WHAT'S NEWS?

-UPDATE: As the scandals at the GSBM continue to mount, Fly On The Wall has learned that in addition to hiding under the desk and not answering her phone, Dean Livingstone has also begun collecting bits of string.

-As an alternative to the weekly Happy Hours, Director of Communications Katie Nsairy will be introducing a new networking event called “Dancing with Strangers”. The purpose of this event is to provide a better setting for networking with business contacts while learning all sorts of wonderful dance moves. Students get to dance for five minutes before switching partners. Each weekly event will feature a different themed dance: the Mashed Potato, the Macarena, the Time Warp, and Line Dancing.

-Given the popularity of last week’s brown bag liquid lunch program, this week the cafeteria staff will be promoting the three martini lunch. Those interested in participating are asked to report to the Executive Center. Proper attire is required.

-MGBS social chairs Sharon Haughey and Valerie Malloy have announced that the end-of-the-trimester cocktail party will be held at an “undisclosed location” along Santa Monica beach. The University will be providing the first round of cocktails, including orange juice with pulp, decaffeinated coffee, and sparkling water. Drinks will be served on the rocks with a splash of surf.

-Pepperdine has announced that it is considering abandoning the tenured professor system and replacing it with a 5 year straight-line depreciation method.
