the ESTABLISHMENT
Led by the ultimate PC feminist yuppie, Pres. Andrea ("It's pronounced 'An-dray-ah'") Garcia-Thompson rules the campus with a caustic personality and slightly warmer clothes. She lives in the PC culture and is the epitomy and center cause of the happenings on campus. Her desire is to see a total-PC university, where Bisexual Asian Studies replaces the Math department, where the mascot (the Port Chester Indian) is changed to a whooping crane, and where individual non-PC free-wheeling punks are eliminated. Her speech reflects is full of PC references ("noise pollution" and the like), and she installs such discipline actions as Sensitivity Awareness Weekends as punishments. Her accomplice is Rand MacPhearson, who's only common interest is the hatred of the Pit. Above President Thompson lies the Trustees, who are staunchly conservative but outclassed in today's PC culture. Their goal is to rid themselves of this annoying president, but have no legal grounds to do so.

the CAUSE-HEADS
They find a cause and stick with it -- for about a week. They are the Cause-Heads, a mob of liberal environmentalists concerned about everything but doing little about it. Their leader is Moonbeam, a retro-flower-child of the 60's who loves trees and cows more than people. She keeps the group fired up in protest after protest, changing the cause to reflect changing concerns. At the time of Tom's visit, the Cause-Heads were anti-red meat, resulting in the meat tossing incident of '94.

the GAY ACTIVISTS
They're young, they're flamers. "Gays in the military, now!" they shout, and whether you agree with them, hate them, or don't care, they're still there. The Gays are more concerned with fashion and equal rights than any other causes, and whine more than do anything.

the WOMYNISTS
"Those aren't women, Tom, those are Womynists" Droz instructs his naive pre-frosh intern. By far the most PC group on campus, the Womynists are a force to be reckoned with. They reject all signs, symbols, and memories of male oppression by donning military wear, abstinance from shaving, and, of course, removing any mention of "men" from their language. They were the first to protest the "penis party" that the Pit threw, and the last to buckle. Samantha, one of the newest members of the Womynists, seems not to be a willing part of them. She had previously dated Droz (and given him his "phallis knickname") and still retains some feelings for him.

the AFROCENTRISTS
It's a white devil's conspiracy, and we all know it. Or do we? The Afrocentrists is the black minority movement on the PCU campus, untrusting of all Caucasions and forming a tight defensive band for themselves. They're also a bit paranoid. But just a bit.

the COMPUTER GEEKS
They are the nerds, the 4.0-ers, the ones who get their homework in a week before it's due. And in the last week of school, they're working like frenzied dogs to pump out their senior thesis in the computer lab, headed by the Super Computer Geek. Stereotypes of all hackers are found here - the thin, almost pale kid more protective of his computers than anything else, who smokes and jitters on a constant caffine high. But after Tom destroys the computer lab, these geeks are on a mission from God to kill him.

JERRY TOWN
Ok, they're the junkies. Hippie junkies. Hippie groupie junkies on reefer. But they're one of the best groups featured in the film. Their leader, Mersh and his friend Kosmo partake eagerly in bongs, bands, and 'bees. During the IM finals frisbee game, they lost to the Womynists 14-1 even with the help of Blotter, Jerry Town's dog (scoring the only point). Mersh and Kosmo are good friends of Gutter, and love funk music.

the TOWNIES
Townies and college students have always had an ongoing rivalry. Tom blunders into a group of these Connecticut rednecks (hi Bonzo!) and nearly gets attacked.

the JOCKS
The athletic system has always been prominant in university life, but lately they just haven't been pumping out the high intellectual minds that they used to (or did they ever?). These guys are seen as a bunch of jocks who live for two things: beer and women. What else in life is there?

BALLS AND SHAFT A splinter group of Psi Kappa Mu after fraternaties were disbanded, who decided to go the extreme preppie Republican conservative route, and left the Pit behind (who got their house). Led by Randall MacPhearson, their goal is to wipe out the pit and restore the college back to the days where the rich ruled and minorities were trampled under their feet. Other members of Balls and Shaft include B.D., a gargantuan man with a small brain, and Carter Prescot, the pledge-master of the house. They live in a hidden underground house, waiting for the Greek system to be revived.
