   Greetings from Brooklyn College!
   Brooklyn is a borough of New York City that's connected to Manhattan by the Brooklyn Bridge.  It's the last stop on the #2 and #5 trains...Brooklyn has a college...I'm looking for a "hero."
   KEN was the student newspaper of the evening division.  I went through 1947-1954, but didn't see ANY pizza or hero ads.  I've got the KINGSMAN student newspapers, the yearbooks, and the BELFRY humor magazine to go, yadda yadda yadda.
