hear Louis Panico and his "laughing trumpet" had
two pleasant surprises to add zest to the evening.
One was the presentation of the new Husker Pep
Queen, the other the announcement of Homecoming
decorations winners.
Bob Aden, Innocents president, announced that
Phi Delta Theta had been awarded first prize by
the committee of judges among fraternities and
Alpha Chi Omega rated first among sororities.

Judges were Terry Townsend, Rev. Harold Gotnell,
R. J. Ernest! of Miller & Paine, and Joe Miller of
the Andrew-Newens advertising agency.
The Phi Delts' buzz-saw not only whipped
through the tiger shown above, but made a loud
buzzing noise. Alpha Chi Omega's Cornhusker Sher
lock tracked the Missouri Tiger down the front of
the house. Delta Gamma, winners last year, won
second among sororities with their circus display
and Sigma Alpha Epsilon second among fraterni
ties with a billboard display.
