BBEAT IISASTER It was the year 2000. The last atomic bomb had been dropped upon America, and in the abysmal chasm left by the fledgling destructor, one lone desolate spot remained. Seated upon a tottering bench where once proudly stood . the Marquette Engine House . . . STILL Mar- quette's newest building . . . were the last remnants of humanity. iiSpeed Edwards, world's slide-rule champ, and John Atom Bradish had planned well the destruction of the Earth. Within their evil hearts had alWays loomed the tear that Liberal Arts and Business Ad- ministration students such as Bowling, Berg- rnann, McGrath and Houkom would attain the hop pinnacle in the un-ending struggle for world supremacy. So . . . on a day in 1999, with the aid of Sandberg, Crim, Cassidy and Della Flora, the most devilish plan ever de- vised became reality. As had been expected, the June 1946 Mar- quette Ensigns quickly monopolized the great industries and institutions tincluding sanitari- urnsl of the world. In 1999 Starbody and Rogers were running on the Militarist Party ticket for President and Vice-President. Their business managers were iiNo Strain Fricker, HBougainville Versackas and iiSun-in-my- Eyes Dermody. Another party had been formed . . . the Card Party . . . led by Iennings, Geib, Barrington, Metcalf and Vanderswag. Their business manager was their HAce , Deuce M-cDerrnand. Even science tell before the unfailing scythe of the men of LA and BA. Allphin and Leitner had developed 14 new elements although still looking for the first 92. 156l And in finance, Hsupply strikers like Pooler, Goldstein and Daniels had surpassed I. P. Morgan in handling the world's currency . . . from behind bars at Portsmouth. So, with all these accomplishments of non- engineering students, is it any wonder that the secret meetings were held by the iiGreat Conspirators ? Finally, the Chicago Tribune's editor, lack Siegel, announced the news that within 24 hours the world was to be destroyed! Pande- monium broke loose! Eggert got out of bed to take pictures . . . Huddle and Snure released the services of their powerful broadcasting companies to the voices of Simonet, Pehrsson and Madden who proclaimed Destruction around the corner! The ultimatum had declared that unless cer- tain papers were turned over to the Engineers, the world would be destroyed. True to their words, at the appointed hour the great debacle occurred. What the En- gineers had not known was that at that very moment . . . the priceless papers had been speeding to them, relinquished by LA's and BA's. Somewhere in the still unsettled, whirl- ing air, the pages of a large volume fluttered aimlessly. Here had been the key to success that the Engineers had been willing to destroy the world to attain . . . the thing that had been stolen from them in 1946. Upon the still legible title page . . . the following words were plainly visible . . . THE GOUGE . . . Marquette Engineering School. . . 1946 .

Each one of us looks forward to it with delight; we revel joyfully in its every moment. In sum and substance, it boils down to this fact -e WE LIKE LIBERTY! Naturally, something so important as liberty should not, if we wish to obtain the complete benefits of it, be gone upon without proper forethought and preparation. Why should precious liberty time be wasted in getting ready and in deciding what to do, when it can be done earlier in the week? Some of the preparations for liberty must begin about Monday. Many of us are seen every Monday or Tuesday taking a liberty uniform to the cleaners. Of course, Pietila is always going to the cleaners. Sometimes it might become necessary to raise funds. This problem seems to be en- countered immediately after pay day. It is not considered a good idea to permit this detail to slide until the latter part of the week as someone else might decide to spend the cherished nugget. Of course you will never find yourself in a position where you must make a conscientious effort to think of something to do while on liberty. Dreams of what we intend to do or where we want to go just seem to steal upon us with no strain at all. It you have progressed this far, all you need do now is wait for Saturday morning. About 1100 you start cleaning up, retrieve a pair of well-shined shoes from under the Hsack , brush off the liberty uniform and await inspection. Inspection, in itself, is relatively simple. It is an easy matter to stand at attention for a brief 15 minutes while an officer casually looks you over to see if the uniform is clean and neat. You might even become angered as layer after layer of Milwaukee's clear atmos- phere settles down upon you, but still it is doubtful if this ever kept anyone in on a week- end. Now, with the ordeal completed, one secures . . . . - . - I l. y I 1 v . bed. ,- wUm... .. .l-o-y .Jv '4. 1 i l 5 .5
