W Bio's Yes KIcosIqi?
"Who's yer Hoosier?" may be a novel-sounding rally
slogan, but the novelty can't be compared to that of the
results this slogan will bring at tonight's rally.
Each house on campus will be on hand with an exhi
bition of what its members have decided is a Hoosier.
Will it be beast or man? Plant or animal? 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!

experience Gabriel Nahas brings
to his WSSF work. Following the
fall of France, Nahas organized a
clandestine paper edited and
printed by students of his native
city, Toulouse.
In 1943, wanted by the Ger

for an underground railroad to
carry British pilots shot down in
France over the Spanish frontier.
As a result of this all student ef
fort, hundreds of pilots were
saved. Such men and activities
