Over at his apartment, Doug and Lori are mulling over what classes she should take at school, none of which she really needs to graduate and go to Northwestern. Show off. Doug’s friend Liz knocks on the door and comes in to tell them about an earthquake in Guatemala. Evidently, Doug’s grad school roomie, Dave, is there with the Peace Corps. 20,000 are dead and no one’s heard from Dave yet. Hmmm, odd that this would just be hitting the news, since it happened on February 4, 1976, but no matter. At least it’s a real event, I guess.
