Hackerman's talks are traditionally brief, to keep his listeners on
their toes. It helps him, too, when he forgets his glasses.
Rethinking Hackerman
One more aspect of the Thresher's obnoxious
bitchiness this year (now to be reformed) has been
its shabby treatment of President Norman
Hackerman. (Last year in the Trasher, the editor
suggested a contest to find Hackerman a middle
initial. We won't dwell on that birth deformity any
more, nor will we mention that a laboratory
accident deprived the Hack of his sense of taste
and smell. Fortunately for him, he can't smell the
bird dung which covers his house.)
But, after all, the Hack is only human. (Wayne
Hale attests to this fact in an exclusive interview
on page 4.) Here, then, in a revisionist vein, we
present a warm, affectionate view of our President,
seen in day-to-day activities. Enjoy it, it's nice.
Never a man to mince words, the President is known for his
candid, abrupt style. Some incorrectly say that he lacks taste
(whoops, sorry!) in dealing with others. Actually, he's quite
funny.
Wealthy people give money to the University because they like Hackerman's approach: "he speaks our
lingo," says one. They like pretty cocktail waitresses, too.
Not unlike most people, Hackerman
occasionally tipples a little. But only a
little.
Yes, Rice is lucky to have such an excellent
President. Even if he doesn't have a middle
initial, he's nice.
