Vandalism Hits Pitt, University
Destruction
Condemned
By Cabinet
All-University Cabinet f last
night condemned any acts of
destruction resulting from the
football rivalry between the
University and the University
of Pittsburgh this wekend.
The action grew out of several
acts of destruction by fraternity
students on the Pitt campus Tues
day and Wednesday which have
so far drawn unofficial censure
by the University.
Cabinet also agreed that the
student body, as represented by
the All-University pr esi d en t,
should take steps to obtain a
"wholesome form of rivalry" be
tween the schools:
Friendly Rivalry
It was agreed by members that
friendly rivalry between the Uni
versity and Pitt before and after
the football game Saturday is ex
pected, but should, not be carried
to the extremes that it has alreadv
reached.
Five 'students from Phi Sigma
Kappa were fined $125 yesterday
when they painted the Cathedral
of Learning at Pitt..TwO days be
fore the Cathedral and its side
walks were painted by University
students.
Dean of Men Frank 3. Simes
brought up .the, subject when he
asked. whether " Cabinet would
take some action to prohibit such
destruction. He said. a can of
paint was thrown through a win
dow in the Hetzel Union Build
ing, causing an estimated $lOO in
damage.
The motion concerning obtain
ing of a wholesome form of rival
ry was asked by Philip BeArd,
All-University secretary-t rea s
urer.
Seely May Contact Pitt '
It was expected that All-Uni
versity President Earl Seely will
contact the heads of the Pitt
student government today and at
tempt to work out , a plan to pre
vent fUrther destruction.
Ross Lehman - , Alumni secretary,
felt that Robert Bullock, Inter
fraternity Council president,
could also take action , since fra
ternity members have been re
sponsible for most of the damage.
On a suggestion of Lehman's
that any future rivalries between
the University and other schools
should also be taken into account,
Beard amended his motion to in
clude thought of action regarding
future incidenth.
Robert Mcidill ,an senior class
president suggested that Cabinet
instruct Tribunal, *men'sjudicial
body, to consider cases of destroy
ingany school property as a ma
jor offense.
However, Simes said •he was
just looking for a general state
ment by Cabinet authorizing con
demnation of destruction. He said
several students • have already
been, subject to Tribunal jurisdic
tion.

He is scheduled for a bluebook today.
"It was dark at 10:30 Wednesday night and I was leaving

"These three guys walk up to
me, say a word or so, take hold
of my arm, and start walking

up and I was pushed in.
"They weren't mean looking—
some Pittsburgh students, I guess
—they didn't say so though. I
didn't try to fight them to get out.
They took me passed the Lion a
few times, then told me they were
taking me to Pittsburgh."
It was then that the four "stu

to say that he would be safe. The

HUB Window Hit,
Five Repaint Pitt
Petty mischief turned into vandalism during the last 48
hours as student attacks on both the University and Pittsburgh
campuses caused damage costing hundreds of dollars.
Eleven University students were involved with painting
incidents on the Pitt campus; all were taken into police cus-
tody and later released.
The costliest destruction oc
curred between 2:30 and 3 a.m.
yesterday when a bottle of white
paint was thrown through one of
the smaller Hetzel Union ball
room windows facing Pollock
road.
The bottle broke through a 3
by 3 foot window, just missing
the expensive curtains. White
paint was splattered over 12
chairs, the music box, and across
the ballroom floor. Parts of the
bottle were found on the far side
of the room by nightworkmen.
'Unnecessary, Criminal'
"This was an unnecessary,
criminal, and ill-thought of act,"
George Donovan, manager of the
Student Union, said. "The throw
ing of paint is going beyond
school spirit. It is an ugly mark
against the students."
DonoVan pointed out that one
week ago nine Pittsburgh stu
dents toured the HUB and re-

in the carnival be allowed to
choose their own booth themes.
Both were passed unanimously.
