Show Started in 1910 I r jf Wendell Willkie Paul McNutt "Life is a funny proposition after all," said a popular song in the early part of the century. It was sung rather lustily about 1910, the time that Wendell Willkie, Will-kie, Republican presidential candidate and Paul McNutt, Democratic aspirant, were students stu-dents at Indiana university. They were at opposite political I ends then, too. Only then it was Willkie who was socialistic, and leader of therabble the "barbs" while the McNutt faction was the so-called aristocratic and "Greek letter" fraternity group. In Willkie's senior year, however, how-ever, they effected peace, Willkie Will-kie becoming a member of Mc-Nutt's Mc-Nutt's frat, the Betas. In 1940 the frat brothers are again fighting each other politically. |
