Boys on the Hill Scored Another
Hit Monday Evening.
Fraternity stunts Were Marked by
Much Originality and Were CIcv-
crly Carried Out--Phi Detn
Theta the winners.

\ crowd OF over 800 people. who |
seemed content TO do anything from
perchlng at high altitude on the
/ running track to stretching I'm an en-
deavor to peer over five rows Of ladies'
hats in Nh attempt to sec. filled tho
university gymnasium Monday night,
when the annual 'kake kalk" was
held. Tho winners OF the large cake
and the cup were the members of the
Phi Delta Theta fraternity and they
triumphed over a list Of stunts which
for artistic design and originality
have never been surpassed. The OBJ
jectionable features of most "kake
walks" such as the long waits and
general confusion. were, nearly done
away with last night. owing to the
untirinE efforts of those in charge to
whom great credit Is due. Not a num-
Der Jagged ana only the minimum Of
time needed for the staging OF a stunt
vas consumed The stunts carefully
kept away from the timo-worn jokes
ana everything sprung was new ana
original. The college band is also
deserving OF mention for the good
brand OF music put up by them. The
college ought to be proud of.
The walking for tho cake by couples
was not neglected either and although
the Judges announced that they had
no difficulty in picking the winners.
II was hard for the audience to decide
which of the seven couples would
come in ahead. The cake was won
! by Burragc and Dow.
