Songfest Week
As we are all well aware, this
week is songfest week. Activi-
ties consist of twitter key
terms, mysterious games and
men’s volleyball. Although it
may seem to have no link to
Songfest itself, the fact is that
it gets us points. That being
said, let’s all do our best to
show some Delta domination
this week.
Tuesday: Make sure to sign in
at the booth. You will have to
know the secret word so
please look it up on either the
Songfest twitter or their web-
page (found by typing in song-
fest in the UCI website search
box and then clicking on the
first link). If you don’t have
internet access you can text
Barbara to check the word for
you. There should be games
out for you to play, so take a
break between classes and
stop by.
Wednesday: The booth should
still be open for people to sign
in during the day, but more
importantly, there is a Song-
fest Volleyball game that
The Songfest Philanthropy: Orange County Food Bank
I went into my experience at
the O.C. Food Bank with really
no idea what to expect. I knew
we would be packaging food
boxes but I had never thought
of the amount of physical labor
it would take to fill one box
alone. Everyone was placed in a
station, mine was tomato juice.
For two hours we placed our
items into a little over a thou-
night. Sign-in tables are open
from 6:30-7:30pm. They are
taking the sign-in sheet away
promptly at 7:30 so make sure
to get there early. Last time
there was a huge line to get in
but they kept the sign-in
sheets out late for everyone.
They aren’t going to be so nice
about it this time. And remem-
ber, wear your songfest shirt
to the game. If you still want a
songfest shirt they are selling
them at the Songfest booth.
If we have the most people
sign-in to the game we win
400 points. That would put us
only 300 points behind DG and
KSig .
On another note concerning
points, make sure to bring
cans in and turn in your “A”s.
If you weren’t at meeting this
past Monday, Jaime has prom-
ised us 10 cans for every “A”
we turn in (same system as
Smarty Panties). I already have
a list of girls from Smarty Pant-
ies for this quarter going that I
will turn into her, so you can
either e-mail Jaime your “A”s
sand boxes. When walking out I
looked down at my hands, they
were dirty, dry, and blistered

of us take a second to think of
how well we actually have it;
our pantry stocked every week
with multiple opportunities.
Many families like the ones that
are lucky enough to receive a
box from the O.C. Food Bank

or myself at selliott@uci.edu
and I will turn them in for you.
Last quarter’s final grades that
were “A”s count too. Make
sure to turn them in!
