For one semester we knew what big time college life was like. With reckless abandon we took to Cigarettes and smoking like nsh take to water. Men wore green frosh caps until Thanksgiving, and women blackened their teeth and wore stocking caps on a week rightfully called tthell week? It was only after the D slips came out that we realized there might be another objective in Beloit College. But what was a D slip tor three or four D slipst when fmals were so far away and the Christmas formal was upon us? Come Christmas time and we were hilariously happy to be going home agam-college was such a strainebut two weeks later we were even more hilarious to be back.
