reunion, re-onion in some spellings...

Sharon,
It was "The Ranger" humor magazine and they were sold on campus for a quarter, a nickel of which went to the monthly beer party. To actually sell them was one way to get invited to the Ranger party. This was during the time of Travis Rivers who served as business mgr. for the eventually too-controversial publication. 
I'm sure you remember the bru ha ha. They went through five editors in a very short span, each in turn getting fired for one editorial transgression or another, and I knew three of them. Billy Jim Strong, who is coming over from Montgomery County, was a staff writer for it.
Gilbert Shelton was an editor. Wayne Johnson is another, but he lives in VA and won't be here. Pat Brown was also an editor--she is also invited. If I run accross the actual party address, I'll send it, for mapquest.
Perhaps I should elaborate a bit about the Ghetto group. It is a loose association of persons who became acquainted through various UT campus groups in the early '60s: Daily Texan journalists, Student Union folk singers, bridge nuts, Rangeroos, spelunkers, SDSers, and Young Democrats, my particular cadre, who were all basically GDI's. The place we gravitated to, to drink and be merry, was an eight-unit frame apartment house, no longer extant, behind Dirty Martin's on Nueces, where it meets Guadalupe. The rents were $40 - $45 a month, and it was ramshackle even by the standards of the time. Almost like a counter-culture animal house, it was humorously nicknamed, The Ghetto. The most exuberant parties were those having the largest cache of Grand Prize and they often coincided with the Ranger coming out. Some Ranger parties might have been held there but Travis also had them at his house on Salado. Those were my favorites.
I'm cc-ing this version of Ghetto history to the list, too, to see if I got it about right.
