Frosh Brawl, ‘Race’ Victims “Civil War” raged on the Uni versity campus last night when Greek freshmen from the mill race sector engaged in an unpre cedented nocturnal combat with Greeks from the “hills” to the south. The conflict started when the Sigma Nus, Phi Psis, and Kappa Sigs, after throwing each other into the mill race, combined their forces and turned south ward, intent on meting out the same fate to the other unsuspect ing fraternities. After the Sigma Chis felt the iciness of the race, the Phi Delt barn became the next objective. However, some observant “Paul Revere,” detecting the attack, “spread the alarm” to surround ing houses via telephone. A de fensive force of Delts, ATOs, SAEs, Pi Kaps, and Phi Sigs joined the Fijis and Phi Delts in the melee which raged on the li brary lawn. As neither side gained any ad vantage, the conflict conveniently was halted while the opposing sides "adjourned” to the millrace where the struggle came to a cli max with a majority of those concerned hitting the race.
