In general) aren't either." In con-
junction with this theory (i. e.
fa«t) the SL's have arranged a
"game" for their annual County
Fair, March 22. For a dime you
tan throw anything at a picture
of your prof . . .

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
Who's covering what up?
Ned
from the
"Somedav
Oliver, freshman, exhibits last week's capture
steam tunnels, who according to Hondo may
grow up to be a hall committeeman."
New Resident At Sooth
, n.,1.
!$;
By Harriet Hokanson and
Cliff Carl
South Hall has a pew resident
according to several Freshmen.
At the request of Ned Olivier,
Dal J. Frandsen, Breck Breckin-
ridge, and Jay Mcllvain the foot
and a half aligator, found last
week by this group, has changed"
his address from the steam tun-
nels to a shower stall on the
third floor of South Hall.
The pet used to be the prop-
erty of the endocrinology lab in
^the basement of the Physics
Bldg., which has an entrance to
the steam tunnel. Dr. R. V. Tal-
mage and Dale Buchanan notic-
ed the alligator's disappearance
about three and a half months
ago.
Instead of finding the soph
president, Ca^ddes, in the steam
tunnel the boys found this sev-
en year old reptile. They stepped
over a pipe in the tunnel, heard
a rustling noise. The startled
freshmen could not find anyone
who believed them when they
said that ehy had found an alli-
gator, go they caught the startl-
ed alligator and took him to
South Hall.
Raw Diet
Raw meat is the main diet of
this animal; but Sunday, the
boys decided that this wasn't
enough. The aligator now is a
member of Alcoholics Anony-
mous.
The biology lab will eventual-
ly recapture its pet, but in the
meantime, South Hall will have
to protect this unusual find.
