the Real Life story of the Darkhold gamers
the most famous Latham House resident
Now for the story of Ann Margret (the actress) and the old Latham House.
A long, long time ago, before there was a Complex, the eight houses were
actually separate houses/dorms. Before Latham existed as House 6 in the
complex, it was its own entity.
The people of Latham House were very very happy. They could do anything
they wanted and the campus police generally left them alone because the
Lathamites were fierce and tough. One day a beautiful girl by the name of
Ann-Margret Olsson decided to make Latham House her home. The residents there were
ecstatic --- now they had a beautiful princess to call their own.
Unfortunately, this tale does not have a happy ending. One day the
campus authorities came to Latham House (probably reinforced with Chicago
riot police) and took the beautiful princess away forever - she had violated
the rules by spending *waaay* too much time in what was then an all male
dorm.
The end.
PS: Ms. Margret did not take this too seriously. She still supports
Northwestern University and we're glad to have her among our alums - she is
an example that shows brains and beauty do mix.
This story was told to me back when I was in college at NU. If this is
wrong, I'm sorry, I'm just repeating a fairy tale.
If I have impugned Ms. Margret, she can contact me personally
and I will publicly apologize to her and on this website. :-)
