Simon's days dealing with the Ibis are numbered, as he will pass over his secret Crimson knowledge to the new president at the end of the month.
"I can't wait for Alan [E. Wirzbicki '01, incoming Crimson president] to take over because I'm tired of having the real Ibis cram up my common room," Simon added. "It's a nice display piece, but it clashes with my other accoutrements."
The Ibis, the embodiment of Poonster pride, plays a crucial role in the ongoing Crimson-Lampoon rivalry, which began with a parody of The Crimson in 1901.
"We think it was really stolen. The Crimson would take an obnoxious picture of it and then we would make up," Beale said. "But it never appeared again."
Like the American people with New Coke, The Crimson has no intentions of treating it like the real thing.
