The Following Takes Place between 7PM and 8PM...

Andy Morris was trapped at the top of the Campanile. Wasserman had worked with Morris many times before and knew all of Morris' tricks. There was no way for Andy to escape.

The Student Action chair, David Wasserman, and 10 student action lackeys stood at the base of the Campanile. Morris was trapped at the top of the building and was no longer a threat to Student Action. But the party wanted to do away with Morris once and for all.

"Why aren't you doing your work!" yelled the Student Action chair.

With that, the lackeys began to draw an exclamation point, the signature sign of the SQUELCH! party, in chalk at the base of the tower.

John O'Connor paced back and forth in his office in the SQUELCH! headquarters. He was worried about the face of Morris. He also knew he couldn't keep the Student Action members prisoner without facing political and even military pressure. He decided to wait another hour and if no word of Morris was heard he would interegate them himself with the help of Joe Rothberg.

The Student Action members finished their chalking and carefully coated the exclamation mark with spraypaint.

"It looks like the work of SQUELCH!" said Wasserman, "We're ready."

"It's all up to you," said the Student Action chair.

Wasserman and the Student Action lackeys began to place explosives around the base of the Campanile. When they were finished, the members of Student Action and Wasserman stood back.

Wasserman took a deep breath and looked down at the trigger. He hesitated.

"What's wrong?" asked the Student Action chair.

"We can't do this," said Wasserman, "I can't kill a friend and I will not blow up an important piece of Cal history!"

"You're weak," said the Student Action head. She then pulled out a gun and shot David Wasserman in the head. Wasserman's brains splattered over the pathway and his body slumped to the floor. "I'll have to do this myself."

She grabbed the trigger and pushed the button.

The Campanile, with Morris trapped at the top floor, went up in a blaze of fire and rubble flew across the Berkeley campus. All that was left was a pile of concrete and a chalking of an exclamation mark.
