Vowel-chanting down the hall with Rader and the 16s
texture · 11 Nov YDAU, ~2030h+
- When: 11 Nov YDAU, evening (the note opens at 2030h), the hall outside 308 Subdorm B, while Struck labors over his term paper.
- What: Twice while Struck decocts his plagiarized Wheelchair-Assassins paper, the hall outside carries the same procession: "Rader and Wagenknecht and some other 16's-sounding males go down the hall, all of them together going 'Er, ah, ee, oo, ah, er, ah, ee…,'" — a group vocal chant, pure hallway noise. The book's main age-cue for him, and an auditory one (see Dating notes).
