Silliman

Granted, New Haven feels like Siberia right about now. And for the biggest, baddest block on campus, a mighty trudge to the House of Payne to face our enemies is about as nice as a day trip to the Arctic. But rest assured, Silliman will continue its polar expedition across the frozen tundra of this fair city—nothing gets in the way of earning our winter keep.

C-hoops and squash may be down, but they will not be out by a long shot. Captains Louis "Cactus Jack" Tompros '00, Andrew Kubla '01 and Khani Kitcher '01 have already made munitions requests to the college council for leg warmers and long underwear, since that's what it takes to keep the troops warm and the season alive. Sillman's volleyball teams are a combined 9-2, a record that gives them a share of the league lead, and both fully expect to finish that way. Ernest "The Great One" Morris '00 has promised to body slam every single roody-poody college in his path, if that's what it takes to get his first v-ball shirt. Water polo, under the ever-watchful eyes of "Witty" Tom Whitney '02 and Katie "Punisher" Pinder '01, looks to rebound from an overtime heartbreaker and lead a record crop of frosh to rule the pool. (But they could use some women warriors to come out, hint, hint.) At press time, Anne "El Presidente" Platt '01 is rallying the rabble for an almost certain hockey smack of Saybrook, and Aaron "Fear my bowling shirt" Crowell '02 is having moral qualms about whether or not it's right to beat other colleges by so many pins.

Fourth place is merely a temporary spot for the true intramural warriors of the new millennium. SM2K is the bug that just keeps biting; and you'll all get your fair share of stings before these 10 weeks are through.

(Compiled by the author of the Intramural volleyball power rankings, and the hypothetical fake ID that, as of Wednesday, he no longer needs.)
