- Renaissance Art History Lecture by Alfred Potomac
- Early in the second week of the session, flyers for a Renaissance Art History Lecture were posted in the halls of the dorms. All campers were furious with the decision to spend their Saturday afternoon listening to a three-and-a-half hour lecture on Renaissance art history. On that day, the site went to Crown and gathered on the Patio. Alfred Potomac, who was really the Academic Dean, came out wearing a rainbow wig. He began his lecture. He complained about his blood sugar being low and then ate a Starburst. Then he died. They RAs on the committee came out and told us our mission. Everyone who lived in the first, second and fifth floors of the dorms was to go to Classroom Unit 2 and watch Scooby-Doo and the Cyberchase (which was pirated from VodLocker.com) . Everyone who lived on the third and fourth floors of the dorms was to stay and figure out who killed Alfred Potomac. In the end, Renae, the academic counselor, killed the speaker.
