BAND VOTING BOO-BOO!!
Last Minute Votes Shift Results

Talk about rocking the vote! Although last month's edition of the Whistler reported that group #2 (El Nino, Dream Dogs and Hypnotic Stare) were the winning names, a recount proved that it was actually group #3 (Bored Authority, Vesuvio and Rebel Angels) which triumphed! Activity spokesperson Sly K. Move explained: "We recorded the totals on Wednesday night, but the polls didn't close until Friday morning. By that time, the numbers had shifted in favor of #3 by 253 votes." To prevent this from happening again, all future voting activities will give the date on which the polls will close. Any votes received after polls close will not be counted.

So how does Musicmeister Ruben Rosales feel about the switcheroo? "I was kind of tripped out, I'd just picked the name out of the group I was gonna use for my band. Now I have to do it all over again. But hey -- at least they're all hot labels. I can work with it!"

You can find out which name Ruben picks in the Rockett's First Dance™ CD-ROM, coming in early 1999.

PEZANSKI A GONER? TWO STUDENTS AND A TEACHER TO THE RESCUE!
By Morton201

Bo Pezanski has never been a star student, but last semester he came close to failing FOUR subjects. Finally Mrs. Herrera couldn't take it any more, and Bo was being given what I call "THE BUMP." Yes, back to seventh grade! The minute they heard this, two students, Jessica Marbella and Sharla Norvell, begged for mercy. Mrs. H. told them that if they could get a teacher on their side by the next morning, Bo would be spared. All day they squabbled about it. But finally they decided on his computer teacher, Ms. Chen, and it's a good thing, too, because she was right on their side. In the end Pezanski stayed in eighth grade. So what does everyone have to say about it?

Herrera: "Just keep up, young man!" Pezanski: "Whew!" Marbella: "I KNEW we could save him." Norvell: "So he's no Einstein -- sue him!" Chen: "Glad to have him back. He's a real computer whiz."

Let's see how he does THIS semester!
