Skule Nite is a musical revue / comedy / sketch show run entirely by Engineering students at the University of Toronto. It is put on annually at Hart House, and is a professional-level production done entirely by volunteers.

==History==
The origins of Skule™ Nite can be traced back to the early years of the 20th century. At that time, there was no show as such, but frequently students and professors would perform short skits and musical ensembles at social events during the year. In 1920, the Engineering Society appointed a Stunt Night Committee to bring together all these scattered dramatic efforts into one show. There was so much interest in this idea that it was decided Massey Hall should be rented for the performance. At 8:30pm, on Wednesday, March 2, 1921, a entitled “Ngynyrs in SPaSms” was performed there with overwhelming success. The show contained eleven skits, ranging from "the Toronto Dislocation Commission" to "the Adventures of Chloreen". The show was accompanied by a student band called the "Toike Oikestra". The show was such a success that it was repeated verbatim the following year, with attendance of over 2000.

In 1923, the show was moved to Hart House. At the time, Hart House was only open to male students due to the stipulation of its founder, the Massey Foundation. However, Hart House could be opened to both genders for special events, so in order to “bring the lady friends into the House to enjoy all the facilities that it had to offer,” the Engineering Society organized "Faculty Night", a comprehensive showcase of displays and events put on by engineering students and departments of which the theatrical presentation was only a small part. At the same time, a new format of School Night, combining a variety of theatrical reviews and displays, competitions and dancing, was established, and continued as such for over twenty years. In the late 1940′s, ‘School Night’, ‘School Nite’, and eventually 'Skule™ Nite', evolved into the extravagant evening of theatre as it is known today, and enjoyed the reputation of being the most popular ‘Informal Night’ on campus.

This popularity continued through to the later 1960′s when attendance at Skule™ Nite had begun to drop off, as was the case for many campus activities at the time. Although the spirit of Skule™ Nite was less affected than most faculties, by 1968 it was becoming very difficult for the Engineering Society to justify the expense. The next year the Engineering Society, still suffering from the debt of the year before, would not support another Skule™ Nite.

Four years later, as a tribute to the hundredth anniversary of the faculty, Skule™ Nite was resurrected, originally intended to be one time only. The success of that show, however, supported by an enthusiastic coterie of enthusiasts of the theatre, has resulted in a 33-year unbroken run of theatrical delights, culminating with last year’s three-hour “Musical Comedy Adventure of Epic Proportions!” Then Director Jon Hoss, NΨ 0T5, himself a 4-year veteran of the cast, suggested his show would “feel a lot more like a musical than like a sketch comedy show. The cast will take the audience on a suspense-filled adventure around the world, filled with madcap action and comedy. We are, however, still staying true to the Skule™ Nite style.” As for Skule™ Nite 0T6, Director Leona Smith and Producer Alice Xu have crafted another edition of “madcap action and comedy” that is alive and well and welcome in the 21st century. Certainly time well wasted.

Toike Oike (Newspaper)

2011-04-20T00:45:14Z

Navid.nourian:

The '''Toike Oike''' is the humour newspaper produced by the [[Engineering Society]], billing itself as "The University of Toronto's Humor Newspaper since 1911". At the time of its creation in 1911 it served as a means of serious communication between EngSoc members, notably to provide a platform for the discussion of Engineering Society elections, but over time it has developed into a newspaper whose prime focus is humour. [[The Cannon (Newspaper)]] now fulfills the role of the "old" Toike. The Toike is run completely by a group of student volunteers and publishes on a monthly basis. Copies are available at news stands across campus and outside the EngSoc office in the basement of the Sandford Fleming building, on the Skule™ Newsstands.

==History==
The origin of the meaning of "Toike Oike" has been lost in time. One popular theory states that in the early days of the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering, there was a caretaker named Graham who worked in the [[Little Red Skulehouse]] and had a thick Irish accent. This caretaker was fond of telling students, who would work until late hours in the lab, to "take a hike" when the building closed every night, but because of his accent the phrase was heard as "toy-keee-oyk". When it came time to establish a new [[Skule Yell]], the students decided to incorporated this phrase into it, and later to use it as the name of the original engineering newspaper.

==Toiking==
In recent years, the tradition of "Toiking" has become a popular use of the Toike Oike newspaper. It is a form of "involuntary make-up application", where the back page of an issue of the Toike is rubbed vigorously against the face of a person. The back page always contains content printed almost entirely with black ink (covering the entire page) so that upon completing the action described, the person being Toiked is left with black ink residue all over their face. However, this look is not a source of shame, and many students who have been Toiked choose to proudly wear this new look for at least some time before heading to a bathroom to scrub the ink off.

Famous Examples of people who were Toiked:
*Coal miners
*Chimney sweepers

== Positions ==
The Toike Oike does not have as large a hierarchy as most professional newspapers, but there are still defined positions within the paper:

'''Editor-in-Chief'''

The Toike has usually operated with only one Editor, an elected Project Director of the Engineering Society. The Editor is responsible for all administrative tasks from organizing meetings, collecting content, and managing the budget.

'''Head Writer'''

The head writer is a large mountain of comedic material and potential. They typically provide a large volume of the written content in the Toike and are charged with making up new content on the fly as the Editor requires.

'''Head Graphics Editor'''

The head graphics editor is an encyclopedia of Adobe Photoshop effects and hot keys. They typically provide a large volume of the graphic content in the Toike and are charged with making up new content on the fly as the Editor requires.

'''Layout Editor'''

The layout editor takes the content and arranges it into beautifully-set pages ready for printing. Their weapon of choice is Adobe InDesign.

'''Copy Editor'''

The copy editor checks all spelling and grammar in the paper, ensuring that the Toike is both hilarious ''and'' could be used as a sample to preserve the rules and etiquette of the English language.
