Flash Cards
Bring Back
Old Tradition
"Flash" cards used during half-
time of tomorrow's game herald
the revival of one of the most col
orful game traditions of the unl
versity's Homecoming celebration
After the presentation of last
year's pep queen by Chancellor
C. S. Eoucher during the half-time
intermission of the game, most of
the students will use the flash
cards for the first time during
their university career.
Plans Announced.
Plans for the card drill have
been announced by Art Beindorff,
cheerleader in charge of the card
section. As students enter the
student section of the stadium
they will find a set of colored
cards in the slot directly below
each seat. These are for use in
the card stunts.
Stapled to one of the cards will
be a small tally card telling which
color card that particular student
must hold up for each "flash."
Beindorff stated that all stu
dents should have their cards out,
unfolded and in proper order for
the stunts after the presentation
of last year s pep queen.
The cards are 28 by 24 Inches.
When the card is flashed, it
Should be held directly in front of
the student s face with the 28 inch
