Drew’s Page
Hey, this is Drew. I don’t have a web page because I’m a Luddite anti-technophile destined to be the Unabomber or something. Hell, I’m one of the .005% of Brown students who doesn’t have a computer, and that’s on purpose. Because the government would use it to monitor my thoughts and emit carcinogenic radio waves into my brain, and before you know it, those pesky black helicopters are landing on my lawn. Again. But you can enjoy a funny bio someone wrote on the Brown ACLU web page about my former life. http://www.brown.edu/Students/ACLU/Bios/BADupuy.html
OK, so for real, I’m a first semester senior who may or may not graduate this December or next May (’02). But I started as ’01 and am enjoying the fruits of the first of two senior years (just like that guy in ‘Dazed and Confused’). I guess my current year is ’01.75 +/- .25. I’m a PoliSci major (and not for pre-professional reasons, I actually like the shit) and might add Urban Studies if that’s what it takes to get Brown to let me stay an extra semester, if that’s what I want to do. I studied in Stockholm, Sweden, last spring after taking a semester off and working and surfing (badly) back home in Redondo Beach, California. I’ve also done summer study abroad programs in Costa Rica and Mexico, and hope to live in South America for awhile, maybe in the Peace Corps.
Other vitals: Age 22 (look somewhere between 12 and 20, which is really annoying, especially at bars). Hobbies: drinking, occasional drugs, The Simpsons, shooting pool, cross-country road trips (3 and counting, http://www.moon.com/catalog/road_trip.html ), jam-band hippie shit (like Phish and the Dead), politics, ACLU, hanging out at the beach and pretending to surf, watching pro/college sports (baseball, football, soccer, hockey) and playing pick-up games of touch football, soccer, and Ultimate Frisbee, bars, coffee, arguing, traveling, and being really, really social at the expense of my academic career. Yeah, I’m a terrible college student. Plans: to prolong college as much as possible, then do a few years of teaching/Peace Corps/public service type stuff, live in the U.S. South for awhile cuz it’s so damned fucked up and cool, do some travel writing, eventually maybe go to law school or grad school for public administration, and then try to stave off selling out for as long as possible. Car: ’95 Saturn SL2 that’s taken my X-C 3 times and through a few river beds. Great company, but I’m angling for a different car next time. Build: really skinny. But damnit, I’m cute. White, formerly kinda tan, 5’9, 140, brn/grn. Smooth. Cut (sorry, that’s too much information. As if anyone cares … if you do, maybe you should e-mail me!)
Allright, finally, since you’re reading this on the Zete page, maybe I should offer some relevant info. Currently (Spring Semester ’01) I’m Rush Chair, which means I’m in charge of bringing in new people to the house. I really, really want to bring in some cool, diverse people and keep the place vibrant and interesting. I’m also Athletics Chair, which basically means I sign up Zete to play Intramural Sports, which I failed to do this season. We’re playing Frisbee later in the Spring, if anyone’s interested. I also allegedly take people bowling and award the “Cold Cum Cup” to the biggest loser, I think. Whatever the rules are, I’m sick of having that thing in my room. I also was SpagFest Chair in ’99. For you frosh and others “In-the-Dark” (a Grateful Dead album), SpagFest is Zete’s big Friday-afternoon spaghetti and cheap wine fest that sorta kicks off Spring Weekend. If you don’t know what Spring Weekend is, it’s my favorite time of year at Brown, where bands play and the entire student body unites in the common purpose of breaking personal bests in the area of getting fucked up. SpagFest is fun, you can come stuff yourself full of beer and pasta in the daytime and then take a nap and do whatever drugs or drinking you want that night. However, for the record, Zete is not all about alcohol and drugs, but we don’t mind providing the former for the campus. Other info … I’m a member of the Xi pledge class, which is most recent and composed mostly of current sophomores and juniors (plus me), but I’ve been hanging around Zete since the beginning of my sophomore year (’98-99) and was going to pledge with the previous class, the Nus, before I decided to take a leave-of-absence from Brown. Which had nothing to do with Zete!
So, as a (modest and) cool and social guy, and particularly as Rush Chair (I guess), I should tell y’all to feel free to e-mail deadhead@brown.edu or call me (x7-5582) or submit creepy anonymous notes in my Campus Box (2197) if you have questions or whatever. And feel free to stop by anytime to hang out in the bar and shoot a game of pool, or watch ESPN or the Simpsons. See ya.
