When Residence Life announced that the first annual Valentine's Day dance was cancelled, many students were disappointed. None more so however, than freshman Daniel Goonchild."I had a ring and everything," sneezed Goonchild, who hasn't dated since coming to PBA.
After hearing about the dance, he purchased a suit and learned the moonwalk.
"It was in the bag," he said as he adjusted his binoculars to the Johnson tanning deck.
With Valentine's Day only a day away, time is running out for Goonchild to find true love. Fortunately, he is not alone.
In a 36 page special edition Valentine's Day publication, the Beacon reminded students that many face the 'predicament' of being single on Valentine's Day and encouraged those readers to look on the bright side.
After reading the article however, many students noticed the testimonials of two happily engaged couples on the next page, utterly dampening their dreams of spending February 14th alone in a dark corner of a dorm room, counting all the money saved by not having a boyfriend or girlfriend.
For Goonchild, enough was enough.
Determined to find a date for the Spring Formal, he has begun skateboarding and strumming a guitar outside the Baxter dormitory entrance. He has also taken an interest in playing piano. Some speculate that this has everything to do with the piano in the Johnson lobby, but Goonchild insists that it is for art's sake.
Either way, Goonchild is on the prowl, and if you can't find him near Baxter or Johnson, check the third floor of the Warren Library, because chances are he's been staring at you for the past hour.
Look out ladies! Good luck Daniel.

I have witnessed this phenomenon in the Johnson lobby...Goonchild certainly loves singing his rendition of Josh Groban songs at the top of his lungs while banging repeatedly on the piano keys. PBA courtship at its best
i absolutely adore this picture...omg! who IS that?!
deal with it
The Johnson Lobby piano is the worst instrument I've ever played on! I'm pretty sure it hasn't been tuned in over a decade.
Besides, since when did playing the piano ever help anyone find a date?
oh it helps. And it is true I love in Johnson and you never really see any of the girls there tapping the ivories. I don't even know if the guys that play it actually go to PBA.
I'll have you know I met my future husband as I was walking around Towers. That was six years ago. PBA love at it's best baby!
A Pianist:
I used to be a member of SG, and the piano was tuned in the Spring of 2005. I am actually the one that got it tuned. Has it been tuned since? Highly doubt it. So not a decade, only three years.
SGA got the piano tuned in Spring 2005 huh? That's a lie. I was on SGA that spring and I never heard anything about it.
