HCK: Tell us a little bit about your involvement in planning parties? Casey: I was in charge of food and wine and beer for soiree. But they messed up one of the beers, so if you had a bad beer its not my fault. Also my roommate and I DJ-ed the last half hour. Philander’s Ball is february 15th from 9:30-12:30. Lucy Phillips and Emma Strickler and I, who are all on SCC, saw that Phebruary Phunds applications were due the day before we had to turn them in so we did it. You should all come. Everyone’s invited. Except your weird uncle.
