Some 400 of them stormed the Student Union building where the football team was about to eat a steak dinner. The football players were smeared with non-kissed lipstick and so was Prall when he tried to stop the girls. "I had no idea the thing would turn out so big," he said. Meanwhile, Mrs. Golda P. Wickham, associate director of student affairs, said the girls taking part in the uprising would have to pay for damages to the Student Union dining room and to two fraternity houses which also were attacked.
