FALL- WINTER S TOR Y On September 16th, Exonians flocked back in their annual migration. There were new ringers, of course, new milk machines, a new principal and something called the APC.

Stricter smoking laws cut the most infamous campus buttroom from thirty-two to one lone smoker. The free-wheeling den of Exeter escapism was becoming extinct, preserved only by some dehant se- niors.

Student hunger was almost satiated when this astonishing, unprecedented claim came true.
