IN REVIEW In December came Butler University ' s annual opportunity to charm the audiences of our fair city, the Drift Beauty Contest. By way of clari- fication it may be said this is the campus struggle for superiority as to the possession of that com- bination of qualities which is most pleasing and satisfying to men, namely, comely campus c oeds. Of these we are abound. Starting with a field of fifty-two participants a board of three hypno- tized judges chose fifteen, after which Dick Powell was prevailed upon to pick the five most beautiful in his estimation. In the latter part of January the student body was persistently assailed with a barrage of final examinations. This was all in keeping with the custom of the faculty, whereas it enables them to eliminate the culls. One of the culls eluded them and insanely set forth the idea that more dances were in order. Thus, we were called upon to spend some more of the money which we already didn ' t have. However, this expense was offset by the opportunity of selecting a queen to reign at each of the dances. In contrast to this the Junior Prom precipitated an interest in the hair that grows on men ' s faces; beards. This resulted in a continual stroking of male chins for about a week, envious desires, rusty razors and one free ticket. Following this the university was sub- jected to a widespread epidemic of Spring Fever leading to mass deterioration. • 1 V Mimm CPU J .. ' '

M m i ei p c -— s fei THE YEAR Jl iv- i Shortly after our recovery from a deluge of nine weeks examinations, the Homecoming fes- tivities took place on Friday, December I. As this was Butler ' s first Homecoming in two years, everyone worked hard to make it the huge suc- cess that it was. Leading this all out effort was the re-organized Loyalty Legion who spon- sored the event. The day was begun with the traditional Freshman-Sophomore fight. Amidst below zero weather the freshmen were victorious in capturing the flag from the top of the greased pole. In the words of one freshman, It was a walk-away. These were in the words of ONE freshman who had an over supply of intestinal fortitude. That night a bonfire and pep session was held back of Jordan Hall to give the students a chance to relieve their excess vocal energy. The cheer- leaders worked themselves into a frenzy as every- one stood and gazed in sheer amazement . . . they were roasted to a crisp and no one could see since tears were running down their faces from the smoke. On Saturday the sororities and fraternities decorated their houses to compete in the judging at noon. That night we saw the Bulldogs trounce the Franklin Bears in the first cage classic of the year. After the game Don Pedlow ' s band provided music for the Home- coming dance. It was fun while it lasted and everyone went home feeling tired, delirious and happy about the whole thing.
