ever. And you thought he was really
going to graduate!
Unless this spring is your first
semester at Berhend, you probably
remember good ole Mike. Mike was
the former managing editor and role
model of the Berhend Bacon. Last
fall, after seven long years as a student
at Berhend (hey, lot's of people go to
college for seven years), Mike faked
everybody out by pretending to
graduate. Boy oh boy did Mikey love
his practical jokes. He even carried
this one so far as to talk the
administration into letting him walk
at graduation and receive a fake
diploma. Little did you know this was
not Mike's first graduation walk.

Mike was a little tipsy from the
contents of his shiny new silver flask
that he kept under his robe when he
made this comment. The only other
explanation we have is that Mike
frequently mistook the administration
for more bovine creatures.)
Thanks to a last minute save by a
certain political science professor,
Mike did not really graduate last
semester. He instead took the
semester off to travel the country as
a salesman. When asked about his
experiences, Mike had the following
to say: "Hey, this salesman stuff isn't
so easy. You gotta finesse them a
little. By finessing I mean sputtering
out sentence fragments and lighting
things on fire." After several huge

Frawley. Lilley has competed in the
pageant for ten years in a row and
has, in the past, received no higher
honor than fifth runner up. It was this

wasted time looking for Davenport,
lowa, Mike decided to return to sunny
Erie and get a job handing out surveys
at the mall.
"I am very excited to be coming
back to Berhend after my respite,"
Mike said. Mike says that he plans to
advance the Bacon even further into
the 21‘' Century. "I want to get us some
even better Macs for the office. I love
Macs - can't get enough of them."
Students may remember Mike for
the numerous editorials he wrote
complimenting his friends at SGA, the
Greek organizations, and the Computer
Center. Mike will he writing a new
column next semester called "Happy,

"Mike is such a friendly, kind
hearted guy. He just loves everybody.
I have never met a freer spirit," said

Snyder will be retiring his position at
the end of this semester. He is planning

as long as my unmentionables were
covered then I could do anything that
I wanted to this year," he remarked.
After the crown was placed on his

chest, Lilley shimmied his way down

times at Behrend. Some of the
greatest included hanging out with his
fellow Baconians. "Maybe we
weren't the smartest guys. Maybe we
spent a little too much time puking
off balconies. But we had fun." Mike
also reminisced about the fun times
he has had at Berhend: "There's tons
of stuff to do here. Late night pitch
`n putt, go to the livestock auction and
cruise the 4H babes, throw stuff off
the bridge . ."
Ann Marie Havey , the Bacon Ad
Manager, is also looking forward to
the return of Frawley. He commented
about how the campus would change
when Mike returned: "That's when
the whores come out. Doing their
little behind-shake for the menfolk.
Men laying their trick money down.
Twenty dollars for the rent? Mmmm
hmmmm. Maybe I'll just spend it on
the whore."
