Buckley, Jr., DC '50, and Garry Trudeau, DC '70; some of the most illustrious Elis have been members of Yale's infamous secret societies. Recent exposure in the big-budget thriller Skulls and a more intellectual Atlantic Monthly article have only added to the mystique and notoriety of Yale's exclusive societies. Although associations such as Skull and Bones, Book and Snake, and Scroll and Key are inextricably linked to the Yale name, these societies play a small part in the lives of most undergraduates, since they consist solely of a few seniors. Nonetheless, the looming presence of their various "tombs" and the mystique they inspire make secret societies an intriguing part of Yale life. --- >From Trudeau's own site ( http://www.doonesbury.com/strip/faqs/prevq_ot.htm ) - Q: Is Garry Trudeau the same Garry Trudeau who was a member of Yale's Skull and Bones Society in 1970? - Brian Smith, St. Louis A: No, he's the same one as the Garry Trudeau who was a member of Yale's Scroll and Key. George W. Bush is the same George W. Bush that was a member of Yale's Skull and Bones in 1968, though. --- http://www.citizenslaw.net/_cases/MachsCat/BushFamily/on_the_bush_family.htm George Upson Waller, who grew up with George Bush Sr. in Greenwich Connecticut, and went to Andover and Yale together was also "tapped" in Skull and Bones. Mr. Waller is part of a special "cell" from 1945 which only had 10 members instead of the standard 15: "It was during the war years and they weren't terribly selective at that point. They were more desperate and only ended up taking 10 people my year. Most people were off at the war. In a normal year I wouldn't have made it." When GVG asked Mr. Waller about some details regarding Skull and Bones he replied "I suggest you should read Gary Trudeau, he's got a lot of it right. I'm a devotee of him." --- http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename=article&node=&contentId=A28930-2000Feb24¬Found=true The real Skull and Bones has a similar mania for secrecy, and according to Yale tradition, Dubya and his fellow "Bonesmen" are required to leave the room if the society's name is so much as uttered in their presence. "Doonesbury" cartoonist Garry Trudeau - during the late '60s a member of a rival society, Scroll and Key - once broke into the Bones headquarters (he won't tell us how) and defiled the place by scrawling one of his comic-strip characters, the football-helmeted B.D., in the guest book. --- IOW, who cares if it's "edgy," Samantha. Trudeau's making a direct reference to S&B. I'd say that's at least worth mentioning, no matter which way your tail flies on it. - jt <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
