As dig sites and scaffolding remain in place for longer and longer, things are starting to look serious for the dwindling population of these majestic animals.

The Administration reported Monday that according to tests performed last week, the only toxins in the building’s air were the ones brought in by the residents themselves. David Adamson, the director of affairs at I-House, stated plainly that the fumes were not caused by lead in the paint applied to the radiators. “I just want to make it clear that it was those damn dirty foreigners,” said Adamson. Previous tests performed by the safety office concluded that the level of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were well below federal limits. After continued complaints from I-House residents, however, the administration agreed to further testing of the air. The results, according to Mary Dodds, the I-House staff member who oversaw the testing, spoke for themselves. “Although there was no detect- able amount of lead fumes to be found anywhere in the I-House, the smell of sweaty Puerto Ricans was overpowering. It was well over the federal stench limits,” Dodds said. It was also discovered that the smell of Korean kimchi chemically bonded with the smoke from Chinese opium to create new toxins that Dodds had “never encountered before.” In addition, the stink of Cuban cigars had stained the walls of the I-House. The inspectors also discovered combinations of VOCs previously unreported in the developed world. “Quite frankly, there is a dangerous, if not fatal, concentration of Indian curry, Australian ‘roo hides, and British teeth in the building. I’m surprised this place hasn’t already been shut down,” Dodds said. The administration was pleased to report along with the new results a plan for dealing with the fumes. “The walls of the I-House are going to be sprayed with good ol’ American apple pie, beer, and barrel after barrel of unrefined crude oil. F u t u r e The structure will then be razed, and the land will become the site for the new National House,” Adamson said. “We’re all very excited about this; it’s going to be an entirely new I-…er, House.” Current I-House residents, who have been complaining of nausea and headaches from the noxious fumes since last October, had much to say about the recent development. “Alright, so maybe the fumes weren’t from the paint on the radiators,” said Nigel Ryans, an I-House resident from England. “But it wasn’t me; I brush regularly. It’s those damn French.” “We have done nothing wrong,” replied Michel Legrange, admitted Frenchman. “It’s the Russians, the Russians and their Russian Communism.” But not every resident of International House can be taken to task for the smells; some of them aren’t even from foreign countries. “I don’t even know why I live here,” commented grad student Peter Smith. “I’m from New Jersey.” E r e c t i o n s Randel Concerned New Dorm Not Phallic Enough By C. H. Kim, N. Kuschinski, N. Green In an exclusive interview with Don Randel last week, the President expressed his extreme dissatisfaction with the progress made in the design of the new dorm to replace the Shoreland in 2008: “After $100,000,000 we’ve only got the shaft. The balls and the head are still missing!” He exclaimed while waving a crudely drawn picture of his own plans in his left hand. It is true that the design of the new dorm is certainly less phallic than the original designs he had proposed to the Dorm Committee in 2004. The need for a more phallic design is part of Randel’s lame duck initiative to make the Univeristy much more masculine and to stifle complaints that Max P just “did not fit in with the rest of the campus”. It is also strongly suspected that President Randel wants to leave behind a monument to his tenure which says “I am glad that I got out of there just in time!” The original design mirrored Ran- del’s plans more closely, but the large round “testicular” formations at the base were removed in the final draft. Similarly, atop the tower, Randel had planned to include a decorative garden, featuring a prominent geyser-like fountain. “It’s just not fair!” bemoaned Randel, “That was the best part!”. Most students are impressed with what has been proposed so far, but Randel thinks that they are not impressed enough, and that “If A model derived from the mysteriously-stained “Randel napkin” they had seen what I had envisioned, they would be going nuts!” In- glorious future of this University--more deed, the Dealer has concluded by way than just symbolically!” of a scientific poll that the student body President Randel is saddened by is only going “Apeshit” over the new de- the whole ordeal.

Bush defended his secret wiretap and friend detail program to the American public, citing it as “a crucial step in protecting America’s borders, America’s people, and America’s…free and holy way of life” from “terrorists who commit acts of terror.” He cited that under the Patriot Act of 2001, the use of such procedures is a viable way of gathering information on suspected terrorists, such as members of Al Qaeda, the ACLU, or the people you went to summer camp with in middle school. Bush has had to defend these surveillance methods time and time again over the past few weeks, ever since the New York Times revealed that since 2002, Bush has repeatedly authorized the double-dog super-secret National Security Agency to intercept communication between suspected terrorists with- By Pat Lange, Layout Editor Curmudegeon—(n.)

Since cible, incorrigible, and downright ornery. late 2005, the Times reported, Bush has also authorized Facebook requests for friend details as part of the surveillance program. By creating a fake Facebook p r of i l e f o r O s am a b i n L ad e n (Oberlin,’75, Gender Studies Major) NSA agents were able to use the friend details function to determine the connection of suspected terrorists to the Al Qaeda leader. Bush’s actions have been widely criticized by Democrats in Congress and civil liberty advocacy groups, who have cited that the wiretaps are in violation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978. As for the friend details requests, House Minority leader Jonathan Smuckers has been quoted as saying “I speak for my Democratic colleagues and the rational people of this country in saying that they are just creepy…they’re just so…ugh…random. Yuck.” Bush has repeatedly claimed that COBBIES from page 1 Thankfully however messages have been sent in to the brand new and highly advertised complaints website, http://complaints.uchicago.edu, and action has been taken with Student Government’s usual speed and efficiency. They haven’t done a thing. PETA member and animal rights activist Julie Wardenhauser is incensed by the lack of concern on campus for these increasingly rare creatures, saying, “It’s, like, totally unfair! Smokers have, like, feelings too!” Wardenhauser vowed that the campus environmental groups will not let this stand. The local IllinoisPIRG office has committed to help the Cobbies to help by sending out teams of street canvassers to be ignored and blown off by busy students on the quads. Also, in a surprising move the mysterious RSO known as the Environmental Concerns Organization is considering coming out of hiding. We sought out the group and after a few phone calls were met in a dark alley, blindfolded, and led to the ECO’s secret lair. There, dimly lit by a lamp powered by three first years on treadmills, we received in a sealed envelope made of 100% recycled paper, an official statement from the leader only known as “The Green Shadow”: As the construction continues and the number of Cobb smokers dwindles, it is a sad thought on the minds of many students that some day soon we may never see these magnificent, strange, scowling creatures again. We at the ECO the wiretaps have been successful in detecting and preventing terrorist attacks. As for the friend details, one anonymous source told the Shady Dealer that the results have also been very useful. Not surprisingly, most of those who befriended “Osama” confirmed that they and Osama “Were Members of an Organization/Team,” “Traveled Together” (usually as part of the Afghan Experience Summer Abroad program), or “Took a Course Together” at Oberlin. A few friends chose “Lived Together,” elaborating with “in a cave,” “in an Allah-damned cave,” or in a “freezing, dark Allah-damned cave,” and one friend even said that they “Met Randomly” at “Ibrahim’s Christmas party last year.” Said our source, “Once we have Osama’s complete Social Timeline, we will have completed a crucial step in ending terrorism worldwide.” fervently hope that the construction will go away soon, and give the Cobb Smokers their natural habitat back once more. If it is not in time, the things we have come to know and love from the Cobbies—the smell the distinctive smell of burning nicotine and toxins, the sounds of wheezing, coughing, and the distinctive Cobbie mating call “Hey, got a light?”— may disappear into history forever.

Seriously…” 4 The Big VD Spread E s s a y s f r o m t h e E d i t o r s Love, Death, and Thinly Veiled Pelvic Thrusting: A Historical Perspective on Valentine’s Day By Pat Lange As another Valentine’s Day approaches, some of our readers may be asking “Why should I celebrate this depressing morass of flowers, greeting cards, and pagan rituals? Does it really mean anything to express love when it’s expected? Also, I am single, and I hate you all.” This is a compelling question, and one which must be considered carefully in light of the historical context of this, our calendar’s second-most hormonally-charged holiday (have you seen what people do on Halloween these days?). Also, we are sorry: we personally find you very attractive (call us, baby: 49467), and we’re sure you’ll meet someone eventually. The origins of St. Valentine’s lie in the ancient Roman festival of Juno, during which young men and women would be randomly paired for an evening of wholly innocent and platonic activities. After it came to power, the Catholic Church took a fairly dim view of such festivals. Enter Valentine, a priest whose gruesome death occurred on the very same V - D a y day as the festival of Juno. Valentine, as we all know, was killed under the rule of the Emperor Claudius for performing too many marriages, which were banned at the time (this is the kind of social engineering that most historians chalk up to lead poisoning). According to legend, Valentine’s still-beating heart was ripped from his chest, and then stuffed with chocolate, inspiring a later Valentine’s Day tradition. Additionally, Valentine inspired the tradition of the Valentine’s Day note, by signing his last letter, “from your Valentine.” Simultaneously, Valentine developed the tradition of priests having questionable correspondence with young girls. Saint Valentine’s Day was first associated with love in the Middle Ages, and many of the most treasured customs of the day (such as heavy drinking, running one’s rival through with a long, pointy stick, and primae noctis) originated there. However, most consider the modern celebration of the holiday to have begun in 1929, with the Saint Valentine’s Day massacre. For grand expressions of dislike, E m e r g e n c y nothing really matches Al Capone’s arranging the death of the majority of rival Bugsy Moran’s gang (the last victim to die suffered twenty-two bullet wounds in the back). The following Valentine’s Day occurred during the Great Depression, as have the following seventy-five for single people everywhere. Not that we’re bitter or anything. For many people, Valentine’s Day remains an inspiring time to commemorate love, the many ways one can use money to express it, and the many ways one can get bitched at if one does not. And, in some (mostly Welsh) cases, it is considered a prime opportunity for “Welsh love spoons,” which, for the good of our readers, we will leave unexplained. Most of our editors are, as you might have guessed, very desperately single. And we have a great sense of humor. And for all you know, we’re very goodlooking, except in our Facebook photos. And very few of us are addicted to alcohol, and even fewer to weed, and there’s maybe one or two crackheads. But we’re all addicted to your love, baby. You really mean that much to us. Girl, you know it… girl, you know it… girl, you know it’s true. Please, God, call us. S u p p l i e s Looking for that “New Vagina” Smell?

Before the accident, Erin was last seen with Cindy, whom medical authorities questioned immediately to determine what caused Erin’s state. During the questioning Cindy broke down in tears and explained that she did not intend any of this to happen. She was madly in love with Erin and had desired to make an amorous declaration of that to her on Friday night. Apparently, Cindy had fallen in love with her roommate immediately when she saw Erin, carrying a book of Sappho’s poetry, walk into their room on move-in day. Right then and there Cindy planned a gentle seduction of the innocent Classics major Erin. “I began with the little things, like massaging her back when it hurt, asking for her help with my zippers (I used to make sure they were caught just so I could have a little more intimate time with her), and doing a lot of Yoga when she was in the room,” recalls Cindy fondly. Unfortunately these little things led in the wrong direction. One day when Cindy was giving a topless Erin, who was discreetly lying on her stomach, a massage with Cucumber Melon Massage Oil from Bath and Body Works, Mark, a hallmate, entered the room and promptly fell Pure Chemistry A picture is worth a thousand words. And a good dose of painkillers is worth… well, it’s worth a lot on the black market.

Either way, we oxytocin you too. in love with Erin. “I saw that the door was ajar and thought it would be okay for me to come in. I needed help from Erin with my Latin homework. And there she was, lying serenely on her bed, looking so beautiful,” says Mark, “I always admired her academically, but then I really saw her for what she was -- a beautiful and talented woman. I asked her out the next day, and she said yes.” Enraged by the sudden turn of events, Cindy decided that she had to do something fast. “I couldn’t lose her after all the time I spent on her and not to mention all the zippers I had ruined for her.” She planned the seduction for Friday night. While Erin was in her Honors Chem lab that evening, Cindy lit scented candles and incense; she covered Erin’s bed with chocolate kisses, and put on a sexy nightie. Unfortunately Cindy stained her nightie with the chocolate she had saved for herself. “I wanted things to be perfect, so I went to the laundry room to fix it,” says Cindy. While in the laundry room, Erin came back early from her lab, dead tired, and just lay on her bed without noticing the changed ambience. The chocolate melted and got in her hair, and the scented candles, to which she had been allergic to since she was a little girl, caused her to go into anaphylactic shock after she fell asleep. Cindy soon came back and immediately called the paramedics. “I don’t know how I can stay in my dorm, let alone this school. I’m so embarrassed!” Cindy will likely move to Broadview this week.

We at the Dealer would like to present our personal preferences for the 2006 Academy Awards and are saddened and disgusted at the Academy’s taste, given that they do not agree with us in any category. BEST ACTOR: Björn Hlynur Haradsson in Eleven Men Out. All right, so unless you were at the Toronto Film Festival, you probably haven’t seen this one, but it still has great cinematic value. No, seriously. Who is really going to argue with us for nominating the actor from the movie about gay Icelandic soccer players? Come on…one of the characters is called Gøgga. B E ST A C TR ES S: O n e word : GWYNETH. We are UChicago students: to let Proof get by without a nomination just…hurts. The U of C students who invaded the AMC River East cinema (and maybe even the three Northwestern students) to see Proof during O-Week will be behind us on this: the movie is good because it was filmed on campus. P l a u s i b l e Yes, it has plot holes the size of Mexico. Yes, the math is easy enough for the 105 students. But it’s the principle of the thing! And Paltrow’s performance wasn’t, err, bad. BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR: Sir Ben Kingsley in BoodRayne. Not only is the movie at a Van Helsing standard, it has uncountable buckets of red dye number 3 – err, blood – and a truly terrifying lack of plot. Plus Ghandi plays the villain; what more could you want? BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS: Did anybody see House of Wax? No, we didn’t think so. But it had Paris Hilton in it, and we totally, completely believe she can act. Really. BEST DIRECTOR: Long underappreciated for his work on such classics as Rocki Roads’ Wet Dreams, Island Fever 3, and Forbidden Tales, director/screen writer Joone finally comes into his own with Pirates, the most expensive adult movie in history. This three disc saga of seamen, hands-on cat fights, cut-andthrust action, and breathless climaxes is tantalizingly acted by a do-everything cast. Clearly, this is more than just a Johnny Depp-less rip-off of Pirates of the Caribbean. Featured in Newsweek, winner of 11 AVN trophies, Pirates is, according to production company president Samantha Lewis, “the first true adult movie to crossover into mainstream entertainment.” Joone has created a masterpiece; what can we say? It’s big, it’s long, and it’s intensely satisfying. BEST PICTURE: No doubt such banalized main-stream efforts as King Kong, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe or The Constant Gardener will take the award for Best Picture this year, but we would like to see a film of integrity win. A film made with love and care and attention to detail; a work of stunning, cinematic brilliance; a work that stays in your mind for weeks afterwards; a ten out of ten. And, to that end, we are nominating for Best Picture the shocking examination of American capitalism interacting with the post-Soviet vacuum in Slovakia that is presented so vividly in Eli Roth’s Hostel as it explores the moralities of power, money, and commodities.

Bush. What they don’t realize, however, is that with five conservative judges, forces beckoned from down below, and out of the ground comes a spirit named Constructica, who takes her place above the scales of justice of the Supreme Court. Constructica informed the conservative judges that they had formed the League of Justice, or the “Justiceteers,” and each of them would be given powers. Chief Justice John Roberts had the power of “Destroy the Earth” with the ability to oppose environmental laws or limited military powers. Justice Antonin Scalia was given “Religious Fire” with the ability to constantly support the moral issues of the Christian Right. Justice Anthony Kennedy, the rebel of the group, has the power of “Windbag” where he lets the liberal justices believe he’s on their side and thus learn their secrets for the LoJ. Justice Clarence Thomas was given the power of “Blow Affirmative Action out of the Water”, which is pretty selfexplanatory. The judge who provides the intangibles to the group, however, is Alito, who not only has the power “Heartless”, but has a little helper monkey named “Dubya” who saves the group under the most dire circumstances. Constructica gave the group rings, and when they hold up their rings, they summon Captain Literal Interpretation of the Constitution, or Captain Lic, who fights all the enemies the conservative agenda has to face. The Justiceteers were challenged very early by 3rd Circuit Appeals Court’s Andy Activist, who tried to contest a law forcing a teenager to notify her parents about an abortion illegal. The League rode their superplane to Pennsylvania, where Judge Activist was throwing aborted fetuses into the hands of horrified parents. Luckily, they arrived just in time, and Scalia was able to use his Re- Captain Lic ligious Fire power to get the parents to He’s our hero protest and destroy a Planned ParentGonna take liberalism down to zero hood office.
