Your Weekend Weather

Published by Laura Thomson on November 22, 2008 in General News and Weather Report. 0 Comments

In the vein of new Billiken Traditions, we’re going to try something new here on SLUConnection. David Koeller, a freshman here at SLU, will be providing us with the weather report every Friday.

David does it all (in addition to the normal hectic schedule of a freshman) from gathering and analyzing the incoming weather data to producing and staring in the weather report.  I don’t know if this is true or not but someone told me his middle name is Doppler. :-)

David is a student in the department of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences and has is own weather related blog that can be found here.

(Editor’s Note: Sorry this is a bit late.  I’m in Phoenix on vacation.  Which, BTW is a lot warmer than STL right now!)

Sam Howard SGA President wants you to join in SLU’s Billiken Traditions with its big kick-off this Saturday, November 22nd at the Men’s Basketball game against Boston College at Chaifetz.

Among some of the major events is a giant Billiken spotlight to be shone against the east side of Griesedieck Tower. Look out for the Billiken Signal on Friday, November 21st after dark along with the blue lights on the tower of the BSC to guide your way.

After the game on Saturday, head to Humphrey’s Bar and Grill for the unveiling of the SLU Billiken Traditions Mural.

The key to making this work is through you.  Here are some tips to help spread the word.

  • Personally encourage every one of your friends to have tickets for this Saturday’s game and that they plan to attend the Traditions Unveiling right afterwards.
  • Change your Facebook status to “Billikens vs. B.C. this Saturday at 1 PM — don’t miss this BILLIKEN TRADITION.  Good luck guys!”
  • Change your Facebook picture to the picture below.
  • Make announcements in your classes and meetings
  • Print off the (above) poster, and hang in in your room/window/somewhere people will see it but that doesn’t have to be approved.
  • Anything else crazy but legal you can think of that will get people stoked for this game and unveiling!
