What a bloop to the Sig Eps! The Chi Omega digges pulled the real walkout last night, according to the latest muck arked up by us supers. The question now is, with whom did we walk out? Both the Beta's and Phi Pa's ambed away from their respective home premises unknown, at their time we go to press who had the doubtful privilege of squirring the gals around.
By the way, we promised our readers some news on the Chi O robbery. The A O Pis just reported that their house was robbed of $30 the night of their open house, so we have decided that both robberies were inside jobs and that the man in the room was acting. At least the A O Pis have put up the best bid for a dutch-date or two.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 29, 1936
It seems we of this column made a horrible error the other day. We ran a line or two on Red Blackhair's band playing over the National hookup but didn't mention that he was playing from a carousel. Sorry, Gorilla gets advertising run high.
Now that we mention said party it seems requisite that we give New Hovet-verstock, of the Delta Chi lodge, a little build-up by saying that Margaret Locke-chair him of all the boys there to dance with Morrill Irwin, of the Sigma Nu house. In she going up the ladder or down, or can you tell?
The climax of the party, however, came when two or three high school girls, attired in short dresses, crashed the party. Nothing was said to them until it became clear that they were stealing all the boys. They were immediately asked to leave.
--a beloved figure of hundreds of col lege students.
In a slight discussion on crap-shoot, the other day someone suggested that maybe the boys from Tulsa shot more crap than those from other lo. tapes; then the sweep valued that babies are given dice for teething rings.
Guess the Sig Alph's and the Chi O can eat about anything. The story goes that Bill Dairyple, of the Triangle-Pretzel club, told Bubey, bartender at the Union fontainade, that he would take it alone and that he would take something else. Bubey agreed
