
<br />
Song: "Fingertips" by Stevie Wonder<br />
<br />
<br />
Question: What is the unique literary accomplishment of the Star Trek novelization "The Brave and the Bold"?<br />
<br />
Answer: It includes characters from all 5 "Star Trek" TV series.<br />
<br />
Song: "Stay Together" by N.E.R.D.<br />
<br />
<br />
And, once in a great while, a triple match may come along:<br />
<br />
Question: The Razzies have long been the anti-Oscars of the film industry, dishonoring the worst movies and stars of the year. Who are the only two Razzie winners to actually show up at the ceremony to collect their awards in person?<br />
<br />
Answer: Paul Verhoeven, Worst Director of 1995 for "Showgirls"; Tom Green, who won 4 Razzies in 2001 for "Freddy Got Fingered."<br />
<br />
Song: "Come and Get It" by Badfinger<br />
<br />
<br />
One good Trivia song category is that of songs that people know, but can't quite place. Songs that have been used recently that fit this criteria include "Are You Ready For This" by 2 Unlimited, which fits the bill because it's only played at EVERY arena event in the country; and this one, which was frequently played on a GAP commercial...<br />
<br />
Question: Other than their being fictional, what is the common link between the following characters: Lisa Simpson, Ellie Arroway from "Contact", Frasier Crane's son Frederick, and The Blue Power Ranger?<br />
<br />
Answer: They are all members of MENSA.<br />
<br />
Song: "Start the Commotion" by the Wiseguys<br />
<br />
<br />
One final point: It doesn't matter HOW clever your song match turns out, if you can't GET the darn song! One way to avoid this is to back into the match, by thinking of a keyword from the question, and typing that word into the search engine of the (legal, of course) music resource that you are using. That way, you actually have a shot of finding that great, horrible, or otherwise suitable song that will help to make your contest one that people remember fondly.<br />
<br />
Matchfully yours,<br />
Steve Homer, 2004<br />
<br />
=== Opinions Vary ===<br />
<br />
Rachel, May 18, 2005:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>"I've always thought that a perfect song match is one which<br />
relates to the question but doesn't make the answer obvious. I'm willing<br />
to use a song that gives away the answer if it's a really funny pairing,<br />
or if the song is just too fantastic to resist (often, for me, that<br />
means it's a wacky cover, or something truly geektastic) but my<br />
preference is to go for songs that relate to the question but keep the<br />
answer obscured.<br />
<br />
Then again, I don't think it's a hard-and-fast rule."</blockquote><br />
<br />
Laura, May 18, 2005:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>"It can be rather annoying to start<br />
googling for an answer and realize just as you're about to figure it<br />
out that the song gives it away anyway..."</blockquote><br />
<br />
Sandy, May 18, 2005:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>"The music wins you a separate point for a reason. It shouldn't be an automatic two points when you call in.<br />
<br />
The way I learned it (and I've now run my fifth contest and selected music for four of them), a song should be related to the question but never hand you the answer -- except maybe if the question is really obscure without a strong hint, or it's just too funny a match to resist.<br />
<br />
I expect this is one of those aesthetics-of-Trivia things that give each team its own style."</blockquote></div>06djlhttps://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Trivia_Bonus_Guide&diff=6884Trivia Bonus Guide2006-01-24T22:10:36Z<p>06djl: </p>
<hr />
<div>It is standard practice in recent years that an hour bonus should have 40-60 questions, though some contests have strove to increase or decrease that number. There has been greater variance on supers, with the numbers of questions ranging from 100 to over 300. The better-received supers tend to have around 125-175 or so.<br />
<br />
Be sure to cover a variety of different genres of popular and high culture in your bonii. In particular, you should certainly cover television, film, and popular music. Once upon a time, it was traditional to have a sports bonus, but as the people winning contests have known less and less about sports, this tendency has almost vanished. Other topics that are often covered by either entire bonii or parts of bonii are games, fine arts, literature, history, and the sciences.<br />
<br />
====Audio Bonii====<br />
<br />
An audio hour bonus should be composed of 40-60 song clips on some kind of theme, of your choosing. A theme can either be related to similar lyrics, similar instrumentation, or the relation of a narrative (e.g., The Wizard of Oz audio). The length of clips can be variable, but try to have each clip last a second or two; a series of half-second clips is usually unidentifiable by anyone.<br />
<br />
While every audio bonus will bear the fingerprints of the creator(s), attempt to have a range of music for varying tastes. Make sure you have a distribution of popular music representing each of the last six decades, though you should emphasize the music of the last 15 years. Be sure to cover classic/current pop, rock, R&B, hip-hop, country, indie/alt., and singer-songwriter folk. <br />
<br />
There are traditionally two audio bonii. However, if you have a non-audio music bonus or if you have an audio super-bonus, you may wish to reduce this number. Likewise, it can be increased if one audio bonus is something non-musical. For that matter, you don't have to have one at all if you don't feel like it.<br />
<br />
Audacity is a particularly good tool for assembling audio bonii.<br />
<br />
====Visual Bonii====<br />
<br />
While not as sacred as audio bonii, the majority of recent contests have had visual bonii of some kind. These usually represent television, film, and fine arts, but are not limited to these.<br />
<br />
There are three major types of visual bonii. The first requires taking a group of separate pictures and individually asking questions about each, typically basic identification of the source. A recent example is the Movie Stills bonus.<br />
<br />
The second is the collage. This involves creatively integrating the visuals into one, and having teams identify the component pieces. A recent example is the Animation bonus.<br />
<br />
The third is the video. This is similar to the audio bonus, but with video clips. Since it can be freeze-framed, there is less of an impetus to keep the video clips long, but clips of less than half a second are still irritating to identify. This is the most difficult and rarest type of visual bonus. The DVD "Just Say No" bonus (composed by ripping DVD chapters with AoA DVD Ripper and editing them with Blaze Media Pro) is a recent example.</div>06djlhttps://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Trivia_Bonus_Guide&diff=6883Trivia Bonus Guide2006-01-24T21:45:39Z<p>06djl: </p>

<hr />
<div>= GENERAL TIPS =<br />
<br />
==The Trivia Intro==<br />
*Many teams opt to begin the contest with some kind of "intro," usually scripted and often pre-recorded. Sometimes the intro relates to the team's name (and the pop culture source from which it was drawn), though not always.<br />
*Two fairly high-production-value intros can be found here: [http://wso.williams.edu/orgs/trivia/vampires/intro.mp3 Neutered Vampires Who Cheat at Kitten Poker] and here: [http://velveteenrabbi.com/DiplomaticImmunityIntro.mp3 Diplomatic Immunity]<br />
<br />
== Tips for Preparing to Run Trivia ==<br />
* Have at least a dozen people. If you don't have enough, ask for help on the Trivia list &mdash; people will probably step up.<br />
* [[Goodrich Hall]] is a good Trivia HQ. Following the link to the Goodrich Hall wiki yields some useful forms and information for scheduling and using the space.<br />
* Get the phone board from whoever has it. As of Spring 2005, that's Paul Stansifer. There are two jacks for it in the floor of the office on the second floor of Goodrich, under the big table near the windows.<br />
* You'll need to supply your own (plug-in, standard) phones for the phone board, so ask your friends if you can borrow theirs overnight. There are jacks for 7 phones on the phone board (though many of them may not work), and it's recommended you use them all, in addition to whatever cell phones with free night minutes your team has handy.<br />
* Wireless Internet is available at Goodrich. You need a student or other Williams affiliate to log in for you, but once logged in, you're golden.<br />
* Check that Security knows you'll be using Goodrich so they can turn off the card-reader for the evening. Do this a couple of times in case your contact gets lost in the paperwork.<br />
* Scout out Goodrich for alternate entrances. During set-up for Spring 2005, Deine Mutter was hampered by the organizers of a hip hop dance show. The organizers had the front door locked, which made it challenging for us to get our setup equipment into Goodrich on our schedule. Luckily, we found an alternate way in.<br />
* It would be a good idea to check with the Phones people and the Network and Systems people at OIT to make sure the phones are set up correctly and that the network is setup to handle the load from streaming WCFM off-campus. Do this a couple of times too.<br />
* Have the folks on your team who own cellphones (ideally, cellphones with free/unlimited night and weekend minutes) bring them, so if ports on the phoneboard die, you can replace the call-in numbers with people's cellphone numbers.<br />
* Have your team geek(s) subscribe to the Trivia-tech list and ask if there have been any major developments you should know about. There has been talk recently (2005) of setting up backup streaming servers and hosting shows off WCFM. There are challenges to be overcome, but it's possible progress has been made. See the [[Williams Trivia]] main wiki page for more information.<br />
<br />
== Information Helpful to Know During the Event ==<br />
* You can use AIM to keep in touch with WCFM (AIM ID: requests4wcfm).<br />
* If you use the [[Trivia Software Info | Trivia Application Software]], you will probably want two computers available for input of on-air scores as well as for input of boni answers submitted on paper. Locate these, if possible, near the phones in the 2nd floor.<br />
* Bring extension cords and power strips. Outlets in the office in Goodrich on the second floor are not very convenient or numerous.<br />
* You'll probably want an additional 1 or 2 computers available for scoring electronically submitted boni. Come to Goodrich early to make sure the computers on the first floor are working with your application. You can use some of these for scoring boni.<br />
* Allow yet another computer for coordinating communication with WCFM and with remote team members. Locate this near the phone board also, if possible.<br />
* Bring a radio to tune into the WCFM broadcast from headquarters so you can be sure the DJs are staying on track with the program/so you can be sure your CDs are working out as planned (sometimes tracks get mixed up during preprations, so you'll want to be able to monitor the situation and improvise as quickly as possible in case of trouble).<br />
* Use remote team members for AIM on-air hints and scoring input. Later, they can participate in scoring electronically submitted boni.<br />
<br />
== Helpful Tools ==<br />
* [http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ Audacity] is a free, open source audio editing tool that you can use for things like trimming songs down to a reasonable length (2:00 - 4:30 minutes is usually about right) and to do other sound editing jobs. It's available on many different platforms (OS9/OSX, Windows, Linux/Unix). You may need to locate the LAME encoder DLL if you choose to run it on Windows and want to export your edits to an MP3 file, but that's pretty easily done.<br />
* [http://www.ceruleanstudios.com/learn/ Trillian Basic] is a good Windows client for multiple IM networks, including AIM. It's free too.</div>06djlhttps://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Trivia_Scoring_Guide&diff=6879Trivia Scoring Guide2006-01-24T21:41:04Z<p>06djl: </p>

<div>== Williams Trivia Scoring Guide ==<br />
=== Introduction ===<br />
Here is the standard template of scoring values for a Williams Trivia contest. <br />
<br />
Running teams have always been free to amend and improvise, but should not do so capriciously. Many scoring changes have been announced or discussed first on the Trivia listserver.<br />
<br />
=== Bonus Types and Recommended Maximum Scores ===<br />
The usual schedule for a Trivia Contest is the following:<br />
{| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=5 width=100%<br />
!Bonus Type<br />
!Schedule<br />
!Notes<br />
|----<br />
|On-Airs<br />
|One question per song<br />
|ID Song and Artist for one point. Answer question for another (possibly 2) point(s)<br />
|----<br />
|Hour Boni<br />
|Every hour, on the hour, due in an hour (i.e. 1st is released at 12:00 midnight, and due at 1:00 a.m.)<br />
|See below for scoring.<br />
|----<br />
|Super Boni<br />
|Every four hours, on the hour, due in 4 hours (i.e. 1st is released at 12:00 midnight, and due at 4:00 a.m.)<br />
|See below for scoring.<br />
|----<br />
|Ultra Bonus<br />
|Reveal 3 more clues every hour, on the hour.<br />
|See below for scoring. The sooner the team guesses the topic, the higher their score.<br />
|----<br />
|Actions<br />
|Every hour, on the half hour, due in an hour (i.e. 1st is released at 12:30 a.m., performance is due at 1:30 a.m.)<br />
|See below for scoring.<br />

|4:00 a.m. Challenge<br />
|Reveal for the 4:00 a.m. break.<br />
|See below for scoring.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==== On-Airs (Single Songs and Trivia Questions) ====<br />
On-air songs-- 1 point apiece. This means title and artist.<br />
<br />
On-air questions-- 1 point apiece. <br />
<br />
"Three-point plays"-- Occasionally there are two-part trivia questions, or questions with multiple answers (i.e. name all seven Dwarves). In such a case, 1 point might be awarded to teams naming any 4 of the dwarves, with an additional 2nd point for naming all seven.<br />
<br />
==== Boni ====<br />
Bonuses are sometimes scored on a two-tier scale. One scale offers the possibility of more points for teams that do not use the internet to research answers; other resources (books, phone calls to experts, etc.) are still encouraged. Teams indicate which scoring option they have elected to submit the bonus under. If the running team elects to use this sliding scale, this decision should be clearly communicated on bonus submission sheets.<br />
<br />
Hour Bonuses-- 10 points for teams using the internet; 15 points without.<br />
<br />
Super Bonuses-- 25 points for teams using the internet; 40 points without. A 20/25 scale may have been used in May 2005.<br />
<br />
Ultra Bonus-- Scored on a downward sliding scale; worth less and less as the night continues and more clues are revealed. Point values have varied, though the highest possible score is typically 8 or 10 points. In May 2005, the Ultra Bonus was scored on a 16-14-12-10-8-6-4-2 scale.<br />
<br />
==== Other Scoring Opportunities ====<br />
Action Trivia-- 6 points apiece, after having long stood at 5. 3 points are awarded based on demonstration of trivia knowledge, and 3 are awared based on creativity, enthusiasm, props, costumes, nudity, etc. A 7 was awared to Dan Bahls for one performance in May 2004 before being reduced to a 6 by [[Dave Letzler '06]] in an attempt to avoid a messy precedent. <br />
<br />
4:00 AM challenge-- Point values vary depending on circumstance. The top score has typically been in the 3-point range.</div>06djlhttps://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Dave_Letzler&diff=6877Dave Letzler2006-01-24T21:32:43Z<p>06djl: </p>
<hr />
<div>Dave Letzler '06 (also known as "David" to his family and significant other, Katherine Bram '08 of [[Brandeis University]]) is a senior residing in [[Fitch]]. He hails from Baldwin, NY, a town on Long Island. He's a prominent member of a number of campus organizations, including [[College Bowl]], [[Williams Trivia]], [[Elizabethans]], [[Chess Club]], [[Bridge]], the [[Literary Review]], and at times the Williams [[Democrats]]. He has also been a member of [[Deviants]] for the past three years.<br />
<br />
== College Bowl Career Highlights ==<br />
Team captain for the past three years, Letzler has been the dominant player on the team for pop culture throughout his whole career, thus making him their best [[TRASH]] player. He's probably been the strongest all-around literature player during that time, though [[David Rosenblum '03]] had more depth in many areas at the start of his career, and [[David Mathias '08]] has, at times, demonstrated superior breadth. He's otherwise a solid generalist, excepting the applied sciences.<br />
<br />
As a freshman, Letzler played in five tournaments in the 2002-2003 competition year. The first was [[TRASH]] Regionals at BU, where he led a small team in scoring and a 4-9 record against the steep and crusty competition, correctly answering questions about the Man Show Juggies, Pussy Galore, Tiffany's appearance in Playboy, and Shaft in Africa. He played a supporting role in Williams's 3rd-place finish in BU's [[Puppy Chow]] tournament, behind Harvard and Yale, and during the team's poor performance at [[Penn Bowl]], he managed to get a game-winning tossup on the Mustang Ranch. He, [[Daniel Klein '06]], and [[Evan Bick '06]] each placed in the top ten in scoring at [[NAQT]] Sectionals in February, earning a Division II Nationals berth. As Bick was unable to attend that tournament, Klein and Letzler joined captain Rosenblum at Nationals, where they came in 26th of 32 teams.<br />
<br />
With the departure of leading scorer Rosenblum, Letzler took over effective control of the team his sophomore year. The team only attended four tournaments, coming in a disappointing 5th at Puppy Chow, with Letzler leading the team in scoring, before having a surprising 10th-place finish in a 50-team field at that year's [[Penn Bowl]] with a short-handed team also including Klein and [[Brian Hirshman '06]], defeating [[MIT]] and [[Brandeis University]], the latter through a fortuitous sequence of events involving the double-slit experiment and Will Smith. However, the team was steadily beaten at NAQT Regionals that year, and despite high scores from Bick, Letzler, and Klein at [[CBI]] Regionals, the team only came in third.<br />
<br />
2004-2005 saw an upturn in the team's fortunes. With Letzler returning as captain, the team picked up a number of committed freshmen. Letzler, teamed with [[Brian Munroe '07]] came in fourth at Brandeis's Junior Bird, and led a team including Hirshman, [[Christopher Paci '08]], and [[Jason Kohn '08]] to a second-place finish at Harvard's COTKU Mirror. Letzler won his first neg prize at [[TRASH]] Regionals, though he finished second in playoff scoring. Playing with leading scorer Mathias, Munroe, and Hirshman, Letzler captained the team to a sixth-place finish at Yale's [[Bulldogs Over Broadway]], tragically forgetting John Foster Dulles's first name in a loss to [[Rutgers-Newark]], and forgetting the Ottoman Emperor Selim in a loss to [[Columbia]]. After captaining the team to a fifth-place finish at that year's [[Penn Bowl]] (after having stayed up the previous night to play [[Williams Trivia]] as the second-place remote team Penn15), a team composed of Mathias, Klein, Letzler, and Hirshman qualified for [[NAQT]] Nationals in Division I and won [[CBI]] Regionals, where Letzler placed second in scoring overall, his best individual performance to date. His teams finished 19th of 32 at [[NAQT]] Nationals and 7th of 16 at [[CBI]] Nationals.<br />
<br />
In 2005-2006, Letzler, with Paci and Bick, finished 4th at Brandeis's Heinrich Boll mirror, placing in the top ten in scoring. He also captained a team including Mathias and [[Zachary Thomas '08]] to a victory at Harvard's mirror of WIT, captained a team with Thomas, Hirshman, and [[Allison Smith '07]] to victory at the MLK mirror, and one with Thomas, Paci, and Hirshman to a second-place finish at ACF Fall, in which the team beat Harvard's A team twice (their only losses in the tournament). Most notably, he revived the team's annual TRASH tournament, [[Lemur Bowl]], in late October, which he directed and edited.<br />
<br />
== Trivia Highlights ==<br />
As a freshman, Letzler formed the [[Williams Trivia]] team "Mortal Kombat Intelligence Skwad," including [[Laura Effinger-Dean '06]], [[Rachel S. Selinsky '06]], [[Samuel Clapp '06]], and [[Benjamin Cohen '06]]. This team came in fifth, and won the Frosh team prize, as they did the next semester as "Mortal Kumquat," where they finished third. Merging with remnants of the Part IV and Trotsky victors, they became "Mortal Wombat" and won the contest in January '04, running a well-received contest that May (though it was beset by some techinical problems and the need to write a last-minute Hour Bonus). The next semester, he and the College Bowl team played as Penn15 from a freshman dorm in UPenn, along with a friend of [[Max Gutman '08]] who lived there, taking a surprise second-place finish. The following semester, remnants of Wombat and Penn15 merged to form "Gratuitous Use of the World 'Belgium'", winners of that semester's contest.<br />
<br />
In addition to writing roughly a third of the on-air questions used in the Mortal Wombat contest, Letzler was responsible for organizing the mini-audios of "Movie Music" and "Video Game Music" from the Wombat contest, assembled by Effinger-Dean, as well as writing the "Pi" Audio. He was also a prime contributor to that contest's "Animation," "Music," and "76" bonuses.<br />
<br />
For the "Belgium" contest, Letzler was the primary writer and assembler of the "Hello/Goodbye" audio and the "Just Say No" video bonus, as well as providing assembly services for a classical audio. He was the main writer and assembler of the "Sheep" bonus as well as the helming the team effort on the "TV" super.</div>06djlhttps://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php?title=College_Bowl&diff=6874College Bowl2006-01-24T21:28:49Z<p>06djl: </p>
<hr />
<div>College Bowl is the varsity sport for people who have too many factoids lodged in their brains. It's sort of like Jeopardy, except with teams and more random exclamations of excitement, woe, or unfathomable lust for the character of Elmer Gantry.<br />

== Williams Trivia ==<br />
<br />
If you're reading this, you might also be interested in a little thing called [[Williams Trivia]], which, while being nothing at all like College Bowl, also involves teams and dislogding long-forgotten factoids from one's brain...just with more caffeine, music, and semi-naked people.</div>06djlhttps://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Winter_Study&diff=6657Winter Study2006-01-10T03:44:27Z<p>06djl: </p>
<hr />
<div>Winter Study is the span of weeks between the two semesters at Williams. The courses offered during winter study may seem silly and frivolous in comparison to the academic rigors of semesterly courses, but nothing could be further from the truth. Many people find that the freedom from the usual constraints allows them to study whatever strikes their fancy, with no concerns about getting credit towards a major or dropping GPA (not that you all care about that). Winter Study also frequently features courses that include trips [http://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php/Study_abroad abroad], which are highly popular.<br />
<br />
Winter Study for the 2005-2006 school year begins on '''Tuesday, January 3rd''' and ends on '''Thursday, January 26th'''. (Spring classes don't start until the following Wednesday, February 2nd.)<br />
<br />
==Outside of Class==<br />
<br />
You have a lot more free time during Winter Study because you're only taking one so-called class. Keep yourself busy; idle hands are the devil's tools, right?<br />
<br />
Get out side and play in the snow. If you don't you're pathetic. Go learn to ski or build snow people. You have a chance to enjoy winter in full at this time. Take advantage or you will turn into a white and pasty whale.<br />
<br />
The [[Free University]] is a collection of classes and activities taught and run entirely by students on any number of interesting things.<br />
<br />
Williams [[Trivia]] is a fun way to kill the second Friday night (and Saturday morning) of Winter Study.<br />
<br />
[[KAOS: Killing as Organized Sport]] is about paranoia, showering with a fake gun nearby and never sleeping in the same place twice. It's also totally awesome.<br />
<br />
The [[Williams Outing Club]] sponsors classes for many outdoor winter activities, such as sledding, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing, and also organizes rides to and lessons at downhill skiing mountains (primarily Jiminy Peak, no?). You pay a $10 bus fee for the regular classes and then go play in the snow for a couple of hours a few times a week, learning how to do the skill better, and in the case of sledding they even give you your very own sled that you get to keep. The downhill skiing is more expensive, but can include lessons and equipment rentals as well as transportation.<br />
<br />
[[Broomball]] is like ice hockey, but with shoes instead of skates, "brooms" instead of sticks, and a ball instead of a puck. So, essentially, all it has in common with ice hockey is the ice.<br />
<br />
It is a little-known fact that the main purpose of Winter Study is to [http://www.ephblog.com/archives/001491.html fall in love].<br />
<br />
However, falling in love with [[Media:Perl-crash-course.pdf|Perl]], or any other computer language for that matter, does not count. But Winter Study provides just about the right amount of time to do just that.<br />
<br />
==Registration==<br />
<br />
From an email sent to students:<br />
<br />
"The first phase of Winter Study registration in [http://sarah.williams.edu PeopleSoft]/SELFREG will take place Wednesday, 19 October, 9:00am, through Sunday, 23 October (closing at 8 a.m. Monday, 24 October). You will sign up for your FIRST CHOICE only at that time. IT IS NOT ON A FIRST COME/FIRST SERVED BASIS. For overenrolled courses, instructors make the selections."<br />
<br />
If you don't get into your first choice, you'll be notified and have another opportunity to submit a selection.<br />

<div>Obviously, [[Schow Science Library|Schow]] and [[Sawyer Library|Sawyer]] are the best places to find books on campus. You can even search their [http://francis.williams.edu online catalog] without putting on pants. But it gets pretty chilly around Williamstown, and sometimes it'd be nice if you knew that someone in your dorm owned a book you were looking for so you didn't have to put on 8 layers of clothes and brave the cold. Here are books owned by people who are willing to share them, and their locations. '''Feel free to list your own, and put new entries at the top of the list.'''<br />

<div>[[Jono Dowse '06|Jono]] reads an unholy quantity of webcomics and wanted to spread this curse of hilarity across campus and beyond, so he started this list. You can eat a lot of time by reading the complete archives of most of these comics.<br />
<br />
First, there are several webcomics groups out there that you can use as a jumping-off point. For example: [http://www.boxcarcomics.com/ Boxcar Comics], [http://www.dayfreepress.com/ Dayfree Press], [http://www.blanklabelcomics.com/ Blank Label Comics]. Of course, there's always [http://ucomics.com ucomics.com] and [http://www.comics.com comics.com].<br />
<br />
==Webcomics==<br />
plus when they update; '''h''' means especially hilarious (at least to Jono). Ones not marked with '''h''' are not, however, inferior; often they are more focused on storytelling or just are incredibly well drawn. I don't read bad webcomics. Feel free to add your own faves here.<br />
