Harvard fundraisers probably won't be seen passing the hat at September's 350th celebration, but judging by the alumni the University chose to invite as class representatives, attendance at the event is in part a reward for past giving and service to the alma mater--with the implicit hope that such generosity continues after the big party...
...play "waste a freshman" when they're in a bad mood. I've been wasted by seniors a few times myself, even after I moved on from Weld 10. I got wasted by a professor in front of 300 people when I had the gall to wear a hat to his Gen Ed class. (I had rolled out of bed too late to shower, and so I grabbed my Union Pacific Railroad cap to cover my greases). I even got wasted once by Henry Rosovsky in front of 700 people in "Japan" class. (He asked for an example...
...sheepmen gathered at dusk outside the meeting hall in Mertzon, Texas. They wore cowboy hats (each hat distinctive, matching the weathered face) and belt buckles the size of a Roman's shield. They stood in dusty boots on the scrubby grass and drank strong black coffee out of plastic cups as the night came on.

Theodor Geisel, should find his most famous fictional feline in front of the San Diego Museum of Art, about to be hoisted onto the roof.

Geisel, 82, whose latest best seller, You're Only Old Once...
Kampelman the Democrat is out of the Henry ("Scoop") Jackson mold: like the late Washington Senator, he favors liberal social policies while taking a hawkish stance on national defense. He was not always so promilitary. The son of a hat salesman in the Bronx, Kampelman had graduated from New York University and was working his way through law school when he was drafted in 1942. A Jew, he cited religious reasons in declaring himself a conscientious objector. Says he: "I just couldn't see myself killing anyone." Rather than fight, he volunteered for alternative service in a program...
