Mayor of Huntington Avenue, Pete Moloney, meets Mayor of Boston, John B. Hynes. SENIOR YEAR Along with the new frosh, September brings foot- ball to N.U During the last few seasons, the kick-off game has been against the University of Rhode Island. Since stealing their mascot didn ' t seem to help the Husky Eleven, all hands turned out at the first rally of the season to help yell the team on to victory. Apparently, we were a few yells short as the Rams squeeked out a 13-13 tie. Then, just as the dust started to fade away on the game, news slowly emerged from the activities office that N.U. mascot, King Husky III, had died — the previous June. A wave of protest followed the announcement. Not that they were protesting that the dog died, but they were ired by the delay in the announcement. Before University officials declared the tardy announcement was a bobble, four editors of the Northeastern News resigned and a wave of almost humorous rumors flew wildly around the campus. Soon though, word was back from the gang from ' 55 who had been to R.O-T.C. summer camp during the preceding months. Talk of inhuman torture soon over- came talk of anti-vivesection. The new building was sprouting steel overnight. Steamshovels had carved away the faculty parking lot during the summer and the superstructure was in the process of being bolted together, or so it looked. The Husky Key announced plans to elect a Mayor of Hunt- ington Avenue out of the student body. With many of the Univerity ' s characters in the running, it was a color- ful, campaign. Bur a relatively unknown name coupled with a staple commodity proved to be too much for the competition. More Baloney with Moloney swept Hon- est Pete into office with a comfortable plurality. As the year wore on, the following events were duly recorded and inscribed into the infallible memory of our next door neighbor, the News .
