Chances are, he she was prob- ably at Ratz, Mur- docs, or Mirage celebrating the end of finals and the be- ginning of summer vacation.

Perry agreed. Others of the summer work force included those on internships. Sean Wall gained experi- ence for his politi- cal science major by working for Sen- ator James Mc- Clure. Leslie Dan- ielson also rubbed elbows with Capitol Hill elites, while Brad Drussel la- bored at the Penta- gon for three months. Summers just weren't what they used to be before college.
