ALL HAIL Hello Mudda 95 By Kristen Kingsbury Dear Mommy and Daddy, Well, I ' ve almost made it through orientation week, and so far I haven ' t flunked anything, so you can be very proud. I did cry after you left Sunday, but then I remembered you forgot to give me some more money, and I really cried! I need some more money for books; I must have a copy of Pat Boone ' s latest book about teenagers; a set of Hymarx out- lines for my courses; and a copy of A New Approach to Sex written by one of the professors here. Also, you forgot to leave my hatbox of Clearasil, and I ' ll be lost without it! Fur- thermore, I only brought 19 stuffed animals, and a girl down the hall has 23, so send 5 more IMMEDIATELY! I made a hit at my first fraternity party ... I blocked a forward pass from a football player with the ' old brick-in- the-purse ' trick you taught me, Mom. I didn ' t hurt him much, because he has played a lot of football without a hel- met. The reason I hit him was, he asked me if I ' d like to look around the fraternity house, and when I declined, he tried to persuade me with a rabbit punch to my Adam ' s apple. (Since I repulsed his advances, many upperclassmen have told me that I shouldn ' t have done it, because ' Killer ' is ac- tually the suavest man on campus, and the others were real rough types.) You were right. The food in the dorm is actually quite in- expensive. It ' s the antidotes that cost. Please send an extra fifty beans for next week ' s remedies. Our dorm counselor told us in a meeting that the dorm would be a second home to all of us, and my roommate said it was a second home to her, but then her first home was the Bridgewater Home for the Criminally Insane. Oh, before I forget, send me some more underwear. I kinda ' lost my head during the panty raid last night (It took place on the corner of Huntington and Mass. Avenues . . . in Joe and Nemo ' s, of all places!), and now I need a few more sets of everything, including chartreuse dress shields. Rest assured. My roommate and I are taking full advan- tage of the cultural opportunities offered in Boston. Why, only last night we went into town and saw a real ' art ' film at the Sailor Sinema. Erich Von Zipper played the lead male role, and Lolita La Fong the female. It was really a good show, but when it was half over, my roommate disappeared, and I had to run home alone. She ' s kind of funny . . . always wears sneakers and a coin changer. When I ask her why, she says, Tuition. She ' s really nice and says she ' ll show me some ' ropes ' some day. Oh, we ' ve had a few mixers so far, and am I discouraged! There was no one from Harvard there . . . just a lot of guys with Clean-Rite written on their jackets. I hope you won ' t get mad, Daddy, but I guess you ' ll have to round up second term ' s tuition after all ... I can never be married by Thanksgiving. (Maybe by Christmas if I can ' tame ' this un- ruly nasal hair.) Oh, please don ' t forward my copies of Presbyterian Life! Get me a subscription to something more intellectual, like Seventeen, or Modern Romances. And under no circum- stances send me any more letters with Mommy and Daddy Love You on the envelope. I don ' t want to get any more horse laughs (There really is a girl here who looks like a Cly- desdale . . . she used to pull the Budweiser Beer wagon un- til she bit Ed McMahon.) Do you remember the nice fellow who helped me move September 29, 19 47 New Twist Enlivens Mayoralty Contest A Stetson made cam- paigning a farce . . . and General Ky told reporters his hero was Adolf Hitler in? Well, he hasn ' t moved out yet, and I ' ve written to Ann Landers about it. Should I tell the housemother, or let him go? Please advise. Well, have to go now. It ' s time for me to dance in the window for the boys outside. Send money! Love, Dresna.

As students at Northeastern, you will participate in a unique for m of higher education. A degree from Northeastern represents all of the ac- ademic studies taught in the tradi- tional four-year college, in addition to professional experience in the field of your choice. The result is a supe- rior education characterized by a strong sense of career motivation. During this week, you will be en- rolling in specific colleges, courses and curricula. In doing so, you are signing up, in the larger sense, for full participation in the experiences of college life. Soon you will be asso- ciating with students from different parts of the country and from over- seas nations as well. You will be ex- posed to faculty members of diverse and opposing points of view. You •N W ' Wf!fV will be asked to assume a degree of responsibility such as you may never before have known. There is no aca- demic credit given for the education that will result from these ex- periences, but success on the college campus, in and out of the classroom, can determine the pattern of a life- time. Much will depend on the com- petency and maturity with which you conduct your affairs. You are beginning your education in an age of great opportunity. Many career fields are open only to the col- lege graduate. Although our nation places a great premium on educa- tion, it expects much of its educated men and women in return. As gradu- ates of this University, you will be richly endowed with the ability to serve mankind. May God guard and guide your individual paths to excellence. ASA S. KNOWLES, President
