The Snack Bar is open from 8 a.m. to 2 a.m. on Monday through Saturday, and from 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. on Sunday.<br />

Dodd is known for having the most "homey" feel of any dining hall, since it serves the fewest customers at each meal and began life as the dining room of the old [[Williams Inn]], before the college acquired the building and the Inn moved to its current location. Dodd is also known for its friendly staff and superior Sunday brunch fare. The dining hall is especially convenient for those living in [[Dodd House]].<br />
<br />
Dodd used to be known for Sunday Kids' Food Nights, but Greylock has taken on Kids' Food Night starting in 2008. Indian Night has since become Dodd's signature 'theme night,' held Tuesdays. <br />

Students, alumni, and faculty at Williams college are issued a '''Unix ID''' by the [[Office for Information Technology]]. The Unix ID is a person's unique and concise login name used to access services such as:<br />
* [[Email]]<br />
* [[Novell NetWare]]<br />
* [[PaperCut]]<br />
* [[Blackboard]]<br />
* [[Unix]]<br />
* Willipedia<br />
* the [[WSO]] site<br />
* [[Daily Messages]]<br />
* pretty much everything that's not [[PeopleSoft]]<br />
<br />
'''Undergraduate''' Unix IDs of the class of 2011 or later and grad students' Unix IDs for those entering Williams in Fall 2007 consist of the student's initials followed by a number. Example: ABC3.<br />
<br />
For an '''undergraduate''' of the class of 2010 or earlier, the Unix ID begins with the last two digits of his graduation year, followed by his initials. In cases where two or more students from the same year have the same initials, the ID is suffixed by an [[#Underscores|underscore]] followed by a number. Example: 09ABC.<br />
<br />
'''Faculty''' Unix IDs are the first letter of the first name followed by up to 7 letters of the surname. Example: EWILLIAM.<br />
<br />
'''Graduate students''' Unix IDs registered before Fall 2007 begin with "g", followed by the last two digits of the graduation year, followed by the initials Example: G07ABC.<br />
<br />
'''Guests''' (such as students from other colleges who come here for [[SMALL]]) have Unix IDs such as "guest11." Students in the '''[[Williams-Mystic Program]]''' have Unix IDs that begin with "wm" followed by the student's initials, but this ID is literally never used. '''High school students''' taking Williams classes are given IDs beginning with "sh" followed by the student's initials. <br />
<br />
Everyone with a Unix ID automatically gets a [[public folder]] which stores up to 127 MB of files on the network.<br />
<br />
== Underscores ==<br />

<div>[[Category:Guides]] [[Category:Dining]]<br />
Coffee is a part of life for many Williams students. Fortunately, there are many places to go for a cup of joe.<br />
<br />
Remember to be cool and eco-friendly: use a [[CUPPS cup]] or other reusable vessel.<br />
<br />
==A Perfect Blend==<br />
<br />
BURNED DOWN<br />
<br />
Located down Spring Street next to Subway (where the old coffee shop was). It is half coffee shop, half art framing shop. It has a great atmosphere and excited owner. It opened on October 27, 2006 so not much is known about it, but despite the $8 sandwiches, so far the coffee is tasty and the seats in front of the window are great for people watching.<br />
<br />
APB has more ambience than TC with the consequence of not having very good for doing hours of reading, but the deliciousness of the organic French Roast (and their pumpkin muffins!) make it worth the visit.<br />
<br />
A Perfect Blend suffered the same firey fate as Subway and the Pub.<br />
<br />
== EcoCafe ==<br />
<br />
Small: $1.00, Large: $1.25<br />
<br />
Located in Schow Atrium. Dean's Beans coffee, usually well roasted, but very weakly brewed. The best choice around for reasonably priced organic coffee, but it unfortunately closes too early in the day to be of much use to many students.<br />
<br />
Fortunately, the ladies that work there are really nice. Ask Karen about her daughter.<br />
<br />
== Tunnel City Coffee ==<br />
<br />
16 oz: $1.90<br />
<br />
Strong (some have said 'acidic') but refreshingly bold. You don't need to drink endless cups to get your fix, just a small cup is satisfying.<br />
<br />
If you have a coffee maker, save money by brewing your own black stuff from their excellent beans. While not all blends are organic or fair-trade, the beans are roasted locally at Tunnel City's location in North Adams.<br />
<br />
More expensive (but worth it!) are the espresso drinks. Tunnel City definitely holds its own against good indie shops in the Outside World.<br />
<br />
100 Spring St.<br />
The B&L Building<br />
Williamstown, MA<br />
(413) 458-5010<br />
<br />
== Dining Halls ==<br />
<br />
All you can drink, in any of the [[dining hall]]s.<br />
<br />
Dean's Beans coffee, sometimes a bit diluted (especially in [[Dodd Dining Hall|Dodd]].) Plus the cups are tiny, bring your own mug.<br />
<br />
== Goodrich Coffee Bar ==<br />
<br />
CLOSED DUE TO LACK OF FLOOR<br />
<br />
Small = $1.25, Large = $1.50 <br />
<br />
GCB carries Dean's Beans coffee.<br />
They have nutmeg you can put in your coffee! Be warned, however, that the quality of the actual coffee has been poor to horrendous as of late.<br />
While the coffee isn't great, the lattes are fantastic (and probably have more caffeine)!<br />
<br />
If there is "extreme caffeine" go for it, it's amazing.<br />
<br />
And one of their new [[Goodrich Combo Meals]] lets you get two nantucket nectars and a bagel with cream cheese for $4.25 of breakfast equivalency.<br />
<br />
== Dunkin' Donuts ==<br />
<br />
Coffee that is absolutely delicious, reasonably priced and conveniently available at all hours of the day, or horrible-tasting, not worth the money, and too far away - depending on whom you ask. The Williamstown location, open from 5am to 10 pm, is near Colonial Plaza, which is either a bit of a walk or a short drive. The North Adams location, at the intersection of Rt. 2 and Eagle St., is open 24/7. Now accepting credit and debit cards in addition to cash.<br />
<br />
== Papa Charlie's Deli ==<br />
<br />
Don't drink the "Shock" extreme caffeine coffee. it tastes awful.<br />
Also, don't expect their deliciously named coffees to taste how they smell - such as browny toffee, or tasty delicious mcdeliciousness.<br />
<br />
== Brewhaha ==<br />
<br />
Located in North Adams near MassMoCA (coincidence?). Excellent toasted muffins. Closed Wednesday.<br />
http://www.cafebrewhaha.com<br />
<br />
20 Marshall St.<br />
North Adams, MA 01247<br />
(413) 664-2020<br />
<br />
== Cup and Saucer ==<br />
<br />
Another great North Adams coffee shop--right around the corner from Brewhaha in the building where Gideon's used to be. Large, funky, nice people, good muffins and sandwitches, free wireless internet. A great place to write a paper if you're sick of the library and have a car.<br />
<br />
67 Main St<br />
North Adams, MA 01247<br />
(413) 664-4225<br />
<br />
<br />
== South Street Cafe ==<br />
<br />
A bit of a drive, but who doesn't need their Vermont fix every once in a while? Located off of Rte. 7 in Bennington. The coffee is actually Tunnel City, but the ceiling is gorgeous, the atmosphere comfortable, and the crowd composed of strangers.<br />
<br />
105 South St.<br />
Bennington, VT<br />
(802) 447-2433<br />
<br />
==Harper House==<br />
<br />
54 Stetson Court, totally free, and you get to use the amazing and magical machine. Coffee by Green Mountain. It helps, but is not necessary, that you be a philosophy student.<br />
<br />
==Physics Common Room==<br />
<br />
Powdered instant coffee mix for an honor system 10 cents. For emergency use only.<br />
<br />
==Chemistry 155 with Professor Park==<br />
<br />
Powdered instant coffee mix for FREE (and hot chocolate!). You'll need it. Class is MWF 8:00 - 8:50am.<br />
<br />
==Turkish Coffee==<br />
<br />
Stronger, sweeter, and tastier than all of the above, but woefully unavailable at stores and coffee shops around here. It can be ordered through amazon or sultansdelight.com, which has a minimum order of $30 including S&H and doesn't necessarily send the brand you ordered. If you know of better sources, please record them for posterity!<br />
<br />
A Cheaper Way to Get Turkish Coffee:<br />
<br />
There is a website called Tulumba.com where you can get Turkish coffee with different brands. The shipping costs vary from $ 5.59 (delivery in 2-3 business days/Sat. delivery) to $ 21.80 (via UPS next day Air on Business days). The costs for different brands are: <br />
<br />
Mehmetefendi (8.8 oz/ 250 g) $ 8.39 (one of the best brands in Turkey)<br />
Tulumba.com (3.5 oz/ 100 g, 1 lb./ 500 g) $ 2.59, $ 8.39<br />
<br />
The website also tells you how to prepare Turkish coffee. Enjoy!</div>09awghttps://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Freshmonic&diff=17629Freshmonic2008-10-18T19:50:51Z<p>09awg: </p>
<hr />
<div>[[Category:Williamspeak]]<br />
The slang term ''freshmonic'' describes a student who is perceived to be over-eager, usually demonstrating this in the form of answering or asking more than his or her allotment of questions in class, especially in lecture-format classes. Though piping up in class too frequently, disturbing the peace of less interested coursemates, is probably the fastest way to earn the epithet, freshmonicness (freshmonia?) can probably also be attained through any eagerness that stands out from the more jaded steadiness of the post-first-year Williams masses -- by vigor in an organization, team, entry meeting, etc. As one might guess, freshmonic can be said as a mild dig or mild praise, but either way it is said with a small, knowing grin.<br />
<br />
''Freshmonic'' probably derives from the more widespread term ''sophomoric,'' which describes a person who behaves, especially by speaking, as though he were wiser than he really is. The word probably derives from an oxymoronic pairing of the Greek words ''sophos'' and ''moros'': wise and foolish. Over sophomoric, however, freshmonic has the added benefit of a resemblance to the word "demonic," and it may derive in part or entirely from this term.<br />
<br />
'''Usage:''' <br />
:"My God, that kid in the front row was asking, like, one question every slide in lecture today."<br />
:"Yeah, I know, totally freshmonic."<br />
<br />
The term has fallen out of use, relegated to the dustbin of outdated slang.</div>09awghttps://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Andrew_Goldston&diff=17628Andrew Goldston2008-10-18T19:44:09Z<p>09awg: </p>
<hr />
<div>=According to the Authorities=<br />
<br />
Andrew Goldston '09 used to be Andrew Goldston '08, but a freshman year injury led to a semester off, ensuring that for more than a year he would live in fear of the day his 08 login would be taken away, replaced by an 09 login. Then one day it happened, and he got over it.<br />
<br />
Goldston plays [[College Bowl]] and [[Williams Trivia]], and represents Dodd residents on [[College Council]]. He also knows all five identified members of the [[Deadly Ten]] '08s, and is friends with three of them. However, he added one of those three to the list.<br />
<br />
Goldston supports Liverpool FC.<br />

The above is the "official" story. According to [[Jeff Stenzel]] '10 and [[Chris Liguori]] '10, the following is more accurate:<br />
<br />
*Andrew Goldston was born in 1973 and currently has 8 children, 2 grandchildren, and 3 more grandchildren on the way. He graduated in 1995, but has been creepily hanging around campus ever since, because that's just the kind of guy he is. Irrefutable proof of his old age is his love of gin. <br />
<br />
*He also goes by the name Charlie.<br />
<br />
*He loves Manchester United more than anything else in the world.<br />
<br />
*He loves extension cords. He hates mexicans. And he is half-mexican. And he hates irony.</div>09awghttps://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Andrew_Goldston&diff=17627Andrew Goldston2008-10-18T19:42:58Z<p>09awg: </p>

Despite Williams' small size and the fact that everyone seems to know everyone, or is at least connected to them somehow, it remains a fact that it's impossible to know everyone. And there are some people that it REALLY seems impossible to know, for one reason or another.<br />

<div>[[Category:Games]][[Category:Tradition]]<br />
[[Image:Nerfwar.jpg|thumb|right|KAOS alums pose together in [[Bronfman Science Center|Bronfman]] during [[Homecoming]] 2007 after a few rounds similar to KAOS's [[#Endgame|final round]].]]<br />
A campus-wide game that takes place during Winter Study, Killing As Organized Sport (KAOS) is a proud Williams [[Category:Tradition|tradition]] (started by [[Danniel Arramini]] '84 and associates) that brings students closer together through the magic of paranoia, assassination, and psychological warfare.<br />
<br />
The basic idea of KAOS is simple. Each player receives a weapon and a target to hunt. Annoying constraints such as lawsuits and noise complaints from elderly Williamstown inhabitants prevent us from using actual firearms. These are replaced by silent, non-lethal plastic guns of dubious South-East Asian origin. In any case, each player is being hunted by another player. If you are killed by your hunter, you are out of the game. If you survive and make your kills, you live. Eventually, only one player remains.<br />
<br />
==The Game Begins (Almost)==<br />
<br />
Registration for KAOS occurs online, but, as with many things at a liberal arts college, if you show up to the weapons depository wanting to play, odds are "it's all good." <br />
<br />
Following registration, you will receive information for picking up weaponry (often in a lovely shade of orange for easy findability) as well as information regarding your first target and the rules of the game.<br />
<br />
==The Game Begins (Actually)==<br />
<br />
The killing commences (yay!) at a time determined by the lord of KAOS, often in the wee hours of the night and/or morning. In essence, "killing" your target consists of hitting your target in the torso (no limb or head shots) with one of several projectile provided along with the weapon: either a small, yellow bullet (speedy and accurate, two great tastes that taste great together) or a more nostalgic orange suction cup dart (slower but easier to spot and recover after shots). Upon killing your target, both parties must report the incident to KAOS Command via email; the victim is out of the game and the victorious assassin is given a new target, presumably the former target of the recently departed player.<br />
<br />
The hunted are not without defenses against the hunter, however. If one manages to ascertain which player is trying to eliminate them, the former can shoot in the latter and "stun" them, preventing them from engaging in further aggressive behavior for a fair span of time (12 hours in the case of the 2007 game, 24 in past games).<br />
<br />
Needless to say, the [http://wso.williams.edu/~kaos/rules.html complete rules] are far more technical and complex.<br />
<br />
==Endgame==<br />
When the number of players still alive reaches a certain critically low number, normal play is ceased by the KAOS organizers. Usually players are given a small respite from play before a final elimination round to determine a sole winner. The nature of final contest changes yearly, but usually takes one night, and many years has taken the form of a manhunt to the death through the halls of [[Bronfman Science Center]].<br />
<br />
==The Death Squad==<br />
<br />
As with any system in which young individuals are given weaponry and let loose, there must be a check on their anarchy, and that check is The Death Squad. If any KAOS player fails to eliminate their target within the allotted timespan (48 hours or 72 hours depending on the number of players), their name is placed upon a Death List, at which point their life becomes forfeit. Now, unless they manage to eliminate their target and remain hidden for the next 12 hours, they will be mercilessly tracked and eliminated by an elite force of warriors whose weaponry includes heavy-duty Nerf guns, swords, and, according to some sources, a rocket-powered grenade launcher.<br />
<br />
If KAOS Command is made aware of any broken rules on the part of a participant, their name is likewise added to the list. KAOS Command reserves the right to simply remove a player from the game, but except in extreme circumstances prefers to allow them to retain their honor by being slaughtered by a barrage of styrofoam balls.<br />
<br />
Oh, and you can't kill members of Death Squad. So don't even try.<br />
<br />
==Tactics==<br />
Tried and true (or false)<br />
<br />
===Seduction===<br />
A man and women meet at a party. He is immediatly attracted and drops his guard. At the end of the night, the two leave together. The night is long... but we don't need to go there. He wakes in the morning to the barrel of a gun.<br />
<br />
===Claustrophobia===<br />
One hour in a garbage chute is what it took to win KAOS 97. Ventilation shafts are also a good bet (worked in Star Wars).<br />
<br />
===Vertigo===<br />
The door's locked? Try a window. Don't look down.<br />
<br />
===Paranoia===<br />
A cautious player never showers in the same place twice. Many won't even sleep in their own room. Why endanger yourself for bodily functions?<br />
<br />
===Tactics for Nonplayers===<br />
Even if you're missing out on firing projectiles at your dearest friends, you can still join in the fun! Merely shouting "BOO!", opening a door, or breathing can cause high-strung active participants to "freak the flip out," much to the amusement of all.<br />
<br />
===Invalid Tactics===<br />
No, you're not allowed to use an umbrella as a shield. Live with it.<br />
<br />
==Legends==<br />
In any war, there are heroes, and the war of KAOS is no exception. These are their stories.<br />
<br />
===The Interviewer's Gambit===<br />
I had heard from many sources that my first assignment -- we'll call him 'Roger' -- was going to be nearly impossible to catch. I contemplated just trying to stay alive until the Death Squad inevitably came after me. But then on Sunday I developed the Plan. I heard through a friend that Roger was on the winning Trivia team, so I decided to pose as a Record interviewer despite never having worked for a newspaper or conducted an interview. One friend lent me her miniature tape recorder and another, Ben, who had already been killed, came along posing as the Record photographer. We knocked on Roger's door and suddenly the door next door busted open to reveal Roger pointing his gun straight at us. <br />
'Excuse me, but we're from the Record and were wondering if we could interview you as a member of the winning Trivia team?'<br />
'Oh, you'll have to pardon me, I'm playing KAOS.' <br />
'Oh, don't worry, I understand. I have entrymates who are playing.'<br />
He proceeded to allow Ben and me to enter the room. His roommate was also present. We sat down on the bed and I began to conduct the interview. We had thought up a few questions ahead of time but obviously not enough as not once did he stop twirling his gun around his finger. I kept making up questions, hoping that he would relax enough so I could reach for my own gun jammed in my coat pocket. During the questioning, I only slipped up once, but it could have cost me the kill. <br />
'So what do you find most challenging about KAOS? I mean, Trivia.' <br />
Finally I decided I couldn't question him any longer. <br />
'Crap, the tape just ran out. Hang on just a sec while I change this tape.' <br />
'Oh hey, the captain of the Trivia team lives in the suite across the hall. I'll go get him for you.' <br />
I looked at Ben. The window of opportunity was closing quickly. If the captain entered the room first, there would be too many witnesses. Roger reentered the room and I shot him just as the captain, coincidentally a member of the Death Squad, came around the corner.<br />

Upon killing your target, both parties must report the incident to KAOS Command via email; the victim is out of the game and the victorious assassin is given a new target, presumably the former target of the recently departed player.<br />
<br />
The hunted are not without defenses against the hunter, however. If one manages to ascertain which player is trying to eliminate them, the former can shoot in the latter and "stun" them, preventing them from engaging in further aggressive behavior for a fair span of time (12 hours in the case of the 2007 game, 24 in past games).<br />
<br />
Needless to say, the [http://wso.williams.edu/~kaos/rules.html complete rules] are far more technical and complex.<br />
<br />
==Endgame==<br />
When the number of players still alive reaches a certain critically low number, normal play is ceased by the KAOS organizers. Usually players are given a small respite from play before a final elimination round to determine a sole winner. The nature of final contest changes yearly, but usually takes one night, and many years has taken the form of a manhunt to the death through the halls of [[Bronfman Science Center]].<br />
<br />
==The Death Squad==<br />
<br />
As with any system in which young individuals are given weaponry and let loose, there must be a check on their anarchy, and that check is The Death Squad. If any KAOS player fails to eliminate their target within the allotted timespan (48 hours or 72 hours depending on the number of players), their name is placed upon a Death List, at which point their life becomes forfeit. Now, unless they manage to eliminate their target and remain hidden for the next 12 hours, they will be mercilessly tracked and eliminated by an elite force of warriors whose weaponry includes heavy-duty Nerf guns, swords, and, according to some sources, a rocket-powered grenade launcher.<br />
<br />
If KAOS Command is made aware of any broken rules on the part of a participant, their name is likewise added to the list. KAOS Command reserves the right to simply remove a player from the game, but except in extreme circumstances prefers to allow them to retain their honor by being slaughtered by a barrage of styrofoam balls.<br />
<br />
Oh, and you can't kill members of Death Squad. So don't even try.<br />
<br />
==Tactics==<br />
Tried and true (or false)<br />
<br />
===Seduction===<br />
A man and women meet at a party. He is immediatly attracted and drops his guard. At the end of the night, the two leave together. The night is long... but we don't need to go there. He wakes in the morning to the barrel of a gun.<br />
<br />
===Claustrophobia===<br />
One hour in a garbage chute is what it took to win KAOS 97. Ventilation shafts are also a good bet (worked in Star Wars).<br />
<br />
===Paranoia===<br />
A cautious player never showers in the same place twice. Many won't even sleep in their own room. Why endanger yourself for bodily functions?<br />
<br />
===Tactics for Nonplayers===<br />
Even if you're missing out on firing projectiles at your dearest friends, you can still join in the fun! Merely shouting "BOO!", opening a door, or breathing can cause high-strung active participants to "freak the flip out," much to the amusement of all.<br />
<br />
===Invalid Tactics===<br />
No, you're not allowed to use an umbrella as a shield. Live with it.<br />
<br />
==Legends==<br />
In any war, there are heroes, and the war of KAOS is no exception. These are their stories.<br />
<br />
===The Interviewer's Gambit===<br />
I had heard from many sources that my first assignment -- we'll call him 'Roger' -- was going to be nearly impossible to catch. I contemplated just trying to stay alive until the Death Squad inevitably came after me. But then on Sunday I developed the Plan. I heard through a friend that Roger was on the winning Trivia team, so I decided to pose as a Record interviewer despite never having worked for a newspaper or conducted an interview. One friend lent me her miniature tape recorder and another, Ben, who had already been killed, came along posing as the Record photographer. We knocked on Roger's door and suddenly the door next door busted open to reveal Roger pointing his gun straight at us. <br />
'Excuse me, but we're from the Record and were wondering if we could interview you as a member of the winning Trivia team?'<br />
'Oh, you'll have to pardon me, I'm playing KAOS.' <br />
'Oh, don't worry, I understand. I have entrymates who are playing.'<br />
He proceeded to allow Ben and me to enter the room. His roommate was also present. We sat down on the bed and I began to conduct the interview. We had thought up a few questions ahead of time but obviously not enough as not once did he stop twirling his gun around his finger. I kept making up questions, hoping that he would relax enough so I could reach for my own gun jammed in my coat pocket. During the questioning, I only slipped up once, but it could have cost me the kill. <br />
'So what do you find most challenging about KAOS? I mean, Trivia.' <br />
Finally I decided I couldn't question him any longer. <br />
'Crap, the tape just ran out. Hang on just a sec while I change this tape.' <br />
'Oh hey, the captain of the Trivia team lives in the suite across the hall. I'll go get him for you.' <br />
I looked at Ben. The window of opportunity was closing quickly. If the captain entered the room first, there would be too many witnesses. Roger reentered the room and I shot him just as the captain, coincidentally a member of the Death Squad, came around the corner.<br />

<br />
There are seven a cappella groups at Williams, which does not include other [[singing]] groups that may perform many pieces a cappella. Many Williams students have cried that this seems like many for a college of 2000, yet it is [[Amherst]] that claims the nickname of the "singing college" [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amherst_College#Amherst_trivia]. Performances can include mid-semester concerts, end-of-semester concerts, reunion concerts, Mountain Day, and more. Far from just being musical groups, a cappella groups are often extremely social.<br />
<br />
<!-- Adding contact information to this page might make it easier for people who are too lazy to go to individual pages. Other groups can add theirs if they wish. --><br />
<br />
The seven are:<br />
<br />
'''Female-only:''' <br><br />
[[Ephoria]] <br><br />
[[Accidentals]]<br><br />
'''Male-only:''' <br><br />
[[Octet]] <br><br />
[[Springstreeters]]<br><br />
'''Co-ed:''' <br><br />
[[Good Question]] <br><br />
[[Ephlats]]<br><br />
'''Special interest:''' <br><br />
[[Elizabethans]] (co-ed. Contact 09sdr or 10sdw.) <br><br />
<br />
== Traditions ==<br />
<br />
Here are some traditions of Williams a cappella in general (specific group traditions are on group pages).<br />
<br />
=== Auditions ===<br />
<br />
Because of the number of a cappella groups that all wish to recruit primarily freshmen, at around the same time (at the start of the fall, starting with the [[Purple Key Fair]]), auditions for all a cappella groups are usually held in two weeks. Audition times overlap, but applicants choose time slots and are given enough choices that they may try for all the groups they wish.<br />
<br />
When applicants to groups are called back to multiple groups, they rank their order of preference of the groups they are trying for. If accepted by multiple groups, this ranking will determine which they join. It is unknown for a person to be a member of more than one a cappella group concurrently. Sometimes, a group will hold auditions again in the middle of the year. <br />
<br />
== Songs Groups Should Do ==<br />
<br />
Here's what the masses are demanding from Williams a cappella. Add songs it would be cool to hear. If applicable, include what group should do it, who should solo, link to an arrangement, encouraging words, etc.<br />
<!-- please alphabetize! !--><br />
:'''3 Libras''' by A Perfect Circle. Dunno who should do it, but I've heard it done very well by co-ed groups before (i.e. OTB version [http://www.offthebeat.net/music/clips/OTB11/Three%20Libras.mp3 here]). Doesn't sound like Maynard James Keenan and therefore must never listened to by anyone.<br />
:'''Alcohol''' by Barenaked Ladies. Springstreeters or Octet<br />
:'''Bananaphone''' by Raffi. I could care less, but any group who did this song would officially become my favorite group<br />
:'''Blurry''' by Puddle of Mudd. Any all-male or co-ed group. Listen [http://www.stanfordharmonics.com/albums/shadowplay/blurry.mp3 here]<br />
:'''Bohemian Rhapsody''' by Queen.<br />
:'''Californication''' by Red Hot Chili Peppers. Ephlats or GQ<br />
:'''Can't Take My Eyes Off of You''' by Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons. Octet or Springstreeters.<br />
:'''Chicago''' by Sufjan Stevens. Ephoria or Accies. Performed by the Ephlats [[Spring 2006]].<br />
:'''C'est La Vie''' by B*Witched. Ephoria or Accies, maybe with some Irish dancing.<br />
:'''Do You Love Me?''' by The Hollies. Octet.<br />
:'''Every Woman In The World''' by Air Supply. Co-Ed singers willing to sell it, and backup ready to get very teary. Anything by Air Supply, really, would be a kick.<br />
:'''Everyone Else Has Had More Sex Than Me''' by Tism. Any group, probably co-ed.<br />
:'''Fat Bottom Girls''' by Queen. Springstreeters or Octet.<br />
:'''Freebird''' by Lynyrd Skynyrd, as performed by Phish. Either all-male or mostly male.<br />
:'''Hounds of Love''' by The Futureheads (A Kate Bush cover). Any group.<br />
:'''Just A Friend''' by Biz Markie. Springstreeters or GQ<br />
:'''Lady Marmalade''' (''Moulin Rouge'' version. Elizabethans.) [While it would be interesting if the 'Bethans did this song, it should be noted that the Ephlats performed the "Moulin Rouge" version this fall.]<br />
:'''Last Night''' by The Strokes. Octet or Springstreeters<br />
:'''Love Shack''' by B-52s. It is a sin that no co-ed group seems to have done this yet.<br />
::Actually, GQ did this around '02 or '03. It was awesome.<br />
:'''Me and Mrs. Jones''' by Billy Paul. Octet or Springstreeters<br />
:any and every song by '''Meatloaf'''. Might have to abridge them a little . . . or not. The famous baseball announcer bit in ''Paradise By The Dashboard Light'' is a must-do; co-ed group probably required<br />
:'''Mr. Roboto''' by Styx. It'll never happen, I know. Actually, an arrangement is in the works by a certain co-ed group.<br />
:'''My Heart Will Go On''' Streeters or Octet.<br />
:'''The Oompa Loompa Song''' from ''Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory''. A co-ed or maloe group making heavy use of falsetto. Maybe best for an intermission or skit piece, due to high repetitiveness, but high comedic potential no matter what.<br />
:'''The Memory Remains''' by Metallica...Metallica? Are you kidding? Actaully, the Stanford Harmonics do a pretty kick-ass rendition [http://www.stanfordharmonics.com/albums/shadowplay/memrem.mp3 here] Are you kidding me? Do you honestly think Metallica wants some douchy a capella group doing their songs? Don't disrespect legends of a genre that already gets too little respect as is. Uh, certain people need to lighten the fuck up.<br />
:'''The Reason''' by Hoobastank. Ephlats or GQ<br />
:'''The Remedy''' by Jason Mraz. Octet or Ephlats<br />
:'''There Must Be An Angel''' Ephoria or Accidentals.<br />
:'''Ultimate Cheeseburger''' by the Meaty Cheesy Boys. Springstreeters or Octet.<br />
:'''We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off To Have A Good Time''' by Jermaine Stewart. Lead's a smoky female voice, so any group/soloist will do, and the lyrics will not disappoint.<br />
:'''Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?''' by Rockapella. 'Nuff said.<br />
:'''[http://www.mit.edu/people/patil/yatta.html Yatta!]''' by Happatai<br />
<br />
== Songs Groups Should Never Do/Stop Doing ==<br />
<br />
Yeah, maybe that five-minute guitar solo won't ''really'' sound too hot as a human voice ensemble. Here are the songs people want to warn groups away from, for whatever reasons.<br />
<br />
<br />
<!-- please alphabetize! !--><br />
:'''Devil Went Down To Georgia,''' Charlie Daniels Band. The fiddle is critical.<br />
::This person obviously has not listened to the Middlebury Dissipated Eight's version of this song. Excellent, fiddle and all.<br />
:::[http://community.middlebury.edu/~eight/outoftheashes.html Heard it.] Unconvinced.</div>09awghttps://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Wassaic_train_station&diff=17095Wassaic train station2008-05-09T23:28:57Z<p>09awg: </p>
<hr />
<div>A good 1 1/2 hours away from [[Williams College]], great for those traveling to [[New York]]. Wassaic is the last New York Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) commuter rail station on the Metro-North Harlem Line. Trains on the Harlem line stop at a number of points before arriving at New York's Grand Central Station, including Dover Plains, Brewster, and White Plains.<br />
<br />
About half the price of the Amtrak [[Albany Train Station]], but nearly double the driving time spent from [[Williamstown]]. The trip from Wassaic to New York should take approximately two hours and ten minutes.<br />
<br />
==Getting to the Wassaic Train Station==<br />
<br />
Simple as heck. <br />
<br />
Take Rt. 7 South. <br />
<br />
Turn right on Rt. 43/Hancock Rd. <br />
<br />
Turn left at Rt. 22 either by turning left at Provost, a sketchy one-way dirt road, or make an almost-u-turn at the light. <br />
<br />
At some point you'll need to turn left again to stay on Rt. 22. <br />
<br />
Stay on Rt. 22. You'll pass over I-90 and pass through a bunch of open-farmland and stuff. Don't worry, you are not lost.<br />
<br />
Eventually you'll get to the train station. It will be on your left. <br />
Turn left at the light to enter.</div>09awghttps://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php?title=College_Bowl&diff=17072College Bowl2008-05-08T04:20:15Z<p>09awg: </p>

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 />
<br />
All are welcome to try College Bowl. Meetings are Tuesday evenings in Griffin 1.<br />

<br />
===Dutch===<br />
<br />
[[Jason Leith|Jason Leith '03]] lived in the Netherlands for a few months, and can tell you what "neuken in de keuken" and "let op zakkenrollers!" means. He had little opportunity to actually speak the language, though, which was probably actually a good thing, as he values the integrity of his velum.<br />
<br />
===English===<br />
'''British Accent'''<br />
:[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=08cjl Christina Lee '08] thought that she had the greatest British accent evar but her hopes and dreams were shattered when her entrymates told her in '04 that her British accent actually sucks. ) =<br />
<br />
'''Canadian Accent'''<br />
:[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=08sjp Samantha Peterson '08] knows a funny joke that makes fun of the Canadian accent. Ask her aboot it sometime, eh?<br />
<br />
:[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=09mlg Mallory Green '09] knows that no one who is "impersonating" a Canadian accent actually sounds Canadian, no joke about a Canadian accent is funny to a Canadian, there isn't only one 'Canadian' accent and finally, you are all jealous of how cute we sound.<br />
<br />
'''Chinese Accent'''<br />
:[[Jing Cao]] speak Proper Chinese Flavor English<br />
<br />
'''Hong Kong Accent'''<br />
:<br />
:Timothy Cheng, You can't get much more Hong Kong than this. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Indian Accent'''<br />
:[[Nirmal Deshpande '07]] occasionally speaks with a British-tinged Indian accent, specifically responding "You can make me drink, but you cannot make me get you a beer!" to demands that he wait hand and foot upon someone. <br />
<br />
:[[Sean Milano]] '09 tries to immitate his neighbour upstairs, but fails miserably. He just isn't cool enough.<br />
<br />
:[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=08rmr RHAAAD!] '08 Genuine, proper Indian accent!<br />
<br />
:[[Aditi Chaturvedi '10]] has an accent that beats any imitation. It's the real thing!<br />
<br />
'''Japanese Accent'''<br />
:[[Diana Davis '07]] spent a month speaking English with a Japanese accent, so she can still do it very convincingly.<br />
<br />
'''Pittsfield Accent (including, but not limited to, Berkshire County)'''<br />
:[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=09emf Emily Flynn '09] grew up in the P-unit as people (I swear to God) seriously call it. She had a mad deece time at THS and was wicked excited to come to Williams. She could often be heard saying "Do it, you won't!", especially on the miniature golf course, at the b. mall, or at ken's bowl. Yee.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singlish Singlish]'''<br />
:[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=10hln Mike Nguyen '10] come tok to him lor.<br />
<br />
'''Southern Accent'''<br />
:Evelyn Robinson '05 has an occassional native Southern accent so sudden and endearing you'd swear she is joking, but she aint.<br />
<br />
:[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=09wem Will McClain '09] speaks with a Southern accent on and off during regular conversation (something out of his control), but can speak Mississippian at will.<br />
<br />
:[[Wes Johnson '09]] somehow doesn't have one.<br />
<br />
:[[Walker Matthews '08]] has a consistent, strong Georgia drawl, even though he himself can't hear it or most other American accents.<br />
<br />
'''Wisconsin Accent'''<br />
<br />
:[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=08sjp Samantha Peterson '08] can't speak it that well, but she can make fun of it like no one else.<br />
<br />
:[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=09cjv Cat Vielma '09] hates it, and reminds people that Chicago is universes apart from the rest of the grand ol' Midwest<br />

<br />

:Teng Jian Khoo '09 speaks this at home. Somemore now got Singaporeans here dee, can tok crap with them liao - so shiok!<br />
<br />
===Esperanto===<br />
<br />
[[Joe McDonough '06]] visited the International Esperanto Museum in Vienna, but by that time he had forgotten most of the Esperanto he had learned in a fit of boredom during Winter Study two years previously.<br />
<br />
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=09bdk Brian Kim '09] thinks that, despite its structural flaws, Esperanto is basically the coolest concept ever. Interlingua, however, is prettier.<br />
<br />
===French===<br />
<br />
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=06dr David Rodriguez] used to be much better, but he now inserts random Catalán words in French conversation.<br />
<br />
[[Diana Davis '07]] is still pretty good at French.<br />
<br />
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=08kch Katherine Huang] '08 took a lit course with Professor Martin and scored well on the SAT II and AP exams, but that doesn't mean her accent isn't atrociously American...<br />
<br />
[[Joe Hutchinson '06]] was once accused of speaking French from the 18th century<br />
<br />
[[Kathryn Lindsey '07]] speaks decent French. <br />
<br />
[[Lindsay Long-Waldor '08]] has not spoken in a while, but she might still have some skills.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Tosin Adeyanju '08]] third language I can kinda speak.<br />
<br />
[[Vlado Nedkov '06]] spent last year in Paris. He can say a lot more than 'voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir', althought that phrase comes in handy quite often.<br />
<br />
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=06itj Ikem.T.Joseph] after 5 yrs of study can pretty much read and write with good understanding. In terms of speaking, that's a work in progress.<br />
<br />
[[Carl Vos '09]] mom is french, and I know a lot, but havn't spoken it in a while. I can get by alright.<br />
<br />
[[Jack Nelson '07]] took it for 9 years before getting bored. Now speaks French like a Russian or Norwegian immigrant who speaks no French at all.<br />
<br />
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=09bdk Brian Kim '09] owes much of his sanity to the fact that dead French men write better books than most people.<br />
<br />
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=08sjp Samantha Peterson '08] agrees wholeheartedly with Brian Kim, but finds herself occasionally (and accidentally) speaking 18th and 19th century French because of it.<br />
<br />
[[Ben Grant '09]] took French for a while and has a pretty decent accent. Shows a flair for making fun of random French Canadians in bars because they sound so funny.<br />
<br />
[[Andrew Goldston '09]] was once teased by French Canadians for having a "European accent". His high school French teachers would be proud of that. They would not be proud of his lack of fluency.<br />
<br />
[[Robin Allemand '10]] speaks French fluently thanks to his parents.<br />
<br />
[[Thomas Coleman '10]] speaks English and hates the French.<br />
<br />
Chaedria Robinson '07 has a complicated relationship with the French she refuses to speak.<br />
<br />
===German===<br />
<br />
ich wuerde kimis film sehr gern anschauen. machen wir das, ge? <br />
und was lustiges fuer euch- wenn ihr jemanden um eine cigarette bitten wollt, sagt mal einfach-"chill mir eine cigarette." ohne scheiss. funktioniert hervorragend. die deutschen...<br />
<br />
[[Steve Hunter '07]]<br />
<br />
[[Jono Dowse '06]]<br />
<br />
Paloma Diaz speaks German too. <br />
<br />
[[Joe Hutchinson '06]] thinks in and sometimes thinks he's German<br />
<br />
[[Kimi Gilbert '06]] spent more than a year in Berlin. Hence, she is legitimately badass. Her German skills are unbelievable. And she starred in a Deutsch Schei�e Video. Go figure.<br />
<br />
[[Kat Jong '07]] Is currently spending the Year in Munich and can thus speak enough to get by, read books she'd already read in English, and play an entire game of [[Magic The Gathering]]. <br />
<br />
[[Vlado Nedkov '06]] used to kick ass in German. Unfortunately, he's a sell out and has moved on to romance languages.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Daniel P. Rooney '06]] Speaks mean Deutsch. Very creative. Need help writing a german essay about a funny picture? Daniel is your man!<br />
<br />
*Swiss German<br />
<br />
[[Jono Dowse '06]] has a German-language textbook on Swiss German and really wants to be able to speak it authentically. At this point, he knows the numbers and some basic vocabulary and grammar. (TAs swoon when he counts to ten.)<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Joe Gangestad '06]] speaks a mad Munchen Deutsch, and will one day teach astrophysics to unassuming little German children.<br />
<br />
Teng Jian Khoo '09 reads children's books in German.<br />
<br />
[[Toby Hall]] is a German major, and is living in Deutschland during the summer of 2006<br />
<br />
[[Carl Vos '09]] is taking German and will be spending the summer of 2006 in Munich and Berlin.<br />
<br />
===Greek===<br />
<br />
====Ancient====<br />
Hazen (As in I can write in it and tell you how to pronounce the letters of their alphabet. I didn't write this.)<br />
<br />
[[Brent Yorgey]] '04<br />
<br />
[[Aditi Chaturvedi]] '10 knows more Greek than just the alphabet. Knows more grammar and vocabulary than she wants to, as does anyone in CLGR 101.<br />
<br />
Math nerds know the Greek alphabet.<br />
<br />
So do Classics majors. (And in order. What comes after phi, oh my math and physics friends?) (the "$" comes after "\phi", unless it's on its own line, in which case you'll put "$$")<br />
<br />
Shawn Woo '09<br />
<br />
[[Walker Matthews '08]] knows entirely too much Greek, and for some inexplicable reason is moderately capable of reading something as complicated as Thucydides without actually being to conjugate verbs (a shortcoming he hopes to correct by the end of the year).<br />
<br />
====Modern====<br />
<br />
[[Jono Dowse '06]] thinks Modern Greek is cool and spent some time in online lessons for it his sophomore year. His study has since lapsed. He knows the order of the Greek alphabet well despite being a math major.<br />
<br />
[[Jim Prevas]] knows all the bad words.<br />
<br />

[[Aditi Chaturvedi '10]]<br />
<br />
Harsh Sodhi '10<br />
<br />
===IPA===<br />
is not a language; it is an omnipotent alphabet.<br />
<br />
[[Jono Dowse '06]] is to the [http://wso.williams.edu/~jdowse/ipa.html International Phonetic Alphabet] as Al Gore is to the Internet.<br />
<br />
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=06dr David Rodriguez] learned the IPA incredibly well as Jono Dowse's (who's Nate Sanders?) student in LING 111<br />
<br />
[[Jason Leith]] rejects the notion that a velar trill is impossible. It is, however, so ugly a sound that not even languages like Dutch and Danish have adopted it. He uses IPA when indicating pronunciation in his music.<br />
<br />
===Italian===<br />
<br />
[[Lucy Cox-Chapman '06]] spent a semester in Italy<br />
<br />
[[Katie Josephson '07]] is dying in Italian 103<br />
<br />
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=08sjp Samantha Peterson '08] speaks Italian with a sexy French accent.<br />
<br />
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=06dr David Rodriguez '06] knows all of the great insults and generally vulgar phrases.<br />
<br />
[[Davide Carozza]]: born in Roma baby!<br />
<br />
[[Chaedria Robinson '07]] Is morally opposed to speaking Italian without a glass of Chianti.<br />
<br />
[[Rob Buesing '09]] si piacerebbe se fosse piu italiano che 103, ma nonostante cerca a parlare italiano a qualsiasi punto con qualunque persona vuoi sentirlo.<br />
<br />
===Japanese===<br />
<br />
[[Amanda R. Van Rhyn '06 | Amanda Van Rhyn]] now knows how to say "my husband got drunk and hit me."<br />
<br />
[[Diana Davis '07]] frequently mutters small phrases in Japanese. People think she is mumbling, becuase they don't understand Japanese. In addition to randomly speaking in Japanese, she also randomly speaks English with an excellent Japanese accent.<br />
<br />
[[Leah Weintraub '06]] spent a semester in Japan. Ergo, she probably speaks Japanese.<br />
<br />
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=08cvw Charlotte White] rocks at Japanese, and is easily distracted by pretty things from Japan. She also says "WTF Japan" rather often. As should we all.<br />
<br />
[[Ebonie Little '07]] can karaoke most hit Japanese pop songs...albeit in an unflatteringly squeaky voice. She's also in Japan for a year leveling up on language skills.<br />
<br />
[[Sam Doyon '05]] took Japanese for 3 1/2 years at Williams, lived in Tokyo for two months before he forgot every word of Japanese.<br />
<br />
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=09bdk Brian Kim '09] took this in high school but now retains little more than the ability to pretend he is speaking Japanese by inserting whatever he wants to say in English between "watashi wa" and "desu."<br />
<br />

[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=08dpr Dawn Robinson '08] is Korean. She can read and write Konglish, and say, "Hello, my name is Dawn" in Korean. :)<br />
<br />
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=06ayl Angela Lee] '06 can speak, read and write Korean surprisingly well, even though she emigrated at the age of 6. She also has a (dare I say) encyclopedic knowledge of Korean pop culture.<br />

[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=09bdk Brian Kim '09] is a disgrace to Koreans everywhere. This is also reflected in his speaking ability. Oh, and he can't spell to save his life.<br />
<br />
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=08cjl Christina Lee '08] takes pride in speaking, writing, and reading Korean pretty damn well and thanks her mom who sent her to Korean school once a week since she was 4 years old. THANKS MOM! ( =<br />

<br />
A rather cool internet program created by Lee Butterman of Brown University is a text to speech program that will read any latin poetry or verse aloud and give you a decent pronunciation of it. Find it [http://www.poetaexmachina.net/ Here]<br />
<br />
[[Walker Matthews '08]] has studied Latin for seven years, which implies (but does not guarantee) that he knows what he's talking about.<br />

It also helps that she has, in a certain sense, been speaking Quenya since the day she learned her own name.<br />
<br />
===Middle English===<br />
Rumor has it that [[Shane Bobrycki '07]] is fluent in Middle English. Also, he's a total nerd :)<br />
<br />
===Mongolian===<br />
<br />
If you use the word "hoorah" or "hurray," then you already know some Mongolian because hurray is a Mongol "exclamation of joy, victory, or excitement."<br />

===Thai===<br />
"Pad Thai" is not pronounced with a hard 'a' like in 'paddy', but more closely resembles the 'a' in 'father' (but shorter).<br />
<br />
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=07spt Sarun Peter Tosirisuk] has what some might call "non-volitional fluency" (he also just made that term up). Like a Thai person with Broca's aphasia, Peter can understand speech but cannot produce it, for the language is locked away in some deep part of his brain. Also, he doesn't know any words that wouldn't have been said in his house when he was growing up.<br />

===Urdu===<br />

All these students are fluent in written and spoken Urdu, the national language of Pakistan. Urdu is a unique language adapted from Persian and written in Arabic text, though it sounds identical to Hindi, the national language of India, which is written in Sanskrit script.

<br />
Officially known as the Deadly Ten, 2008.<br />
<br />
Despite Williams' small size and the fact that everyone seems to know everyone, or is at least connected to them somehow, it remains a fact that it's impossible to know everyone. And there are some people that it REALLY seems impossible to know, for one reason or another.<br />
<br />
The defining characteristic of the Deadly Ten is that no one can know them all. It is a physical impossibility. Were someone to know nine and finally meet the tenth, said someone would disappear from the space-time continuum, as if they had never existed. Or he/she might spontaneously combust. We're not sure which.<br />
<br />
I don't know all of the deadly ten, as evidenced by the fact that I'm not dead.<br />
<br />
But here are some guesses:<br />
<br />
1. Sara Carian: Pretty obscure. Most people think she's a senior. And since she's going to Oxford next year, it'll look like she was. <br />
<br />
2.) Ben Wood: Silent, but deadly.<br />
<br />
3.) Hope Tammany. Often called with Tamanny Hope. She's that sidelined. She is also known to beat people up on occasion, sometimes even rendering them useless on the floor of the B.<br />
<br />
4.) Chris Paci. This one is particularly difficult due to the fact that he is taking/auditing not 4, not 5, but 7 classes, as well as his penchant for impromptu day trips to Prague.<br />
<br />
5.) Corey Beverly. Sure, you might be friends with him on facebook or have seen him rocking out with Wyclef, but who can REALLY say that they know him? <br />
...oh yeah. Probably all of you.<br />
<br />
6.) Greg Tobkin. He's an evil genius in his spare time. He won't write a thesis in his senior year...he'll write two. And cure cancer. But at what price???<br />
<br />
7.) ?<br />
<br />
8.) ?<br />
<br />
9.) ?<br />
<br />
10.) ?<br />
<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 />
<br />
All are welcome to try College Bowl. Meetings are Tuesday evenings in Griffin 1.<br />

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 5-1. At [[Boston University]]'s January '06 mirror of the [[University of Michigan]]'s MLK tournament, the Brandeis A-team also lost a playoff match to Williams' B-team.</div>09awghttps://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Andrew_Goldston&diff=16796Andrew Goldston2008-04-17T01:58:58Z<p>09awg: past tense</p>

<div>Andrew Goldston '09 used to be Andrew Goldston '08, but a freshman year injury led to a semester off, ensuring that for more than a year he would live in fear of the day his 08 login would be taken away, replaced by an 09 login. Then one day it happened, and he got over it.<br />
<br />
Goldston plays [[College Bowl]] and [[Williams Trivia]], and was Dodd's [[College Council]] representative in 2007.</div>09awghttps://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php?title=College_Bowl&diff=16795College Bowl2008-04-17T01:47:50Z<p>09awg: </p>

<hr />
<div>The Williams community gathered this evening to discuss the prevalence of hate<br />
and indifference on our campus. Over 120 students spent hours sharing our<br />
anger and developing a vision for a better community. This is our way of<br />
beginning to change the culture of apathy and foster the real respect that we<br />
know is possible.<br />
<br />
* '''please add your name'''<br />
<br />
<br />
WE ARE WILLIAMS STUDENTS AND WE SEE HATE AND INDIFFERENCE HERE AND NOW. WE ARE<br />
COMMITTING TO BUILD A RESPECTFUL AND AFFIRMING COMMUNITY. WE STAND AGAINST<br />
DISCRIMINATION OF EVERY KIND AND DEMAND THE SAME FROM OUR ADMINISTRATION.<br />
UNTIL THIS BECOMES A REALITY WE WILL KEEP FIGHTING. STAND WITH US!<br />

<div>Many students keep a blog, have a home page, or otherwise have a web page to call their own. This article tries to list all of them.<br />
<br />
If you want to know how to make a home page of your own, check out the article on [[making your own web page]]; to start a blog, visit [http://wso.williams.edu/blogs/ WSO WordPress Blogs].<br />
<br />
Please organize these by class year so we can easily transfer graduating classes to [[alumni with web presences]]. Also, alphabetize the list by last name then first name.<br />
