The Engineers and their gals got out their worst looking clothes and went stomping at the Annual Hard Luck Dance on March 15. Bartender Caroll Cason served Iim Lundy c1 coke which evidently didnlt please him, so mining-geologist Lundy proceeded to shoot up Pair-A-Dice Bar. After the smoke cleared away Roy Allen and Kathleen Bartley put in their gunny-sack appearance, but wonder why they looked so happy? Anyway, c: broad smile was in order for Bearded Man John Key who was presented with a Loving Cuspidor for having the best beard. Meanwhile Miner lack N eill and Poca- hantes Io Flores walked off with top honors for the best costumes. On Monday, March 17, the West Siders took off for Oro Grande when the time-honored ceremonies were once more observed with the knighting of the freshmen engineers. Wary initiates entered the tunnel barefooted and blindfolded, w hile upperclassmen Malcolm Farquear, Les Webel, and Jack Marczeski ad- ministered the proper amount of paddling. Ed Smith looked on While iiSt. Pat Torn Webb made the freshmen kiss the blarney stone as c: final step in the initiation.

January was the month of Snow Fiestas and Sun Carni- vals With the Miners, Gs usuall putting their fingers in both pies. Snowball fights, tobogganing, and skiing were highlights of the Snow Fiesta on January 31 When 300 Muckers took off to spend the day in Ruidoso. Lloyd Stevens and some eager beavers spent the morning building ct huge snowman With CLH the trimmings. However, he saw his mistake when the snowman, instead of giving Queen-Elect once Huntef the cold shoulder, promptly put his arm around her, Was Lloyd jealous! Ann Gumaer was pulled out of the river by benefactors Gene Anderson and Hink Moome. But don't think they're typ- ical knights in shining armour . . . seems that they threw her in first. The climax of the evening was a dance at the Navajo Lodge and coronation of Quen once. Several Mines co - eds repre- sented their home towns in the 1948 Sun Carnival Parade. N cm-, cy Wilcox, Deane McLure, and Frances Davidson looked pretty happy about the Whole affair.

rtwh , Swat? ,4: T. E. M. With the coming of Spring, T.C.M. had its share of celebrities and cele- brations. Governor Beauford Iester, who was in El Paso tor the Texas Cattlemen's Association Convention, took time out to visit the Mucker campus. Prospector reporter Ncmcy Wilcox showed her evident enjoyment at the pleasant in- terview. The same day Robert Ruark, noted Scripps-Howctrd columnist, paid Ct Visit to the Prospector office and talked with members of the Press Club on the jobs and headaches of a newspaper columnist. Editor Mary Hill was very much interested in Ruark's remarks, while Scott Thurber looked a little doubtful. This was an eventful spring for the Delta Gamma Colonyl for at their in- stallation they became the Gamma Gamma chapter of Delta Gamma NCI- tional Sorority. They are shown below at their instilation banquet, after which Mrs. Edith Tiel Smith, national presie dent, presented them with their Charter. And throughout all the activity on the campus our little mascot, E1 Burro, slept. It seems that he had CI bad case of spring fever, which not even the governor could cure.
