While watching yesterday's Presidential debates, the Band was inspired to new heights of boredom. Our thoughts digressed to different ways in which the US can pick its presidents

With Halloween almost upon us, Princeton students are finally happy that their wardrobe consists almost entirely of Orange and Black. Students aren't the only ones getting in to the holiday spirit, though. With the annual Faculty Halloween Party coming up, we thought we'd spill the beans on what some of our favorite faculty members are dressing up as.

Recently, Proposition 8 was passed in California, causing outrage among the gay community. However, a lot of resolutions were passed in other states that were not as publicized, yet are just as outrageous. For example:

Alex Barnard, I mean Alexander V. Barnard was born the love child of a pair of yellow-crested cockatiels. The two love-birds couldn't afford to keep their child, so they abandoned him in a dumpster outside the Citadel barracks. His adoptive parents passed by, and decided to dumpster dive themselves a wonderful freegan baby. They raised him on liberal amounts of birdseed, which instilled in him an unquenchable desire for vegan imitation food. He went through a punk phase during his adolescence, which he is still in. His adolescence, I mean. A few weeks ago, he was arrested and imprisoned for falsifying his identity while attempting to illegally take the LSAT. After 3 days in prison, Alex was able to slice through his cell bars using naught but his extremely sharp Adam's apple. Once he broke out of prison he grew out a ridiculous-looking Mohawk as a disguise. You see him now, an emaciated shell of his former self. Forming a lambda or Alex's favorite food: lamb, duh! The band plays "Bulldog".

With the new James Bond movie released last Thursday, the Band has sparked and interest in the classic Ian Fleming novels. However, upon extensive research into the circumstances surrounding the creation of the series, we discovered some rejected titles of previous Bond movies. For example:
