303 also is synonymous with everything that was even remotely cool that occured at the SSTP in 1994. Some Examples of the hilarious antics that have occured as the result of 303's presence include great meals, vocabulary words, prank calls, and practical jokes. Every Sunday morning, the 303 roommates congregate in either 303 or 307 for "The Breakfast". The food ranges from pancakes flavored with butterscotch and rainbow sno-caps to omeletes with hot dogs, cheese, soy sauce and every vegetable in existence (I know that they sound disgusting, but trust me, they taste great. The vocabulary words that are mentioned elsewhere in this collection of memories were started by one roommate, Tom Mullin. He, for no reason whatsoever, decided to say Ass and Balls almost every other word for a few days, and it stuck. The limited vocabulary that started with Tom expanded and became a way to identify other people in the 303 state of mind (roommates and fellow believers). For example, a roommate will yell "BALLS" and another person will answer "SAC". It is an experience that must have been witnessed to be truly appreciated. Upon entering 303, a vocabulary word must be shouted. In order to allow the unfortunate souls that have not yet learned the words to enter the room, the words are posted on the wall of 303. The words that are acceptable as of August 3, 1994 are ass, balls, shaft, slash, phiosh (pronounced Feosh), sac, nads, nuts, shaft, lig (the middle name of Asian stud Henry "Hank" Ma pronounced "Li"), and schlonk. The prank calls that 303 does are the best. Jerky boy pales in comparison. For example, on a certain night, a certain group of students snuck out of Beaty Towers. 303 learned of their absence and went into action. The absent students' room was called and a counselor's voice was impersonated to a believeable degree. The caller asked if the absent student could come to the phone and was told that the student was asleep and couldn't be woken. The caller then told the terrified student's roommates that he was coming down to have a talk with the absent student. The roommates, who were covering for the absent student, were scared ****less. Another example is when 303 called almost every room asking for Ex-lax before the pot luck supper. When the callee asked why 303 needed Ex-lax, they were told that all of 303's laxitives had already been put in the dish that they were preparing and that there was not enough for the desired effect. Needless to say, the dish that people thought was 303's went untouched. 303 then called every room and warned them not to eat the macaroni and cheese so it was all left for them. 303's practical jokes can be divided into two groups: in room and out of room. All SSTP jokes and traditions begin at 303. One day Westin and Engel created letters and placed them in every window on the Museum Rd. side of the building spelling "T-H-R-E-E-!". Within 24 hours 6-6-6 appeared in the windows on the girls' floor. All SSTP participants begged to join FTC (Floor Three Crew). Many originally believed that FTC meant F**K The Counselors, but The CREW stands on a higher level than that. In order to be an official roomate, one must have received a phone call on the shitty Hawkins portable phone in 303. Many have arranged to be called but 303 roomates can tell the difference. Once such attempt was made by FTC Wannabe Sonal Patel. However, she was no match for the interrogation of Mullin and Engel. After only three seconds she broke down, admitting her guilt. She was voted down as a member only hours later. You don't screw with FTC. 303 is also the ultimate in studs. In fact, on one counselor's top five guy list, four of them were 303 roomates and the other spends much of his time there. In fact this boy, was "Guarionex DeAmelio". When our counselor Joel DeCastro (native name "Guarionex) came downstairs one day with his name tag reading Guar. 303 jumped at the chance. Later that night, all 303 roomates and DeAmelio and DeAkers appeared at Stats class wearing nametags saying Guarionex De(Last Name). Tell me that's not just Kool with a capital "K"! How about phat with a capital "PH"! Although only one roomate plays "Magic" most delight in a friendly game of Modem Doom and enjoy a good hour or two on American OnLine (On Lig's bill of course). We know that all 303 roomates are guaranteed fame and fortune which is great because they will be extremely influential in developing a world in which one can walk by a stranger on the steet, declare "Balls" and receive a "Saaaaac" in return. Oh how we pray for this day when the planets have aligned and the Messiah has arrived for good. All as a result of a group of roomates named FTC-303 and their dreams for a world of Peace, Harmony and Nads.
