Chief Attiliator: Difference between revisions

When Skule's first [[Skule Cannon|Cannon]] was created, a Cannoneer was appointed in keeping with age-old tradition. The Canoneer would be responsible for the selection of the Cannon Guards, making sure that the Cannon actually fired, and to do the actual firing. In addition to this he would have sole knowledge of the location of the Cannon when it was not in use.  

As a matter of protocol, the Cannon is fired by a cigarette butt after a convenient number of verses of [[Godiva's Hymn]]. For the firing, black powder has conventionally been used with finely divided asbestos as wadding. This type of wadding replaced toilet paper in 1964 after the injury to the nurse. In 1959, an artificer was appointed by the [[Engineering Society]] to inspect the Cannon, issue powder and in general look after the material needs of the Cannon.
