November 04 News on Upcoming EventsHey everybody, Here is a breakdown of upcoming events: In-Lounge Pub Our second in-lounge pub of the year will be held this Friday in the lounge, room 208. Please bring your ID because i will be asking to see it. We stocked up on booze and bought more pilsner so we shouldnt run out this time. The theme of this in-lounge will be Go Green or Go Home so dress up in your Rider apparel. And yes, if your a Stamps fan, you can wear your stuff for that but its not recommended. Rider Trip There are about 7 tickets left, so come and buy them first come first serve. If you have already bought a couple and want another one, go right ahead, we want to sell all of them quick!!! Alright its time for to wear your Green and for a select few of you, Red. The Rider trip is here and i have a few rules and guidelines to follow: 1. Be at the school, in the lounge by 2:00pm on Saturday November 7th. 2. Bring your coffee mug and hard alcohol with mix. NO BEER or COOLERs or any drink of the sort. Hard alcohol is the way it will have to be because there is a chance we can get a ticket on this trip and it can be up to 1500 bucks. However, we are going to supply a keg (working on that one right now) and no cups will be given out, thats why you need to bring your mug and we will just fill it up with cold beer. 3. Party your ass off. 4. We will be on a school bus so pack kinda sort of lite. The weather looks good with a high of 8 degrees and mostly sunny. However, I don't know if there will be much wind so pay attention to that as your packing. So just dress warm. Thats all i can think of at the moment so if you have any questions about either event please email the Ore Gangue and we can find answers. Thanks, Scott Elmer October 27 PUB CRAWL!!!Hey everyone who will hopefully will see this,

On Saturday we are hosting some events at the school that we are looking for people that would be interested in helping us out making sure things run smooth. We already started planning for the WIUGC conference next January which is going to be a blast and a half. If anyone has any questions about it email us at wiugc2010@gmail.com. We also are looking for people to help out. Well that is all the new stuff going on with the Ore Gangue so remember boys and girls always treat your waiter or waitress with respect. Joel 'Web Masta of Disasta' Gartner January 19 Shangri Zaa We the fearless leaders of the Ore Gangue have the honor, nay the
privilege, of announcing our latest fund raising endeavor. The sale of
flat bread smothered in sumptuous sauce, delectable deli meats,
tantalizingly tasty toppings, finished with fine gourmet cheeses.
Graciously provided to us by the vivacious Papa Johns, a young modern
gourmet pizzeria that is still getting its feet wet in this lovely city
of bridges. We the Ore Gangue formally invite you to partake in a meal tantamount to a personal serving of Shangri La. The tasting will proceed every tuesday starting at 11:20 a.m and concluding at 1:00 p.m. Your own little slice of delight can be purchased for the shockingly low price of 1 slice for $2 or 2 for $3. Your faithful web masta of disasta Joel 'cuddle fiend' Gartner January 14 Happy New Year Dear Fellow Geologisers. I would first like to apologize for my lack of posts this semester. With this said WIUGC was a huge sucess this past weekend, we had a strong turnout for the distance we had to travel. We represented the Ore Gangue well by winning the boat races for the third year in a row. As you all might have heard we are hosting it next year, we as presently looking for volunteers tohelp out with the organising and if anyone is interested in doing a technical presentation please contact Matt Schwab for details. Our first meeting is tomorrow at 5:30 after all the labs are over. Next weekend we are having a kick butt in lounge helium pub where we fill the room with helium ballons, on these balloons you write on them was angered, frusterated, or just pissed you off about the first semester. So come out it will be a good time with good people. From the 19th to the 21st of march we are having the 75th anniversary of the Ore Gangue and as of now the student support is really poor. So sign up and come out it and meet some of our alumni, its a great way to get your name out there and do some serious networking. Love and shame forever, Joel "Vanilla Bear" Gartner Helium LoungeNext friday (January 23rd) we will be having the annual Helium
Pub, which is an in-lounge pub filled with helium balloons. It's the
typical In-Lounge Pub set-up. Cheap drinks from 4 to 8 type of thing,
