Sig Eps Spray Parched Lasses in Water Duel
T’was a hot, hot day on 28th street yesterday, so some bright little boys, Sig Eps, decided to play games—with buckets of water.
The screams and shouts of the water babies drew a crowd of tittering females, DGs and Thetas, and soon, the little boys decided to dunk thc darling damsels.
Then, bedlam really broke loose. Frenzied people dashed madly from faucet to faucet filling their buckets and then drenching each other. Victory cries filled the air as another potential sailor hit his mark. Clothes and hair dripped with good old H20 and the DGs and Thetas really let down their hair and showed the fellows that they could sling as mean a bucket as the best of them.
The outcome of the bout was questionable. Both sides looked quite the worse for wear. Said the gardener, smiling—“Hmm, at least I won’t have to water the lawn today.”

U.S. Loans Aid War Training

Repayments are to be made in four annual installments beginning one year after the completion of college work. The rate of interest is 21* per cent a year.
Sigma Nus to Rebuild in Six Weeks
Fraternity to Open ‘Charcoal Room’ Monday Evening
The Sigma Nu boys who are sleeping in the back yard of their charred house and other members of the fraternity who are bunking at various fraternities * along “the row” may be able to return in six weeks to a rebuilt Sigma Nu house.
Although no report has yet come from the insurance company on finances or from the arson squad as to the cause of the blaze Monday night, it was believed by Oliver Chatburn, advisor to the fraternity, that the house will be reconstructed within the next six weeks.
In spite of government priorities on lumber and other building materials it is believed that sufficient materials for the rebuilding of the house will be released because over half the Trojan men living at Sigma Nu are enlisted in the various reserve services.
In the meantime, fraternity row is preparing for the benefit dance in Sigma Nu’s “Charcoal room Monday evening at 8 p.m. Proceeds from the admission prices to the dance will be used to replace de stroyed furniture and personal property.
Meetings will be held ln the Greek houses early Monday evening. From these meetings Sigma Nu’s fellow Trojans will attend the dance "

“It is more important than ever that the chest be supported this year. Witli so much going on in the world, we are too apt to forget those who need our help at home,” stated Bud Townsend, community chest campaign manager.
Going into competition with the Tommy Trojan victory hut, it is planned that a community chest hut be erected in front of the Administration building, thus creating a central point for the collection of student contributions to the drive.
