Time is sometimes fast, sometimes slow. It races by vhen there ' s a term paper due, and crawls with an eternity bet veen each tick of the clock during that last class on Friday afternoon. Five years ago gradua- tion ivas at the end of a lifetime. Now, it feels like only yesterday vhen the history of the Class of 1963 began on a sunny, mild, autumn morning.

FROSH HORDES INVADE CAMPUS, screamed the banner head- lines of the NEWS edition waiting to greet us when we first enrolled at Northeastern University, Wednesday, September 3, 1958. While waiting in line to have our pictures taken and receive locker keys, we read that we were the largest entering class in the history of the University and 135 freshman coeds re- sulted in an 1 1-1 male to female ratio, a big improvement, according to upperclassmen. And when we had a spare mo- ment during a hectic orientation iveek to pause and digest the speeches ve heard and booklets we read, we wondered if ve Avould be among the one of every three who vould not be around at the start of our sophomore year. Barely had we settled down to the routine of studying, when we found out that King Husky IV, Northeastern ' s last live mascot, died mysteriously at a New Hampshire kennel, presumably shot because he had rabies. Since we couldn ' t have a live mascot, the News proposed that King Chump, a baboon, be installed in his place. As the canine uproar died down, it was announced that the Student Center Building would become the Ell Student Center, in honor of Dr. Carl S. Ell, who retired as University President in June of 1959. We paid court to Queen Rosemarie Dividio as our first Homecoming rolled around and watched the Hu skies roll over the University of Bridge- port, 36-8. Professor Wallace Bishop proved a true prophet when he predicted that Batista ' s Cuba regime would be overthrown by unknown rebel leader, Fidel Castro, and Secretary of the Army Wilbur S. Brucker praised Northeastern for outstanding ROTC achievement.
