- Sung to the tune of Puttin' On the Ritz, Robert(O) Mendel's lyrics ushered in the ensemble's answer to an Orwellian year in which we anticipated a Presidential reelection and more misery for the state of education in America. Clearly most of us were not going to make a living in the "fine" arts, so why not go commercial at the outset?
- Despite a DeKalb tradition of sacrificing cash for culture—a contemporary student show included artworks made out of corners ripped from real US currency—and thanks to the miracle of self-service plain-paper copying, no actual dollar bills were harmed!
