Esteemed members of Cabin and Trail,

This Monday night during meetings (10 pm in Robo basement) we shall determine the Morals and Immorals Committee Chairs for this year! This is a long standing CnT tradition​: you may have seen some pieces of wood lying around in the basement with these titles inscribed upon them. So what does WAYCN stand for and how are these chairs determined?

WAYCN stands for Wear All Your Clothes Night, which consists of two different competitions to test your moral fiber, with the winner of each becoming the new chair of a committee. It is an entertaining event that relieves the monotony of a cold winter and offers you an opportunity to show off your layering prowess, and important skill for outdoor winter activities. 

WAYCN begins at the start of regular meetings and you must be on time to participate. Every time the giant mallet is banged upon the floor you must remove one article of clothing until you are down to your final layer (or decide that you have removed enough). Note: you may also come simply to observe, participation is by no means mandatory.

Morals Committee Chair: This position is for the most morally upstanding member of CnT, who is obviously the person wearing the most layers at WAYCN. Note: there is a fairly loose definition of "layer," but we will rule on this matter on a case by case basis. (a t-shirt counts as 1 layer but so does a sock. Believe it or not, a hair tie does not count as a layer). We suggest bringing a large duffle bag to throw your clothes in after taking them off. Morals Committee Chair responsibilities include maintaining the moral nature of CnT meetings, holding trials for any particularly egregious cases, and catching all "that's what she said" jokes. If you really want to hold this position, you should wear so many layers that you can no longer clap your hands together and you need someone to roll you into the meeting room because you can no longer walk. This takes dedication folks.

Immorals Committee Chair: This position is for the least morally upstanding member of CnT, or the person wearing the least moral final layer
tomorrow. This will be determined using our applause-o-meter as you applaud for your favorite contestant (there will be a brief intermission for a late night Collis run before this event is held). Past finalists wore newspaper underwear, a knitted bikini, a pair of cross country skis, a stuffed animal snake, and a tiny playground sign. This is an opportunity to step outside of your comfort zone, and CnT aims to be a supportive, body positive space (non participants, please note that no unkind comments will be tolerated). Chair responsibilities include acting as spokesperson for the defendant in all Morals Committee trials and encouraging acts of immorality during CnT events.

NOTE: you can compete for both of these positions at the same time! While extremely difficult it is theoretically possible to win both titles in the same evening.

We encourage you to compete for these prestigious positions Monday night! This is usually a well-attended and entertaining meeting. 

Blitz us with any questions, and see you Monday!​
