What Could Be Sweeter Than A Doc Who Makes House Calls?
A doc who lights it up right after!
Yep, it’s a Camel ad–with beautiful artwork!
Greek Life 1974, Part Cuatro
This last installment of the series shows a young Roger Ebert in the ranks of the Delta Sigma Pi.
Actually, his name is Allen, but come on.
These guys seriously seem older than 20.
And miffed!
It’s more bare calves for the Phi Kappa Theta.
We’ll end with a portrait of Delta Tau Delta–mainly because of Bow Tie Man.
He’s got it going on.
Constipation = No Barn Dance
Greek Life 1974, Part Tres
Today’s installment could also be called “Ladies Under Trees.” Check out Pissy Chrissy on the far left.
Evidently this sorority did not allow curly-haired girls in. 1974 was the last season of “The Brady Bunch,” as evidenced by some very Jan & Marcia tresses.
It’s almost as though the photographer stumbled upon a gaggle of Breck girls in a strawberry field, rocking far-out peasant dresses and understated necklaces.
The gals of Alpha Kappa Alpha flashed their gams in mod mini-skirts. One appears to be confused as to where she should look. Perhaps a palm tree frond has lodged in her ear canal and she is experiencing sudden-onset vertigo.
Lisa Bonet did her best to stay discreet by posing in the back row, but the jig’s up, Lisa.
And so I leave you with this unshaven, sideboob image of Bonet. Ew!
Greek Life 1974, Part Dos
The men of Omega Psi Phi (Sci-Fi?) are the living expression of Springsteen’s “Born To Run” lyrics: the boys try to look so hard. Okay, guys, we get it. You’re super tough, posing by the pool.
By contrast, the dudes of Alpha Gamma Rho seem pleased as punch.
Well, except for sullen “Mugshot” Paul and Ben “Armfarts” Kirsh, shown here. Word on the street was those patchy ‘burns were filled in with Sharpie pen.
And lest we forget the ladies, I give you the ladies of Rho Alpha Zeta. Miss May clearly didn’t get the jacket memo.
Stay tuned for Part Tres, as we travel back in time 42 years to the year Leonardo DiCaprio was born.
Greek Life 1974, Part Uno
Cheers to the drunks boys of Tau Kappa Epsilon! A Schlitz toast to Less Nessman!
These dudes are a klass act.
One more pitcher refill for our pal, Bill Albert. Get down wid yo bad self, Bill.
Hey, Won’t You Play
Bill (KTAI’s “Mr. Music”) Vessey of Texas A&I University in Kingsville shows us how a stray lock of hair pulled in front of the headset makes for a fantastic fringey sideburn.
Chomping At The Gift
And that’s why they don’t always call them donkeys!
Option Number Two, Please
Now My Phone Can Do This
In this pic, Guidance Counselor Homer Gammons (right) visits the lab of Western New England College, where municipal water problems are being studied on an analogue computer.
Actually, 50 years later, my phone may not be able to do that. What do I know?
The wisegeek.org tells me that an analog computer works in parallel, which means that it can carry out multiple tasks simultaneously. A digital computer, even though it may work considerably faster, can only perform one calculation at any one instant…The second difference is that an analog computer handles continuous variables, while a digital computer works with discrete numbers. The difference between these is that continuous variables can include every conceivable number, even irrational numbers, such as Π (pi).
That makes my head hurt. Here’s one used at NASA for space and stuff.
And this one was used for airplanes. Ain’t she sittin’ pretty?
“Huge Electronic Brain, ten tons of it, which is destined to monitor the design, development, and testing of jet engines of the future, even before they are built, left San Francisco International Airport today (July 6) for Indianapolis and the Allison Division of General Motors. A product of the Berkeley Division of Beckman Instruments, Inc., the analog computer system was loaded on an American Airlines DC-6A Airfreighter, grouped in 29 metal cabinets, six feet high and spanning a width of nearly 60 feet. It is scheduled for arrival tomorrow before noon.” Call Bulletin Library, 7/6/56

Is ice what you really want when you’re up to your ankles in it?
