For whatever reason, there’s a bit of a tension between the two programs and, mixed with the fact that we have different schedules and don’t bump into each other very often, there aren’t a lot of opportunities to mingle. (And to be honest, tonight was a bit like a high school dance with the journalists mainly sticking to their side of the room and the librarians mainly staying on ours.)
As for any “rivalry”, they definitely did more singing than the librarians did but then again, they’re all born with microphones in their hands. 
We, on the other hand, kicked ass in winning door prizes so I guess that balances things out a bit. 
Plus we showed them how librarians do things by getting up as an entire group to sing “Brown Eyed Girl”.
Met one J-School student who is from Saskatchewan so that was cool as well. Capped the evening by dueting on “Saskatchewan Dreaming” (to the tune of “California Dreaming”) with her since she didn’t know “Running Back to Saskatoon” and they didn’t have “Last Saskatchewan Pirate”.
