Wobs remembers


1. Rats running across the pledge dorm ceiling. Someone threw a shoe and killed one. Who?
2. The drudgery and humiliation of selling hot dogs on the balcony after football games for pledge father Harley Catlin, amid all the cool ladies while wearing my prissy little white apron. (Editor’s note: Tom forgot to mention that his inebriated pledge brothers refused to add to his embarrassment and the jaunty little paper hat that went with the apron; Harley may have let him ditch the hat at some point}
3. Giving Maurice a haircut {Editor’s note: anyone else remember Maurice after the scalping standing outside the window of a J-school classroom taking notes and wearing a snappy fedora?}

4. Budman!!!
I recall the panicked stampedes to the Hawk that ensued whenever word got out that”the Budman” would be showing up that day.  It meant free beer for all.  Anyone else recall those happy occasions?
Marden: Don’t remember this - I think my roommates forgot to tell me and kept my share for themselves.
