	Fat Albert was a 370/?168?.  It was the last to live in the bottom
floor of the Math building.  The 3033 was called Myron, and ran from ~1979
until ~1984.  (memory is fuzzy)  Myron once ran for "meanest man on campus";
a contest held every other year in the spring.  It's high priest (Tamar
Wexler) sacrificed an HP calculator (or TI) in front of the Chapel entrance.
Myron was also a registered member of the Society for Creative Anachronism
(SCA), under the name "Myron Van Rensselaer".
