Gallant Galant
Gleefully Gulps
Greek's Goldfish
In a throwback to the roaring
20's. Raymond Galant, eighth
semesterjournalisni senior, showed
his fraternity brothers the tech
nique of swallowing a goldfish.
Unlike the youth of the 20's,
however, - Galant didn't perform
the deed as a stunt.
It all started when a fraternity
brother, Norman Fleekop, offered
Galant $5 to dispose of the fish,
owned by another fraternity bro
ther, Marvin Cotler.
After stripping down to the
waist, Galant, surrounded by an
anxious herd of fraternity broth
ers, lifted the fish to his mouth
and consumed it along with a
glass of water, as the fraters
cheered.
"It was easier than I expected,"
Galant said after the experience.
To prove that claim he has a
standing offer to do it again" for
$2.50."
