Carton Broderick Jr. in Shirley Jenkin's bathing suit or Elmer Sprague bedecked with an "Innocent" floral horseshoe? Members of you-know-what brandishing Carrie Nation hatchets or Mortar Boards carrying lanterns in search for the model Junior woman? Who will be awarded the trophy o ftrophies for revealing the identity of the Hoosier? Be there tonight as a witness to those weird and ludicrous presentations which will be judged by men of the football squad and athletic department. The rally is to be held on the lot directly east of the Union, and will begin promptly at 7 p. m. so that everyone can get back to the books (it says here) for those Friday exams. And remember, you co-op, dorm, fraternity and sorority people, the success of this rally depends on you, so come out tonight, and bring a Hoosier with you!
