SPS Hapenings

This week:

• Results of the Emergency Run-off Election
• A reminder about the Cookout...again
• This week's Colloquium

Results of the Emergency Run-off Election

The votes have been counted, falsified, verified, altered, alliterated, and counted again and the winner is--drum-roll if you please (you can't hear it, but there's a drum-roll)--Jessica Fischer!!!

Huzzah! We have the exact same person for whom we voted in the first place. If that isn't democracy, then...well technically it's a representative government, so it's more like the classical idea of a Republic, but whatev'.

Cookout Reminder

In case you didn't know--and you should've known--the SPS is having a Cookout in Memorial Mall on Tuesday 22 April 2008 AD (in the Gregorian Calendar, Cody) from around eleven-ish ante meridiem until whenever the food runs out.

So, tell your friends, tell your roommates, tell your professors, tell your TAs, tell your parents, tell you aunts (but under no circumstances are you to tell your uncles), and generally tell everyone you can to come out and support the SPS by getting free food.

Colloquium (And Lunch)

What's this? More free food? Yes, there is a colloquium lunch this week (as well as a colloquium). There's still time to sign up, but spaces are filling. If you haven't experienced it before, the colloquium lunch is a great time to meet the speaker in a more intimate (but not TOO intimate) setting. Also, the food is free.

This week's colloquium will be given by Saul Teukolsky of Cornell Univeristy on "Black Holes and Gravitational Waves". So, come and learn something. Or pretend to learn something as the subject matter makes a whooshing sound over your head as you come to the slow realisation that maybe, just maybe, you shouldn't be in physics.
