Interlocution: Scuttlebutt

THIS IS the first in a series of hard-hitting interviews with important

and/or interesting people on campus. This week, Cord Associate

News Editor Tim Sullivan got the nitty-gritty on former student, don,

head resident, present day WLUSULounge Supervisor, and all-round

nice fellow Dan Dawson, the man behind Wilfs and The Turret.
