Comedy Wars had their first show tonight for the 2008-2009 school year. Regardless of academic responsibilities, it's tradition for all of us to go on Wednesday nights, consume large amounts of caffeine, and giggle or sometimes uncontrollably laugh at the student improv masters. There is one major difference during this weekly gathering: there are MASSIVE hoards of freshman stealing chairs, blurting out immature (and ludicrous) suggestions, and forming a sea of bright eyes that spans every last inch of the student lounge. I have never seen this campus more packed, not only at Comedy Wars, but in the bookstore, in the food court at Brady, the library, etc. They are EVERYWHERE. The lines are twice as long where ever you go. Student capacity is to the brim in classrooms. It's nice that enrollment is record breaking, which means millions for our ever-changing and always developing university, but when do you start to question the need for space?

Bottom line: It's war, freshies.
