1. "I heartily applaud The Hustler's decision to run a front page story on the Vanderbilt Playboy model during Family Weekend. Way to help fully immerse parents and siblings in our excellent campus culture and give the proverbial finger to the administration at the same time (not that they deserve it, but it's fun to see it done). It's refreshing to see that the Hustler staff has a sense of humor. Keep it up and you might even put The Slant out of business (sorry, Sean)."

2. "I think it's funny that the Vanderbilt Young Alumni Trustees find the format of the Homecoming award selection process a ǃÚpressing issue' (among other topics such as the living wage and where we are going to live next year)."

3. "Why do people complain about the lack of very minor amenities at Vanderbilt with the sorry punch line, ǃÚWE pay enough to go here in the first place'?! I think everyone can live without a pom-pom at a football game or another side at Lunch Paper. I would rather my money pay for better professors or improved facilities, something Vanderbilt and I will be grateful for in the long run. I do agree we make a huge investment in attending Vanderbilt, so why not put that investment to the best use?"

4. "Should I be concerned that a VSG candidate for my dorm described himself in Monday's Hustler as ǃÚthe introvert disdainful of the masses' who has no desire to talk to people he doesn't like? I'm not sure someone more concerned with being an individual than being a social creature is suited to represent a hall of 150 in our student government."

5. "It's already annoying enough when guys disregard the rules by using the restrooms on an all-women floor. The situation only get worse when you find you have to fight guys on weekend mornings for the shower stalls. The worst case occurred the other night, though, when I was in the restroom. A piss-drunk guy walked in, even made eye contact with me, and then entered the first stall and started urinating, just like that. No shutting of the stall door or even lifting up of the toilet seat - nothing. As you can imagine, it was a VERY awkward minute and a half for me listening to him relieve himself while I brushed my teeth. So, a word of advice, please stay outside, men. Also, ladies, when you pre-game, please drink responsibly and control your male guests. They are NOT welcome."

6. "PDA is not appropriate in the following places: class, Valerie Plame Wilson lecture, common areas in my suite, church, the workplace and anywhere others can see you."

7. "Rites of Spring needs to get rid of these lame bands like ǃÚWolfmother and ǃÚClap Your Hans Say Yeah.' Are you kidding me, Music Group?! Can we in the future please get some more legit bands like Bret Michaels? Who doesn't need a little more Rock of Love in their lives?!"

8. Hey, Tri-Delt, get a clue! Heckling and yelling at people on the Wall instead of informing them about your project makes no one want to buy your tickets, no matter the cause!
So, why did I need to say that?
The Tri-Delt sisters have been screeching all week to ǃÚBuy our tickets no!' ǃÚYou, buy a ticket!'
So, when they yelled at me to ǃÚBuy our tickets,' I stopped and asked them, ǃÚWhy?'
Their response: ǃÚYou can watch us dance in spandex to Britney Spears!'
I asked them again, ǃÚWhy, What for?'
Their response was, ǃÚIt's for kids! Buy our ticket!'
I asked them, ǃÚWhy? I don't get what it's for.'
Their response: ǃÚYou don't like kids? It's for kids; buy our ticket!'
I told them, ǃÚNo, thanks,' and began walking away.
They yelled at me again. ǃÚOh my God, did you see that?! He doesn't like kids!'
No, actually I love kids. I went to their Web site and found out it was for Monroe Carrell Jr. Children's Hospital and that they raised nearly $1,000 last October for the hospital. That's great and I support the cause. Who wouldn't? Oh, that's right - someone who's being heckled by a sister to give them money."

9. Every day when I walk by the Wall, fliers I don't want get thrust into my hands, I get yelled at to buy tickets, sign a giant ball (if I don't, I'm told I don't care about children), etc. However, I've never seen someone complain about this in the Hustler ... until it had to do with the Tri-Delts. I'd like to think the person who complained about them last Friday isn't a biased hypocrite, so I look forward to reading subsequent complaints about different organizations on the Wall from this same reader. However, if this person decides not to complain about anyone else, I applaud them for realizing how much time they wasted by writing an essay singling out a single group rather than sucking it up like the rest of us and realizing everyone is simply excited about their causes and wants you to take part in them as well. Furthermore, if Tri-Delt manages to raise around $1,000 from this single philanthropy event every year, then obviously they are doing something right.

10. In response to the person who complained about signing the ball in front of Rand: if you did not sign it, you do hate children and America. All you had to do was write your name down, and I honestly doubt you had anything better to do with your time. That is all.
