HH) HH i] —— | TO WRITE HOME ABOUT ( HH | The longest letter in the world couldn’t have told the entire story. But that didn’t stop stu- dents from taking 15 minutes to jot down their free-flowing ideas, lick tangy 22-cent stamps, and send personalized messages homeward bound. From postcards to packages, students sent word of a year in which things that ‘‘just don’t happen at Idaho,”’ did. During August rush, fraternities replaced beer kegs with rootbeer taps. Although the state drinking age was 19, Greek houses opted to go “‘dry”’ in anticipation of future legislation. Also dry were ASUI student government coffers. After correcting a $61,000 shortfall in 1986, fall budg- ets were back in balance for the first time in three years, despite a $27,000 “Argonaut” deficit. As first semester wore on, students stopped writing home for money after they received checks in the mail from Uncle Sam. The IRS returned $466,000 in Social Security taxes, er- roneously collected since 1981. Meanwhile, as football Coach Keith Gilbertson wrote his team a ticket to the NCAA playoffs, university police officials issued a $40 parking citation for his pos- session of a bogus ‘“‘protest’’ permit. And although the coach won his parking appeal, his team lost its bid for a national championship. Between the headlines, students survived the daily routine of classes and quizzes. They munched on McDLTs and Taco Pizza. And whether they attended a GDI Week tug-of-war or a Greek exchange, there was always SOMETHING TO WRITE HOME ABOUT. MH | ——— =— at A ))) ( y Opening
