Correction: Johnnies will be hoisting the bronze and walnut at roughly 4pm EST this season instead of the aforementioned 2pm EST as the game start time has been changed to 1pm in a move made obviously to accomodate Johnny Red's loyal army of tailgaters to allow them to have an extra couple hours for various shenanigans and tomfoolery.

and in a move that will lower johnnie student attendance, Saint John's students will be taking final exams on that delightful saturday afternoon(i would hate to be a student missing the game b/c I had to take a final during game time)

I just received a pic of the previosly mentioned Holy Grail.


I sure hope that's Hamm's being consumed out of it!

One of my prouder moments...unfortunately not Hamm's, just keg beer

just more info. about the tasers--
Funding for the tasers has been put on "hold" and that amount has been put towards the emt squad which is awesome

Here is what the shirts will say.  The only problem is the girls selling the t-shirts need to put down a $500 deposit today and they only started trying to sell them yesterday so they don't have much money yet(although I guess in that time they did get around 200 orders)

UST and your Neighborhood brothel,
Neither can field a decent football team and their girls are about the same

I personally have not noticed any reason why tazers would be needed by life safety officers.  Another major problem people have with this is the on campus EMTs are having difficulty getting needed funding-they are part of Life Safety's budget.  Life Safety did not request any additional funding for the EMTs but asked for tazers instead.  I personally feel it is more beneficial for the University to have a funded EMT squad than Life Safety officers with tazers.  Here is part of an email sent out by the SJU senate.


Did you know...
...At SJU graduation in May, EMTs (part of Life Safety's budget) couldn't accommodate visitors who needed wheelchairs, so they had to borrow wheelchairs from the Monastery while some monks sat in bed all day with no means of mobility?

Life Safety, why would you buy weapons when we need wheelchairs???


here is another part from a different e-mail


Whereas, Life Safety Services, in its budget request, has neglected the needs of the St. John's EMT Squad, and has requested the purchase of advanced non-lethal weaponry,

Whereas, the St. John's EMT Squad provides an invaluable service to the St. John's community,

Whereas, the St. John's EMT Squad needs a collapsible stretcher, stair chair, radio pagers, duty parkas, vacuum splints, and anatomical models to ensure the health and safety of members of the community,

Whereas, the St. John's Senate By-laws preclude the Senate from funding such non-programmatic institutional needs,

Whereas, the St. John's Senate has called for institutional funding of the St. John's EMT Squad,

Whereas, this is the first budgetary period in which the University has sole funding responsibility for such needs,

Whereas, St. John's University prides itself on strength of community,

Whereas, past and current efforts by the Department of Campus Life have improved student to Life Safety Officer relations,

Whereas, the purchase, presence, and use of tasers by Life Safety Services would severely degrade community atmosphere, and strain student to officer relations,

Whereas, the St. John's Senate commits to encouraging community, officer, and student safety through enhanced campus dialogue,

Be it resolved, that the St. John's Senate categorically condemns the acquisition of tasers for Life Safety Services,

Be it resolved, that the St. John's Senate strongly recommends the University fully fund all EMT capital requests for fiscal year 2006, and future EMT training under the proposed Campus Life Fee.

This motion was passed unanimously by the St. John's Senate including the following members:

Chaphalkar                Hansen                    Osborne
Dart                            Majerus                    Sorenson
Fischer                       McCarron                VanGuilder  
Flynn                          Mosier                     Voigt
Fortune                       Nelson

The only way I could justify this is using them against an unruly Tommie fan.

WHY?

TOMMIES SUCK!!!

I am currently a SJU senior and have been reading posts this year, but I have never written on this board before.  The reason I am writing this post is Life Safety has REQUESTED funding for tasers next year which I believe could dramatically change the atmosphere on-campus including during home football games.
