Jepsons Graduate, Leaving Blubberism Legacy
No you’re not seeing double. These
two tall gentlemen are seniors Mike and
Rob Jepson, otherwise known as the
“Jepstone” twins. They came to St.
Mary’s in 1976 after just returning to
the colonies from England where both
graduated from London Central High
School. Rob refers to his experience
across the water as “enlightening.”
Mike, however, had no comment at all
on this subject.
They both feel that their freshman
year here was a much more liberal period,
or to use their own words it was “casual.”
Both feel that at the time they were
“geeks; just two guys that looked alike
and nobody cared.” At the time Mike
and Rob resided together in Sin City.
Then came the split, “ the honeymoon
was over,” and things changed. Mike
went to Caroline and Rob went to P.G.
Even though there is still much bro­therly
affection between the two, they
stated that then as in now, “We agree
to disagree.”
Then, unexpected and almost out
of nowhere Blubberism struck. In domi­no
fashion, the Blubberhead movement
spread from it’s initially small core
(which included the likes of the Bro­thers,
Chris Tallevast, Jerry Johnson,
Dan Haynos, Sue Moss, The Hobbit,
Gary Conway, and Tim Dillingham)
to an inescapable phenomenon to which
no one on campus was cimpletely im­mune.
Reconciliation occurred between
the Brothers to some degree as currently
Rob carries on this tradition at third
center P.G., aided by his . brother on
his frequent visits back to the campus
from his internship at the Benedict
laboratories.
What is a Blubberhead or Blubberism
you ask? Well, in short, it is defined as
irrationality mixed with an abstract
quality not definable in retoricle terms.
Even though there will only be two of
the original Blubbers left after this year,
the Brothers efforts, along with those
of their collequeges, will continue to be
a dominate influence on SMC and Blub­berism
will most probably transcend
space and time.
In concluding the interview Rob
said, “I live for the day when every
student can travel to class in their own
Lococo-mobile.” Mike summed up his
philosophy by adding, “Screw ‘em
if they can’t take a joke. They’ll get
over it.” c+ u

Great progress was made towards our
long range goal of promoting the Wind­surfer
Class as an intercollegiate sport.
Special thanks to all those who have their
time and effort in making this event a
success by working with the race com­mittee
and by competing.
