Winter Registratio Released; Student 1 Pressure Cooker Louses Act in Fraternity Kitchen PULLMAN, Wash., Jan. 11—AP—The lid blew off and the act got all hammed up. The lid was on a pressure cooker at a Washington State College fraternity house. The ham was inside the cooker. Suddenly the ham blew through the air and tore a hole in the ceiling. It knocked Harold G. Nelson, Leland sophomore, out of a chair in his room upstairs. Mrs. Pearl Remington, fraternity cook, finally conceded that her cooker blew up. At first, though, she said, “I though the boys were just having some fun.’k ASA Changes Name, Nominations Action The ASA overhauled their politi cal party at a meeting yesterday, changing the organization’s name and setting up a new procedure to Ugh! Which Way To Rosenblatt's PORTLAND, Jan. 12— (AP)-A Modoc Indian escaped from a hos pital today while undergoing treat ment and walked several blocks with only a newspaper for cloth ing before police took him in hand. The Indian, identified by police as Silas Hutchison from the Klam ath reservation, had become ill at the bus station and was taken to St. Vincent’s hospital. While being treated he broke away, climbed out of a window and dropped 25 feet to the ground. When he left the hospital window he was unclothed, but he found a newspaper and wrapped it around himself. His appearance halted traffic at W. Burnside street at 23rd avenue. He was returned to the hospital. nominate candidates. "Associated Greek Students” was the name unanimously cho sen to replace “Affiliated Students Association.” ASA, the party be lieved, was too easily confused with the names of other campus po litical organizations. Mo Thomas, “AGS” president, was empowered to appoint a five man nominating committee to rec ommend candidates for campus of fices. Further nominations for the party’s endorsement will be ac cepted from the floor, with the present voting system, by houses, used for the final selection. Jack Lansdale, Sigma Nu, will head the new committee. Other members are Ben Barton, Pi Kap pa Alpha; Elvin Hale, Delta Tau Delta; Barbara Vowels, Kappa Kappa Gamma; and Jeanne Swift, Gamma Phi Beta. The committee will select their recommendations from lists turned in by AGS rep resentatives. The next meeting will be held at 4 p.m. Friday at the Pi Beta Phi house to select candidates for freshman offices. Toil Spoiled by Soft Lights Hank heard a moan from the last booth on the left. Being late for his nine o’clock, he didn’t want to get involved in a beer-hall ses sion, but maybe somebody needed help. A figure was slumped down in the corner of the booth. Some bot tles clattered off the table as Hank reached across to turn on the wall lamp. Holy cow! It’s Slinger—old Bull Slinger. Two red eyes rolled up in his direction. “Hi,” he said. The head continued on its orbit and fell over on the other shoulder. “Don’t ever have a house dance,” Bull said. “Have a seat. I wanna say one thing: If you gotta dance, do it vicariously at the ballet,—but no house dance 1” Bull’s arm was shaking so hare he couldn’t put the bottle in his mouth, so Hank steadied it while he drank. - i “I remember his very words t( | this day,” Bull continued, trying t( ; focus his eyes on a package of cig arettes. “The house president said at the meeting that anybody that takes more than twelve hours this term does so at his own risk. He says we need everybody’s help in decorating for a house dance, es pecially those who can coast on last term’s GPA. Bull was really shaking now. Hank arrived in time. In another hour, he’d be trying to pull the painted duck off the wall. “Did you ever study geogra phy?” he asked. “Well we’re go ing to put our house on the map, and I was the guy that was go ing to do it; old ‘Decorating Committee’ Bull Slinger. We were going to turn that chateau up side-down. They wouldn’t even be able to recognize the exterior. Even figured we'd get a spread in the Sunday supplements.” • j Bull was trying to carve his i j initials on a bottle. He turned tc the blurred image on his right and sort of half-smiled: “You wouldn't be interested in this. It’s too tragic.” “Go ahead, Bull,” Hank urged, “but let’s get out of here. We’re disturbing the pinochle players. Maybe some fresh air will pep us up.” Bull bounced from booth to booth making his way down the aisle, mumbling as he went. “We had work committees, and committees to see that the work committees worked,” he gasped, trying to keep his bal ance on the icy pavement. “We really decorated. One last con tingent was formed to decorate the decorations. We built false fronts, sunken gardens, put to gether costumes that made the I originals look fake, stripped the j war surplus stores of their fight ing equipment . . . what didn't we (Please turn to po'jc ciyht) n Figures otal 5651 Upperclasses Show Increase Sophomore, Frosh Slack Off as Vets Progress A slow return to pre war en rollment figures was seen in the latest breakdown of registra tion.
