A student dressed up as a cougar led a cheer for Ronald Reagan. Members of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity presented him with a T shirt and hat, and students inducted his wife Nancy into the honorary Order of Diana.

Yes, yes, I know what she means but my head is down on the keyboard waiting for the half-hearted cheer and agitated, pathetic energy that greets The Machine's rebirth. A terminal watcher walks by and says 'I think we have a casualty," and I wonder he is referring to me or the terminal, whose plug I just undid when I crossed my legs. I make a mental note never...
