Bird Offered
At ISA Dance
A prime piece of poultry named
McGillicuddy will be guest of hon
or at the ISA Turkey Strut in
Gerlinger hall, Wednesday at 9
p.m. McGillicuddy has graciously
consented to go home after the
dance with members of one of the
campus living organizations. If suf
ficiently strong methods of per
suasion are employed, it is pos
sible that this roast-ripe bird may
be induced to participate in the
Thanksgiving dinner of his host.
It was originally intended to
have an old fashioned turkey shoot
to determine which house would
receive the privilege of providing
hospitality for the young fowl. Be
i cause of the extremely pervious
! quality of the Gerlinger windows
as far as bullets are concerned,
however, the plans have been
amended and McGillicuddy will be
given to a house representative.
Living organizations must have at
least ten members present to be
eligible for the turkey.
