Premed Halloween

By Thomas A. Mullen

Halloween came early to the students of Nat Sci 5 when a masked man interrupted their class yesterday to distribute candy.

Clint J. O'Connor '80 left the noon class a few minutes early and returned wearing a gorilla mask. Shouting "Happy Halloween," he tossed $10 worth of candy from his backpack and made his way to the front. He left several lollipops with George Wald, Higgins Professor of Biology, who was lecturing at the time.
