XXX M LEGAL AID ASSOCIATIO because it is the only organization which, by hook or crook, manages to offer up real live people to be sacrificed on the alter of legal education. The better to carry out this scheme, the Association deployed it's forces, sending its operatives into every legal field. One large contingent spent the year romping around in their newly redecorated Municipal Legal Aid Bureau. Some of the older hands were so - 6 taken aback by all the new glitter and glamour - and by the fact that the age of Cooneyism had really passed - that they wandered about aimlessly and were mistaken for clients by JN n 1 L f' f The popularity of the Association's activities continued apace this year - largely L lf 1, iw N N .K Q some of the bright-eyed newcomers.

'Q v ld, A second group, operating under the euphonious alias of Public Defenders, divided their time between clandestine meetings to foster a crime wave in New Haven and mutual hate sessions when these plans went awry and they had no criminals to Cmisj advise. A specially trained cadre took over the difficult task of properly confusing persons from surrounding areas who had the affrontery to pester the Association with requests for memos. Brandeis briefs were promptly whipped up for all requests, the highlight of the season being a monumental memo on artificial insemination.

PHI ALPHA DELT It has been said year-in and year-out that the only activity of the Paddys is beer drinking, This is a canard of the basest order - there is indisputable evidence that in addition, they munch pretzels while consuming said beer. Admittedly, the range of endeavor, beyond these strenuous activities, is somewhat limited, but they did manage to send a delegate to their national convention this year, just to prove to those worthies that they had not seccumbed to barbarian in- fluences. This emissary returned with the startling news that PAD was celebrating its golden anniversary year, and in a fitting nocturnal seance, call to celebrate, this momentous occasion, it was decided that it was time for the local chapter to really do something. Prostrated by this near brush with constructive activity, the members left it at that and returned to their beer and pretzels. Phi Alpha Delta Ofhcers: Front 'faux' j. Endi- cott, R. Joyce.

The local brotherhood meets at Mory's to reify things - such as the inroads made into the knotty pretzel business by the vertical integration of the powerful straight pretzel cartel. The discus- sions are occasionally accompanied by liquid refreshment and it is rumored that individual standing in the chapter is measured more by capacity than by his contribution to the discussions. These tireless topers have hundreds of secrets, but unfor- tunately or for that matter, fortunately, no one seems to be able to recall any of them, The sole tradition of the chapter is a rather moth-eaten, but highly revered old, stuffed owl, which was contributed in lieu of dues by a member of the class of '96 for was it '06?J. 65 fr Phi Delta Phi's Officers: D. Allen, D. Klinges, T. Caudle and J. Hicks.

7 'av 9? ll' T Y ,,, THE OVERSEXTETTE Institutionalization of the shower-room singing, which reverberates thru the inner court-yard so often in the fall and spring took place in the spring of 1948 with the emergence of the Law School Oversextette, composed of about twelve men singing about four parts - simultaneously. The group now takes its place among other famous Yale singing organizations, consenting to render a few songs during the course of Student Association dances - but only after much strenuous urging on the part of dance committees. Since its humble origin, growing from a mere quartet formed over a few brews at George and Harry's, the group has made its fame known to as diverse institutions as Vassar and Smith and other whistle stops on the girls' college prom circuit. The Oversextette under the guidance of Concertmaster Bjorge still carries on the finest traditions of the barbershop quartet, only slightly sullied by the demands of the public.
