...stage door - honestly, what do you have to mope about? The Beatles, in the first flush of their fame (when they wore matching suits), got it right.

A few months later, the college threw out the policy. The Union even opened up to women briefly in 1969, until huge numbers of Quad girls overcrowded the dining hall...
