If college girls are as pretty as they were two decades ago, Eric Van Schaack has got to be the envy of the class. He is assistant professor of fine arts at Goucher College, which unlike Bennington has not gone coed. Eric, his wife Carol, and their daughter Beth live in Lutherville, near Baltimore.

Rick Mainzer, who as an undergraduate must have set a Dick's House record for long-lease crutch rentals after his intramural Softball injury, has done it again. This time a busted Achilles tendon, which rules out skiing for at least a year, and in one of the most consistently white winters the East has had for a long time. Rick is an account executive with G.M. DuBois Co., a sales promotion and advertising firm in Rochester. He, wife Roseve, and daughter Susan Michele (1½) live in nearby Pittsford.

A couple of months ago your super-accurate scribe reported the doings of Ophthalmologist Dick KochmaD, who passed along some news on Stuart Fordyce. Here's Stu's reaction: "Was surprised to read in the '53 class notes that 'l'm running Union Carbide's Cleveland research effort.' I fear Dick Kochman was victimized by poor penmanship and, dare I suggest, poorly fitted spectacles. In fact, I left Union Carbide four years ago and I am now running a research effort for N.A.S.A.-Lewis Research Center. I am head of the Electrochemical Fundamentals Section and have responsibility for a healthy piece of the action in high energy batteries, fuel cells, etc. Just to set the record straight. Cheers!!"

Dick Fleming is now Director of Staff Services for the Massachusetts Public Health Department.

No wonder he's at the Health Department.
