Fraternity News

Sig News: The first and prob- ably the most noticable difference in the \Honse on the Hill\ is the addition of \Baron.\ The young gentleman has made himself very much at home . . . The vacation waa very eventful for both the members who spent their first Thanksgiving in Potsdam and also thost who journyed home. On the local front the Roxy and Rialto plus the movie theaters in Ogdens- burg and Watertown furnished the major attraction. As for the troops that journeyed east, west and south, unfortunate car acci- dents were the major attraction. (Right MJD) . . . Question of the week? What does the Confederate Flag in the press box at the arena signify ? . . . I have been led to be- live that the excuse that broom- ball is just around the corner is the main reason for the popularity of the Arena during public skating. Am I right, Howie? . . . The Sig- ma Delta date bureau has lost one of its prominent prospects. A gray Ford has been seen parked in front of Merritt Hall quite regularly. (Any comment Vince) . .. . If We can reminisce for a moment, it was- great to see the favorable impres- sion that Claude Thornhill left with those who attended the Junior Prom; also the way Stan picked up where he left off the day he grad- uated. I don't believe that we will ever forget his humor and songs ... In closing, I hope that I will see you all at the Variety Show tonight. '

Lambda News: Many sighs were heard as the boys stepped off the weight scales, and this was a sure' sign of a satisfying Thanksgiving day . . . Speaking of being thank- ful, Bill (Stranger in Paradise) Siegenthaler wants no part of Montreal hospitals and after a hero like reception including signs and banners, appeared to be happy to be back in his old room at 30 Elm St. . . . Gene Wojtaszek has been giving the impressioni that he and' not Alexander Graham Bell in- vented the telephone. It seems that one senior member of Lambda by the name of Sandy Ginsberg must be quite a child prodigy. His story is that the little 1953 high school ring reported on his left hand, be- longs to him. Maybe it does? But •earning new names for themselves we have other guesses . . . Schwar- tz, Mazo, Shenby and De Lario are . . . Jappers!! . . . Too bad the same space can't be occupied at the same time. . . Jim English must be glad hunting season is coming to a •close. Now he won't see any more rabbits in the trees. . . The lame duck amendment might be out, but the lame back is replacing it—eh Whitey? ... We have a new Frank Buck in the house by the name of White Buck Sheehan.. . See you all at the I.F.C. Charity Hop.

Neutral News: Everyone seems to have recovered from the Thanksgiving feast and short va- cation . . . We all received a big jolt when Bob Dooley attended our last meeting. We thought he was lost permanently to the girls at SLU . . . Gene Kosmoski was con- spicuous by his absence. Would it have any connection with those trips to Canton? . . . Ask Chuck Kniffin about the situation in Plattsburg. Not satisfied with having girls in Canton, Plattsburg and his home town, he is quite friendly with a waitress in the Cof- fee Shop. Don't be surprised if he legally changes his name to Rom- eo Kniffin . . . Although the score would indicate otherwise, the basketball team looked good again- st Lambda while losing 55-23. It looked good to see the fellows playing in jerseys of the club col- ors ... At present the club is being geared for the ice carnival events.

Let's all get out and support the club in its efforts to present some competition to the fraternities.

Karma News: All the kats re- turned from their vacation feeling very chipper. They all enjoyed their first well planed meal since the middle of September. Please don't be bitter Harry . . . News Flash—T. West finally sells the Cato Car. Tears of joy were streaming down his face as he parted with this prize of the clas- sic car field . . . Sharpie got start- ed early last Wednesday with a few eye-openers and was later seen staggering off the train in Utica for a little liquid refreshments . . . Hooker, where did you pick up that Riveria ? Or shall I call it a block long bomb? . . . Don't anyone tell George but the Fuller Brushman paid a visit to Mr. Greco last week . ..

Bucky is coming along fine and should be back in civilization soon. Glad to hear that Red Manning is all set . . . Word has been received that Dave Yerks is back in school down in Westchester . . .

Alumni Fred Piep- er, who dons a uniform today, was in attendance. ... Is Baggy really interested in Brooksie's sister ? . . . Big Lionel B. played cashier and wound up washing dishes to pay for the bill . . . Preparations are now underway for the Christmas party which will feature the \sec- ret Santa\ . .

Congratulations to our football, bowling, and both basket- ball teams, who gave us a 1.000 average in athletics last week . . . Bouquets are also in order for George Hanna and Liz Jackson. . . It looks as though the vie party to- night will be one of the year's best. The house will be converted into \The Golden Horseshoe,\ a fron- tier casino in 3-D, straight from a western picture. The chorus line will be imported from gay Paree . . . The neophyte members will provide part of the entertainment when they christen their mugs. Some of them feel that Tom should join them.

The cry that issued forth from Ginn and Johnson im- mediately upon entering the door Sunday night was \Let's join them.\ They had many weird tales to tell about their \Joe College\ friends at the student government convention over the weekend at Albany ... It seems that Sunday was also quite eventful for another group from the thill. We were led to believe that Bart's car was seen traveling out Lawrence Ave. short- ly after dinner Friday afternoon . . . The weekend has turned into what some people would call an al- umni weekend. The Navy has re-j turned along with some of our ci- vilian friends. The word is that when Bob and Stan leave us, the former will be enroute to Califor- nia for a boat ride, while Stan is planning on lounging on the beaches of Virginia. ' Good luck men ... Both the bowling and bas- ketball teams have started out on the right foot for the ensuing win- ter season. Keep up the good work men... In closing, hope to see you at the Junior Prom tomorrow night.
