The winner of the Lambda Chi

Polaroid camera situated on the
finish line.
Jim Heil, Lambda Chi derby
chairman, said the result of the
race would te announced after the

last night to determine who will
be their pushers.
One Triangle pusher, Art Grelf,
who pushed their cart to victory in
the last lap of their first heat, was
unable to push in the finals because of a sprained back. An alternate, Jim Irvine, replaced Greif
for the last lap or the finals.
John Bailey, Triangle president,
said Irvine was not prepared for
the race and gave out about ten
yards before the finish line. '
In commenting about the playoff. Bailey said, "The decision of
the Judges should be final, but we

thought we had the best team. We
we can win it again."
Pushing for Triangle will be
Billy Harrison, Boyd Hurst, Bob
Haschak and Jim Irvine or Art
Oreif. Walter Bomhoff will be
their driver.
Allen Dawson,
Delt president,
said he was "very pleased with the
decision." He added, "I'm sorry it
turned out this way, but the best
alternative to settle it is a playoff. We have everything to gain
and the Triangles everything to

Dawson added that their pusher,
Kenny Baker, and driver, Claude
Pierce, thought that they had won.
He said the picture was taken before the carts reached the finish
line and the Delt cart was ahead
after they crossed the line.
Pushing for the Delta will be
Carleton Godsey, Reaves Jackson,
John Sargent and Kenny Baker.
A new rule that pushers may not
release the cart until it has crossed
the finish line, planned for next
year's race, will be in effect at the

when a picture, taken by Ourney

HE

To The Editor:

Just a word concerning grammar.
"Most unique'' which appeared on
Wednesday's editorial page in the
article entitled "Some Overlooked
'Oscars"' is the worst of the "wors-test- ".
(sic!) Perhaps the editor and
proofreader need to spend a little
more time studying grammar.
However, the editorial concerning
("The Hollow Hall") which appeared
in Tuesday's Kernel was excellent and
more than made up for the KcrncTs
occasional grammatical errors. There
are few state universities where the
taxpayers furnish a faculty and staff
with a million dollar country club,
even when considered by a few as a
bargain, when the classroom buildings
have been condemned as fire hazards.
The Kernel is to be commended on
its recent editorials as they have been
of the highest quality.

The Happy Panty Raid
A week has passed since the local
cops' outstanding dramatization of
"Chicken Little," and yet the rumor
of an impending panty raid is still being circulated. The ravages of this
persistent whisper can easily be seen.
For example, an estimate of the extra gasoline expended by UK paddy
wagons in patrolling the women's
liorms, lying in wait for the howling
mob to converge upon them, would

stagger the imagination. Housemothers, too, are showing the unmistakable signs of panty-rai- d
panic. On
other hand, there is much wringthe
ing of hands and gnashing of teeth
among coeds over the thought that
the raid won't come off.
This situation strikes us as so much
hooey,
hokum ' and huckamuck.
Shucks, the remedy is so simple, so
logical that we blush to mention it:
Just include a panty raid on the
social calendar; make it an annual
event.
Of course, an undertaking of such
magnitude would necessitate careful
planning. First of all, representatives
from the men's dorms, in conjunction
with the Office of the Dean of Men
and the house council from each
women's hall, could set a date and
time for the raid. The next step would
be to alert campus, city and state

police, who would flash lights, make
siren noises and twirl their burnished
espantoons above their heads, like so
many drum majors.
Then, at. Zero Hour, with assorted
screams and bellows, the attack would

begin. Coeds would be allowed to
throw up windows, wave, scream,
giggle, yell, etc., to the point of laryngitis, meanwhile dangling bits of lace
tantalizingly from miniature flagstaffs
(provided by M&O). Policemen, stationed in platoons at entrances to the
dormitory drives, would bar all outsiders (for no one would be admitted
without an ID card). Content in the
knowledge that their little charges
were safe, housemothers,, gently
chuckling and nodding their kind
heads, would prepare refreshments.
When both groups had yelled themselves hoarse, the boys would be invited in for Cokes and cookies. Afterwards everybody would go their separate ways (each boy carrying some
small bit of lingerie given as a favor,
like), speechless but satiated. "The
girls would be happy. The boys would
be happy. The housemothers would
be happy. The cops would be happy.
Everybody would be happy.
And to think they'd owe it all to
us!

Oh, happiness!

Tally Ho, Stanley!
Our profound sympathy goes out
today to one Stanley Murrell, an Englishman who has just been granted
a divorce from his wife by a London
judge, even though the harrassed
plaintiff:
Punched his wife in the eye;
Dragged her by the hair;
Threatened to throw her down a

deep well; '
Chased her with a pitchfork;
Threw a brick at her;
And threatened to strangle her.
It seems Mrs. Murrell is equipped
with what the judge termed, in typically laconic English fashion, "an
evil tongue"; and, for seven years, she
had twitted her husband with unfounded accusations that he carried
on with every, woman in the neighborhood. Poor Murrell, now, is about
the most unimpeachably virtuous
chap one could hope to find, and fin

ally (after seven years of patience)
he took umbrage at his espoused's
constant heckling and vented his
spleen by poking m'lady in the eye.
Then, stout fellow, he did his best to
contribute to her general misery by
chasing her through the Rye with a
pitchfork and a brickbat.
Lest you think that English jurisprudence has gone agley in granting
him, not his wife, the divorce, perhaps we should add that Mrs. Murrell, while not denouncing her husband as an incorrigible rake, was

committing adultery (so the judge
says) with a chap she'd met quite
casually at the cinema. So the judge
gave the divorce to Murrell, with the
marvelously understanding statement
that "I don't think he did any more
than any reasonable man would have
done."

Ileal, Not Imitation Life
To The Editor:
In Wednesday's Kernel, Philip Cox
made the suggestion "to gather up
the bridge club and go see the fun,"
the fun being "Imitation of Life"

(which he labels a "tearjerker"), now
showing at the Ben Alt. I have a
better suggestion, or, at least, one
which should liven up the party considerably.
When you gather up the bridge
club, try going around to the sinister,
dark, dingy, back entrance, climbing
several flights of dismal, hazardous
steps to reach an even more dismal
(if such is possible) viewing chamber.
One precaution: take care in choosing your seats. This uninviting place
is almost a perfect incline. If you
aren't careful you might fall down on
the favored patrons on the first floor.
No, seat belts aren't provided. When
viewed from this angle, somehow
"Imitation of Life" becomes hilariously funny.

On The Spot
When The Candidates Met The Press
By DAN MILLOTT
Two nervous gentlemen made their
way into the SUB Social Room Wednesday afternoon immediately before the
Sigma Delta Chi "Meet The Press"
forum.

The two, Rob Wainscott and Taylor
Jones, were about to make their first
and only joint appearance during the
1959 SC presidential campaign.
The SDX forum was the beginning of
the last week of campaigning. Neither
seemed to be too worn from the proceedings. The questioning Wednesday
didn't destroy either candidate, although, if you are partisan, I suppose
one may have looked better than the
other.
Usually about this time we should
be hearing some predictions, from one
side or the other, about the outcome.
This year the story is different. No one
is talking. This seems to be a campaign

of silence.
On Wednesday Wainscott backers
were predicting a heavy vote. Jones said
earlier in the week that he thought the
vote would be smaller than usual.
Neither side qualified the terms "heavy"
or "light" as to specific number of votes
cast.
Barring had weather, and if the arts
and sciences seniors will be provided
with an opportunity to vote on May 6
(seniors in the college have to take
the Craduate Record Exams on that
days), the vote will probably exceed last
year's, when nearly 2,400 voted in the
Perlman-Becke- r
race.
from the primary vote of
Judging
over 1,500, the opinions people are holding about this race, and the advantage
the campaign has had with a daily news

paper, an estimate of a vote of 2,500
should not be out of line.
Certainly Student Congress is attracting more interest than the old SCA did.
And this in itself might be enough to
cause an increase in the voter turnout
How has the campaign been going so
far? Both sides think it has been going
quite well. This is natural. Wainscott
had to leave town last weekend for a
Southern SCA meeting at Auburn. The
trip cut three days off of his campaign
time. Jones hasn't been helped by Frank
Schollett's absence in the last few days.
The Campus Tarty vice presidential
nominee had mononucleosis.
What will happen on May 6? Don't
be surprised if it turns out to be a
d
victory. True, it doesn't look
that way now, but it is very possible.
Who will win? That's another question.
d
either
The election could be
way because people might tend to vote
more along party lines than they have
in the past. The absence of two strong,
widely known campus personalities running for president could cause this situation.
If the election is a sweep, will the
losing party fold? That depends on which
party is snowed under. .The Students'
Party could probably survive a setback,
but not without considerable shuffle in
its ranks. The Campus Party would probably undergo a more complete overhaul
if it lost this one. It would no doubt
have a complete change in leadership
next fall which would amount to a new
party-- in
name, at least.
Next Wednesday will not only tell
the tale about SC for next year, but also
for campus politics as well.
