<p>acaht, what if we have a dual curriculum? Option A is core and option B is open. Keep everyone happy. </p>

<p>Mascot: Sluggbugg
Motto: It’s all about fit.
Colors: Emerald & Blue</p>

<p>Name: Confidential College?
Confidentialia</p>

<p>Team name for short: The Buggs</p>

<p>Fight song:</p>

<p>Hail, hail brave Buggs
no more misunderstood
We’ve found our fit
and this is it
we know “Knowledge is Good”</p>

<p>Onward Buggs to victory
Let none o’er you prevail
Emerald & Blue
Our hearts are true
Brave Buggs will never fail</p>

<p>SBMom, I don’t like the approach of a dual curriculum. (I’m not saying it very seriously, but in the same tone as everyone here).</p>

<p>We should all duke it out here and come up with one. Otherwise, we’ll have a European Union where almost everything goes, there are 300,000 statutes and regulations and it becomes a huge unwieldy bureaucracy - which is in the USs interests but if you look at it from the European pov, it does not work.</p>

<p>In any case, since we’ve spent all this time thinking about it, I would have no hesitation in sending my son there.</p>

<p>Carolyn, your son sounds like a wonderful young man…the earliest period my son is interested in, is 18th century (17th century?), ‘Age of Reason’.</p>

63

<p>Wow, loved your fight song, SBMom!</p>

64

<br>

<br>

<p>We need to come up with a grading system to ensure that this verse comes true.</p>

65

<p>I love the song, SBmom!!! :D</p>

<p>YAY! My first internship. I’m so excited! Now all we need is someone to raise chickens and cows for free-range eggs and organic milk!:p</p>

66

<p>Okay, SBmom is hereby appointed Music Director of Confidentalia College.</p>

<p>Should Brassdad be director of the Brass band? And Tututaximom in charge of the dance program?</p>

67

<p>Can we name one of the dorms the Bedbugg?</p>

68

<p>Cangel:</p>

<p>I have friends who can advise on the finer art of vinticulture. Can I be an asst?</p>

69

<p>Sorry, its BassDad, not BrassDad. The brass band would have to consist entirely of bass trombones and tubas if I’m in charge. (Heavy metal music in other words.)</p>

70

<p>Another dorm could be sluggabed. </p>

<p>Bassdad, sorry for the extra “R”. But trombones and tubas sound fine to me!</p>

71

<p>Thinking Confidentialia will need the Latin version of its motto, if it is to Get Any Respect. My hs Latin is quite rusty, so someone can tweak this: “It’s all about fit.” </p>

<p>Aptus est omnia. (literally, fit is everything)</p>

<p>Btw, I think emerald and blue will be stunning. And no one else has these colors. I’m thinking we can even get the guys to wear them.</p>

<p>What hath curmudgeon wrought! Shall we have a statue of him in the quad? Will he be wearing topsiders?</p>

72

<p>“sluggabed” - I love it.</p>

<p>Yes, by all means there should be a statue of curmudgeon. But I don’t think we should have a quad - so mundane. Let’s have a 5-sided yard and call it the “pent”. </p>

<p>And a college newspaper could, in his honor, be called “The Daily Curmudgeon”.</p>

<p>And where has curmudgeon been? I haven’t seen him posting much since he started the doodle. Are you upset that your major impact on one school has turned into a whole new school? I hope not !</p>

73

<p>I believe Curmudgeon is on a spring break tour-the-colleges trip…either that or doing development shmoozing to raise money for the college!</p>

74

<p>

</p>

<p>I am honored to be in such esteemed company. Of course, anyone else at all is invited to join the Board simply by announcing that they are on it! :)</p>

75

<p>Jmmom. I was thinking along similar lines : Aptare omnes est</p>

76

<p>In my professional capacity I will volunteer to take care of IP rights in the name, logo, motto, mascot and the like, including seeking royalties from licensing, providing there is no conflict with any existing clients. </p>

<p>SBMom, as its creator, you currently own the copyright to the fight song; however we hope that you will assign the rights to the college, once it’s established. Likewise for the creators of the other items mentioned above.</p>

<p>I think that we SHOULD erect a statue of Curmedgeon, to be titled “Our Founding Father”, complete with either boots or topsiders.</p>

<p>In my nonprofessional capacity I will apply separately for a specialty in SBMom’s music department and for a position on the faculty of religious studies. However, if too much time passes before this school becomes a reality, I may have to begin my career as a professor emeritus.</p>

77

<p>Sorry for nominating only a few people for the Board of Trustees. SBmom, jammimom and marite could be here, as well as nedad, carolyn, mootmom or Northstarmom.
Notice the fact that most of the Trustees would have, quite fittingly, the suffix -mom or -dad attached to their name.
Of course, membership on the Board of Trustees would require a nomination and everyone should be free to do it.</p>

78

<p>Bluebayou, viticulture advice is always welcome - perhaps they can become adjunct faculty, or perhaps a visiting lecture series?</p>

<p>Of course we will plant vines, but we must investigate the terroir first!</p>

<p>Go Buggs!</p>

79

<p>Hahhahahahah! :smiley: Just caught up with this thread. Thanks,Yemaya. I thought it was called, “Drooling the day away.” </p>

<p>Right on! Sluggbuggs unite! Love the Bugg Fight Song. We have a motto. Now, how about this for a slogan?</p>

<p>ILLEGITIMI NON CARBORUNDUM (Don’t let the bastards grind you down)</p>

80

<p>w00t for the motto!
(In case anyone else tries, that bizarre pink is “emerald” in CC color entry speak)</p>
