The following "Letter from the Editors" (printed in the program for last night's event) set the tone for the entire evening:"...Many people say that this a politically apathetic campus.Well, they certainly got THAT part right!They say that LMU students don't care don't care about worldly issues. The critics believe that this evening will be a failure. They think that students won't show up for this once in a lifetime event. They think that we wont't be mature enough to allow the speakers to express their views. They don't think that this university is ready to join the elites.
But on Thursday night, we the student body of LMU will once again prove our critics wrong.
The university is having an awakening, and this event will be an indication of what's to come.
We will greet two of the biggest names in politics with dignity and respect
..."It must be a RELIGIOUS school thing. :o)If last night's event was a test, LMU passed with flying colors! Not only did they prove that they had good manners, they turned out in MUCH LARGER numbers than the nay-sayers had predicted, completely overwhelming the tiny venue chosen this FIRST of what now may be MANY similar events.
Both Ann and the Serpenthead seem to have been surprised by the very different (i.e., thoughtful, and RESPECTFUL) kind of audience that they encountered last night during their "back-to-back" appearances at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles last night, which were part of "First Ammendment Week," sponsored by the LMU student newspaper, the Loyolan.
Not sure about Carville, but I understand that Ann generally encounters a MUCH DIFFERENT reception on a OTHER college campi -- where she has had to deal with pie-throwing goons, and disruptors blasting loud music through the PA system during her speech, to drown out her voice.
Our small group of FReepers (and FRiends of Ann) who were able to get inside saw virtually NO protestors outside, and only TWO (rather lame) attempts to heckle her inside...More soon.
"I love you Ann Coulter – I want to have your baby if you promise not to eat it!"
That's a very demeaning statement to make to a woman and a lawyer! However, I'm sure Ann would've had a great comeback if she'd heard it.
Catholic Schools showing the Vagina Monologues: Loyola MarymountFWIW, it appears that the LMU showing of the "Vagina Monologues" that they report ALREADY HAPPENED - two years ago.
Check out the USA Today story posted on 3/2/2004:
'Vagina Monologues' becoming college phenomenonAnd, I do NOT see LMU on the CURRENT list of "participating schools" posted HERE:USA Today is on Free Republic's "link only, do NOT post" list. :(
www.vday.org/contents/vcampaigns/college/schoolsIt might be worth going to the one at CalTech, though -- since it is advertised as (Sign Interpreted)
I would REALLY like to see that speech again -- when they replay it.

What is the exact date in April? I went to their Web site and couldn't find anything about the 2006 banquet.
Yeah, Connecticut has several nicknames: Nutmeg State, Constitution State, Land of Steady Habits, etc. The Nutmeg State tale is kind of strange:
The Nutmeg State: Nutmeg, the powder used for seasoning foods, is ground from the seed of the fruit of the Nutmeg Tree, Myristica fragans. A couple of stories exist as to the origin of this nickname. One story has it that this nickname came about as a comment on the ingenuity and shrewdness of the citizens of the state. In a story, perhaps originated by Sam Slick, it is claimed that the people of Connecticut were so ingenious and shrewd that they were able to make and sell "wooden" nutmegs to unsuspecting buyers. A variation on this story maintains that purchasers did not know that the seed must be ground to obtain the spice and may have accused yankee peddlars, unfairly, of selling worthless "wooden" nutmegs. It may be that these wooden nutmegs were whittled by idle sailors on ships coming from the spice island and sold as souvenirs.
And, ANN is from Connecticut, right?
I believe she is originally from New Canaan, CT in Fairfield County - bedroom community of NYC.
So, are YOU from Connecticut?What did you think about the UCONN students/staff who tried to disrupt Ann's speech there?
On my rhings to do list for Monday: find out about getting tickets.
Again, thanks for calling this to our attention.
Notice it doesn't say "improved". The only way to improve on Coulter is have TWO Coulters...
GOOD! My third cousin is a dean there.
Great thread. BUMP!
Wondeful thread..thanks...but I hve just one small question....just how did they arrive at the number $4.87 for the cost of the poster..?

I don't know why in the world those Jesuits would invite a clown like James Carville to speak...I thought that they would be smarter than that!!

I thought that they would be smarter than that!!It's called "balance." :o)
Some at the university apparently felt that inviting Ann to speak unopposed would be too DIVISIVE.LOL!
They even had "crisis management" teams on hand from Student Housing after her speech -- so that any damaged psyches could talk about their hurt feelings. REALLY!
(As it happens, those post-Ann "counseling sessions" were very poorly attended, if at all.)
I done told Mary that we should have sex at least one moe time before I dieLOLOL!and she asked if I could wait till she got blind drunk again.
It's hard to figure out what she see in him: perhaps his MIND?I understand that love is supposed to be BLIND...It's CERTAINALY not his BODY...
...or his SOUL.
...but does it also have to be DEAF, and DUMB???From www.bobadler.com
On my rhings to do list for Monday: find out about getting tickets.Sorry to be such a NOODGE...
...but WE had a VERY HARD time getting tickets for OUR event.Or, you could try contacting the Young Americas Foundation directly...(Doctor Raoul may be able to help.)
...if THAT university administration is as difficult to deal with as LMU was.From www.yaf.org:
If you would like to attend one of these lecture events, please contact Patrick X. Coyle at 800-USA-1776 for more information.
The New Ann Coulter
Notice it doesn't say "improved".See also, from her publisher's website, www.randomhouse.com/crown:The only way to improve on Coulter is have TWO Coulters...
GOOD!Is your cousin on OUR side?My third cousin is a dean there.
The newly re-forming LMU College Republicans MAY need a new faculty adviser.Perhaps he could RECOMMEND someone, if he does not want to take the heat himself.
