Instructional Staff

David Leyzerovsky

David, a.k.a. Mr. Lazer. He's our favorite TA. On the first day of Dissent, 07.1, Mr. Rickford introduced the enigmatic Teaching Assistant, David. As students puzzled over his last name, Chrispy shouted, "Laser? With a Z? Mr. Lazer?" David's first word to the class was "No." And he said so quite forcefully.

• Mr. Lazer returned from long, arduous copy assignments noticeably more relaxed.
• He showed up at numerous dances with the munchies.
• He was plagued with a perpetual five o'clock shadow, leading us to believe that he shaved at night.
• He ranged from cranky but brilliant to overly friendly and mildly ridiculous.
• Sometimes, he would burst out laughing for no apparent reason.
• Once, a fly landed in his hair and stayed there for nearly an hour.
• On Love Tape Day, he rejected "not the love, just the tape."
• He speaks Russian, which we all agree is fairly awesome.
• His only friend was the TA on crutches (did he throw him down the stairs? Well???)
• Frustrated at his lack of introduction, Rachel once shouted down the halls of Uber Quad, "Well, for all we know he could be some mythical being from the Midwest. I mean, he could eat babies!" Henceforth, David was known as the Baby Eating Hipster Unicorn from Idaho.
• Thea wrote a song featuring our favorite TA, which can be found on YouTube.
• It is possible that his name is, in fact, Konstantin.
• He is Facebook stalked to this day.

Bret Kramer is perhaps the site director with the longest reign in CTY history, which seems to have ended in recent years. Nonetheless, with the exception of some longstanding members of Lancaster's instructional team, Bret's time at CTY is probably unrivaled. He has his own page.

Campus Staff

Betty the Cardswiper

Betty the Cardswiper, a.k.a. Betty Negley, is a staff member of Dickinson College.

Every year, Betty Negley has faithfully sat in her chair at the cash register, saying, "Hel-lo. Thank-you." She has the exact same intonation every time, much to the delight of Carlisle CTYers. She has also been known to start conversations and pose for pictures. She was toasted to at Passionfruit numerous times.

She becomes mind-bendingly angry if food is stolen (e.g., taking a donut or two to eat at Passionfruit). Her wrath is also awakened when she sees people playing with their food (e.g., putting tea leaves in milk). You will not like Betty when she is angry. She would also flip out if you tried to get out of the cafeteria through her door instead of the one near the tray receptor. Some kids, in their super fun talk of partying in people's pants, took to saying "Tengo una fiesta en mis pantalones con Betty."

In 07.2, a Passionfruit initiation was singing a song about Betty, while another was doing an interpretive dance.

Some people choose to call her B-Negs.
