EXCESS While the early seventies were often characterized by shortages, there was also excess. The most obvious was an excess of shortages, but there were other excesses. few of which were missed at Kean. The Surgeon General warned we are becoming a nation of fatties. eating too much junk food containing too much cholesterol and too many additives. We often drank too much beer or other fine spirits, or smoked too many of those funny cigarettes. There were both excesses at the all- college parties and we often paid for our intemperance afterwards. Hell week was an excess ofjust about everything from raw eggs to humiliation but in the end it was the sister and brotherhood that made it all worthwhile, Occasionally we found ourselves in the middle ofa semester when each of five or six professors treated us like his was our only class and the homework piled up and threatened to overwhelm US. But there was plenty of friendship and sharing, two things that can never seem excessive. We traded notes and tutored each other and somehow we all pulled through. All we needed was a little help from our friends. I i li f . - A , l r t , , 1 E 19 lst ,, W 9. , VV W- I an Ji -w . X f ,,. .-'K YS. i f N Q, - N53 x 2. 1 L-..... I -, ' drerfcs-f .

FAIL RE F. Such an ugly letter. Both feared and loathed in the best Hunter Thompson style. How totally unexpected it often was. You borrowed a paper from your girlfriend who had the course last year. She had gotten a B. Now your staring at a big red F trying to figure how the hell to protest without getting even deeper into trouble. Politics. So close and yet so far. You became a candidate and for a brief moment you had your place in the sun. Lots of attention and hand shaking and being allowed to talk about how won- derful you are without sounding egotistic and all sorts of excitement. but then the vote count and gloom. Failure wasn't always so personal. There was Evel and his skycycle, the cen- tral figures in the biggest hype-and-fizzle routine since the Cardiff Giant. Richard Nixon, the penultimate fail- ure. The Great Mandate of '72. Law and Order. Secret Plan to stop Viet Nam. Dearp Spiro and the nattering nabobs of negativisms. H.R. Bob and the White House Plumbers. They gave us news that was fun to watch and material that produced a golden age for satirists. Finally, coming back home we had Sloan Lounge, changed, with the best of intentions, to the Bus Terminal. Cof- feehouse was never the same again. l-1
