Can’t Write a Short Headline

During this past weekend, it was reported that Holy Cross’ newest club, Club Jousting, had a little too much fun on the club card. During their very real club jousting meet in Atlantic city, various members of the club ventured from the hotel to the many casinos in the area. This seemingly would not be harmful but the head of the club, Chad Joustington, had the club Amex in his hip pocket. One poor bet on red to another led to the club spending a whopping 10,367 dollars at Jacks Casino and Hotel. 

When the students arrived back on campus, they were quickly accosted by the campus disciplinary committee and taken to the very real interrogation room in Hogan Campus Center. Students were shocked by the revelation that Hogan would possess such a place, but they were happy to know the tuition is going somewhere. 

In this interrogation, the e-board was put on the hot spot. It was either expulsion or justification for these frat bro wannabes.

Despite the tense moment, the members were reportedly cool-as-cucumbers as they said, “How else are we supposed to bond as a club without doing any underage gambling.” They further went on to say, “Those jousters were turned from boys to men once they felt the thrill of letting it ride.” As expected, the members of the disciplinary committee were as expected taken aback by such a claim, as it was a shockingly reasonable use of club funds. 

Due to this shocking development, the college has decided to increase the club joustings budget by 15,000 dollars. Is any other club allowed to have enough money for the bare necessities like travel and lodging? Absolutely not, but when club jousting, the very real and impactful club needs more money for gambling for “club bonding” they have their check and they are ready to sign.
