One I.U, tradition that seems to hang on year after year, in spite of Purdue Universityis attempts to laugh it into oblivion, is the so-called I.U.- Purdue rivalry. A rivalry of some kind between I.U. and Purdue was, in its initial stages at least, kind of inevitable. After all, the two schools have always had a lot in common. Both are situated in and supported by the state of Indiana, both are in the Big Ten, and both share the Monon. But there thc comparison ends. In the two things that really count on any college campus-curricu- luin and football-I.U. and Purdue stand worlds apart. It is in the latter category that Moo U. has been trying for so long fand doing it so welll to squash any notions of a real i'rivalry with I.U. Last Nor, 19 there were probably more I.U. stu- dents watching the Michigan State-Notre Dame game than those listening to Ernie Nims' account of the ill-fated battle in Ross-Aide Stadium. And who could blame them? But in spite of 51-6 scores, the I.U.-Purdue tradition seems to be ingrained in campus life. Purdue students still paint POTF H fit has various interpretationsl on I.U. trees and sidewalks. And every November since 1925, there have been rumors of a bucket or something going to the winner of the I.U.-Purdue football game. Actually the Old Oaken Bucket is a traditiong it traditionally stays in West Lafayette. A symbol of the I.U.-Purdue squabble that I.U. students do get to see is the body of Iawn Purdue lying in state in the Commons lobby every Novem' ber. jawn met his death in the usual fiery fashion last fall, but one traditional aspect of this annual observance took on a new face for the first time in 36 years. Instead of the usual ROTC honor guard, a group known as the Red Barons main- tained a stalwart vigil over Iawrfs body and es- corted it to the pep rally for his annual cremation. The bloody Red Baron himself lighted the fire- then was chauffered away in his TR-3 sports car. Hgqr llislSl x' 'alll' ' ALL SEATS RESERVE 450, 4. aso, izsauiso Un 516 l at llkl tb l'l ,wgnsl
