TOMORROW NIGHT, THE SPRING FLING & THE FABULOUS FLIPPERS WILL COMBINE TO MAKE YOUR HEART SKIP A BEAT AND YOUR SOUL MILD AND MEEK!!
And if you don't believe it, consider what exactly is going to take place Friday night at 8:00 p.m. at the Lawrence National Guard Armory. First, those Fabulous Flippers, the band acclaimed by all as the greatest in the land, will be providing the entertainment until midnight. At exactly 10:00 p.m. a 1969 SPRING FLING QUEEN will be crowned before your very eyes. And, as an extra added attraction, there will be an unlimited supply of F-R-E-E thirst quenching beverages for your drinking pleasure. Balls-a-Fire, what outstanding ingredients to a party picked as a definite threat to the world record of consuming 51 kegs of brew!
Although this next item shouldn't be printed in a family newspaper such as the UDK, it is felt that readers should be aware of some unsportsmanlike conduct being planned for THE SPRING FLING by bad Bob Hines (Pres. of the Soph. Class) and some of his political cronies. It seems that they are gravely concerned that the world brew consumption record, which was achieved at the Fr.-Soph. Class Party April 11th, is in great danger tomorrow night. And since Hines wants to sink into the mainstream of college life with a reputation as being a key performer in that smashing drinking effort, he will be going out of his way to sabotage THE SPRING FLING, hoping his efforts will stop any attempts on the recent world mark. Undercover agents report that Hines and his date (if he can remember to pick her up this time) will disguise themselves as decent, law abiding students. But their evil mission will be to disrupt the party by holding up ticket and brew lines, breaking keg tapers and other destructible deeds.
So we can only warn SPRING FLING participants to be on guard for a young man 5'8" in height, blue eyes, blond hair, a tummy protruding over his baggy pants, beedy eyes and a constant frown on his face. IF YOU SPOT ANY CHARACTERS WHO FIT THIS GENERAL DESCRIPTION, REPORT HIM IMMEDIATELY TO THE NEAREST SPRING FLING OFFICIAL.
Tickets for this affair are $1.50 from Hall Coordinators while $2.00 at the door buys you a stub into the activities inside. And don't dare forget that this is the last large scale rally of the year at the National Guard Armory with all the free brew you can consume for low, low, extra low prices, while being entertained by the best bands in the midwest.
PLEASE, COUPLES ONLY!!
