Endangered Feces Goes Down in Toilet Bowl Cutting anddodging, Scott Skoog of John Mabee Hall tried to get the football in the endzone, but when his flag was pulled stopping .him one yard short, the 44 Toxic Shockers were able to ,celebrate having pre- served a dramatic 24-16 victory over the Endangered 'Feces in the 20th annual Toilet Bowl. l The contest, which pits one frac- tion of JMH residents and alumni against another, has been creating heroes and goats every spring for the .past two decades.. T The game is just the highlight of a whole weekend of good times, said Mike Murphy, JMH alum who has participated in 12 Toilet Bowls. T he games were started partly as relief from social drought, said Ron Frixico, another 12-year veteran, The social codes here tat TUJ used to be very strict, very limiting on visitation hours, parties, drinking and so on, and by the end of the year everyone needed a chanceto break loose. f'The fraternities and sororities had their ritual parties, so the Toilet Bowl along with the parties and parades be- came the Independents' big social event. Despite the surrounding festivities, the game itself is serious business. There's a lot of pressure to win, Mur- ,EEQQGK k . ME.

This game's created a lot of goats. lt's also made Walter Mittys into heroes. There's always a lot of well- known TU athletes in the game Qsome Toilet Bowl competitors have enjoyed wider fame, such as National Football League stars Drew Pearson and Ricky Wattsj, but itis usually the ordinary weekend jocks who decide it? After living around all these guys for a year, you usually end up disliking about half of them, Fixico said lightly. If you're lucky, most of them show up on the other team. - Joe Robertson

TULSA LlNIVERSlTY'S A sarcastic view of TU terminology. - Written by Brian Lageose The Pit: Said to be located in the basement of Twin West. No one is really sure. Occasionally Pit Dwellers have been known to crawl out and attend class, but they mostly make noise and throw things. The U: This is that big grassy area separating Lottie Jane and the John. A real pain to cross at eight in the morning when your sense of direction is not yet functioning. There are sidewalks, but they go in stupid directions and no one uses them. The John: I think people live here. Or try to anyway. I wouldn't call it a residence hall, though. More like a never- ending scene from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. rivial Pursuit: An irritating game. As if college students didn't have enough to think about, we have to sit around and try to remember the name of Nancy Reagan's gynecologist. TU Terminology nads: A shorter less vulgar term for residents of the first floor of Twin South. It makes them feel masculine. They need it. The Cave: This is where the Knads live. Strange things take place here. Don't ask. Always on Top: Girls on the third floor of Twin South have this saying on their shirts. It seems Twin South residents have an obsession with sexual expressions. KEP: Short for Keplinger Hall. Students are too tired to say the whole name after walking all the way down there. ll Kids: Chic term for All My Children? A soap opera about rich people with problems. Just like all the rest, but this one is during lunch and is easier to watch.
