Resident tutors offer a variety of services—everything from advising on course selection to hosting study breaks—and different visions abound on just what a tutor’s proper role...
Attempts to increase female attendance at parties abound all over campus, even extending as far as parties where the theme is, quite literally, “Bring Girls!” These practices encourage the myth that the number of girls a guy can convince to accompany him to a party is an indicator of his worth. Some organizations even go to extreme lengths to increase the girl to guy ratio. In order to attempt to decrease the number of (male) party crashers, these groups inform their members of parties via last second phone calls. This situation is not exclusive...

In fact, guitarist/keyboardist Chris Walla rarely even makes eye contact with the audience, and bassist Nick Harmer pays most of his attention to drummer Jason McGerr. Perhaps this is too much at times, but the underlying innocence and musical devotion implicit in these mannerisms...
