31moment when Nichols was finally ready to retire,
but alas. the woman could not wait and
Nichols did not yet want to retire and
will come back to us as chairman from heaven
provided we change that one little sentence with
which he cannot live which is:
'from which the chairman shall not deviate'
and if we just agree to do that,
HE WILL RETURN but
40Charlie does not really want him but
Charlie is in an awkward position because he
would be the next chair because
Russ cannot hack it nor wants it
poor Russ, he hates me, but then
why did Russ not follow the most recent rule we
unanimously agreed on, namely
that he should have brought the matter back to the Department
before the vote . . . which vote is that again?
that the oceanography request for $60K
50be accorded equal status or opportunity
as that accorded to the NMR request which
I said, the Dean had railroaded throught in the last meeting
of Schoolcouncil which he should not have done
the Dean that is, but who am I to tell the Dean
I am only a lowly senior prof, who
reminds Lois of George Stauffer but
this time, I don't feel like George unless
it is the George that slew the Dragon
and this time, mixing metaphors,
60I rise like the dragonbird Phoenix from the ashes
