Trojan Knights Dunk Initiates In Library Pool; Get Doused Themselves as Tables Turned
Safety in large numbers did not prevent 24 brand new Trojan Knights from dunking ceremonies last Friday in University library’s fountain. Twenty-three, to be exact Jay Perrin, 320-pound tackle, was ordered to remain out of the pool for fear the thing would overflow.
The water fray, which was witnessed by hundreds, nay, thousands, of infuriated Trojans, was preceded by a brief singing show and walking tour of the campus. The tour, which was to acquaint the blindfolded initiates with their university, was carricd on by “vicious” Knights of the same institution, several of which had been exposed to the same treatment at a previous initiation.
The dunking of the 23 gentlemen was only a semi-final, in boxing parlance. Not so many minutes later the pledge class, under the wringing vet but capable leadership of former Squire prexy Dick Henning, took chase after several too-obvious, sweater-bedecked, and fully-clothed onlookers who were enjoying the scuffle up to this point. Jack Gardetto was quickly disposed of, and at a late hour was reported still floundering around in the murky depths.
Speedy Jerry Hoytt, marked for a liquid grave long before the Day of Reckoning, proved a slippery customer but was finally hauled down while attempting to reaeh the sanctity of the Little Chapel.
Prominent Knight authorities reported that Joseph Holt, he of the klnkly hair, beat a hasty retreat. Someone spied him running a 10-second century near 55th and Slauson. Several initiates, identities withheld, were in pursuit.

Franco Regime Change Hinted
by Ed Prizer
War clouds rolled through Bovard auditorium Friday afternoon as atomic explosions in technicolor swirled across the cinema screen and Caltech scientists Dr. Richard Noyes and Dr. Robert Emerson made dire predictions of world catastrophe if measures are not taken immediately to provide international control of atomic energy.
Films of the Nagasaki debacle, taken by a B-29 tail gunner, and the Los Alamos experiments were shown at the meeting called to create interest in the founding of an SC chapter of the American Federation of Scientists, “an association undertaking to present to the nation facts of atomic energy and its social and political implications.”
