Minneapolis

One hundred and eighty-seven or so of the faithful (including ladies) showed up for the annual business meeting, a ritual systematically subordinated to a place somewhere between the roast beef and the cherry tarts, at the Inn Towne Motel, the city's newest oasis. Soft-pedalling the officialese was the Association's outgoing president, BillFrenzel '50, who gets a bellyful of that at the State Legislature, where lately he has been ensconced as a freshman representa- tive. (His constituents, for a long time, were more certain of him than of their governor. That's all settled now.) Anyway, seated near a lady from Hanover was a fellow Bill introduced as "a tall dude named Dickey," who reported news of the College.

An aside from him about the role of luck in the performance of last fall's varsity footballers provoked a polite guffaw from the direction of Bob Krieger '41, who has been there.

Frenzel gave way to Kent Calhoun '52, new president. Cal is selling steel when he's not teaching eighth graders from the old neighborhood how to defend against the jump shot, a phenomenon barely emergent in his Doggie days.

Other officers for the new year are Dick McFarland '51, vice president; Lyman Wakefield '33 (still), treasurer; John Donnelly '57, secretary, and Tom Keller '57, assistant secretary.

One of Cal's first official acts was to implore the management of the Nankin, our weekly (Mondays) watering hole, to expand our seating reserve. Lately the average attendance has been growing, from six or seven to twelve or so, including, usually, an out-of-towner.

Most consistent in this latter category has been Jack McDonald '40, of Chicago, who stops off on his rounds of selling advertising space in a business-computer trade magazine. Bill Spoor '46, is another traveler, but he came to lunch and stayed. The Pillsbury Co., for whom he is vice president of the Overseas Division, has moved him here from New York.
