(he hor«e’s mouth—the horse in
tins ease being Jack Soenlofsky,
last year's St' hoard chairman,
wlio with B «h McCracken, one
lime president of A(iS, and a
third party ”8111” have admit
ted the theft of a numlier of
fraternity trophies last spring.
By JACK SOCOMM’SKY
as told to
Bobbye Harris
Kmernld Feature Writer
One morning last spring term
the Phi Dolts, Sigma Chis, and
the Pi Kappa Alphas awoke to
discover the disappearance of
some of the most cherished pos
sessions of any fraternity their
trophies and in the case of the
Sigma Chis, their big cross of
ever-honored memory.
Perfect- crime Told
Events leading up to what was
undoubtedly the perfect crime
can now be related since the per
sons responsible have been grad
uated, and under the University
of Oregon statute of limitations,
graduation means relative free
dom from capture.
Perhaps this cannot be consid
ered a perfect crime since the de
sire to tell our guarded secret has
finally overpowered us.
I think the initial blame for the
entire episode can be placed upon
the Phi Delts themselves, for had
they promptly given us the fried
egg sandwiches they promised us
on that fatal eve, we would never
have had to look to trophy steal
ing to keep us busy.
Asked for Sandwiches
We had been askeS to the Phi
Delt house for fried egg sand
wiches that night and since one
of our group was a rather heavy
eater, we were the first to arrive
at the house. There were three of
us, two leg men and Bill, who
drove the car.
Quickly we selected trophies
from the Phi Delt house and car
ri>*<l them over to the Pi Kappa
Aloha house by way of Chi
Omega and Kappa Kappa Gam
ma We took the crest from the
Pi Kappa Alpha house and gave
It to the Pioneer Father.
We then took the big snow
whlte-for-purity cross from the
Sigma Chi house and presented
it to the Pioneer Mothers who al
ways wanted to be n Sweetheart
of Sigma Chi. and had not been
able to understand why they had
overlooked her up to that time.
This all took quite a little
bustling and my chubby accom
I'ltce, the rather heavy eater, wa-s
quite out of breath which came
in short gasps between giggles.
Iteturn for Sandwiches
Work completed, the three of
us shook on a job well done and
returned to the Phi Pelt house for
the fried egg sandwiches, which.
I might add were about done by
this time.
The next afternoon Rice (Em
erald editor of last year) public
servant soon to attack the evil
AGS, carried the story on the
front page of the Emerald and
pledged a crusade to stop trophy
stealing and advocated trophy
cases as standard equipment.
We sympathized with the presi
dents of the victim fraternities
explaining that we too had been
bothered “With similiar crimes in
our own houses.
No one else paid too much at
tention to the incident except of
course, the Sigma Chis who had
lost the very bulwark of their
organization.
File Stays Open
The file, however, remained
open. I guess the Pi Kappa Al
phas decided the Phi Delt tro-1
phies were a pretty good deal and '
looked better above their fire-:
places than above the Phi Delts.
Anyways, they were missing for
a long time.
The Pioneer father gave up the
Pi Kappa Alpha crest, but the
Pioneer mother will always be
the Sweetheart of Sigma Chi and
any other gathering that need
"sweethearts" to make a go of it.
