This is my second year living in UC Berkeley’s oldest dormitory: Bowles Hall. After the wild adventure that was last year, the administration has decided to crack down on many of our “traditions.” In the interest of preserving them for future Bowlesmen, I’ve decided to make occasional posts about “Bowles Hall Culture.”
This first post is about our war cry:
Alakazoo, Alakazaam,
Horseshit, God Damn,
Witch’s Tit, Bloody Cunt,
Rah, Rah, Fuck!

It changed. It used to be:
Alakazoo, Alakazaam,
Fuck You, God Damn,
Witch’s Tit, Bloody Cunt,
Rah, Rah, Rah!
Some of us olderalums, and maybe a few more recent, who spent their entire four years at Bowles are concerned about the plan for 2005-2006. If you are interested, please get in touch.

I’m a reporter looking to interview past Bowles Hall residents for a story I’m doing about the changes the University is making there. My number is 510-841-1194. Please call or email me at phoge@sfchronicle.com

From what I read in the Chron, the Administration has overreacted and will foolishly bury what has always been good about Bowles along with the recent regretable aberrations. Bowles is a four year institution, not a colorless barrack of recruits.
