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.
