We used to have a chalkboard in the Donner lounge that listed a Top 10 in three areas: Tetris (played on Mac SEs), frisbee golf (using the official Stanford course around campus - don't know if it is still possible), and ping pong. You could challenge the ranking above you to move up. The Renaissance Man was he (or she) that could appear on all three rankings. I think one person did; not me, though I did crack the Top 10 in ping pong and maybe Tetris once.

So that must have been what replaced the Donner Street Party, Langdude.  I have often wondered what was the last year of that storied tradition?  When were you a Donnerite? 

So I haven't heard our AD planning for the Varsity E-Team yet, but I think it's only a matter of time....

Might crosswords or Trivial Pursuit count?  Is there a statute of limitations regarding previous acceptance of emoluments for the former?
