Re:There was also the GSF (Score 1)

I agree that Beta and the GSF weren't rivals. At least, I never saw them that way. If fact, it was my impression that the GSF and Beta cooperated casually. I certainly contributed money when the GSF passed the helmet to finance the "nMt" trip, and the paint sprayer used to make the "CSM" banners was borrowed from a prominent GSF member. So the question is, did the GSF really think that the Colorado School of Mines hung the banners, or were they (at least some of them) in on it?
