The Minnie R.

This issue of the Minnie R. is starring:
Cayce, as Sandy
Vickie, as Cha-Cha
Kristin, as Frenchie, and
Christina, backup singer clad in silver for "Beauty School Dropout." Hey, what happened to Danny Zuko and Kinecki?

Danny doesn't drink tea...
but the Japanese do. Just a reminder that dinner at Wasabi is at 5pm on Thursday for those who signed up. Price range $9- 11.50, but you get a $3 discount if you paid your house dues.

There are no little people in Grease...
but there are at the Neighborhood House. We are doing a Thanksgiving program with turkey, games, and fun for the kids on Monday, Nov. 20 starting at 3pm. Informational meeting isv Wednesday, Nov. 15 at 9pm in the den. Or talk to Jane if you're interested in going and can't make the meeting.

Sandy was a cheerleader...
but not for the Madison Monsters. If you are interested in going to games second semester, sign up by the 'vators by midnight on Sunday, Nov.19 or talk to Laura.

Grease Quote:
"Tell me about it... Stud."
--Sandy Olson

Mark, our custodian, says that Detling House is one of the best floors he cleans!

The students in Grease never went to class...
but we have to sign up for some. Maree Elowson, the Honors dean, is hosting an advising session in the den on Monday, Nov. 20 from 6-7:30pm. Bring a transcript with L&S indicators and a catalog from 104 South Hall or 10 Ingraham. This will be followed by a Q&A session about classes and profs. Anyone who wants to share opinions on current or past profs, talk to Amy.

John Travolta was in Grease...
but Jon Schwabish was not. To quell his envy, he is planning a chat about Affirmative Action in the den. See Jon for details, and watch Grease to see beautiful John.

The Pink Ladies and the T-Birds hang out at the ice cream shop...
but you can eat ice cream and pizza in the den on Dec. 6 at the next house meeting. Watch for a sign up for pizza.

Psychic Weather Report:
It will rain on Prom night, so don't lose your corsage or let your mascara run.
