which lasted from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m.
Jordan Half contributed the
highest amount of any group, $7O.
Beaver House led the fraternities
in contributions with $6O. Beta
Sigma Rho was second with $5O.
Kappa Sig Razzes IFC
Among the many requests was
Kappa Sigma’s “Don’t. Be Cruel”
to be played for the IFC checkers.
It was up to West Dorms, how
ever, to really inject some origi
nality into the show. Watts Dorm
itory called up and said that if
the Thompson coeds could collect
$75, their ‘road-runner’ would run
all the way, down to WMAJ with
a bathing suit on.
This announcement set off a
chain reaction. Both McAllister
Hall and Women’s Building were
challenged by different men’s
dorms, with many road-runners
volunteering to run the money
down.
Coeds Pull Switch
The coeds then pulled a switch.
It was announced on the radio
that five Thompson coeds would
run down to WMAJ in their bath
ing suits if the West Dorms could
come up with $lOO.
• After the road-runner phase
died down, a new fad appeared
in the form of head-shaving—Yul
Brynner style.
Money was pledged on the stip
ulation that certain people would
have their heads shaved. One
male did appear at-the station
with a shaved head and $l5.

At one point in the show, Fish
bein threatened to keep talking
until $2O was donated. Basketball
player Ron Rainey called up and
donated the $2O, one dollar for
each point he made against West
Virginia Saturday night.
Of all the songs requested,
“Ain’t Got No Home,” by Clar
ence Henry was the most popular.
At 12:30 p.m. yesterday the
road-runner from Watts came in
to WMAJ. He identified himself
as Richard Breth, freshman in
business administration from
Clearfield.
Wears Green Bathing Suit
Breth was wearing a green
printed bathing suit. On his back
he had a sign saying, “The origi
nal Watts road-runner joins the
March of Dimes.”
Breth brought down approxi
mately $75 donated by coeds from
Thompson. Breth said that five
coeds had given him the money.
Of the $Bllll6 pledged, about
$3OO has been received. Those
who pledged money may- bring
it into WMAJ or mail it in care
of the radio station.

Soph Board
Is Studying
Traffic Jam
The Sophomore Class Advisory
[Board is studying a plan to alle
jviate the weekend traffic jam on
Shortlidge Rd.
The plan was proposed by Juri
Niiler, sophomore in engineering
science from Fombell, at a meet
ing Sunday.
It calls for another entrance
into Grange parking lot. The pro
posed entrance would run from 1
Pollock Rd. between the Hetzelj
Union Building and Grange Hall.!
A short road which now leads to|
the service entrance of the HUB
would be- lengthened.
2'd Plan Rejected
Another plan, which called for
an entrance on to Shortlidge Rd.,
was rejected by the Department
of Physical Plant because of the
congestion it would cause at this
point. Since there is less traffic
on Pollock Rd. than on Short
lidge Rd. during the weekend, the
new plan seemed more feasible
to the board.
The board also discussed plans
for the sophomore dance, “Flirta
tion Fling,” to be held from 9 p.m.
to 12 March 9 in the Hetzel Union
ballroom.
Queen to Be Crowned
The Phi Mu Alpha dance band
will provide music for the dance
and Richard Christian, sophomore'
in industrial engineering from 1
Lansdown, will be master of cere
mones.
During intermission a queen
will be crowned. An applause
meter will be used by the class
to choose the queen All sopho
more girls are eligible.
Entries may be submitted to the
HUB desk from tomorrow until
noon on March 2. The board will
vote for five finalists at its meet
ing on March 3.

year as Distinguished Alumni of
