Pierson
The other colleges have fallen on bent knee, proclaiming the heroic political efforts of Piersonites this fall. Refusing to herd themselves like cattle to the intramural fields, Piersonites remained home in silent protest. The known leader of the protest, Patrick Bock '00, spoke for the college: "Why don't they just knock down the ghetto and move the fields closer? You don't expect me to ride a bus, do you?" Many other creative excuse-makers have spoken of the college's dedication to abstinence, like: "I really need a nap," and "Lots of work, lots of work." And my personal favorite: "Sorry, but I'm working out at the gym." Where does that bus to the fields leave from again?In all seriousness, Pierson enters the winter season ready to overcome its previous challenges. Only a short walk from our Park Street gate, Payne Whitney is well known as Pierson's slaughtering ground. Jeff "The Stalk" Hockenbrock '00 maintains Pierson's A-hoops prowess as the team promises to bring home the shirts once again. Pierson will continue its reign of volleyball terror as Daniela "The Rock" Ricciardi '01 and Tom "The Thunder" Lo '00 return for another season. At the rink, Pierson seeks to continue its bloody winning streak in ice hockey. Keith "Wrist Brace" Wesolowski '00 says, "It's time to get serious about IM bowling." Jay "El Guapo" Ozuna '00 says, "Bring on the beer and watch me whiz this thing, I'm gonna break the all-time bowling speed record." Regardless, it will prove an interesting season.
