THINGS WE JUST COULD NOT LEAVE OUT P LECTION night was an exciting one. The Alpha Sigs had their windows - smashed by the bottles, jugs, etc., thrown from the direction of the Phi Delta Phi house. This was the third time this year that those windows were similarly broken. However, maybe the lawyers thought that would be better than letting their bottles pile up. When the police arrived at the Fiddledifee lodge they found Johanningmeier, Waite, Schiele, and Charley Farrington in bed with their clothes on, hats and all, peacefully asleep. The night before the election the Betas got quite a scare when threats were made over the telephone of the impending kidnap of candidate Zinn. The Woogs were up in arms and took out after the machine supposed to contain the kidnapers. About all the satisfaction they got was that which comes with shattering the windshield of a Delta Sig Car. (You ought to try it sometime.) After some time spent in futile pursuit they gave up and went after Thorny to demand an ex- planation from him. Speaking of the election, we regret, now that we have heard Bill Becker and Charley Farrington make their campaign speeches, that the Campus King election had to be held so early. But the Mud Section must stay out of politics. Otherwise Boss Schultz would come in for a little comment. Certainly we cannot forget Boss Collins and his sensational campaign for Sophie Glutz for Chambermaid, A Woman for a Woman ' s Place. But let us get away from politics. There is the Sigma Alpha Mu house. There is a bunch of boys that has helped us considerably this year. Perhaps you have heard about Two-gun Eastes and the merry chase Ted Cooper led him. Their argument, started on the lot behind the library, ended under the sofa in the Sammy living room. Dave Foxtow received quite a lot of fan mail during the year. Ben Freeman finished his college career in a blaze of glory. Need more be said about that.? Ask Ben about little Durwoody up in heaven. Before we go any farther, what about the Sigma Alpha Mu who paid his house bill with a wooden check. Through a considerable investigation it has been definitely established that Frank Novoson never got married and that the hurried trip the parents of the young lady in question to Columbia was useless. Three Alpha Chi Omegas were known to quench their sorrow at getting I ' s in advertising courses. About the time a local bootlegger ' s son was suffering from smallpox, one Theta was vaccinated for smallpox, and another thought seriously of being vacci- nated. Ruth Fite says there is a nursery in the basement of Jesse Hall. She saw a sign there saying, Infantry Storeroom. Gin Grove (rear of the SAE mansion) is still popular under the direction of Lee Burns, the night watchman. Page 362 HRfiSten ■ 3
