<div>[[Category:Groups]]<br />
The Williams College Moocho Macho Moocow Marching Band is composed of roughly 25-30 musicians who meet semi-weekly each fall in preparation for weekly home and/or away [[football]] games. These musicians have varying musical abilities and experiences allowing fledgling musicians the opportunity to play alongside and learn from those with more experience, which bridges the gap between the novice and other Williams [[music]] organizations. Although marching bands at other schools are limited to wind instrumentalists, the Williams Band honors equal opportunity and welcomes all instruments, such as violin and string bass, and even features vocalists in the plastic section, kazoos. Each week, under the direction of two caped student leaders, the Williams Band parades down [[Spring Street]] carrying with them the Williams Competitive Spirit to all home football games, opens the game with the Star Spangled Banner, performs an original [[halftime show]] and intersperses witty cheers along with rousing melodies throughout the game. Overall, the Williams Band prides itself in enthusiasm and musicianship while '''HAVING FUN!'''<br />

==[http://wso.williams.edu/~aramos/bandhistory/preface.shtml Band Mythology]==<br />
===Conditions before the Band came to be===<br />
In the beginning, there was no band at Williams. The school's few students, too dispirited to wander outside into the shoulder-high drifts, huddled around the dull fires that smoldered in [[West College]]'s fireplaces. They suffered from malnutrition; no one had invented an ID-[[card reader]], and the students could not use their [[dinner points]]. The creatures of darkness scratched at West College's thin brick walls. In the cellar, Elijah.I.Berman struggled to set up [[Colrain]].<br />
===Emilus and Magilus===<br />
One snow-covered winter, a Priestess of the Order of Ephiram gave birth to twins, who eventually came to be known as Emilus and Magilus. The people of Williams were horrified, for the Pristesses of Ephiram had vowed to remain chaste. The [[President]] of the College, perhaps attempting to hide evidence of his involvement, ordered a few fellows from [[Buildings and Grounds|B&G]] to throw the twins into the [[Hoosic River]], which was then in flood. However, the men were afraid, and they left Emilus and Magilus in the shallows of the flooded fields that bordered the main channel. The waters quickly receeded, and the babies were deposited on the drying ground.<br />
<br />
A [[purple cow]] came upon Emilus and Magilus, and suckled the two babies. A shepherd discovered the three, took the babies off to his rude hut, and raised them. The twins became quite musically proficent. Emilus even learned to play the viola, but she set it aside in favor of the kazoo because she wanted more respect.<br />
===The early years of the Band===<br />
Emilus and Magilus attracted much attention as they wandered about Williamstown, tending their sheep. One fine April day, with Zepherus blowing softly and flowers budding all about the countryside, the twins were watching their flock just above the [[hairpin curve|Hairpin Curve]]. They spotted a raiding party from [[Amherst]] swarming down the road. (The warriors hoped to steal a card catalog so that they could find books in their library -- a collection which they had taken from Williams.) Emilus and Magilus drove their flock into the road; the knot of sheep delayed the raiders while the twins hurried off to warn Williamstown. Today, the cult of the [[Elizabethans]] honors the brave sheep.<br />
<br />
The President of the College realized that he needed to defend his tranquil realm. Acting with great wisdom, he formed the Williams Band, a group which would protect the College using such fearsome weapons as Sousaphones, piccolos, and snare drums. He placed Emilus and Magilus in command of this organization. The twins won many victories and made the Band feared throughout the NESCAC.<br />
===[[Mr. C]] arrives===<br />
Many years later, Emilus and Magilus wandered off to the west, where they settled, and founded a small clan. They left the Band under the capable leadership of the legendary Mr. C. "Tough as an armadillo," Mr. C proved to be an outstanding Band Director, with a mind honed by many years of paddleball and [[golf]]. The other bands in the NESCAC shriveled and disappeared, having been repeatedly humiliated by Williams. Under student leader Moody, the [[Wesleyan]] Band put up a tremendous resistance; it fell after Moody graduated. Williams Band gained a hegemony over the conference, and has won the New England Division III Marching Band Championship for thirty-six consecutive years.</div>06nsyhttps://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Climate_Initiative&diff=5574Climate Initiative2005-11-22T20:18:06Z<p>06nsy: /* Signatures */</p>

<div>== The Williams College Climate Initiative ==<br />
<br />
Climate change is a preeminent challenge of our time. Its effects will be felt throughout the world for generations to come. Williamstown, the state of Massachusetts, and peer institutions have already set targets for greenhouse gas emission reductions. As one of the nation’s foremost institutions of higher learning, Williams College has an obligation to lead by example. '''In signing this petition, we call upon President Schapiro and the Board of Trustees to adopt a Climate Action Plan that would ensure a 10% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions by 2010, and a 20% reduction by 2015.''' The Plan would entail compiling an updated, comprehensive carbon emission inventory, laying out a framework and timeline to achieve our reduction targets, and hiring a Campus Sustainability Coordinator to facilitate the Climate Action Plan and all future sustainability projects.<br />
<br />
Sincerely,<br />
<br />
The undersigned.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Background information:'''<br />
* Williams College is responsible for emitting 34,700 tons of carbon dioxide per year, a quarter of Williamstown’s total emissions. This is approximately 11.5 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per person at Williams College.<br />
<br />
* More than 37 colleges and universities have set an example by meeting or beating the Kyoto Protocol agreement for emissions reductions. <br />
<br />
* Williamstown has already adopted a climate action plan to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 10% percent by 2010. Williams College is a member of this community and an integral part of the town’s plan.<br />
<br />
* Natural variability alone cannot account for the recent changes in global climate. Scientific models can explain climate changes in the last 50 years only by taking into account greenhouse gas emissions attributable to humans. <br />
