vineyard it which occurred about 10:30 p.m friday the students many of them freshman rushees were required to fill out and sign lengthy and detailed statements concerning every thing from their mother's maiden name to the doctor that officiated at their birth the several agents who made the raid aided in filling out the forms when the raid occurred the agents swarmed in the front entrance and told everyone to stay where they were many under-age students how ever escaped in the confusion at least four fraternities with rushees were involved the agents then proceeded to ask for age identification cards preferably student identification cards those who could not prove they were over 21 or who readily admitted that they were not were required to fill out the forms upon arriving one agent who later said he had recently been a chaperone at kappa alpha fraternity made a comment that there were so many under-age students there that they would not all fit in the lcb car to be transported to an unidentified place included in the questionnaire were such queries as full name local address home address father's and mother's names how many times the person had visited that particular place whether age had been ques tioned by the bartender whether the person had paid for the beer or had gotten it through others and whether beer or liquor was consumed the question that most stumped the students was that concerning the doctor that officiated at their birth no students were taken from the maennerchor many under-age students continued to drink while signing the statements although originally shocked most students took the raid rather lightly assurances by the agents that they would not be fined pleased many of those present those who signed the papers may be

of four parts though the theme was generally sorrowful the muted tones and tingling harp ac companiment sent chills up and down the backs of the more intent listeners it was during this piece that the audience appeared rapt by musical hypnosis beethoven's symphony no 7 in a major in four parts was the next and longest piece this masterpiece so delighted the au dience that it drew four cur tain
