4 i ' ' - ' ' HE CHEERS for BUTLER Together with the regular university athletic program, intramurals again took top billing on the Fairview campus this year. All of the fraternities and other organizations boasted teams well-stocked with veterans and competition was slightly terrific. Coeds and eds came out in droves to provide enthusiastic cheer- ing sections.

For the men there are pats on the back, buddy chats and a modest showing of the trophy case. To let the rushee in on the swing of things, the paddle is also on exhibit. The time-honored fraternity serenade is always a selling point for perspective pledges. For the first time in several years fraternities were forced to stop rushing before the rushees ran out because of the large number of men on campus.

. . . and EATS HOT DOGS Intensive training plus keen competition makes ath- letics an important phase of university life. Butler is fortunate in having the largest fieldhouse in the state of Indiana and a fine bowl in which to hold football games. Sleepy Joe, like all loyal fans, is always on hand when the Bulldogs are battlin ' . He cheers . . . sometimes he jeers . . . but he can take it on the chin and still be a good sport. During nerve-racking minutes of the games. Sleepy Joe builds up intestinal fortitude with a hot dog. On leaving a game he relives his favorite plays of the evening and tells friends what he would have done had he been on the floor. There is also a loud and long voicing of his opinion of the officials. As a perpetual clock watcher, Sleepy Joe is always on time for lunch. Usually he is informed from within that it is time to eat long before the hands of the timepiece are straight up. In the cafeteria, as on a few other oc- casions in his college career. Sleepy Joe must wait via a line before he can eat.
