WET GREEKS SHOWER ROW IN FROLIC'
Daily Trojan Photo By Bruce Armstrong WATER SHOW—Fraternity men in the midst of last Friday's water frolic watch as a fire hose swishes out of control and threatens tc dampen spirits.
By MIKE ROBINSON
Weekend fever brought a water fight that nearly swamped seven fraternity and sorority houses along the row last Friday afternoon.
During the hour and a half of scattered battles, two sorority houses were given a bath, the Pi KA fire truck was showered with eggs and gallons of water issued forth from hoses, fire extinguishers, waste baskets and buckets during the action described by one rowite as a “Friday afternoon frolic.”
‘ It all started with a preliminary burst at the Kappa Kappa Gamma car wash,’’ sa>d an observer who laughed. “I’d like to live so you don’t have to print my name in that story.”
‘Some of the Kappa Gammas were washing cars in jeans and sweatshirts when somebody decided the pledges weren’t getting wet enough,” the unnamed observer said.
‘ Then at least eight Kappas got
drenched. Most of them just got pails of water thrown on them, but
one got tossed into a big puddle on the lawn,” he said.
“Meanwhile, the Kappa Alphas and the Sigma Alpha Epsilons started a friendly little ‘war’ over at the SAE house. Nothing serious, just a little water.” he said.
“As I saw it, the SAEs, at first defended the fortress and repelled them, but then the KAs came back in force and shelled the SAE house with eggs and water,” he continued.
An hour later the SAEs were still cleaning their house.
“Just when the war between the SAEs and the KAs was breaking up,” the observer said, “the Betas started things all over again by storming the SAE house.”
“Th^ Betas started throwing barrages of eggs and then they attacked the SAEs in hand to hand combat,” he added. Actually everything would have been finished if the Betas hadn’t been so anxious to get into the rout.”
“But with the aid of a fire extinguisher, which the SAEs were shooting from the second floor of
their house, and with a hose, which got wrapped around a lamp post and turned into a tug-of-war rope, the SAEs got rid of the Betas,” the Rowite said.
“During the battle, the Tri-Delts across the street were watching from their vantage point, when the Betas decided the Tri-Delts were looking a little too lofty on their perch,” he said.
“The Betas threw waterbombs all over the house, and the last one went through the front door,” he said.
“One girl drove into the Tri-Delt driveway while all the water fighting was raging and she got splashed with a water balloon,’ ’he added. “Her car got a free washing in the process, too.”
“But, thfen, any girl who is dressed in bermudas and a sweatshirt and gets into the middle of a water fight deserves to be drowned,” the observer declared.
Fallowing the submerging of the Tri-Delt house, a general peace settled over the row . , . for about 10
minutes.
Following the 10-minute calm, action started up again toward the other end of the row when girls on the roof of the Kappa Alpha Theta house threw wastebaskets full of water, water-balloons and eggs down on some “innocent” fraternity men.
It wasn’t long before the gathering of men students returned the compliment as one of them stripped his shirt off and proceeded to hose a stream of water up at the taunting girls.
While his cohorts tossed eggs and water balloons, the hose man sprayed water through the third-story open windows of the house.
When he finished, the house rugs had only been dampened, while he looked as if he had recently completed a channel swim.
Hostilities ended as the wetter 'ones emerged again on the row in dry clothes, and only the scene of egg yolk and shells on the street and sidewalks gave evidence of the “Friday afternoon frolic.”

initial step in the student campaign to remove the death sentence from California statute, said Allswang.
Repeal Death Sentence
The campaign is in part the result of Governor Pat Brown’s appeal to Californians to “express themselves” on capital punishment, added Allswang.
Last Friday Brown asked the State Legislature to settle once and for all the question of capital punishment when he granted convict - author Caryl Chessman a 60-day reprieve from the gas cl.amber.

Why did Dr. Stahl pick “Amphitryon 38"? “I liked it," he said flatly. “I feel that no director should undertake a play that he does not enjoy.”

Point of the program is a “pledge" that the new arrival will be enrolled at SC 20 years later.
Begun in 1951. Dr. Harrison's cigar collection has grown to a total of 55, and his showcase of future “registrants" has room for many more.
He got the idea of the showcase when one of his students gave him the traditional “new arrival" cigar.
“I put it in the case and along came some more,” he said. “It just grew and grew.”
Each time one of his students becomes a father, classwork stops for what has become a traditional and increasingly frequent ceremony.
“I make the announcement that we have a new candidate for the SC class of so-and-so,”
Dr. Harrison says. “Then I announce the name of the new arrival, the father takes a bow, there is applause and father comes down the aisle with the the dynamics of beribboned cigar.”	ment," he said.
