bed invaders strike at dawn at 3 o'clock when all was quiet the crafty maroon invaders sneak ed onto the campus and battled off with banner in righteous wrath the thoroughly awakened engi neers piled

the rallies in past years the various classes were in charge of the football rallies but the shortage of civilian students has caused other groups to sponsor the rallies in contrast to past lafayette
