Although he is brilliant (just ask him when you have a few
spare hours) he doesn't seem to be getting along too well scholastical-
ly. He just isn't getting the breaks!

Another interesting point concerning the BMOC is that he has
had such interesting summer jobs. One BMOC on this campus has
done some welding on the earth satellite and then had to take over
for his boss who was constantly under the influence. Another has
helped Clair Bee with his basketball clinic.

One other interesting point about the BMOC is that he really
is a big man on campus. He usually "tips the scales" at between 190
and 230 pounds. He really carries a lot of weight around.

His ancestry is legendary. You name 'em and he's related to 'em.
So, here are some of the attributes of the BMOC. He is humane,
gracious, intelligent but unlucky, an all-around athlete, expert on all
fields, experienced in all fields, big, and has an ancestry that would
make the Lowells green with envy.
A funny thing, however, always occurs; he only stays for one
year. Oh well, I guess he's giving those other colleges a break. A great
guy-don't you think?

DISILLUSION

Beauty in a blind world.
Dead wood on a sea.
Which is real, sound or hearing?
Why bother?

Who will remember
One bird in an October sky,
A robin's egg cracked in an alley?

You will? Why?
What else is there in December but December?
When does three wonder about two?

You are an orbit for you.
N ever tire of your ring,
Its all you've got.
