1. What is SBRA all about, other than having an unpronouncable acronym?
SBRA stands for the Student Beach Residents Association. Our job is to act as liaisons to the university as well as the town and act as social coordinators for the population of students who live off campus in that area.
2. Did 200 nights really fall on the 200th night before graduation, or did you guys fudge it and think no one would recognize it really landed on night 197 or something like that?
I think it was night, like, 162 and it was the only date the Marriott had open in the fall. (laughs)
3. Why did SBRA run FUSA’s 200 nights this year, other than the fact that beach people know how to throw a party better?
Over the summer I was told that SBRA would be running 200 nights and that’s all she wrote (laughs)
4. Last year, The Mirror ran ‘All Betz Are Off’ about your FUSA candidacy for president. Do you have any regrets about that time?
I think the headline was a bit harsh, but that’s politics. If I regretted everything in my life, I’d probably be in a mental institution right now. I used it as a learning experience and got on with it.
5. What do you think of FUSA this year?
I give them a lot of credit. I can’t really comment because I’m not involved in it, but I also know there’s been a lot of changes because of the new constitution and they’ve had to deal with that. But I’m not really on campus a lot and most of their issues fall there, so I don’t really have any comment.
6. What is the most exciting part of SBRA?
Truthfully, or what I’m supposed to say? (laughs) Just planning on our events and working with our friends. And working with Kevin and Maria and Desiree.
7. As a senior, are you disappointed that some of the construction projects going on won’t be done until after you graduate?
I’m more upset that they weren’t done. But the campus center and the library are done and they’re the only buildings I’m in when I’m on campus. I’m just glad I’ll be graduating without two mounds of dirt in front of the library!
8. Would you recommend living in a beach house, or is it a washout?
I’ve lived at the beach since my junior year and I’ve had a great time. I’ve had a really nice house to live in.
9. Could you answer the rumor about you and Sal, the security guard?
I didn’t know there was a rumor but I can tell you rumors about Sal and other girls.
10. What’s the most odd thing that’s happened down at the beach?
Having my grandmother call after the luau and having her ask if the National Guard flew in after watching NBC. Oh, this is a good one. No names or stories shall be given, but there’s a ball of saran wrap sitting in my bathroom as we speak that no one will touch.
11. Do you like to celebrate Christmas 12 months a year?
All right, sure.
So is that why you have a Christmas tree in your yard in February?
The Christmas tree is just the laziness between my housemates to drag it out of the swamp in our backyard. Have you seen it? It’s our version of landscaping.
12. Let’s play the pyramid: 200 Nights, 30 Nights, Boogie Nights…
Hooking up at night!
That’s correct! DING!
13. Are you a gambler?
No, despite my last name. I have no luck in the gambling market.
14. Who’s more sexy? News Editor Allie Moonan or Ally McBeal?
No comment! (laughs)
15. Which artist should just stop recording music?
Jewel. I cannot stand her!
16. Fake suntans: do you think they’re just a little too obvious when people have them?
You’re talking to a person that when I tan in a normal setting or in a booth, comes out looking like a lobster. I think a little color looks nice, but there’s no need to be orange in December.
17. More fun to know and hang out with: “He Said” Kevin Estela or “She Said” Maria DeRuccio?
Oh, Maria DeRuccio because she’s such a nice girl. Kevin scares me at times.
You picked up the brownie points considering she’s sitting next to you.
18. Is the Grape a good place to hang out, or is it sour?
It’s a good place to hang out when you’re short on cash. (laughs)
19. Do you, uh, yahoo?
I hope you’re talking about the computer and not just some sick joke!
Darn.
20. Any last words?
(talking like award winner) I’d like to thank God and my parents… just kidding! Peace out to my posse!
