Sig Ep Arsonists Start Farce Fire The Eugene fire department, pledges and members of Sigma Phi Epsilon, and a few of the boys from the Sigma Nu and Kappa Sig houses got a workout about 1:30 Friday morning all because the Sig Eps decided to hold a fire drill. Maurie Salomon, Loyd Man ning, and Bob Henderson decided a fire drill should be realistic so they filled a wash tub with rags and lit it. As soon as the flames had mounted to a sufficient height and the smoke was pour ing into the sleeping porch, they began ringing the fire bell and shouting to everyone in the porch that the house was on fire and to get out as quickly as possible. The scared Sig Eps rushed down stairs to see the Sigma Nus, the Kappa Sigs, the fire department, and all the neighbors standing outside watching for the flames. Somebody in one of the other houses had seen the smoke and heard the noise, and turned in an alarm. Assured that there was actual ly no danger, the shivering audi ence finally returned to their beds and the Sig Eps settled down to discuss the incident un til sleep called a halt.
