About 75 students have been accepted off the wait list so far, computed to last year's 89 bitten students ate still left hanging on a special summer wait list. For those who do not end up joining their peers in the Class of '87, the College has guaranteed a slot in the Class of '88. This is the first year such a promise has been made...

Neil Young's version of "Silent Night"--complete with a gut-wrenching, distorted guitar solo--also hit the mark, proving that this hard-bitten rocker has a little bit of holiday cheer...
