I lotnecotning l»it Kugonc and environs with the impact of a
C'la-s II atom bomb Friday night. And the similarity was more
than casual.
Air horns, sirens, clanging gongs, hells, ami saw blades
mingled with the deafening; roar of acetylene cannon anti air
hammer-do hla t the night apart as the L'niyer.-ity of < Iret'oti's
annual Homecoming noise para<le screamed its way around
the campus.
From the martialing spot <»n Agate street. hel\ind Hayward

hooted and handed along the parade route which led past the
judging stand at the SI', and wound up at the giant bonfire

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

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

“dead as a doornail.”
