What's with the new tree?  They showed a dancing palm tree tonight.  Hasn't it been a willow?

Wasn't that a prior year's tree?  Goes along with LSJUMB tradition to include old farts, I suppose.  Stanford's fall quarter ended last week, so I would guess the current tree and other LSJUMB regulars are away on break.

You are correct. This year's tree is home for the holidays so they have some substitutes wearing whatever costume is easiest (palm tree was last year's). Apparently, the weeping willow is very unwieldy.
