To make up for being absurdly deficient in such matters as sports and GPA power, the men of Blacker became absurdly campus-oriented, building coileehouse and ASCIT leaders. In the meantime, the frosh were learning to punt like fanatics. Monahan did the only studly thing left to him - got mono - and sent his love and kisses. O-Mannhad a hard time with a Scrippsie, from the conference by the same name -it seems she writes poetry. Picture, ifiiyou can, O-mann trying to make out in the back seat of a car, she scribbling her every reaction in a little black book. Anderclam enterprises staged a success- ful gimmick rally. Stern won, but what he doesnit know about the improbable goings on at Cooperis off-course check- point will never hurt him. Sue Martin ac- cepted an invitation to come to dinner. Dazed from a night without repose, Stern picks up the social phone, which is ring- ing - Is this the Lee Johnson resi- dence?', Yes, in a manner of speakingf, Is Mary Lynch there?,' f?iS'708t+?! ! lu Yes, it was a fantastic year. Third term last year, Nemzer and Rhodes and Garet and Rubenstein and Johnson and Erick- son and in general Blacker's talent show was a big success. Judy's stock was busted when Marsha got the Wombat award. Tucker left for greener pastures. Cooper and Allen took over the Little T and in- serted some subtle allusions to the super- iority of Blacker House. Johnson spent unwarranted amounts of time discussing bills with Gangis secretaries. Some of the new ofhcers elected this year were Johnson, Kamm, Radomski, and Szolovits.

out to be practically engaged. Undaunted, O-mann asked number one out again, but her boyfriend was un- ee,a enthusiastic, and the date was arranged with number two. Number two had a test but played sick and sug- gested number three. O-mann had a chat with three on the phone and drove over at the appointed hour to pick her up. Lo and behold, who should his real date turn out to be but number four disguised as num- ber two . . . , or was it number two masquerading as number four? fNames withheld on request, but mainly because of confusionl. Erickson had a similar exper- ience when he was set up with the purely fictional Miss Linda Prankf, who turned out to be a long-lost prime interest. The Apocalypse emerged as producers of projection of all descriptions-a huge Snoopy between Firestone and Guggenheim, a coffeecup on top of Throop, a supply of gladiators and pagans for the orgy, and plot- ting the intricacies of the Fourth Undercover Kremlin Espionage Dance. Ottensmann and Kamm got satis- faction in biology lab, second term Q -I-H off in Kerck- hoff ! j At an exchange in the land of the Scurves, L.D.P. turned go-go dancer, then launched into a wiggly strip act, until Duke or somebody told her to put something back on. Haviland and Erickson passed the magic barrier and went to celebrate at the B. P. where Erickson quaffed his very first brew. vw 26

DABNEY HO T It This is a serious frosh. 28 Burn baby burn. Third term 1966 began in sunny Dabneyland with the usual enthusiasms of a new excomm, having to put out with something to overcome the lack of upperclass talent in the house, there being only senior left and the Red Baron gone forever. Nev- ertheless, life remained pleasant, frosh continued showering, and hard work by officers gave prom- ise of big things to come. Following in the glorious tradition of Scott Qtelephonej, and Powell Qtele- visionl , Eyler and the excomm came through with bigger and better capital acquisitions, this time in the form of a refurnished gameroom, Gerritsen and Lehman doing the major renovating. The powerful Dabney sports machine, reeling from three 7th's second term, found renewed vigor, and rolled to a 3rd in basketball on the strength of 4 early wins, bolstered by the off-campus trio of ZBSP. In tennis, led by Satterthwaite, the Darbs continued their domination of this sport with a lst overall. The Lehm, Mitze, Bennett, Zeller, Kidd, Doucette social mob, which slowly lost the last 4 Qby salami tactics?j, began trying to polish them with an active although lower-key social program. Beach parties, the traditional faculty party, held at R.Ffs place when the famous one was in Ohio, oliiceris initiation party featuring the great Dance of the Rings with dancers and originators alike ending up like submarines, and institution of cooperative stomps with the Red Terror of the north highlighted the term. Afore- mentioned lone senior, one Minnesota Slims, aid- ed by several off-campus friends, managed to pro- vide the frosh with a few hours pleasure on
