Out in the Faro fields near Frenchman s Flats at the Flamingo, ex-Wampus editor Allen A. Arthur filed this dispatch:
“Wampus magazine will oover the latsst atom bomb tests, it t was announced from Las Vegas today.” Arthur denied the tests were a Wampus promotion, but he promised it would scoop all other humor magazines in the country. He failed to explain the humor in the situation but his communique intimated the tests would be screamingly hilarious and that the spectators would get a large charge from the blast.
Arthur complained about the difficulties he met because of the communications strike.* Each time I dropped a nickel to get the
operator.” he moaned,” a handfull of change came out. I quit when I was $32 ahead.”
Wampus Associate Editor Allyn Hunt said an announcement would probably be made the latter part of the week about future issues of the magazine. Staff conferences were held before Arthur left for Las Vegas, and Hunt said much material, including engravings, had been held over from the March issue. He reported much fresh material had been compiled since the last issue.
Editor Arthur left for a position as publicist for the Flamingo hotel at Las Vegas last week. He remained on campus after his graduation to see the rebirth of the Wampus.
Taft, Ike to Battle In Big' Primaries
WASHINGTON. Apr. 20— ^UP)— Backers of Sen. Robebrt A. Taft and Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower will battle it out from New York to the Rocky Mountains this week for 200 delegates to the Republican presidential nominating convention.
Eisenhower's supporters expressed confidence they should pick up a majority of the delegates and help close the Ohio Senator's current lead. A United Press tabulation now shows 208 delegates for Taft and 116 for the general.
The biv prizes are the 156 delegates to be selected in primaries in New York and Pennsylvania on Tuesday.
In addition. New York Republicans will select 10 delegates-at-lar-ge later. Pennsylvania already has. selected 10 delegates-at-large.
While neither slate of delegates may be pledged under prevailing
law, Gov. Thomas E. Dewey already has claimed all of the Empire State's delegates for Eisenhower. But Taft figures he has a good chance to wrest 10 to 20 of them away from the general.
Taft's outlook is considerably brighter in Pennsylvania, whose delegation may go to Chicago next July split three ways between the Senator, Eisenhower and Gen. Douglas MacArthur.
Other states choosing GOP delegates this week include: Louisiana, 4; Arkansas, 9: Colorado. 18; Utah, 14; Georgia, 12; and Arizona, 14.
Meantime, Taft headquarters said a memorial asking Eisenhower to spell out his views on 21 controversial issues—ranging from the Taft-Hartley law to administration policy m Korea—is beinv circulated throughout the nation.
Paratroops to Jump In Atomic Bomb Test
YUCCA FLAT, Nev., Apr. 20— (UP)—Airborne troops will parachute to join ground forces in an assault on “enemy” positions only a “short time" after the most violent atomic bomb ever exploded inside the United States blasts the ‘enemy” strongpoint next Tuesday, the Army announced today.
It will be the first time in history- that paratroopers have dropped from the .skies into a blast area. And for both the paratroopers and the ground forces it will be the closest approach any military force lias ever made to the radiologically “hot" point at "ground zero" under the explosion point.
The time gap between Tuesday's unclear air-burst and the parachute drop was not announced, but it was
learned unofficially that the paratroopers will "hit the silk” approximately one hour after the A-bomb is dropped from a B-29 and exploded 2000 to 3000 feet above this Nevada nuclear proving ground.
Brig. Gen. Harry P. Storke. executive director of the operation, announced to the visitors assembled on News Knob, a 75-foot hill looking into the blast area, that 120 troops of Company F of the 504th (CQ) regiment, 82nd Airborne division, will make the parachute jump.
Exactly how close to “ground zero" the paratroopers will land was not given but an Army spokesman emphasized it would not be at the “ground zero” point, where the heaviest radiation is believed to collect.

Frosh Win Brawl In Friday Mudslide
Students who expect to complete requirements for the bachelor’s degree in June should check the list that is posted in the ccrridor outside the Registrar’s office in Owens hall.
H.W. Patmore Registrar
The unofficial score showed the frosh victors, 650-250, in the annual Soph-Frosh brawl Friday on the Dental field.
In the first event, which was the sack race, the sophs surged ahead by defeating the frosh 100-75.
The wheelbarrow event showed the sophs still in command of the score by defeating the frosh ISO-25.
Noble Steeds
The noble steeds were brought out of their stalls and placed in position for the horse race. In the far stretch both horses were neck and neck being propelled by eight pairs of flashing legs. But coming down the home stretch the yearlings edged ahead and managed to win by a nose, giving the frosh hope with a 100-0 win.
It was during the tug-o-war that the colors of the frosh began to emerge. For the first few seconds both sides held their own but then the superior strength of the frosh finally won out and from there on in it was the fro6h by a mudslide.
While the push-ball was being j
put into position, the recently r*-'■ covered trophy again took a dis-| appearing act by an unknown abductor, presumably a sophomore i who could read the writing on the wall. The 17-inch trophy that went AWOL Feb. 12 was found resting in the archives of the Delta Sigma Phi fraternity house from where it was supposed to have been taken.
The push-ball turned into a grim reaper for some of the contestants when it was proved the ball was considerably softer than the ground. Participants and spectators alike were dropping like flies from the onslaught of the ball. After two attempts the frosh emerged victorious with a score of 250-0.
Unfair Tactics
When asked what contributed to the sophomore loss, Dick Dupar, sophomore class president, replied, “It was due to unfair tactics, cheating on the score-keeping, and we were badly outnumbered.” He added that the trophy would be presented to the freshmen as soon as it was recovered.
Moldenhauer was asked why his team was the victor. “We had more spirit,” he said, and then added, “We used quite a few girls on our
