Not since the ■ - n ,, i o heinous device as this been brought into use The crowd got a laugh, the hen got a free meol, and just what the victim got we couldn ' t say but he wasn ' t the some for some weeks. Though there was no trumpet to sound. Judgment day came all the same to freshmen or anyone else who violated Blue Key ordinances. When the official Kangaroo Court was called into session, errant freshmen knew their day of reck- oning had come. Blue Key members, robed in stately black, took their places in the jurj ' box to deal harshly with any offenders. Prosecuting attorney Jack Blaess showed no leniency, as he presented each out- rageous case. And since defense attor- ney Bud Phillips could do little to free his clients, he decided he might as well enjoy the proceedings. And proving that justice is always supreme, his honor and the jury convicted all the defendants. This rare shot shows the Blue Key jury in one of its most serious moments The jury was noted for its intellect- ualism, its foimess, ond its perennial lust for smelly cigars.

justice uptem In a democracy such as found at State, it is sometimes necessary to enforce cer- tain laws for the good of all concerned — like green beanies, and beards, for in- stance. And when there is a law, there are offenders — such as the victims of Blue Key ' s untiring search for the erring. The weed of crime bears bitter fruit, but it doesn ' t seem to bother this errant frosh. Notice she keeps Q tight grip on her meol ticket, so she evidently expects to get out before dinnertime. Whenever one of the ever watchful members of the crusade for justice would spot a student suspected of some heinous crime, be it a trace of make-up or suspicion of making with the razor, he would haul the villain into court. Judicial procedure consisted of bring- ing the defendant before the stand to face the jury, the most honest and un- biased young men on the campus, being members of Blue Key. The jury would hear the case and con- vene to practice so that they could shout guilty with just the right feeling. And then came the punishment. Several of the students met with the fate of the stocks or the jail, which made its first appearance on the campus this year. Other sentences meted out to the erring were of the fertilizer collection variety or getting only one-half of the face shaved.

The clothesline in the bockground was in keeping with the general sanity of the proceedings
