From the martialing spot <»n Agate street. hel\ind Hayward fiehl, 16 truckloads of evert type noisemaker imaginable hooted and handed along the parade route which led past the judging stand at the SI', and wound up at the giant bonfire m ar \ el s d> irI:» Betas, I’i I’hln Win Top honors wore given by judges Herman Cohen and Glen Smeed to the combined efforts of Beta Theta Pi and Hi Beta Phi. Second prize was awarded Kappa Kappa Gamma and Sigma Phi Kpsilon. Third spot was taken by Sigma Kapp.i and Phi Kappa Psi. Honorable mention went to both the Kappa Sigma-Hendricks Hill, and Delta Gamma-Alpha Tau Omega entries. A steady rain drenched the whole parade, and participants and spectators alike were bundled against the weather. The last vestiges of the week's snowfall were washed down rain-swollen gutters, but. a handful of high school and University students at the judging area managed to save some, which they packed into snowballs and pelted parade participants with. Air Kaid Siren Dominates Loudest by far was the win ning Beta-Pi Phi noise float. Eight "Indians" beat in rhythm on a battery of old hot water tanks. But. their efforts were almost inaudible under the shat tering moan of a war surplus air raid siren, liven newsmen and officials, their ears stopped with cotton, winced when in the full blast of the giant noisemakor. Second spot winners Kappa Kappa Gamma and Sigma Phi Epsilon had probably the most diversified assortment of noise makers. Their entry spotted acetylene cannon, a wood-fed boiler which threw out smoke and sparks in Jaudible quantity, two gas-powered compressors, bells, air horns, a steamboat whistle, and an eight man band, including a banjo player who soon quit in frustration. Following this impressive array was a small black English Austin j automboile, its puny horn tooting flitily. Compressors, Whistle Combined The third place entry of Sigma Kappa and Phi Kappa Psi fea tured two compressors, a locomo tive whistle, assorted screech whistles and a pneumatic drill. Honorable mention winner Hendricks Hall and Kappa Sig ma featured ambulance sirens, banging saw blades, and a card section which alternately spelled out “Win Webfoots,” and "Beat Beavers.” Railroad flares and long kero sene torches were in profusion throughout the parade. Nearly every marcher and riding partici pant. in. the Alpha Chi Omega Phi Delta Theta entry sported a flaming torch that made the group, from a distance, look not unlike a Ku Klux Klan outing. Bring Equipment from Salem Evidence of ingenuity Hiiif ef fort upon the part of the par ticipants was seen throughout the parade. Air compressors were brought from as far away as Salem for the parade. The Sherry J Ross-Gamma and Omega hails entry was built about two ship fog horns reported imported for the occasion from Seattle. The} Chi O-Chi Psi float included a homemade set of screech whistles operating under 00 pounds air pressure. Marching under guard before the Sigma Chi-Alpha Phi unit was a newly bald, green-painted OSC captive, reportedly appre hended in a futile arson attempt on the bonfire. Football coach Len Casanova and the five senior members of the ball squad were introduced.

Complicating Factors Millet listed six major factors complicating thp North African situation, including nationalism, religious differences, racial fric tions, and the clash of economic interests. Many ask tis, he said, "why don't you go away like the Brit ish did in India?" But, he an swered, nearly 10 per cent of the people in North Africa are French. It is their home. French reforms, Millet .-aid, have been extensive, “but the rhythm has been too slow." This he also attributed to French “die-hard" elements living in North Africa. We realize, he con tinued, that colonialism is as “dead as a doornail.” In a question period, moderate'! by Gordon Wright, head of the history department, Millet -aid in response to a question, that North African problems are just some of the many problems France has faced since the end of World War II.
