Duke Fletcher, known from his melting eyes
and sharply chiseled features as "Debutante,s
Delight" groaned and pulled himself out of the
CHAIR One Of the men perched on the arm
promptly slid into his place.
Brothers we're sitting pretty with II GOOD
men sewed up and another on the fence-that,s
Sawtelle Strawbridge, the crewman. We're not
engaged in any unseemly rivalry here, brothers.
but If We don't fight back he'll sign up with
those dirty buns down the street THEY'RE
giving him big, heavy rush and singing mud
about us right and left"
Brother Grammateus." A languid arm sig
nailed the chair
Brother Sowerby"
Before We let ourselves get worked I'M about
tne people down the street I suggest we decide
what is to be done about Brother Groben."
everybody started talking and then yelling at
That pillow jockey"
"A real wheat, that bird"
THAT shirt"
"That. haircut"
Hes got the real spirit of Beta XII and
there's nothing he wouldn't do for the old frat
the fratl"
gavel and. yells of Order! Order!" BROUGHT
. comparative quiet
Listen here, brothers. know Croben,s n
thug but he's brother, and I'm not going to
have him put on the pan in meeting. Besides
we've got some regular business to transact
Brother Epistates-"
Before Epistates could begin his report there
was an imperious call from the floor. Brother
Grammateus!"
Brother Sowerby"
Dana Sowerby arose and surveyed his brothers
with slight tinge Of superiority. With his
long thin legs and long, thin nose he called to
mind red-headed stork. Dana returned to
the subject of his former question
without seeming to criticize our esteemed
brother from Mu, may ask what we are going
to do about him tomorrow night? He is coming
over to help rush Sawtelle Strawbridge. YOU
know"
why not just tell him to clear out2" a
sophomore suggested
I'VE can't do thing like that" protested
Grammateus.
May I offer a solution?"
Lets have 1t, Dana"
It's very slnsple. Brother Groben has done
Duke the honor of falling for his girl. So Duke
takes him out there tomorrow night and that
keeps him away from here"
Dukes protests were drowned in a chorus of
delighted cheers but finally he made himself
heard.
That's a hot idea. Sic him on your girl.
Dana. Why don't you?"
Il would in minute, but it wouldn't work
you? Afraid of competition from an ape like
that?"
mo. you fool. that's just it. What would
rate with Nellie If took that bruiser out
there? can't do thing like that"
where's your fraternity spirit?"
yeah, for dear old Beta XII" added some
one else. Everybody laughed but Duke He
was up tree, which Dana proceeded to cut
from under him.
do you want the Pi Rios to have the laugh
on US? You're hne washout Of . Rushing
Committee"
"Al right, all right" Duke knew when 30
give up.
Meeting adjourned after one more feeble at
tempt to get the regular business done and
Dana and Beanie descended upon the victim.
Better call her up right now and be sure she
doesn't make another date" they urged
What's the big idea? It's O'Clock in the
morning
'You know darn well shell be up." Duke
was escorted to the phone room
This is terrible thing you're making me
do" he was still protesting as he picked I'D
cobblestone from under the wall phone Glumly
he took off the receiver and called number.
:, Five cents. please" came over the line
