MSU was so happy to get him that, rather than making Todd pay tuition, the school gave him a check every semester. Trying to keep his nerd status under wraps, Todd pledged ATO fraternity. His plan backfired when it was revealed that most ATOs scored even higher than he on the nerd scale; the definitive exposure came when he was discovered taking calculus as an elective. 


Nerds though they were, the ATOs knew how to party, and Todd could throw down with the best of them. Thanks to this prowess (and the ubiquitous Zap photographer), we have classic images like these:

When he wasn't supplied with a bubble-lettered sorority girl cup, Todd liked to drink his party libations from very large plastic cups, like the ones you could get free from Bulldog Deli. Over his four years at MSU, Todd's drink of choice evolved, based largely on previous ill effects&mdash;please don't ever offer him Evan Williams.

His sophomore year at State, Todd joined Jeff Armstrong and Chris Nesmith to form the Jonestown Survivors. The group soon recruited Del Rendon as lead singer and chick magnet. Unfortunately, all known photographic evidence of the Jonestown Survivors has been lost, stolen or burned. Some recordings have been preserved, and a sampling is here offered for your listening pleasure.

Todd's last two years at State were spent working with Music Makers to expose MSU students and other Starkvillians to the best music on the college circuit. During this time he also abandoned the mullet, his former haircut of choice, and completed his transformation into the true son of his father by making friends with the walkie talkie.
