‘IT WAS A MISTAKE’ SOBS MYSTIC JOE
“It was all a mistake,” sobbed Joe Preininger, when asked by the Yellow Dog’s star reporter why he had dropped from the presidential race. “No, wait,” he said, ‘ it warn’t no mistake. I was bribed.”
Preininger sobbed again. In fact, he sobbed again and again as he told the whole sordid^ly whispered.

The intellectual-looking football and rugby player almost passed out before the reporter’s eyes, but he exerted a tremendous will power and pulled himself together, with the aid of a long pull from a bottle of Old Cellar. “Well. I’ll tell you how it all happened,” he hoarse-

YES, FLOOD GAG WAS ‘ALL WET’
JOHNSTOWN, Pa., March 31-
Proof that the recent flood at
this town was a mere political ballyhoo stunt was disclosed to governmental officials here today.
According to the revelation, the flood was brought about to give added publicity to one Norm Johnstown, candidate for student body president at the University of Southern California.

What blond Venus running for a class presidency knocked Hollywood movie extras and the Stephens college gals cold with his cute haircut and "winning personality?”
the battle now nearing its height, the Yellow Dog editorial board deems it its duty to give a resume of the busily boiling Draper political plot. This is the second setback non-orgs have suffered. The first, which fell not long ago, came when Mason Rose, self-styled smoothie from Duke, attempted to pull a fastie on the leg council by trying to get a non-org organization charter passed. But Mason dropped out of school and the pla nlanguished.
Another blow is this: When the news of Draper’s new pledge leaks out, it is highly probable that many non-orgs, who are anxious to climb on the correct bandwagon, will also become Sig Ep pledges. All of this, needless to say, will be great for the Sig Eps, as they will soon be able to build a new house” with all the dough received from pledge fees.

“About six weeks ago a member of TNE, Ross Wattlett, to be exact, approached me. ‘The non-orga are going to organize this year,’ stud Wattlett, ‘and we need another non-org In the field so that we can win the election. Do you sef what there might be in it for you if you run too?’
“I bold him that I could ste his paint, and that I would be willing to do it, provided, oi course, he made it worthwhile enough. Ross told me al that time that he would come back and aee me later with an offer.
“Two days later I saw Ross again. You can well imagine wua all this had done to my pride, bit' I had heard him through the first time, so I was determined to e<-' through with the deal, if they’d pay big enough. Well, Ross said that TNE would pay me $100 it I would run.
“You, yoursef, can see that no one but a fool would have turned down an offer like that, alb I accepted his check and told him I'd run. Then I hustled around and got a lot of odd lot persons, likt* residents of Aeneas hall, the Ledge and a few other out-of-the-way places to support me. I was really going great guns.
“The day of the nomination assembly, Dick Nash fame around and offered me $200 If I would drop out. Naturally I couldn't turn down money like that, so I accepted his check too.”
Preininger sobbed again. In fact his body was wracked with sobs Your reporter inquired as to the cause of all the weeping. Honest Joe’ reply was, “Well, you see both checks came back day before yesterday marked N.S.F.”
SINCLAIR BABBLES
In emphasizing her political <fetand, Ruth Sinclair, candidate for secretary of the A. S. U. S. C., emphasized that she is a home %own girl and that she is seeking votes of home town girls only. She stressed the fact that she will ;cept only the votes of Alpha Gams and girls who know how to wash dishes.
• “I think every girl {ihould know how to wash her stockings and unmentionables,” Miss Sinclair iid, “for I can see no reason why any husband should be forced to do them for her. Furthermore,” said Miss Sinclair, “I’ll mop up j>n anybody who says I can’t dish it out, just to pun on a few household articles.”
Pointing out that there is nothing she enjoys more than a nice, ^friendly dog, two or three cats, a nice back yard, and a few good books. Ruthle exhibited her classic dimples, and promptly retired.
“I am a home type of girl,” said Ruth Sinclair, a secretarial candidate, when snapped in this homey pose under a bed with someone who is thought to be her husband. “You see,” said Ruth, “I have taught my husband the proper home life; he has a mop in his hand. You see?*'

Announcement of a series of Stray Greek movements will bo made to a jealous group of constricted fraternity men at 12:IS today in Aeneas hall. The plan, as drawn up, envisages a profound weekly movement, supplemented by occasional daily action. It is thought that much Stray Greek tension will be relieved by these measures.
Said Ben Franklin, president ot the interfraternity council, on hearing the plan, "Things are pretty tense In fraternity row also Maybe a few movements on 28th street would speed things alom; their way."
It is said that many Str.iy Greek are wearing strained looks in anticipation of the big thin** they are going to accomplish. “It a hard work," sighed Tom Back-
