In response to queries posed in the last Alumni Magazine article, Tim Dreisbach responded with the following information: Yes, they still play softball on the Green, but they seem to be informal pick-up games, not the intramural games we experienced; and chariot races occur no more on the Green during Green Key Weekend; apparently, students must be busy with more civilized matters (such as class work and extracurricular programs). Tim reports that the Winter Carnival statue was a bit of a dud this year due to the unfortunate bad weather. Furthermore, he saw no evidence of any individual statues in front of dorms and fraternities; he is hoping to rally local alumni to build some statues next year. He also describes other activities on the Green that are quite different from our days on campus: Since there are more take-out cafeterias at both Collis and Thayer, the southern half of the Green is more crowded with people just "hanging" and enjoying the ambiance; he witnessed several students fly-casting with rod and reel (Tim suggests that they should look for fish elsewhere); and, after the first snowfall last November, he noticed about a dozen lovely ladies cross-country skiing around the Green in nothing more than two piece bathing suits. I guess the ambiance has changed. Thanks to Tim for his informative e-mail and also many thanks to him for his hard work on behalf of our class as head agent for the Alumni Fund.
