THEO HUXTABLE'S PROTEGE goes back to the future

(02/10/03 5:00am)

When I kick it with Dr. Emmitt Brown, who in 1985 perfected a time machine, we go out cruising in his DeLorean Friday nights, blasting Huey Lewis and the News. Sometimes we hit 88 miles per hour, thrusting us into the middle of Durham sometime in the future. Dressed in a puffy 80s vest, Sy-(Snootles)--and-the-Rambli(Root-Beer)-Gnome collects some Chronicles from these future years, and this weekend we stumbled upon an interesting future trend here at Duke. Apparently, the Second Annual Allen Building Lock-In on Feb. 1 began a misguided trend of revitalizing the Allen Building Takeover concept, though for somewhat less worthwhile purposes. Just so THEODORE HUXTABLE'S PROTEGE could help quell this trend, I have enclosed four different Chronicle articles from the next decade describing the Worst Ever Future Allen Building Takeovers.

Letter: Line Monitor details walk-up rules for UNC game

(02/04/03 5:00am)

There are currently over 1,000 tenters lined up for Wednesday's UNC game, but there is still room for a few hundred people to be let in from the walk-up line after all of the tenting students have been let it. The line should form with students exiting the line only to attend class, get food and attend to human needs. Soon after the line has formed, the line monitors will arrive to register the people in the line. Each individual in the line may register along with one friend, forming a two-person group. At the time of registration, only one person from the group needs to be present. Line monitors will return to the line at random, unannounced times to perform checks of the line. Each group must have at least one of its two members present at all times. At each check, new groups will be registered at the end of the list in the order they are in the line. Any group missing a check will be moved to the end of the line, behind the new groups registering at that check. There is no guaranteed grace period following checks of the walk-up line.






Line Monitor explains Georgia Tech game policy

(01/23/03 5:00am)

This Saturday, the men's basketball team will face off against Georgia Tech at noon in Cameron Indoor Stadium. Admission into Cameron will occur through the walk-up line. You can begin lining up for the game at the back entrance of Cameron on the sidewalk running in front of Card Gymnasium and Wilson Recreation Center whenever you wish. Once a significant number of people are in the line, the line monitors will register groups of up to 12 people. Two hours prior to the game, all individuals in registered groups must be in line so that I may begin admitting people into the stadium. The tenting season is in full swing.
