Alarms pulled in two dorms
A fire alarm was pulled Tuesday night in Ellsworth Hall, but was later found to be a false alarm.
After all the rooms in Ellsworth were checked the students were allowed to return to the hall. As the students were leaving McCollum another fire alarm was heard.
Students were evacuated from the building and crowded into McCollum Hall's cafeteria. There many students, some hurriedly dressed and a few in curlers, joked about the alarm being pulled. Several students said they knew someone would pull the alarm and the only question was when.
Several students laughed and called the situation "musical dorms," but McCollum did not evacuate and the alarm was turned off.
Spring Week 'Fun in the Sun' symbol can be stenciled on at the booth.
From noon to 4 p.m. Saturday games will be played, including a balloon toss, downhill iceblock races and a tug-of-war across Potter Lake, Bradley said. Other games include catching greased pigs, a pie eating contest and an undressing contest.
Bradley said the undressing contest would be by couples who would undress each other under sheets. He said that the contestants must wear swim suits under their clothes.
A gymkhana will be held Saturday beginning at 8 a.m. in Lewis Hall parking lot.
Concluding Spring Week activities will be a dance at 8 p.m. Saturday at Oliver Hall. Bradley said that the Spring Week committee is asking students to bring the blue slips from books purchased at the Kansas Union bookstore to help provide scholarships for worthy students at the University of Kansas.
