	Cornell has been having an interesting visitor lately.  This
guy, nicknamed "The Hooded Intruder" has been entering female suites/rooms
wings at night and fondling them, or sometimes just stand and watch them
sleep.  This guy has been doing this for about an year now and our public
safety still hasn't nabbed the guy.  On the other hand, yesterday, some
FBI agents searched a room in Dickson, took some fingerprints from the
resident and took few things with them.  There was no comment from anyone
on this subject, but I have my suspicions.

 Well, in that case the solution seems pretty obvious: move into his

I did this my freshman year to a friend when he had two friends in the room with
him.  We were on the first floor so I figured they could get out if really
necessary.  One of his friends was on crutches dues to knee surgery and
couldn't get out.  Of course she turned out to be claustrophobic and started
to hyperventilate when she realized she couldn't get out of the room.  My
friend flew out the window and ran around the building and undid our doing.
When they started screaming inside, we were lauhing in the hallway, we didn't
realize they were seriously upset.  Once the door was opened the claustrophobic
came running out of the room almost blue in the face.  We apologized and she
understood that it was just a joke.  Of course just about everyone on our
hall got penny-locked at one time or another, so I got it too.

Actually, WPI calls them 'Campus Police' and they can issue tickets, etc. From
what I've heard if you ditch tickets they go to the Worcester PD for further
action... They can also be called to assist the WPD if needed....

	This whole Omar business is pretty silly.  If Ted Frank is

senses of humor; simple censorship will not homogenize anyones
beliefs.  I suggest that the people who post about Omar start their own
group or stick to one subject heading so it can be included in a kill
file for those of us who would like to read this newsgroup without being
bothered by what we consider inane.  Of course, that would be purely a
voluntary matter. Let us not confuse simple difference in taste with

I have seen Ted Frank do this to people before.  He is

won, IMHO, single handedly.  Don't feel bad about being
suckered into it, though.  I've seen him get smart people

Judging by the incredible volume my post of Omar's filtered bio, I feel 
compelled to apologize.  I'm sorry if some people got the wrong impression.
I would like to say that I'm not racist, I do not do drugs or drink, I am not
now, nor have I ever been a member of the Gay Communist Gun Club (From a
Saturday Night Live skit, before I can get another flame war started), etc.
etc.
I do not feel what I did was malicious in any way.  As you may have read, Omar
saw and enjoyed the Jive version.  *sarcasm* I can really see how that can
be interpreted as tying Omar up and burning him at the stake.  *sigh*

Two stories:


As a first year student, one of the weirdest stories I heard
was related to the second floor pot fields.  According to 
reliable sources, some drug pushers had acquired two rooms
on the south side of the second floor of our dorm.  They then
proceeded to set up a small "pot field" in the room and began
harvesting and selling the proceeds.  They did not live in the
rooms, they only used them to grow pot in.  They were eventually
busted when the campus police say the pot through the window
(how they saw it I don't know).


The other story centered around a room in Smith Hall known as
"the bar".  Supposedly you could go to this person's room in 
the afternoon and early evening and purchase mixed drinks or
beer.  A keg was kept in a special fridge.  The University had
a dry campus policy, so all of this was strictly no-no.  The 
ULish part about this is that the bartender supposedly had a
way of getting free pop for mixing drinks that involved a 
pop machine, a quarter, and some thread!!

Here in the 4-story quads at BG there are the standard staircases at the
ends of the wings.  The stairs sort of spiral up a bit so that there is a
space in the middle of the stairwell that extends from the top floor all
they way down.  Naturally, this space begs to have things dropped down
through it.  

A somewhat less than mature resident of our wing recently found it
necessary to take a good healthy crap down the stairwell.  The happy little
turds reached their first-floor destination with a resounding *splat*.  The
unit director fined the entire hall $100 for each incident (there were
two).

Luckily for the most of us, the culprit was identified, and the city police
paid him a visit, and made his life shitty.

I worked as a nightguard during my first semester here at Bowling Green,
and the same sort of thing happened frequently with (non-previously
digested) food.  I guess it was a convenient way to clean out the
refrigerator, but unfortunately it left a nasty pile of broken glass and
slippery mayonnaise with Grey Poupon.  Not very cool for the bare-footed or
slightly intoxicated sort that always seemed to be about.

Just felt like posting.

Okay, if you couldn't guess from the title this is in regards to the assinine
flame war that was set off by my post of the Jive version of Omar's bio.  Sure,
it had been building for quite a while (a la Ted Frank), but the bio just
set it off completely.

Update:  We here at Rose, Omar and Company as someone earlier dubbed, have
been speaking with each other, apologizing, discussing, and getting things
straight in general.  From what we can determine, Omar here is not offended by
the earlier posts regarding him (those involving harmless chuckles that have
nothing to do with his skin/heritage/hearing/etc.).  We have also come to the
common conclusion that the flame war has gotten WAY out of hand.  There are
things being said that have no foundation (calling the entire campus racist
due to one post that stemmed from two students' boredom).  Ted Frank, we
would all appreciate it if you would drop your attacks on us and our campus.
We do not have any quarrels among ourselves, only with you, and we don't wish
to waste our time argueing with you.

Note:  The reason we have posted this is that Omar's girlfriend, Jennifer,
has been getting false impressions of Omar from the crap she's been reading
here.  Harmless chuckles was our original intent, not malicious slanders that
have the possibility of destroying a relationship between two people who love
each other.

So, as far as we here at Rose can tell, we would like the flame war to stop
COMPLETELY!

For example, I'm taking a Fred final tomorrow...*AAAAAUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHH*

OK... Eddie can make fun of whites, he really raked on the Chinese with the
dick jokes, he uses the black stereotypes, and he slams gays using the stereo-
type... So, what's the difference... Personally I find some of his stuff funny,
mostly his early stuff before he started using obscenities every other word.
(I don't mind them, but overuse is overuse...)

Of course a white commedian can do all the same things, except rake on blacks.
Then someone somewhere complains about racism. How about Jewish humor. Its fine
for Jewish commedians, but if your not a Jew don't touch it.

These are all stupid rules ingrained in society, all a bit to extreme for me.
I laugh at stereotyopes used in humor because I recognize them for what they 
are, exagerations, false fronts. Unfortunately there are those who take them 
seriously, that's called prejudice.

Actually I've heard some good Polish jokes....
