Rush Display Explodes
Injuring Girl at Linfield
MCMINNVILLE-(AHi-A home
made flare at a Linfield college
fraternity house exploded Fri
day night, putting a girl in a
hospital with serious injuries and
hurting three other persons in
cluding the head of the chemistry
department.
Delores Reeder, 21, freshman
from Springfield, was taken to
a Portland hospital which re
ported that full extent of her
injuries had not been deter
mined at noon Saturday. Pieces
of a shattered pipe pierced her
back.
The flare, in the rear lawn
of the Delta Psi Delta house,
was made of a weed killing chem
ical and sugar, in an iron pipe.
Students reported testing it
twice earlier in the day for
safety.
Lighted as part of a pre-rush
ing party display, it began to
burn, then suddenly exploded,
hurling pieces of the pipe
through the group watching
nearby.
Hurt, but not enough to be hos
pitalized, were Luther Taylor,
college chemistry department
head who is adviser to the fra
ternity; Lorraine Anderson,
freshman from West Seattle; and

|-Fyou drive -for -the sheer zest of it
you owe yourself
this hour!
If your hands rejoice in the pre
cise balance of a fine gun or the
sweet response of a racing sloop
then you owe yourself an hour with
the Chevrolet Corvette.
You’ll find it is, quite literally, like no
other car in the world—a heart-lifting blend
of the true sports car with all that is best
in American engineering.
There is the velvet smoothness of a
Powerglide automatic transmission (but
with the classic floor selector-lever).
The trouble-free durability of a Chev
rolet “Blue-Flame” engine (but with three
side draft carburetors to unleash its flash
ing 150 horsepower).
The ruggedness of an X-braced box
girder frame (but with the astonishing im
pact resistance of a glass-fiber-and-plastic
body).
Luxurious seating for driver and passen
ger in deep foam rubber (but cradled in
the traditional security of bucket seats).
Generous luggage room, the panoramic
sweep of a deeply curved windshield, the
flair of tomorrow’s styling (but within the
polo-pony compactness of a real road car).
The Corvette blends all this and more.
For it is a driver's car ... a low-slung
torpedo with a center of gravity only 18
inches above the concrete . . . with outrig
ger rear springs that make it hold to the
road like a stripe of paint . . . with a 16 to

frankly, the Corvette is a "limited edi

whom driving is not just transportation but
an exhilarating adventure, a sparkling chal

of these, then you owe yourself an hour
with a Chevrolet Corvette.

you can discover that motoring has a
