establishment after the briefing naturally the first thing we look for is refresh ment we find it — in a bathtub a few quickies and someone sug gest we try our luck upstairs be ing a fair man myself at games of chance we mount the steps the joint is buzzing with activity i don't know which table to hit first do i play the horses black jack roulette wheel or just take money with the dotted demons the evening progresses the pockets get fuller and the woman gets anxious so back down stairs we go to sip some more of this wonderful omnipotent mixture after we're tired of pushing our feet through the sawdust to the lovely strains of margie from the player piano we sneak off into the next room to a nice red checked table in the dim candlelight may be the money and prohibition aren't real but the punch and the women are it's okay joe sent me — ever wonder what kind of brawls your folks went to when they were in their rah rah days when pa was chasing the women from the steel mills lehigh got a realistic picture of what used to be last saturday night at the kappa sigma house realistic enough to lose an imaginary shirt on a rou lette wheel or your real equilibri um from bathtub gin even if the bethlehem police de partment ever did stray from the streets that have parking meters number twenty-four east church street would still have appeared a normal abandoned house — boarded up windows and chairs and garbage strewn all over the lawn but there was a back en trance which would be hard to find even if you hadn't had any thing to drink before hand here's on eye witness account of the fes tivities after we find the rear door we still have a hard time getting in but there's the three knocks and magic joe sent me and the sen wlrn initiates first series broadcasts commence

chief engi neer of wlrn everybody wins judges committee selects novel name hundred dollar prize money to be equally distributed to winners the packers chosen from over 150 entries this is the name that will be asso ciated with lehigh teams of the future the committee of judges representative of all branches of the university selected the name as one worthy of representing the university in tradition and history and as one conducive to lehigh spirit in the years to come the judges felt that the name will be a living tribute to the founder of the university mr asa packer as lehigh teams take to the field from year to year in his name in the opinion of the committeemen the packers is strong in connotations of power and drive and , as it be comes solidified in association with lehigh endeavor the name should in itself contribute to a winning lehigh spirit no one entrant is the winner of the contest there were six win ners all of whom submitted the packers the men with the win ning entries were william c beck richards house robert e wieder drinker house elwood cornog jr 542 montclair aye johhn f timmins 428 pawnee st george l vogt drinker house mr samuel harleman alumni office

alumni office one of the winner has relin quished his share of the prize therefore each of the other five entrants will receive twenty dol lars symbols discussed after considering several sug gestions for a mascot and symbol to be used along with the new name the judges decided to leave the field open to ideas and action one of the symbol possibilities worked from the selected name was a between halves stunt in which a locomotive labelled the asa packer limited would roll down the field over the symbol of the opposition the crushing loco motive would be engineered by brownie gremlins thhe

provides that the vice president shall be chosen by re counting all of the presidential ballots after the president has been elected in this system the students who voted for the president also have a voice in the selection of the vice-president election with only a minority choice s therefore pre vented over one-third of the ballots be came exhausted as a result of the insufficient expression of choices by many voters the percentages were 45 for the class of 49 36 for the class of 50 and 45 for the class of 51 many voters ap parently failed to realize the power of their subsequent choices
