Delta Upsilon Kills H.C.L. With Cow
Old H. C. L., the orde of dread capitalism, was given a forceful jolt Saturday morning when the Delta Upsilon fraternity, thinking that prices were too high in the land of steaks and soup bones, slaughtered and butchered a heifer on the Martin farm, two miles southwest of the Hill.
The cow was purchased for $70 and weighed 900 pounds. She dressed out nearly 500 pounds. At an average price of 25 cents per pound, the beef cost $149 to feed a saving of $55, as well as insuring the supply of fresh and clean meat.
Parts of the beef were sold to other fraternities, and some of the Greek brotherhoods are on the trail of another cow. In the meantime the men who house will be enjoined the dismay of Kermes, Armenia, Calthy and Swift.
INSTALL MACHINES
Machines Damaged in Fire of 1918 Repaired
Several pieces of machinery were installed in Fowler Shops during the Christmas recess by Supt. O. T. Rocklund and his assistants. Two of the machines were in use in the shops before the fire in 1918, but were broken at that time, and have thus been out of use until the present time.
A six-inch Oliver jointer, which was broken and badly cracked in several places at the time of the fire, has been reclaimed and put into good working order, and the repair work was all done in the shops. In order to make the machine substantial, considerable welding and patina were according to Mr. Rocklund it is now in shape to stand much hard service.
An eighteen-inch heavy duty pattern lath was also damaged in the fire, but it too has been repaired and was placed in a permanent position during the holidays. The lath takes large work. It is seven feet between each wall, will do face shape works as much as seventy-two inches in diameter.
Another piece of machinery which has been on the floor since fall, but which was permanently installed during construction, is the hard-hand saw for doing small work.
