, ‘ i By Vince. Marsolais The biggest display of horsepower during Junior Week-Open House was put on by a plug named “Joy Alpha Sigma Phi decided that a horse was an essential prop in their Junior Week fraternity pageant show. One horsepower was rented from a local coal and ice dealer and was persuaded to climb the stairs in NU, where he performed well enough to win sec- ond prize for the Alpha Sigs. 0n the way out, the thus—far well~behaved star performer re~ alizcd his position of prestige and became temperamental. As he was about to exit via the circular stairs by the ITSA office, our hero, frightened by the steepness of the descent, refused to move further. The matter was called to the attention of Clarence E. Deahins, dean of students. After obscrv‘ ing the beast he suggested the use of force. Gilbert A. Force, businese manager of HT, took one look and called W. J. Par; duhn, superintendent of build- ings and grounds, who secured several of his stall" to work over- time for the purpose of building a ramp. Several times it was thought that the ramp was wide enough but each time the horse balked and additions had to be made. The Anti~cruelty society was called in but they were powerless to do anything until the ramp was completed. The horse would not leave until a solid footing was pro- vided for him. Finally at 7:20 p.m., four hours and 20 minutes after his entrance, Joy Boy learned that he was no longer welcome and allowed 28 men on the end of a block and tackle to pull him down the stairs back- wards. At the last turn, amid blinding flash bulbs and cheering spectators, the recalcitrant equine turned around and strutted out the door head first. In this process the hand rail was broken, but no one was injured. filth htfilhddfidfi “The Flying Disc is not aerody— namically justified,” John Retal— liata, dean of engineering, stated last Sunday as one of the experts on the WiND Forum of the Air. “I don’t believe,” he went on to say, “that these things could actually fly at the high speeds reported.” The other two experts, Curtis MacDougall, professor of journal- ism at Northwestern, and Arthur Snider, science editor of the Daily News, shared Retailiata’s Views that most reports of flying discs are figments of someone’s imagina- tion, Retalliata suggested that the “discs” might be the rays of air» plane beacons reflected from clouds, plastic weather balloons, or possibly “some kind of celestial phenomena, like meteors.” “JGV I'SOY" famed actor in JW “fr-atom”: teria previewm-W.

As of last Tuesday, peti- tions had been received by the election com- mission for all openings except treasurer and secretary of the freshman class. The deadline for turning in petitions to the dean of students’ office has been extended to tomorrow, since it was felt that not enough time was allowed because of the Junior Week interruption. The majority of the petitions, though, had been returned to the election com— mission within one hour after they were is- sued. Offices to be filled are those of president, vice~president, treasurer, secretary, and senior member—at-large of ITSA; and president, vice" president, treasurer, secretary, and social chairman of the second, third, fifth, and sev» enth semester classes.

Votes for the freshman officers” can be cast only by those who are now in their first semester; soph— omore class ballots are cast by those in their second semester; junior and senior class balm lots will be cast by fourth and sixth semester students, respectively. Rules governing campaigning remain un~ changed from last semester. These are the main points; any type of campaigning is per— mitted except that which inju‘res school prop— erty. No posters may be put up in the three new classroom buildings, and no scotch tape may be used on any painted surface. Outside banners should be approved by Dean Deakins and the buildings and grounds office. As in the past, the voting will be by the preferential system, with the balloting accomplished in the east dining room upon presentation of the stu-- dent identification card.
