Same as Catalog # 515303. News in Brief: Teeter-totter Marathon. Teeter-totter marathon is a spring fever manifestation at the College of the Pacific, where two students see-saw their way to a world's record. Two college men on see-saw; while one pushes, the other lies dozing on his end in some sort of basket contraption. Aha - a poster on the teeter-totter says Alpha Kappa Phi - these are fraternity brothers, frat boys. The man who's reclining takes a meal from a tray held by an African-American woman. Small crowd of bystanders watch the thing go up and down. Man eats corn on the cob; other man attempts to shave (actually, it looks like his friends are shaving him), while going up and down.
