Still, while students may bring their Pre-Frosh by this weekend's festivities, it is not the long-awaited event dominating campus discussion. In fact, these intrepid first-year reporters, one of whom even sacrificed a weekend of studying to document the Brown party scene, had heard nary a word of Harvard springfest until they were assigned this story several weeks...
Anyone who's ever been on a tour of the campus knows the Widener story. The intrepid, but not-too-bright Harvard grad who went back into the ship as it was sinking to rescue a rare manuscript. But very few ever learn the Straus tragedy. And of those who do, fewer remember this random piece of school trivia.

Like myself, they too are hiding failures from parents, friends or roommates. Perhaps...
...addition to the utter vagueness of this passage, two major problems with Houge's interpretation present themselves. First, who is the "bearer of a petition?" No doubt one would expect a character similar to the intrepid Artemidorus in Julius Caesar, who stands outside the Senate waiting to give the doomed Caesar a written warning of his demise. But whom does Hogue submit? "Jeane Dixon, one of the foremost prophets of modern times" who claims to have predicted the Kennedy assassination. A little shaky...
