Show Higher Edocatiora Given Boost At the University of Utah V As a result of the attempt of the freshman class to pose for a picture for tho year book Tuesday afternoon, sevoral girls spent Tuesday night washing dough from their hair, while tho boys wero making oxccllent use of tho wliisk broom on account of tho generous heaping of flour upon their heads by some of the "sophs." The episode occurred while the class was lined up bofore tho camera on the steps of tho library building, for it happened that a bunch of daring sophomores who had read carefully all the numerous notices of the frcshmou regarding the time, and the placo, for the picture, had provided themselves with a sack of "Husler's Best" and had climbed into one of tho upper rooms of the building, where they remained hidden until all the finishing touches had been put or by the photographer. Then with great atealth they rnisod the window and poured the flour, in buckot-fuls, buckot-fuls, down upon the heads of tho innocent inno-cent frcshmon. jf happened that the girls received the greater part of lho dose, and many of them were completely com-pletely covered with the stuff. The boys of tho class were greatly enraged at the affair and immedialelv sct to work to punish tho sophs. With great, difficulty they nnde their wav into tho uppor rcoms, where they found a bunch of tho offenders, and a free-for-all scrap ensued, which soon spread until it contained nearly nil the sophs and man3' of the freshmen. Not havinc room for a genoral 6crap in. tho building, build-ing, however, lho bo-s went outside on tho Inwn, and found an excellent plncc to mash tho heads of their opponents into tho soft layer of fresh fertilizes thnt lias recently been placed there. To say that tho follows wero "hard look ing specimens" is putting it mildly, for tho mud that was clinging to trousors nnd shirts after the scrap was of the sort that doesn't come off. The fight was not to go on interrupted inter-rupted for lone, however, for just as thc-nux-up was at its worst, " President Kingsbury appeared on tho scone and with u pad of paper and a poncil, whiel he kept going at a good rate of spoed ho soon managed to got down tho names of all who were taking pnrt. The freshmen are still highly indiV nnnt over the matter and declare thn if the sophomores accept the spilliiu of the flour as a class affair, they wi! arm for a scrap and will challenge fh. sophomores for the wickedest hairclii ping contest ever known at tho varsit |
