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

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.

"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
