Bell Ringer Tolls
Memories of Wild
`Rats' in Old Main
Joe, the Old Main bell ringer, who
has been in the College service for
more than twenty-eight years prob
ably knows more Old Main lose than
any other College employee. He has
enjoyed the pm ilege of watching
ninny of those spirited Old Main rats
who formerly ran wild about the halls
transformed into mature men of se
date mien and mild manners
"Yes sir," he says, "they were some
boys. You should have seen them
Hallowe'en night. When they got
loose they tore everything up One
time they went out and got old bug
gies, vegetables—anything loose that
they could lay their hands on and
filled up the wells formed by the
staircase.
"An Arizona cowboy came to school
here. This boy was meek enough to
look at but he sure had a fire under
neath him One night the boys
thought he needed a little hazing so
they went over to the Unitersity
that's the University Club now, where
he was stayan' to see what they could
do Well, he met them nice enough
but when he saw what they was up
to, he pulled two guns and made tkein
climb through the transome."
