“Bored” Games:
Business Meetings becoming
more monotonous
B.C. Rogers: Upon entering the cafeteria
at the beginning of this semester, students immediately noticed something
very different--and no, it wasn’t the addition of yet another chicken recipe
to the Main Event line.
The change was the expansion of the cafeteria
to nearly twice its original size. Also, several smaller conference rooms
had been constructed off to the sides.
While students initially rushed to the new
addition of the building to observe the
untainted view of Whittington Hall in all
its glory from the massive arched windows--
which have since been desecrated by Scotch
tape left over from SGA elections--faculty
members could frequently be seen scuttling
through the crowd toward the isolated
conference rooms.
So what actually goes on inside these rooms?
Surely, the college President is presiding over important business meetings
or the Board of Trustees is involved in stifling negotiations to better
the future of the school and the students.
Of course, what really goes on behind closed
doors in the B. C. Rogers Student Center is all speculation and could never
be accurately relayed to spectators on the outside--until now.
Fortunately, for your reading pleasure, Whittington
Weekly staff members have
gained exclusive inside information concerning
affairs within cafeteria conference rooms
and have collaborated their accounts to form
this special report.
Four faculty members were recently seen leaving
what surely must have been an excruciating conference. The four were seen
coming out of one of the conference rooms, and under one of the faculty
member’s arms rested the popular charades-style game, “Taboo.”
Interestingly, the looks on the faculty members’
faces did not convey the reality that they had been making decisions that
could make or break the future of this institution. They actually seemed
quite jovial and lighthearted.
This event just goes to show that a little
bit of “Taboo” in this world can go a long way.
If you would like further information on the
nature of board games and their special place in the college administration,
you may call the business office. Or, if you would like to make a monetary
donation to the college’s Board Game Fund, please contact the office of
financial affairs. -- E.Z. Mac
