signed to find a man who best represents
the average man of America, Adolph
Menjou and Jack Qakie, in the roles of
two clever advertising agents, gain con-
trol of him and use the poor innocent as
a guide to public taste in everything
from hat bands to cigarettes, Manufac-

the future,
The climax arrives when Haley is
subjected to a fake war scare to sce if

finally, (yos, finally), worked; a good
crowd turned out, and wo still made mon-

(Remombor previous attompts?)
In passing, wo heard one clovor

about the mascot, Joe Milnite whose

We might add that it was quite a no-lots of practice in taking them, Thero~

JANUARY 13, 198°
Prolude to a Stomp
It was a cool, crisp winter
evening and the moon hung low casting
silvery shadovs over the campus,
Youthful cowoles shouted gay greetings
to each other as they arrived in small
sports roaisters, The lighted windows
of the large brick building sent out
friendly invitations to enter and be
merry, Inside there were many young
people gliding gracefully to the
rhythm of the world-famous orchestra,
The decorations blended in perfect har-
mony with the soft blue lighting--the
Sweater Stomp!
A sharp, northerly wind played
havoc with the campus and caused more
than one girl to clutch frantically at
her wind-blown coiffure, Wet,
bedraggled, couples shouted noisily at
each other as they piled out of their
small 1931 sports roadsters, The tall
brick buildings cast long eerie
shadows across the campus and there
was much pushing and shoving before
everyone was safely indoors. Inside,
a mob was swinging and shuffling to the
blaring noise of a hot jazz band from
a cheap nickelodeon. The decorations
were hardly noticeable because of the
heavy, blue, smoke-laden room-—the
Sweater Stomp!
