As sure as time passed, things were sure to happen. And they did. One night during the Halloween season six fraternities, observing their usual custom of leaving their doors open, were rudely awakened the next morning to the fact that someone had been playing expensive pranks. Everyone ' s first thought w as that his fraternity brothers were carrying this Halloween spirit too far, but when a final inventory of wallets was taken 500 of those green things were missing. It was a clever execution of the art of high-speed robbery with the looters making one grand sweep that started with a combing of all campus houses, then a short trip crosstown to Pi Lambda Phi and Sigma Chi, and finally a brisk ' frisk ' of Theta Chi up on Delaware Avenue. This series of robberies did almost precipitate a financial crisis, for it struck nine days before the first big social week-end of the semester. Fear for an eco- nomic collapse of the affair was not taken lightly, but after much deliberation the plans were carried out as scheduled. These plans called for a gala prom to be preceded by the customary Saturday afternoon football game. Both events were well attended, and in spite of losing the ball game, everything worked out to perfection. Almost before the close of the social activities of the week-end Lehigh students were faced with one of their most important political issues of the year. A pre- election poll to determine Lehigh ' s choice for President of the United States was the climax to a hot campaign which rocked the campus for several wrecks. In- dicative of things not to come, Dewey ran roughshod over FDR. An almost unanimous petition for a three-day Thanksgiving holiday was made to the administration with the result that the students ate their turkey in Lam- berton hall. There was consolation in the fact that for the first time in two years, a pre- Lafayette game rally was held. A pajama parade (confined to campus), fresh- man skits, and pep rally all added to the pre-game color, and Lehigh spirits ran high. Something new was added to the social calendar when an informal dance w as held in honor of the football and soccer teams. Letters were presented at the affair and each member of the teams was introduced to the student body. The gay atmosphere of the occasion was augmented by the fine music of the Lehigh Collegians. Arcadia gave school spirit a shot in the arm by staging an all-University ban- quet at the Hotel Bethlehem. It turned out to be just what the name implied— everybody was there. A Danish mind-reader entertained with some neat little tricks like telling the third letter of your mother ' s maiden name, or your girl friend ' s telephone nimiber before she moved. The new year crept in quietly despite the fact that there were no classes New Year ' s Day. ' Win the war in ' 44 became a thing of the past but there was an- 15
