West End Girls lose cake-baking contest
The fourth floor Mama's Boys lived up to their name in a challenge for the highly coveted McNair Hall Cup.  The Cup is supposed to resemble the Stanley Cup but instead looks like a bunch of tin and other scrap metal pasted together.  The current cupbearer can be challenged by another house in a fair and reasonable competition.  It was in such a competition that the Mama's Boys, a self-described clan of 90 beer-guzzling brutes, managed to defend the Cup against a challenge by the West End Girls. 

Each house made a cake that was judged by an elite panel of judges, including a chef from the luxurious Cafe McNair and other connoisseurs of fine baked goods.  Both houses made cakes with an Easter theme.  The West End Girls made a cake with a duck on it and the Mama's Boys made a cake with an Easter basket on it.  Both sides presented their cakes and the judges decided that the Mama's Boys had won cake-baking contest.
