Twenty-four men managed to reach Lewis Hall's third floor last night before campus police chased them out of the residence hall. The raiders were part of a group which swept across campus emptying every women's hall of pants, bras, stockings and water balloons in a two-hour romp.
The activity started after a Templin hour dance flopped, around 9:30 p.m. Thrill-seeking Templin residents besieged Hashinger Hall but failed to get much response there.

By the time the activity had subsided, most of the men were waving newly captured pieces of

"I would hope that people could find more significant things to do with their time on a college campus," she said.
To qualify for any junior year abroad programs, four college semesters of foreign language and a B average is required. Students need two semesters of foreign language for summer institutes. The Denmark and Rome institutes, however, are liberal art studies with no language requirement.
"Six semester hours of credit are given for the summer institutes, or an academic year of credit for the junior year abroad programs," Sandra Traversa, assistant to the dean, said.
