Let's not forget the flip side of the coin. I don't think I've ever heard of MIT (nerd heaven) referred to as a "Party" school. Most of us have been know to go weeks at a time without partying (except in the frats where social norms are more important tha personal expression [flame intended]). The difference seems to be that while MIT students don't party as often, they get more out of it when they do. At what other schools would you expect a party like the VBTB? At this once-every-three-years event, a room is bathed in ultra-violet lights and the party goes are given beer, twinkies and all the vaseline they can smear on their friends (or soon- to-be friends ;-). At many college parties, groups of students will sneak off to smoke dope -- how many schools fill their bongs with liquid nitrogen stolen from VLSI labs? Recently I attended a party whose location was a little odd -- on top of the Great Dome. In order to get their, the planners had to disable an extensive alarm system, picks several large padlocks, re-wire the elevator control and scale and 18 foot wall eight stories off the ground. Now, I've heard stories about great parties at other schools where "the beer kegs lasted all weekend", but when they happen almost every night, I imagine they get a little dull. MIT students don't party very often, but when they do, their very industrious about it. They don't take to being called "a bunch of anti-social nerds." Probably the best mention of an MIT party was in Lisa Birnbach's "College Handbook" which said that Senior House's Steer Roast party is the best college party in the area (which it is). We certainly don't have a monopoly of engineer-party-types here, I'm curious to hear what "interesting" events occur at other colleges. -- -Charles

Hmmm... well there are Jello parties where all the alcohol is available only by eating specially prepared Jello. One is usually requested to bring their own spoon... also, there are mattress parties where one covers the floor (wall to wall) with old mattresses. People take off their shoes, get drunk, and bounce around... -- TCP/IP: lee@rochester.arpa UUCP: {seismo, allegra, decvax, cmcl2, topaz, harvard}!rochester!lee XNS: Lee Moore:CS:Univ Rochester Phone: +1 (716) 275-7747, -5671 Physical: 43 01' 40'' N, 77 37' 49'' W

We also had a mattress party, but we covered the walls and floor with mattresses. We had a beach party where we filled our apartment with 8 inches of sand. See if you can top that!!

The courtyard between Towers( male ) and Glenn (female ) dormitories is filled with bikini clad sunbathers...granted, they are studying ( constantly ), but their still bikini clad. You do have a point though, there are still more guys watching than there are bikini clad sunbathers...but give it time, female enrollment at schools like ours is getting better. - Scott -- --------- I'll stop procrastinating tomorow.
