Q- 4 ,lk ,A being nationally celebrated has reached the Drake campus-it's just that along with the sometimes unfortunate policy of hushing up unpleasant details of lite here, it has become the unwritten policy to de-emphasize and even hold from release vague plans until they can become realities. lt took a long time for the dormitory quadrangle, which really got rolling this year, to come into be- ing. Your last year editors felt they weren't roll- ing enough to elaborate on them in the 105-l f2L'AX. The new dorms, which so long were called Dorm l. Dorm 2 and Dorm 3, Klziin Dorm and the Student linion lthough we can hardly classify the last two :ls new for they were huilt years ago and the board of trustees either never found time or didn't feel it was the right time to name themj finally were named efirlv in 1055. The board sat down one afternoon and. from a compilation of names sub- niitted by a naming conimitte, chose the former Drake personnel to honor. lronically enough, they chose the name of Hlary Carpenter Residence for the one new dorm which houses all males. Dorin I, which has taken care of upper-class women and some freshmen sandwiched in. received the name of Robert .-X. Crawford residence, while the board thought it fitting to call the freshman womenvs dorm. Dorm 3, after the Luther Stalnaker all fre-hmen used to love. It wasn't too awfully long after the buildings had been named that the spring weather, conducive to extra expenditure of energy. hit Des Moines. And with the weather came the annual urgent call to panty-raiding.

At 10:45 the signal was flashed to the band of stalwarts who, despite warnings that they would be subject to severe disciplinary action decided that it was up to them if Drake was to play host to a real honest-to-goodness panty raid. YVe had it planned, sniirked one of the trans- gressors. YVe busted into meeting da gals was havin' in Stalnaked Dormitory an' really scared 'em right out'a their pantlielsf' lt seems that the coeds were mulling over the previous eve's male forage that was nipped before any of the pink filmies could be located. Adroite planning was the key to the success of the commando-like strike on the female living quar- ters. After our first try, explained one of the 4. ' E,-,ff

Klost of the night visitors came down from the newly named Kloorehouse dorm and George A. .lew- ett Student Llnion. Both Kloorehouse and .lewett were outstanding in service to the uni- versitv and community. Wle wonder if they could have staged the panty-raid as metic- ulously as those who live within the walls of their namesakes.
