Tidbits from tonight’s CCSC meeting:

manatee– First, the first Lerner Pub is this Thursday from 10-12 (as the rest of us try, and fail, to get into East Campus).

– Excitingly, Flex off Campus, per junior class President George Krebs, is “well underway,” with a timeline put together by the administration in place. Said timeline would result in Flex dollars accepted at off-campus eateries before 2008 graduation.

– Not to mention, President Krebs’ first e-mail, which is so wonderfully bizarre (the class of 2009 is WHAT?) that we reprinted it after the jump.

– Tentatively, there’s a sophomore semiformal in the works for the spring. Sophomores can hope (though their livers might disagree) that it’s a replay of last year’s Winter Wonderland.

– Finally, five parties have expressed an interest in running in – wait for it – the Freshman Elections! Oh, pray that they’re every as ludicrous as the ten-party 2010 freshman elections were. More coverage on all these stories as they develop.

– And! A picture of manatees.

Dearest the Ineffable Class of �09,

As though we never left, we�re back and ready to get the sweet

nectars flowing in the veins of �09 once more.

Welcome to the sphere of the junior–where we sit high atop the

mighty totem pole.  No longer steeped in the Western philosophy of

CC as the sophomores, no longer the naïve ones trying to find our

places as the freshmen, and not yet the nervous ones, constantly

preoccupied with trying to line up countless job interviews and

grad school applications as the seniors.  We�re living the dream,

boys and girls.

On behalf of myself, Mark (our VP), Ian, Heather, and Zahrah (our

elected Representatives), I would like to thank you for electing us

to another year running.  There is no doubt in my mind that not only

are we going to take advantage of our campus status, but that CCSC

�09 will do whatever it takes to make this year incredible.  So in

the immortal words of the great Black Eyed Peas, �Let�s get it

started in huh.�

–————[various newsy things]———

That should be it for now, you guys.  We may be in different dorms,

different academic departments for our major, or even root for

different teams (GO Red Sox tonight vs. Yanks!), but I hope we can

mesh at a couple of events throughout the semester and renew the

solidity of the �09 class that we�ve had going.

Lovingly,

George and your Class of �09 Elected Stalwarts,

Mark, Heather, Ian and Zahrah.
