ill Our roving reporter, Nancy Brubaker, roamed around campus until she found J. Blue-Jay III. For those of you who don ' t recognize the name, J. Blue Jay III, is the grandson of our school mascot, J. Blue-Jay. His portrait was seen hanging in the Jay ' s Nest, (his former nexting place). Once our roving reporter found J. , as he likes to be called, she asked him to reminice about the past year. What follows is an excerp from that interview. In my grandfather ' s time, this college used to start at a decent, time, September. This August stuff is for the birds - well, actually - it ' s not for the birds, it ' s for the students, thank goodness! I certainly pittied those chicks whose nests were on the third floors of the non-air conditioned buildings. September was hot! Oh, and ni never forget those nestlings, so newly hatched, trying to fit into college life, what ' d they call it? Oh yes, Freshman Orientation. Leapfrog in the dell was the funniest sight . . . the progressive hike, with all those roosters and mother hens cackling at the poor things . . . but they got .their revenge . . . midnight raids through the dorms, getting everyone out of their roosts! And visitation hours went to 10:00 a.m., my grandfather probably turned over in his final nesti;ig place! The semester progressed . . . with Trinell ■enson crowned at Homecoming . . . October Ireak ... the Halloween Dinner . . . soccer (my namesakes did so well, they made it to the MAC ' s) . . . Thanksgiving with that horrid custom of a bird for every table! . . . Christmas was beautiful, no snow, but they got enough of that later ... the Christmas Dinner . . . Santa . . . the Yule Bowl (and the eggnog with Yoder ' s secret ingredient) . . . door decorating ... caroling ... the winter concert . . . and the B-2 Bash got everyone in the Christmas spirit. Then all the birds flew the coup for Christmas Break, which they needed, as their feather brains were plucked! Spring semester brought the Creeping Crud!! (or the flu) and an energy crisis . . . classrooms at 65 degrees . . . dorms at 55 ... and limited hot water hours . . . what was worse was that the college almost decided to close down and go south for a month! The fledglings panicked, summer jobs would have been messed up! Rumors flew, If we shut dowTi for a month, we could still get out in early May if there was no spring or Easter vacations . . . That brought a loud squawk from the students . . . can you imagine going straight through school for a total of three months with no breaks? . . . they would have all turned into cuckoos. Lukily President Carter and the oil companies performed a miracle, and the crisis was averted. Campus life returned to normal. Friedly was up at all hours trying to stop strange objects from rolling into Ober, and the weekend ceremony of 50 students in a room socializing once more abounded ... the cafe began to notice that trays were missing ... Ah yes, the old spirit of fun had returned. Valentine ' s Day brought another delicious dinner . . . February quickly came to a close, with Spring Break on it ' s heels ... A few birds flew south, in hopes of discovering their roots. New pleasure awaited the students when they returned home ... A Dance Marathon, the disco ducks danced for charity a full 24 hours. Such dedication! Oh the fledglings were concerned about world issues, reminded me of the 60 ' s. There was Soup Day. a CROP walk, a
