[Band scrambles on]

Lehigh, we need to talk. We were hoping one of your closer friends in the patriot league would say something, but it’s been twelve years now and someone has got to tell you: Changing your mascot from the engineers to the mountain hawks was dumb. I mean, we understand maybe wanting to get away from your railroad roots, but doesn’t ‘mountain hawks’ seem like kind of a big jump? I mean, the mountain hawk isn’t even a real animal. Maybe you should have started with something a little closer to home, like say:

• The ORFE’s
• The Stokers
• or the Fighting Jesuses from Bethlehem?

But if you insist on having a fictional animal as your mascot, we have a few suggestions that might be a little fiercer-sounding than the mountain hawks. Perhaps:

• The Gryphons
• The Sasquatches
• The Loraxes
• The Hippopotami
• The Chupacabras
• or even the Ligers

However, we don’t really expect you to take our advice, so forming an ‘L’ for ‘lame mascot’, the band plays “O’ little town of Bethlehem”

As we’ve walked along Elm Drive of late, we can’t help but look back and forth between the former Butler and the brand-new Whitman and reflect on how much the University’s style has changed over the past few decades. For example,

• While Butler was equipped with bike racks on the roofs, Whitman has Segway racks on the roofs
• Butler could contain rioting students, but Whitman can repel pillaging Ostragoths
• Every closet door in Butler had instructions for what to do in the event of a nuclear attack, Whitman closets have instructions for what to do if your air conditioner breaks
• Butler’s cumbersome and confusing building names like 1941 and 1942 have been replaced with concise, easy-to-remember ones like Murley-Pivirotto Family Tower
• Whitman has special trash rooms to keep unsightly garbage out of view, whereas Butler’s appearance was improved by liberally distributed rubbish heaps
• Butler had waffle ceilings, but Whitman has plasma screen TV ceilings that display pictures of waffles

Of course, the most ironic thing is that Butler was designed to be the dorm of the future, but Whitman is designed to be the dorm of the past. The band salutes Princeton’s bold strides into the 1850’s by forming the remains of Butler and playing the “Time Warp.”

(Band forms rubble and plays “Time Warp”)

One of the most unfailing signs of the beginning of the academic year, aside from the return of the borough police to Prospect street, is the appearance of clumps of confused freshman wandering around campus. Of course, this is usually just a few hapless souls looking for Richardson, or a couple trying to sneak into Cannon on a Wednesday night. This year, the confusion reached a new peak as the freshmen were pressed into an orientation scavenger hunt. We couldn’t help but wonder, what exactly were they searching for? Was it:

• An unlocked entrance to the steam tunnels
• Jimmy Hoffa’s body
• Donald Rumsfeld’s marbles
• A housing reassignment for their doubles in Lourie-Love
• A sober person in TI on a Saturday night
• The sword of Gryffindor
• Karim
• A non-Freudian sculpture
• The package room in Frist
• The Northwest Passage
• A place on campus from which you cannot see a construction site
• An English-speaking professor in Fine Tower

Of course, they’ll all go crazy trying to find any of those things. Forming insanity, the band plays Basketcase.

Recently, Senator Hillary Clinton proposed that all newborns be given $5000 dollars. We couldn’t help but wonder, what are they going to spend it on? Will it be:

• gold-plated pacifiers
• 4 tons of imported pureed banana mush
• Armani diapers
• Rolls-royce strollers
• More of those delicious lead-paint chips
• A diamond rattle
• A king-size, four-post crib
• A Roth IRA with a reasonable rate of return and flexible withdrawal conditions

​Now that the second week of school is over, the deadline to add and drop classes has passed. You know what that means? It means it’s time for the your professors to drop all the pretenses and show their true selves, because, guess what? You’re stuck with them now! Here’s some of what you can expect to see, come Monday.

• Your preceptor no longer bothers to bathe
• Your professor tells you that there’s a typo on the syllabus, and where it says ‘optional’, it should say ‘mandatory’
• Your NES class moves on from Mario and Duckhunt to the geopolitical dynamics of oil shocks
• Your intro chem lab is STILL about titration
• Your academic advisor reveals himself to be a cardboard cutout.
• The Whitman dining hall now serves only stale bread and RC cola
• Your professor moves his office hours to 4:30 AM, and his office to the Forrestal Campus
• Your problem sets no longer consist entirely of Connect-the-dots
• Your hot professor pulls off her mask to reveal that she is actually Robbie George

Hey, Columbia. Sure, there was a lot of uproar surrounding Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad speaking on your campus, but who really heard anything about his speech beyond his claims that there are no homosexuals in Iran? Well, as a public service, we thought we’d tell you a few points from his speech that seem to have somehow escaped coverage.

• Iranians can turn invisible, but only when foreigners aren’t looking.
• Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Kim Jong Il won an Olympic silver medal in Ice Dancing
• Iran invented every single element on the periodic table, except plutonium, which they know nothing about
• Ahmadinejad once strangled a bear – with a shark!
• Ahmadinejad is the real killer that OJ has been searching for
• Those nuclear programs aren’t for military purposes, they’re for having a really awesome 4th of July …
• The only IED’s Iran has been sending to Iraq have been Infidel Eating Donkeys.

And now, under the the direction of Al Frente ’69 PhD Doctor of Bandology, it’s the Princeton University Band! With track star Marion Jones’ recent admissions of steroid usage, the problems of doping are more than ever in the public eye. Responding to increased concern, the Ivy League has decided to be proactive and institute new standards which exceed existing NCAA regulations. As a result, there will be increased scrutiny on all sorts of groups on campus, except, of course, sprint football, because, c’mon, really. The impacts of these new rules have already been felt by the campus community.

• Terrace Club’s intramurals teams have been declared ineligible to a man.
• The DARPA car has been suspended from the competition for using performance-enhancing fuels.
• The USG was caught using THC, PCP, LSD and HPV

Of course, the group that has been hardest hit has been the band, which is why we only have 50 members today instead of our usual 300. Unfortunately, this means our plans to spell out a script Hampton on the field will have to be reduced somewhat. Forming a small ‘h’, the band plays “He’s a Pirate!”

Colgate! Good to see you…wait a second…you’re not Colgate. Who are you people? (pause as if being told something off microphone) Hampton? You’re Hampton? Well, I’ll tell you what. Since you guys are new here, let us give you a couple of recommendations for how to spend your time in Princeton. You could:

• Visit the many affordable and not at all bourgeois stores on Nassau street
• Stop by Firestone Library, which houses many rare book collections, as well as our money trees
• Go on an Orange-Key tour entirely free of blatant lies
• Have a chat with the Dean of Wicca, Nancy Malkiel
• Meet some of the many engaging and friendly socialites who frequent the Engineering Quadrangle
• Tour the Woodrow Wilson School of International affairs, which houses our tool factory, and is conveniently close to Tower Club, our toolshed

Of course, if Princeton doesn’t seem like your cup of tea, we recommend that you look outside the Ivy League. Say, at Penn, for example. But we certainly hope we made a better impression on you than that. Welcoming Hampton to Princeton, the band forms Nassau hall and plays “The Impression that I Get”

While we were playing that song, our elite team of researchers did some work, and we found out that Hampton’s mascot is the pirates. Not only that, the entire institution seems to have a piratical bent, as evidenced by some of the courses listed in Hampton’s current undergraduate announcement, such as:

• Agricultural Studies 107: Parrot Husbandry
• Economics 201: Privateering
• Geoscience 333: Finding buried treasure
• Linguistics 597: Special Topics In Phonetics: The Letter RRRRR
• Biological Engineering 458: Peg legs, Eye Patches and Hook Hands
• Computer Science 208: Intellectual Property Rights and File-sharing
• Quantum 101: The Planck Length
• Chemistry 341: Molasses distillation
• Finance/Women’s Studies 109: Using your booty to get what you want.

We heard that the governor of Massachusetts was recently at Brown to pitch his plan to open casinos in his home state. This really got us thinking about the many advantages of casinos, and suddenly it came to us. Why not open a casino at Brown? Here are some of the changes we envision for the new Brown University/Casino:

• All TA’s will be replaced with cocktail waitresses
• Visiting professors will now include Barry Manilow and Tony Bennett
• Grades will now be decided by a roulette wheel, 36 P’s, 1 F and one FF
• The Rhode Island Gaming Commission will finally have something to do
• Professors will now hit on B, stay on B+
• Campus washing machines will only do your laundry on three cherries
• Brown’s second-rate reputation as an academic institution will be revitalized by the dignity and prestige associated with the gambling industry
• Chamber of Commerce will introduce the new slogan ‘Whatever happens in Providence, stays in Providence…because nobody cares’
• Dining halls will feature $5 lobster
• Instead of giving financial aid, they will just comp your losses

Browsing Brown’s website, we came across a series of stories about the worthy causes that Brown researchers have been working on. For example, chemists managed to determine exactly why dirt smells like dirt. Also, biologists succeeded in making a novel 3-dimensional petri dish. Of course, they were just trying to make a bong pipe, but the accomplishment is no less impressive. However, we figured these guys shouldn’t get all the glory, and we ought to take some time to note the achievements of others at Brown:

• The physicists have been working on ways to get Brown into the rainbow
• Anthropologists have discovered the point in history where Brown students diverged from Homo Sapiens
• Philosophers finally found the answer to the question ‘Dude, wait, what?’
• Geographers discovered that Rhode Island isn’t an island…or a road
• Botanists have…honestly, do we even need to say it?
• Archaeologists digging in Africa the Fertile Crescent unearthed a femur bone that could be the oldest human remains ever discovered, then hollowed it out and smoked through it

​This year marks John Harvard’s 400th birthday. Now, alot can change in 4 centuries, and we though it might bring some interesting perspective to consider what things the old boy would notice if he were still around today.

• Harvard still hasn’t figured out what exactly a crimson is
• Now, 90% of the students graduate with honors, while in John’s time, 90% graduated with smallpox
• Harvard does not have E.D., which is impressive for a 400-year-old institution
• The Big Dig is still not done

Al Gore, was recently awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace for his documentary warning about global warming. However, some naysayers have claimed that Al Gore didn’t deserve his prize. To dispute this, we’d like to contrast his case with some of the more questionable Nobels that have been given out.

• Larry Summers received the Nobel prize in Women’s Studies
• The Jolly Green Giant received the Nobel Peas Prize
• Carrot Top narrowly beat out Slobadan Milosevic for the Nobel Prize in being Hated By Everyone
• Bill Belichick won the Nobel prizes in Cinematography, Ethics, and Fashion, but they were all revoked, because he cheats
• Miss Teen South Carolina was awarded the Nobel Prize in cartography
• Dan Quayle received the Nobel Prize for his documentary ‘A Convenient Truth,’ which demonstrated conclusively that bunnies are fuzzy…except for the shaved ones
• All the residents of Pennypacker hall were collectively awarded the Nobel prize in Scabies-I mean chemistry

In light of all these, it doesn’t seem so bad that Mr. Gore, Harvard class of ’69, got a prize. He can keep it on his shelf next to the one he got for inventing the internet. And besides, he assures us he won’t let it go to his head. Saluting the Harvard’s humble harbinger of heating, the band plays ‘You Can Call Me Al”

Harvard’s been in the news a lot lately, what with inaugurating its first female president. As a result, universities around the nation have struggled to gain the spotlight with other dramatic institutional changes. For example:

• Michigan’s football team lost to a Division I-AA school
• Juilliard has brought back castradi
• The University of Phoenix hired its first professor to have graduated high school
• OSU decided to add an academic department to balance its many athletic departments
• Bob Jones University created the world’s first department of Non-evolutionary biology
• Tulane altered its graduation uniform, adding beads, and removing the gown
• Harvard was ranked as the first-[pause]-runner-up in the U.S. news and world report college rankings.

Danananananana Greg Snyder, It’s the Princeton University Band! We’d like to dedicate this pregame to our esteemed President, Gregory Frantz Snyder. Greg began his life as a 49-year old chain-smoking, out of work steel foreman in Allentown, Pennsylvania. However, an encounter with a quantum singularity simultaneously made him 31 years younger and sparked a lifelong interest in cosmology. He was then recruited by Princeton to be a sexual health adviser, a job at which he excelled thanks to his extensive experience with the only 100% reliable method of contraception. Desperately searching for something to bang, he joined the Princeton Band as a drummer. He quickly ingratiated himself with the ruling elite by virtue of his immaculate coiffure and commanding stern look. He then staged a coup with the popular support of the band after promising to return to them the pants that were so wrongly taken away. However, he quickly reneged on his promises, and he has no idea that we’re planning to assassinate him after this show. Sssshhhh…don’t tell him.

• Invite all your exiled rivals back to the country for a surprise black-tie gala, then cancel it at the last minute and make them feel really awkward
• Replace the Pakistani supreme court with a wheel of parmesan cheese
• Start a facebook group, 1,000,000 strong for Pervez Musharraf
• Since Bush’s unpopularity has sapped his foreign support, consider befriending a more popular regime, like the ones in Myanmar or North Korea
• Rebrand himself as The Legitimately Elected Leader Formerly Known As Pervez Musharraf
• Pool party!
• Rename the capital from Islamabad to Islamagood!
• Distract your populace from their terrible lives with balloon animals, or if that doesn’t work, try shooting them

Of course if none of those work, we’re pretty sure you and India could come up with something to draw everyone’s attention. Forming a a nuclear bomb, the band plays “99 Luftballoons”
