The Vigilantes Ride Again! Potter Claims Six Shavers
And they're still revolting.
An ominous rumbling was heard Monday night at 7:45 throughout Oread hall. The time had come. The zero hour was at hand. Clean shaven men were to face justice at the hands of a bearded vigilantes committee.
The rumble quickly grew to a roar. Shouts of, "Let's get 'em," and, "On to Potter," echoed through the building.
The vigilantes rode. Six men who had dared shave, Ray Dewell, Howard Childers, Richard McCanse, Dick Bibler, Howard Mercer and Frank Rozich were rounded up and harded to Potter lake.
All hell broke loose on the banks of peaceful Potter. When the mud cleared, the condemned found that they had dragged seven "revolters" into the slimy depths of the lake.
Rozich, 180 pound ex-marine was satisfied. "I never ran in the Marine Corps and I didn't run from the committee. I took six of them with me, so I can't complain."
Bibler was shaky. "Without my glasses I couldn't say how many ducked with me. There was to much fast action to tell just what happened."
A vigilante, Phil Ferguson, was in again and out again. "I must hold some kind of record. Five times I went over the side."
Though hair no longer adorns his face, Ray Dewell, wet but still loyal, pledged, "I am sorry that I have no whiskers to give for the cause."
Eleven clean shaven men were not in the hall. The vigilantes say that one went as far as Kansas City to escape the dunking. But will he escape?
Dripping Howard Childers, fresh from Potter, voiced his and the vigilantes' opinion. "Ive had mine. The rest will get theirs."

greatfuls are. Such difficulties in getting newebles may delay the system." Mr. Bayles added. Installation of the automatic switchboard is nearly complete, but shortage of cable has slowed the work.
The new system will make the work of the operators easier. Mr. Bayles said. The operators will handle only incoming calls from off the campus instead of all calls as they do now.
Many numbers on campus phones will be changed under the new system, making it impossible to put out a campus directory now, he added.

Miss Zipple said that she knew of no reason why the tile blocks could not be used for dancing since the purpose for this type flooring is "open-air dancing parties by University organizations."
