A Classy Reunion It was the best ot times, it was the worst of times, there was Bowser, Bobby Knudson ' s ax, Mohammad and his brother and endless electric punch par- ties. There was the dirt, the roaches, a bat on the third floor, broken into soda and candy machines and, every Friday, the maids. It was the strongest politi- cal block at American University and remains so today. The freshman class president student senator were residents of the Cock . From September 1970 on, every time a veteran of Hancock hall appeared on a bal- lot at A.U. he had an automatic block of close to 75 votes as a gesture from his fellow residents. No other group could ever match that advantage or that kmd of turn out. Today veterans of McLean Gardens still sit on the courts, work on the publications and serve on various university committees. Now the Cock is slated to be torn down with the rest of McLean Gardens as part of the Friendship Heights renewal pro- ject but it bears the mark of the guys who suffered together in those hallowed halls. A Mayday sticker still greets one at the door. Our old posters hang on the walls. And in the room of Jerry Snyder and Kenny Rabin, on the first floor, an overhang still reads It was a very good year. 24
