Does It Talk?
Rally and See!
It isn't a dance it isn't a con
vocation it isn't a banquet but
it's in the Union ballroom at 7:15
tonight. And what is it? The big
mystery rally for the South Da
kota game.
Promising thrills and surprises,
the cheerleaders have been
tongue-tied on the subject of this
rally. All the information that
could be forced from Art Bein
dorf f. cheerleader, was that "We're
staying right there and not going
any place this time."
Rumor, Rumor
One of the rumors circulating
about the rally is that the Corn
Cob pledges will be presented to
the student body.
Keeping mum on the subject,
the cheerleaders chorus: "You can
believe it or not but the best way
to find out is to come to the
rally!"
