Tom Weatherwax offers humorous football slang and definitions for nonfans to grasp Super Bowl VI. The piece riffs on halftime acts, player roles, and common game terms with playful, era-specific jokes and college-town flavor.
A wall of unprinted answers shows varied aims from students and staff. Entries include food requests, better school effort, quitting chewing tobacco, avoiding Poland, stopping drinking, finishing started jobs, improving coordination, loving Debbie, and other quirky pledges.
A satirical list mocks 1972 resolutions by naming figures from politics, education and entertainment. It parodies aims from restoring mustaches to stopping sensational stories, with lines like Van Wyke growing a mustache and Nixon clarifying himself, finishing with Beveridge and Queen Elizabeth.
A collage of trivia and skits from a 1960s column. It wallows in averages about TV watching and income, folds in a five man poker puzzle with brands and cigarette counts, a humor piece about Doug Fitzgerald and The Script, a spoof Santa list for notable figures, a police case about a Dixon boy swallowing a bag, and a science fiction cannon that could alter Earth orbit. It closes with Leap Year notes and cheeky future topics.
