...Small had the bad fortune to be shopping at World Bazaar that night, Mack had the good luck to have a brother married to Congressman Jim Wright's daughter. Mack was arrested and pleaded guilty to malicious wounding with intent to kill, saying stress made him do it.

You may either permit the Raft Race to dwindle into the sort of event favored by Administrators, grandmothers and the pony-riding milquetoasts of Eliot House...or preserve the original intent of this, the last true bastion of fun at Harvard. Nothing short of House pride is at stake here. Those who do not will have to live with their sheepish unworthy selves for yet another year. We challenge you all to take to heart the motto of the Three-Time Champion Leverett House Raft Race Corps...
