Clearly, there are a number of permutations of the word

dork, varying in degree from nerd to dweeb to geek. Even

the most handsome Fly Club members and the most
avant-garde Advocate artists have a suggestion of dork
coursing through their veins. The lush lacrosse players of
the ather !"th floor, no matter how many kegs of beer
they consume in one sitting, will still show up in the dining
hall for an early breakfast surrounded by abstruse physics
formulas. y roommates and #, disregarding our
pronounced penchant for parties, cloistered ourselves in
our rooms this spring preceding a number of senior year
rights-of-passage$ thesis deadlines, orals and general
e%ams. All the things that make us fun and normal &like
other college kids from 'oston College and 'oston
(niversity) are tempered with bookish propensities,
obsessive-compulsive proclivities and stringy-haired,
bespectacled, plump, nail-biting, acne-spotted
predilections.
