SPORT nouEo Under the guise of officiality, the Cowboys took their Texas spirits to the Austin Club for a dinner one night this past February. I ' nder the paternal eye of Claude (Harryniore) Voyles the big sombrero and chap men scuttled tablcward, following the traditional alcoholic interlude. Having become bored with stutTing their inners. Shorty (Sigma Chi) Ucagan gave the high sign and the dance was on. It just hap- pened that live horn tooting black boys from the Kast side were present to strike up the St. l.ouis lilues in iiiiswcr (o the Colonel ' s command. Let it never be said that this little dan- sante was prearranged by the sons of the wide open spaces; especially is this true when one considers the Uni- versity rules in regard to such. About ten o ' clock, Icky (I ' i.K.A.) Crider kicked over a good ole jug of G — ; Hubba (Mushmouth) llchmann got on his hands and knees and the dance was on. .lini (Pinky) Mcl.ain and .loe (S..A.K.) . rnold were the ginger ale czars of the party — (They couldn ' t take it straight!) Hilly (l hi l si ) Stipling kept the old spirit rolling by staging a floor show atop one of the Club ' s very best tables. ATO ' S Arthur Uuggan and Kraft (Big Britches) Kid- man tried in vain to act like gentle- men, an imi)ossible task for them. It is reported that the whole Sigma Xu contingent spent the night in the bridge room. Is it any wonder that the boys arc i)opular at the foot- ball games ' ? SMNKKUS During the past football season the Slinkcrs Club, an unholy alliance, was oi ' ganized for the avowed purpose of holding weekly get-to-gethers after the legitimate hours of such proceedings had was i ermitted. Charter members of the club were such notables as ltob;. ' rta Van Devanter, Martha Kdmonds, ■loe McAtec, Joe Arnold, Hob Snakard, Christine Liehte, Lucy Fields, and (ieorge .lackson. TOUGH Sporting a chin marred by three days growth of beard and four stitches, Brother Hill (Capacity) Hamilton came fi ' om Christmas holidays spent in Dal- las, awed the gentle souls of the I ' hi Dclts with talcs of manly brawling at the Dallas Country Club. Cruel truth and the wagging tongues of eye- witnesses revealed to the admiring mob that the chin came as a result of Nel- son (Don Juan) Waggener ' s ducking a shade too fast in a fight while Brother Hill, just behind him in the role of chief critic, received the full force of the blow. ENIGMA All Texas is agog over the startling acrobatic feats of Dorothy Bivin, the campus ' une(|ualled fence straddler, whose attempts to be both Kajipa and I ' i I ' hi at once are further complicated by her striving to make Phi Delta Theta and Sigma Alpha Kpsilon at the same time. Campus wiseacres, too, are confounded by the fact that the incomparable Bivin was pledged to Pi Phi despite their years of steady resis- tance to her well-planned attack. Some say that the pledging came about in an attempt to shanghai Helen L ' lmer and Izabel Manton into the airow-bearers ' fold. .Another rumor, probably more correct, has it that she was taken in desperation to |)revent the innermost secrets of Pi Beta Phi from reaching Ihe hostile Ka|)pa cami) via the grape- vine I ' oute. Hut, after all, sighs the entire campus, she is probably less dangerous in the chapter than out. Page } J 5

CRIME INITIATIVE One day this last October, the in- ventive genius of A D Pi came into its own in the form of a rush picnic for the blanket minded daughters of the first year class. With a supposedly convincing list of young males and the rushees, the wagon train pulled out for the hill country. Significantly glaring was the absence of the custom- ary permit and watchdog. RUMOR All Slime reporters are not com- pletely efficient. For one assigned to cover the machinations of Pi Beta Phi brought back the following incomplete stories from that field of research. We are passing them on to our readers in the hope that some may be more fully explained for our next issue: Can anyone give us the name of the Pi Phi, who, making for their well- traveled alley to meet a late date, got into a car with the wrong party? Can anyone explain why Pi Beta Phi ' s red- haired flash from Sophie Xewcombe was not kindly received? Who were the three Pi Phis that rushed for their S.A.E. sisters the last date of fraternity rush week? Were they Edmonds, Fields and Yeager? Were they the same three who became a little overly-hilarious one fall evening, sneaked out of the house and serenaded the same group of sisters? Where was the subsequent picnic held? HOOTCHIE-KOOTCHIE Picnickers often show amazing versatility. For once this past season, when rain spoiled Phi Gamma Delta ' s well-planned Bull Creek sojourn, the brethren retired to the Chapter House, with their feminine guests, where all participants enjoyed a most novel bit of unscheduled entertainment. CRIME OF THE YEAR Typical was the merciless hot-box that Pi Beta Phi applied to Meta Young until she promised to pledge, only to be told the next afternoon that she had failed to pass the chapter. Such an unladylike display of poor taste and poorer ethics can only be applied to the presence of such as Martha Ed- monds, Adcle Barbish, Judith Sternen- berg and Mary Rice, who, surely, must have forgotten that leniency must have been practiced in the choosing of mem- bers in times past. Meta Young, dis- tracted, pledged Zeta Tau Alpha which clearly indicates a torn-up mind and a tendency to do something desperate about the situation. Pi Phi gets a thumb down for this. PSEUDO BLUNDERBUSS Scandal is a stately lady, Whispers when she talks; Waves of innuendo, Ripples as she walks. Such was the introduction to the Reformed Political Blunderbuss which appeared on the campus Monday before election daj ' . What followed was the most glaring case of decep- tion ever perpetrated upon the student body of the University of Texas. Copies were quickly gobbled up by the gullible crowds, who would, perhaps, have been more wary had they chanced to see upon the second page the name of one John Patric, otherwise known as Simon Legree, would-be political boss, emblazoned beneath the title of editor. Search as they would, the crowds could find no scandal; found only that they had been the means of fattening the purse of Patric. (Continued on Page 357) Page m
