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.

"I didn't know what the hell was going on," Wald said later. "He looked like Lon Chaney in 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame."'

O'Connor said he gave Wald the lollipops "to console him" in case the gorilla theater did not meet his tastes.
