Renegade Newsletter Pulls Wool over eyes of Fledgling MSAC leadership

ÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝ They came. They spoke. They left with $67 of your money.

ÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝ In their wake, an assembly of flustered MSAC representatives sat trying to reconstruct the scene that had culminated in a vote to grant the former AntiCrist probational MSAC membership and to reimburse its publishers almost $70 for expenses.

ìWhat just happened?î asked Cristy Otis, finally breaking the two minutes of bewildered silence that followed the exit of team AntiCrist.

Otis later confessed, ìWe all feel a little used. They came in here with their fancy suits and their slick presentation. It was like the Music Man in Gary, Indiana taking the whole town for a ride with a car full of sweet nothings and empty promises. What can I say, we just wanted to believe.î

And believe they did, as team AntiCrist, a contingent of three students who shall remain nameless, waxed prolific about goals and priorities, principles and changes in direction, and flat out fooled the inept leadership of MSAC into approving the inclusion of a newsletter called ìThe BeardedDeanî as a legitimate MSAC organization.

In a statement to the OMEN, first-day MSAC president Andi Slaughter accepted responsibility for the incident.

ìTonight, they made a mockery of the MSAC. We were duped and it happened on my watch. I apologize to all my constituents, who expected more of me in this position. I would like to continue as your MSAC president, if youíll have me. If not, I will willingly step aside.î

M2 class president Chris Hempel was quick to come to Slaughterís defense.

ìThis was a lot for Andi to take on her first night,î he said. ìThese guys were real good, theyíd done their homework and knew that tonight theyíd face a virgin executive panel, unwise to the rules of the game. No, I blame Jean Ann (Dymott). She was like putty in their hands. They worked her and plucked her strings in just the right way. When she fell under the spell, from her spot at the head table, the rest of us tumbled in turn, like a row of dominoes.î

The lone dissenting vote came from M2 Surya Rednam, who later described the experience as ìa regular Kansas City hoodwinking.î

ìThis pack of schlemiels that calls itself the MSAC should be ashamed,î Rednam said. ìWeíre supposed to be representing our fellow students, not lining up to have the wool pulled over our eyes.îÝ

Team AntiCrist, though not reached for comment, was later seen walking to the parking garage, exchanging high fives and shoulder punches, one member pausing to strum a riff on air guitar. As they disappeared into the garage, one witness reported hearing a shout of ìSuckers!î followed by a loud cackle.

According to sources at WalMart, 415 Conley Rd., three young men matching the description of the meetingís attendees were seen later that night, purchasing two cases of Kaluha, three ìIím with Stupidî T-shirts, and a Nerf Football.

ìThe bill came to like sixty five dollars,î a cashier said. ìOne of them said something about how that left them another two dollars to spend. So they each grabbed a Baby Ruth and that was that. Oh, and their suits. Real slickî
