[Husker] Tommy Lee Goes To College

[Eric Erlandson]

Bill McLaughlin was the chemistry prof so popular that student groups
petitioned to keep him at the U.  He plays a good harmonica, and it would
have been fun to see him and Tommy jam together.  Maybe we will. 

I was dismayed to see that disgracefully ugly admin building exterior on
national television.  It's one of the real lowlights of the city campus.
