Security chief Chet Emmons has no leads as to where the valuable rug has disappeared to or who took it, a student or otherwise. He cites the easy accessibility of Chase Hall to virtually anyone and the impossibility of watching it all the time as the reasons why someone could take such a large item without being noticed. Emmons would like student co-operation in this matter, and anyone who has information about the tapestry should contact him at 4-0129. Mr. Emmons also feels that students should co-operate more with the Security Office by reporting any suspicious looking activities occurring on campus. One recent example of such an incident occurred in Roger Bill when two or three rooms were entered by several "townies" and money was stolen. Students reported the incident and the youngsters were turned 490 PLEASANT STREET -:- AT EXIT 13 MAINE TURNPIKE over to local authorities.

Yasztremski At The Bat byJonMarcus (Octobers. 1978) The Yankees' Revenge byArebeiNehoc

The team was strong, they led the pack A homer batted in a crucial run As finals hit in '78, The New York Yankees had arrived; The Sox were number one By a guy who sells candy bars. The baseball season came. "Yanks Triumph," the Globe read. i. But all the others soon fought back The fever ranged from east to west And the game lost all its fun. The Yanks now led, five to two And even came to Maine. A three game lead had opened up But the Sox didn't like that score For Munson, Ron, and Lou. The Yankees finally went ahead So they batted in two more runs At Bates the loyal fans began "The Red Sox choked!" the fans screamed out i. And thought they had it clinched Soon the board showed five to four. A year-long, stand-off fight But that was nothing new. But the Boston team did not give up To see which team, the blue or red, And came back, inch by inch. It was in the ninth, two men on base Would finally show its might. Big Jim Rice and Freddie Lynn Up stepped number eight Fought back with all their might. The country saw a miracle A hit could decide victory On paper. New York looked real fine, Yasztremski surely was a pro, Upon the fateful date Now it was up to fate. But sooa the injuries came: But dawn had turned to night. The Red Sox won it five to "0" Randolph, Rivers, Bucky Dent And the Yankees lost to Waits. The fans were wild, their nerves on edge All fell, then came up lame. The clouds hung over Fenway It was too unreal, it seemed As the season met its end. Somehow they were all tied up But such a man brought memories The Red Sox won their next few games The Yanks had staged a comeback run Yet the teams would not say die Of what was once an impossible dream. And built up quite a lead. Unparalleled by men. And so they met at Fenway Park Some healthy players was the thing To try to break the tie. The pitch was thrown, the fans were hushed That New York seemed to need. But somehow Catfish lost his stuff; The bat then struck the ball A play-off game was staged. Half past two that afternoon They craned their necks and strained their eyes In mid-July my hopes grew dim; The stage was set, the tickets scarce. In the classrooms students were gone to see where it would fall. The lead was now fourteen. The fans were all dismayed. They all had left to watch the game I couldn't face those Red Sox fans and cheer the Red Sox on. It's strange that Commons was empty that night With smiles full of gleam. The game commenced; the fans were crude; When they were serving pork I But Bucky proved a star. While they sat and watched the bout But what Batesie could think of food Deep down I knew that soon enough Then Reggie Jackson followed suit — The dorms were silent as tombs When Boston met New York? The Yankees' bats would strike; Fans headed for a bar. Sox fans watching in the lounges The pitching soon would come around Yanks fans hiding in their rooms.
