<hr />
<div>''n.'' An alum who graduated a significantly long time ago. Crust begins accreting on a graduate at the moment of Commencement. The longer a person has been out of Williams, the crustier he or she is.<br />
<br />
(1) an alum is technically "crusty" when all the classes he or she knew at Williams have graduated. (ie: the '02's are now officially crusty because the last class they knew, '05's, recently graduated.) In other words, you're crusty when you don't have a floor to crash on anymore.<br />
<br />
''adj.'' Having crust.<br />
<br />
Used primarily in the [[Odd Quad]], to apply to Odd Quadders (note that even Crusties are still Odd Quadders. Once an Odd Quadder, always an Odd Quadder). <br />
<br />
Not to be confused with [[Kraftee]].</div>71.131.40.110https://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Talk:Basics_of_Ultimate_Frisbee&diff=2497Talk:Basics of Ultimate Frisbee2005-10-17T05:50:06Z<p>71.131.40.110: </p>

<div>This is a cool page, I never really knew anything about Ultimate strategy etc. and look forward to reading about the "more advanced" topics. However, might I suggest changing the name of this page to something more descriptive, such as "Basics of Ultimate"? I think ideally in a wiki each page should have a name which is descriptive of its content, even out of context. For example when I saw "Basics of the Game" in the RecentChanges list, I had no idea which game was being discussed.<br />

<hr />
<div>A completely unimportant title granted to a member of [[WARP]] who is not the Pope.<br />
<br />
The office of Not-Pope was created when Jesse Dill, '04, then 'pope' of WARP, excommunicated himself. The office was handed over to a random dude whose name was found in an Akron, Ohio phonebook. In order to accommodate the new situation, Jesse re-christened himself as the Not-Pope. For the next several years, the 1st Not-Pope issued numerous random proclamations, signifying nothing in particular.<br />
<br />
Before his graduation, Not-Pope Jesse passed the mitre to Katy Dieber, '07, who currently holds office. She has issued approximately one proclamation: the creation of the first Not-Cardinal of WARP (his not-eminence [[Hank Gerrard the "Not-Cardinal" Tojman]]). Her proclamations are advised and mostly-written by Sean Carollo, '07 ("The Guy with the Hat"), including this entry into this institution's store of knowledge.<br />
<br />
In May of 2007, Katy will pass the grave responsibilities of the Jessinian office on to some as-yet-undetermined member of the class of '10, though keeping the glory of the title for herself. But she will pass on the mitre. Even if it's warm and nifty.<br />

<hr />
<div>The Driscoll Deviations were a series of pranks performed, unsurprisingly enough, by the Driscoll Deviants, a group of students who felt that dinnertime at Williams needed the occasional bit of lightening up. Most of the Deviations took place between 2002 and 2004. Notable Deviations included Formal Dinner Night, where students arrived in full evening attire and were served by volunteer waitstaff; Wild West Night, which featured water guns, bandanas, atrocious comboy accents, a sing-along of the theme from "Rawhide," and a pseudo-genuine stringing-up of outlaws; Fairy Tale Night, at which princesses, ogres, fairies, mermaids, and vampires frolicked as children's stories were read; 70's Disco Night, where half of [[Driscoll]] got down to the Village People and KC and the Sunshine Gang; and, of course, the infamous Odd Takes Dodd night, the only Driscoll Deviation to take place in a dining hall other than Driscoll. Some residents of [[Dodd]] swore they'd never forget the moment when an army of pirates, ninjas, and Vikings bearing large duct-tape swords invaded their previously peaceful home. <br />
<br />
The [[Deviants]] still maintain a listserver which is used to organize entertaining and odd activities on campus, and Driscoll Deviations, though less common than in years past, occur one or two times per semester. Recent deviations include the Thrift Store/Back-of-the-wardrobe deviation on 9/24/2005, and the Gods and Goddesses Deviation in Spring 2005.<br />
<br />
The Deviants emerged in 2002 although enjoyed the height of their mischief in 2003. Prior Williams generations of people who enjoyed doing things that were off the beaten path had, until then, asssociated themselves with WARP and used their listserve as primary means of communication. With the graduation of the class of 2002, in 2003 WARP took on a heavier role playing, duct-tape sword, video gaming identity. Out of a desire to participate in quirky, fun events but not necessarily under the WARP banner, Deviants. The odd quad then took on a split identity as deviants "deviated" from WARP and became accepted by the campus as a group of fun loving students who sometimes wore a toga to dinner.<br />
<br />
Other events by the group included Storytime, as read from the balcony window of Currier Ballroom or in the basement, co-ed naked snowball fights, murder mystery parties, movie screenings (The Secret of the Sock Monkey, namely), a Bad Poetry Slam, and other dress up events. <br />
<br />
With the co-founders having graduated in 2003 and 2004, deviants lives on in the hands of the new generation of Williams students, perhaps waiting to take on a new meaning of its own.</div>71.131.40.110https://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Deviants&diff=2466Deviants2005-10-16T22:49:11Z<p>71.131.40.110: </p>
<hr />
<div>The name "Deviants" was adopted by members of the Williams community who associated themselves with a less mainstream culture, particularly social life. The name was taken from a listserver owned by Jesse Dill '04 and Chris Holmes '03, which was first created to organize [[Driscoll Deviations]], and then gradually became a means to announce social events in general. It is still used for this purpose. <br />
<br />
Deviants generally reside in the [[Odd quad]], although estranged deviants can be found in other parts of campus. <br />
<br />
Deviants is not sponspored by the college and receives no funding. Its activities are made possible by the efforts of individual members of the group. Membership in "Deviants" is unofficial. <br />
<br />
Deviants is associated but not affiliated with [[WARP]] by virtue of an intersection in membership. Deviants is also loosely associated with the [[Elizabethans]] and [[(Moocho Macho Moocow Military) Marching Band]].</div>71.131.40.110
