CSR Newsletter: Week of July 16-22
Welcome, Case Class of 2011 and CCLCM Class of 2012!
We hope you are enjoying your first week here! There's a lot to take in, but you'll get into the groove of things in no time. As many of you are already aware, the Committee of Student Representatives (CSR) is essentially the student government at Case. We serve as a liaison between students and administration, organize community service and social events, fund many of the student organizations at Case, and much more. This weekly newsletter (which usually comes out on Sunday evenings) is a way to list and compile the major events that are occurring each week at school, at the Cleveland hospitals and on the Case campus. It is also a forum for announcements (please send to apj10@case.edu) and birthday listings (and for the new students, we will be adding your names and birthdays in very soon!). As listed in the upcoming events section below, we will be holding an activities fair on Friday, August 10, where student organizations will have information on what they do and how you can participate. We strongly encourage you to join several groups and get involved with the Cleveland community! For more information, see: casemed.case.edu/csr or email apj10@case.edu . Thanks and good luck!
Sincerely,
Anandhi Jeyabalan
President, CSR

Joke of the Week :-D
Two doctors, one a Psychiatrist and the other a Proctologist, opened an office in a small town and put up a sign reading: "Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones, Hysterias and Posteriors."
The town council was not happy with the sign, so the doctors changed it to, "Schizoids and Hemorrhoids." This was not acceptable either. So in an effort to satisfy the council they changed the sign to, "Catatonics and High Colonics." Thumbs down again. Then came, "Manic Depressives and Anal Retentives." Still no good.
Another attempt resulted in, "Minds and Behinds." Unacceptable again. So they tried, "Lost Souls and Butt Holes." No way.
"Analysis and Anal Cysts?" Nope. "Nuts and Butts?" Uh uh. "Freaks and Cheeks?" Still no go.
"Loons and Moons?" Forget it.
Almost at their wit's end, the doctors finally came up with: "Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones, "Odds and Ends."
Approved!
