...that's for sure, and most fraternity boys and sorority girls, myself included, like to go wild on the big Winter Carnival weekend, but you made it sound as though every male on campus is out to "score" and every Dartmouth female is obese, boring and uglier than sin.

Others, like Paper Chase, have been switched around so often that no one knows from week to week where they will be-a scheduling sin now committed by all the networks.
