beer coasters provided by the Pi Sig's were not sufficient since they were supposed to be used for drug testing, but he does not care. Chip is one of the foremost perpetrators in spreading the sex video of Veronica and Piz; however, it did not have anything to do with its creation. Tim Foyle James Jordan appears as Tim Foyle, a teaching assistant for Professor Hank Landry at Hearst College. Tim seems to dislike Veronica, possibly because Landry seems to prefer her over him. In the first session of Landry's criminology class (in "Welcome Wagon"), he has his students play a detective game, "Murder on the Riverboat Queen."
