The Deal A dealer---me? I couldn,t believe that I was supposed to deal black jack. I knew very little about black jack except that you had to get 21 to win. SAE was having its annual Bowery Ball. It was one of the three gambling nights on campus Lambda Chi and Halls also have their own which are each unique in their own way. As a member of the house I had to contribute in some way. But to deal? Fortunately for me I had a month to practice. For the next few weeks I practiced whenever I had the chance. Amazingly enough by the time of Bowery I had gotten good enough to win about fifty percent of the time. s, The day before Bowery, SAE was miraculously transformed into a gambling casino worthy of any Las Vegas gambler. There was roulette, craps, and my game, 21. The house was all set for the big night. When it finally opened to our by invitation only guests, I was all set to go. I was really psyched. I felt quite professional dressed in my black bow tie, ruffled shirt and with my red and black garter. A lot of people came to my table and I was always very busy. Throughout the night I got so good that I was taking hundred dollar chips away from hard core gamblers. Delighted with my powers with cards, I decided to try my luck at Halls Casino Night a couple of weeks later. It was a big change for me. What no beer? Well I guess I can play better sober. Wrong. I lost my shirt. Next year I think Iill get inebriated before I go gambling. It never fails. It,s as regular as Income Tax and death. No matter when Spring Carnival is planned, it always snows. In fact, I thought that if they called it Snow Carnival it might be sunny. You would think it would be sunny during the second week in May. Months before the Programs Board began its annual exercise in futility; maybe this year it wonit snow. HMichelle, did you call everyone for the meeting? Michelle was the Special Events Chairman in charge of Spring Carnival. liYes Chief, I did it yesterday. llI was just checking.
