Campus Cleanup
Delta Zeta and Philadelphia
house are the winners of this
year's all campus cleanup which
was followed by the traditional
terrace dance.
Lewis Blue was awarded the
Alphi Phi Omega award for the
outstanding freshman man at
the dance.
These cleanup winners were
presented with two new trophies
donated by the John Warren
Hardware store. Second prize for
the cleanup went to Alpha Phi
and Sigma Nu. Delta Gamma and
Delta Tau Delta were awarded
third place honors.
A new system for the clean
up was inaugurated this year
which was highly successful ac
cording to Bud Hinkson, chair
man of Junior W^j*kend. Each
living organization sent five rep
resentatives for the cleanup
rather than the whole group with
successful results.
W. W. Weed of the physical
plant and a judge for the event
stated "There was more activity
and hard work than I have ever
seen.” Other judges foy the clean
up were Mrs. T. F. Mundle and
Mrs. Sara Henderson.
