Intermural
Floor
Hockey
Season
Ends
in
Controversy
By

The
Jungle
Posse,
a
floor
hockey
team
in
the
intramural
league.faced
with
adversity
and
conflict
throughout
the
season
(thanks
to
David
Wharrie
"Mr.
Know
It
All")
defeated
the
Royals
2
to
1
in
the
finals.
The
captain
of
the
Posse,
Romi
Manhas
said
that
his
team
proved
that
they
could
play
as
an
unit,
defeating
the
Royals.
They
proved
that
the
Posse
can
play
any
style
of
hockey.
A
lot
ofcredit
can
go
to
then-defense
and
especially
their
goalie,
Sam
Manhas
for
holding
them
in
there.
The
Black
Demons,
another
team
in
the
league
felt
that
the
refe-reeing
was
biased,
and
that
the
whole
tournament
was
poorly
run.
They
felt
that
the
Jungle
Posse
was
the
problem
and
that
because
some
of
the
Jungle
Posse
team
members
were
once
Student
Council
members,
and
because
of
this
fact,
the
referees
might
have
been
biased
towards
them,
and
biased
against
the
teams
that
the
Jungle
Posse
played.
They
said
that
whenever
the
make
a
complaint,
that
it
is
usually
ignored,
because
of
the
bureaucratic
processes.
Kris,
the
new
Rec.
Assistant,
in
response
to
the
complaints
made
by
the
Black
Demons,
said
she
would
like
to
see
their
opinions
in
writing
so
that
they
will
have
something
to
work
with
next
year,
that
they
would
like
change
the
system
dramatically,
and
that
she
was
not
impressed
with
the
problems
that
they
have
been
having.
In
response
to
the
complaints
made
by
the
Black
Demons,
the
Jungle
Posse
felt
that
the
complaints
about
biased
refereeing
were
a
load
of
BS.
In
their
opinion,
their
team
was
hated
by
everyone
including
the
referees.
As
far
as
they
were
concerned,
the
Black
Demons
acted
immaturely
and
should
accept
the
fact
that
the
better
team
won.
Human
Billboards
From
simple
beginnings
the
idea
of
a
walking
billboard
has
become
a
major
industry.
The
printed
shirt
as
a
form
of
advertising
was
contrived
by
the
Weinner
and
Gossage
advertising
firm,
to
save
a
friends
failing
radio
station.
This
advertising
device
has
since
become
an
entity
of
its
own.
Hbward
Gossage
's
friend
owned
KSFR,
a
small
FM
radio
station,
that
was
having
financial
troubles.
Howard,
areal
music
enthusiast,
gave
thirteen
weeks
of
advertising
to
help
save
the
station.
The
commercials,
to
be
aired,
were
for
Rainier
Ale.
The
trouble
was
how
do
you
advertise
for
a
brewery
on
a
classical
station.
Upon
remembering
Schroe-der
(from
the
Peanuts
comic
strip)
having
a
Beethoven
sweatshirt
an
idea
came
to
Gossage.
Two
days
later
a
newspaper
ran
a
column
of
Weinner
&
Gossages'
plan
to
offer
Beethoven,
Brahms,
and
Bach
sweatshirts.
It
was
a
crazy
idea,
no
one
had
tried
using
clothing
in
an
advertising
campaign
before.
Questions
were
plentiful
in
the
beginning
because
of
the
firms
inexperience
in
this
forum.
Where
can
bulk
sweatshirts
be
purchased
and
is
there
ink
that
can
be
laundered?
Who
can
print
the
sweatshirts?
Soon
all
these
questions
were
answered
and
the
first
600
shirts
were
finished.
This
initial
600
sold
with
the
help
of
a
couple
of
radio
announcements.
There
was
a
demand
for
the
product.
A
decision
was
made
to
print
another
15,000
shirts.
An
advertisement
ran
in
the
New
Yorker,
to
promote
Rainier
Ale
and
the
sweatshirts.
As
far
as
Weinner
and
Gossage
were
concerned
the
main
goal
was
to
sell
the
shirts.
The
Weinner
and
Gossage
firm
received
all
the
revenue
from
the
sales.
The
focus
of
the
advertisement
changed.

fc7
00,
rorm
of
the
sweatshirts
promoting
the
product
(Rainier
Ale),
they
became
the
product.
Nike
is
a
prime
example
of
what
Weinner
and
Gossage'
s
idea
has
snowballed
into.
Today
millions
of
dollars
are
spent
to
promote
Nike
products.
These
products
are
embossed
with
Nike
logos
and
slogans
(Just
Do
It!).
It
is
no
longer
clear
whether
the
shirt
is
just
a
product
or
if
it
is
an
advertisement.
One
thing
is
definite,
Nike
can't
match
the
$4.00
price
tag
of
Weinner
and
Gossage
's
original
shirts.
Help
for
a
friend
spawned
a
major
advertising
device
of
today,
the
human
billboard.
From
its
simple
beginnings
with
Weinner
and
Gossage
to
the
multi-million
dollar
campaigns
of
Nike,
the
printed
shirt
has
become
a
major
fashion.
