ARAVANS LEAVE ROW TO OPEN DT BIKE WEEK
Bike Week, the Daily Trojan’s campus bicycle cam-Ipaign, was scheduled to begin today with two caravan movements between the Row and campus at 7:50 a.m. land 8:50 a.m. Cyclists with eight and nine o’clock classics were asked to assemble on 28th Street at University lAvenue where DT Managing Editor Rodger Darbonne, Ibike week coordinator, planned to lead the groups stride the Daily Trojan’s peppermint striped copy bike. A week long bike emphasis campaign is planned to
popularize the campus cycling idea at SC. By emphasizing cycling during Bike WTeek, the DT is leading an organized effort to establish bikes as year-round campus transportation.
“Many students are already cycling on campus,” Darbonne said. “W« hope those without bikes will obtain one, since the purchase will be a. bargain in the long run.”
Citing the case of one student who cycles to cam-
pus from the Western-Adams area, Darbonne told some of the values of owning and riding a bike.
“In rush traffic, bikes are just as quick as cars. Bike repairs are relatively inexpensive whereas car repairs generally run between $20 and $75, and the car still shows very little difference afterwards. A good, new bike at $50 or a used one at $10 returns that value many times.”
A bike route between the Row and campus has been
marked out to establish a safe route to Troy. Bike Week may also include a Cyclorama and racing demonstration if details can be worked out. A list of bike dealers will be published this week to assist students in obtaining wheels.
If Bike Week is successful in establishing campus cycling at SC, the Bicycle Institute of America will use Troy as a source for national bicycle publicity, Darbonne reported.

★ Ride A Bike to Campus
Throughout the Daily Trojan this week you will find bicycles and cyclists comprising a good part of the news. Through, this emphasis, the Daily Trojan is creating Bike Week, not as a one week campaign, but as a commencing effort to give bike transportation sanction as a movement worthy to SC.»
* We have seen the University make many efforts to provide parking lots, but as fast as buildings were razed and asphalt laid, we have seen the lots fill to excess. IFC and Panhellenic discussed the problem last fall, and as one solution, suggested bicycles for the students living on campus. The DT recognizes this solution as both practical and vital. It is a student solution for a university problem.
This is Bike Week. But it is more than a newspaper campaign. It is a hope that students will rally round the idea which evolved from student discussion and turn Bike Week into a year-round activity.
Fund Raising Plan
Sought by Leaders Papers Get Awards
At Newspaper Day
Whether you buy a new bike, borrow the one your kid brother is not using at home, or shop around until you find a serviceable used or rebuilt bike is immaterial. What you want to do is ride a bike to campus to support this movement which will benefit you. Cycling has other aspects to it than solving a parking problem. Cycling is quick and convenient, yet no more strenuous than walking fast to a late class. It is good exercise. It is the practical way to move about campus. It is inexpensive.
We don’t expect to see all 11,000 day students wheeling down University Avenue. We do expect that those with bikes now will ride them to campus, and we expect others to give serious consideration during the next few days and weeks to join the bike movement. Whether or not it catches on depends on you. So, during Bike Week, and weeks to come, ride a bike to campus.—R.D.

Carnival Draws Nearly 700 for Women's Event
Chi Omega’s “ChiO Island’’ fun house, featuring cadavers, red dragons, and a witch’s brewery walked off with the grand sweepstakes award at the YWCA Carnival Friday night when nearly 700 people gathered to witness the fun.
Alpha Omicron’s Pi’s “Dutch Treat” won for the most beautiful entry and Zeta Tau Alpha’s “Dog Patch Slobbovia the award for the most humorous.
“Gollywog Cake Walk” by Town and Gown was judged most original and Delta Sigma Theta’s “Delta Italiano” pizza kitch won for most appropriate.
Y Adviser Mrs. Ruth Grant announced the decision of Judges Dean and Mrs. John D. Cooke and Harry Nelson, student activities adviser, at 9 p.m.
Bloody Horror
Visitors to the carnival were ushered into the ChiO fun house in an atmosphere of horror. A head dripping with blood, a dead body, skeletons, snakes, chains, poison apples, a trick tunnel, and an authentic witch’s brewery done with dry ice and water horrified and amused spectators.
A real live ghost leaped out at carnival goers as wet thread swiped across faces in the pitch dark house.
An arbor trimmed with handmade colored* paper tulips and a pathway outlined by a white fence and more tulips greeted people to the “Dutch Treat.”
At the window funsters could pitch tennis balls through the window into the dairy bans. If enough of the balls went in the customer was awarded a colored pin-wheel. Alpha Os sat around in typical Dutch costumes and wooden shoes.
Slobbovia
The days of Lil’ Abner and Daisy Mae came to life when the ZTAs gave their rendition of “Dog Patch Slobbovia.” Rosie .Arnoid as “Li’l Joe” and Marion Statton as a tvpical Siobhov^n advertised for customers to purchase “Coffee if they were not or Coke if they were cold.”
