At the beginning of junior year, the guys I hung out with (Gary, Matt, and Brad) and I were overcome with political fever. The race for school president was on.
Rather than help elect another student, we had the half-baked idea of trying to get the concept of masturbation elected school president. One of our favorite metaphors for Beating the Bishop was "Voting for Buchanan".
It was a grass-roots kind of campaign. The Buchanan brand was based on a picture of a right hand. Some of the better slogans were:
"Put five fingers into politics, Vote for Buchanan"
"A nation of millions can't keep us down"
"Vote for Buchanan, everyone's doing it..."
"Rub out the other candidates, Vote for Buchanan"
When confronted by the Dean of Discipline as to the identity of Buchanan, Matt described him as the new kid from Jersey, and quickly ran away.
In later years, I would summarize my junior year as the year of simian discipline:
"The monkey has misbehaved MOST EGREGIOUSLY. Punishment will be swift and severe."
