*grins* "Defenestrate" is such a great word. I think it's the one thing we all took away from 10th grade Western Civ.
Rabid attack worms. I like that image, very apt. I will be writing about it some when i finally finish my next uber-update.
Yes, HONS is a Smith thing. HONS, Heads Of New Students, are ResLifers (but not policy enforcers) who are mostly all about helping the first-years adjust. Apparently this year before classes had even started, HONS in one of the houses were caught drinking and smoking up with their first years. It was a raucous party and Public Safety got called, so there has been debate about how only a few people got in trouble when so many people were there. Normally Judicial Board (made up mostly of students) would get called in on a case like this, but because not everyone was back yet or the new JB wasn't trained yet or whatever, the administration stepped in directly. I believe the HONS in question were kicked out of campus housing.
There was i believe one Sophian article on this a couple weeks after the fact, but mostly it's been discussed in places like the Daily Jolt (http://smith.dailyjolt.com/forum/) and i don't think there's been any official word from the college. The house in question put up a banner saying "Loyalty to our house always, loyalty to our college when it deserves it" which is still up.
I culled the intelligent bits from the Jolt thinking i might at some time want the information, so i can e-mail that to you if you're really interested.
Cate's been wanting someone to write on it ("is it over? or has it just begun?") for a couple weeks now.
