A revolutionary new dictionary has coined a 31-letter word to describe the college boys’ mania to stage “panty raids” on girls’ dormitories.
New word: Cryptovestiment-acyclofuromania.
According to the dictionary, tha word means “a recurring mania to steal intimate garments” and is derived from crypto (hidden), vestimenta (garments), cyclo (recurring) and mania (penchant for).
The word appears in a book titled “Sex Dictionary,” authored by Dr. J. E. Schmidt, noted Baltimore physician and lexicographer. It is being published by Hannah Publications of La Crecenta, United Press said.

name of Delta Gamma Marlene Hansen for the title of the “Typical Rocki Rhodes Campus Lovely.”
The entry, which was addressed 6imply to the Daily Trojan editor, stated that Miss Hansen is the choice of the men of “Room 3113, Starboard Bancroft Hall, United States Naval Academy.”
The men of Room 3113 B.H. also sent an invitation to the ultimate winner of the “queen-of-queens” contest beauty contest. According to the invitation, the winner will be awarded a special tour of the U.S. Naval Academy.
Best in World The invitation went on to say, that “the entire brigade at the academy is interested in this contest, in that it feels Navy’s femmes are the best in the world. We would like to see how the civilians like their girls.”
The academy’s invitation will be the sixth prize to be awarded to the contest winner, according to sponsor Rhodes. Other prizes include a pastrami sandwich, a bar of Lifebuoy soap, a plastic, unbreakable jar of “Stopette,” a tube of Hazel Bishop Smearproof lipstick, and finally, the date with the man of her choice from the DT staff.
Meanwhile, all interested “campus lovelies” were reminded that 3 p.m. today is the deadline for submitting entries to the DT editors’ office, 430 SU.
Deadline Announcement In addition to Miss Hansen’s entry, additional entries submit-i ted included ZTA Nellie Jorrits-ma, Thetas Joan Price and Joan Armstrong, Pi Phi Mary Ann Cassidy, and Georgia Rodee.
According to Miss Jorristma’s sponsor, Nellie is a “typical SC coed—completely dizzy.” Her entry was submitted jointly by the Trojan baseball team, a group known as the “grill goers,” and the ZTA house.
Straightforward Miss Price and Miss Armstrong, meanwhile, were a little more straightforward — submitting their own entries. Miss Price, in speaking for both girls, reported that “we feel that we have a chance for the title now that we have a bonus of 15 points.”
Miss Cassidy’s entry was forwarded to the DT by Tom Graham, former Knight president and presently an elder statesman at SC. According to Graham, Miss Cassidy “is young, beautiful, and running for junior class president.”
Mmm, Boy!
Dave Maddux, Commerce president, entered Miss Rodee into the contest. All Maddux could say was: “Mmmm, boy!”
All entries were reminded by Rhodes that an interview schedule will be published in Monday’s or Tuesday’s Daily Trojan. Actual judging will be held later in the week.
“She” went on to say that judging will be based on beauty, cooperation, and sex.
Rhodes concluded by saying that “she’s” disappointed in the turnout to date of both Thetas and DeeGees.
“We’ve slaved over a hot typewriter for two years to publicize these two houses. And what do they do in return—fail to support our contest. Oh well, they probably don’t have anybody worthy of the ‘queen-of-queens’ title anyway.”	_____________________

Carroll revealed yesterday that general admission tickets were “at least three-quarters sold out” for tonight’s Greek Theater performance.
“The way tickets are disappearing now," Miss Carroll said, “we’ll triple the attendance of past AMS and AWS Songfests in Bovard.”
Meanwhile, the SC ticket office reported that the Songfest “could easily be a sellout, although we can’t give an exact estimate of the tickets sold. All we know is that they’re going fast.”
Reserved Seats Gone
All of the Songfest s SI reserved tickets were gone as of Wednesday. The remaining tickets, which in the general admission sections, cost 50 cents each.
The Songfest’s 700-odd performers, who represent most of the organizations on campus, had final rehearsals last night and “eventually got most of the bugs out of their routines,” one observer reported.
In last night’s first rehearsal, which began at 6:30, the cast walked through the show’ and concentrated on straightening out the order of performances.
The later rehearsal session, complete with lights, band, and everything but an audience, lasted until nearly midnight.
This year’s Songfest is a completely new departure from past university singing productions. It

In addition to award presentations, musical entertainment will be furnished by the winners of tonight’s Songfest, Blankinship revealed.
“We also stand a good chance of getting some big-name personality as our master of ceremonies,” said Blankinship. “Right now it looks like it might be Bob Hope or Art Linkletter.”
The top award of the assembly is the Order of the Palm, given to the year’s outstanding male graduating senior on the basis of scholarship, athletics, and leadership. Verle Sorgen won last year’s Order of the Palm.

Competition will be divided among fraternities, sororities, dormitories, and independent service organizations. These groups can enter any three of the five performance categories offered — men’s, women’s, mixed, small group, and novelty.
First and second prizes will be awarded in all five divisions of entry, and a grand sweepstakes award will be given to the outstanding entry.
The Songfest’s winning trophies, which will be presented to the top groups in each division, are on display in the showcase in the south lobby of Founder’s Hall.
Orchestra Leader Nelson Riddle and recording artist Walter Schumann are among the outstanding personalities who will be judges.
Electra Hailed Finest' in Drama, Continues Run
“Electra,” a must for drama fans and hailed as Dr. James H. Butler’s “finest SC production to date,” will run through this Saturday night according to Bill White, production manager.
Tickets are still available for the remaining nights. They are selling for $1 for orchestra seats and 50 cents for balcony seats, while bearers of student activity books get in free.
Crowds have been so large that the Los Angeles Times and the Los Angeles Examiner will send reviewers to the last performances.
Help' Coming But Under A New Name
Fretting about finals? Nervous about mononucleosis? Well cheer up. “Help” is coming. So is “Kelp.” But this time, it will be called “College Life and Humor.”
The multi-named college joke magazine which burst in on Southland academic circles three months ago will be back on SC’s newstand Monday to bring smiles to collegians who are beginning to suffer from exam exhaustion.
It will contain the same type of chuckle-filled features, the same type of informative inside stories of events at Southland colleges, and possibly some of the same jokes that the first issues, titled “Help” and “Kelp,” carried.
Among the features in “College Life and Humor” will be a story on the SC baseball team, entitled “Mystery of Bovard Field;” a picture series on the Trojan Marching Band; an exclusive interview with Coach John Wooden of UCLA, in which he predicts what PCC basketball teams will do next year, and many other articles.
The new issue will boast more jokes, cartoons, and humorous articles than ever before, including items by Jack Benny and radio comic Hawthorne. It will still sell for only 25 cents.
