BOOZE & BOWLZeta inaugurated a booze-and-bowl event of its own this week, two days before Kappa’s annual Rock & Bowl rager on Tuesday. Details are scarce on the Zeta event. Bobb-McCollough prez and Zeta sophomore Amy Wang, in true Bobb form, fell and hit her head en route to the event’s buses and decided to stay in for the night. The Kappa soiree had its fair share of hiccups, but nothing like last year’s cop-punching fireworks. Revelers arrived early to the venue, which was booked until midnight. “The bouncer was not amused,” one attendee reports. The crowd stormed the doors, but staff didn’t turn down the lights and turn up the pop until about half an hour later. Beyond that, memories get foggy, but we do know a guy dressed up as Garth from Wayne’s World went home early with “a bloody face.” Again, details scarce…THE LAVINE WAYWhen Medill Dean John Lavine visited the students working at the newsroom in D.C. he insisted that the new market for 3G phones is in India and China. Maybe he is onto something here but, as seems to be the Lavine way – as we have been reminded more than once in the past week – he had nothing to back up his claims with. When asked by a student about the economic disparities in these countries effecting that sort of technological advancement, he completely dodged the question. These people don’t have access to water, how are they going to play with 3G phones?HOSPITAL VISITScott Hall is investigating Lodge, alleging a Valentine’s Day party at the frat Saturday night sent a prospie to that freshmen-only spot, the emergency room at Evanston Hospital. North Campus’ “raging kegger” didn’t stop crowds from pouring into The Keg. Did the prospie go there too? We’re pretty sure she can’t confirm that one…HOOTERS ON STEROIDSStacey Cusack, an account executive with Bender/Helper Impact wrote in to let us know that Lionsgate is releasing Still Waiting this week. It’s the “sequel to the hilarious restaurant comedy Waiting,” in case you didn’t know. We’re including this because the movie stars NU alum Rob Benedict – also a member of an indie rock band – and an alum with a job is news worth printing. Cusack’s short synopsis of Still Waiting: “Benedict reprises his role of Calvin from the original, only this time, he’s the manager of the brand new Ta-Ta’s Wing Shack next door (think Hooters on steroids)!”ETIQUETTE LUNCHEON Mark your datebooks, sisters. This year’s Rho Lambda etiquette luncheon will be more than about “how to hold a fork and knife!” Or so says the Evite for the March 1 event. “We want our women to be take-charge leaders who know how to get things done!” What, you can’t do things with forks and knives? It’s a challenging economy, but people really do get feet in doors with their Greek status. One senior, interviewing for jobs, flubbed the Kappa handshake after her interviewer, a fellow sister, prompted the greeting. Guess who’s unemployed…
