	Jeez!  The admissions office spends tons of 
money each year trying to upgrade the image of the college.
They slave away in vain to make it seem as though we're just
a nice, normal liberal arts college like Harvard or Yale.
Along comes an alumnus who blows away all their efforts, no
doubt thinking that nothing exciting happens now that *his*
class is gone.  Hey, we almost blew up the school last year.
Maybe we can manage something better this coming Ren Fayre.
