...Freshmen Sam Butler and Bill Okerman brought home two firsts in the track events as Butler led a Crimson sweep of the quarter-mile intermediate hurdles and Okerman won the half-mile. Butler also captured third in the javelin and 120-yard high hurdles while Okerman carried the second leg of the Crimson's successful mile relay team...
...seems that Camille has been jailed for committing only one murder, of Arthur, a philosophically inclined exterminator and the only man throughout who genuinely loves her. (Her three other encounters -- Clovis, Sam Golden, and Murene, a shyster -- are strictly gents after a nice piece of ass). They make a suicide pact, planning to jump off a church tower.
