THE BATTALION
R.V. FESTIVITIES
BEST OF SEASON
Many Visitors Present for Annual
Celebration.
Those who were lucky enough to
stay on the campus this last week
end witnessed one of the best R. V.
celebrations that has ever been held.
Many of the State’s prettiest girls
were here and with the full moon
and three nights of dancing and the
Virginians to play there was nothing
lacking to make a perfect week-end.
The festivities were opened on
Thursday evening with the Queen’s
Ball and the crowning of the queen,
Miss Helen Colglazier, by the king,
Allen Monger. The R. V. Banquet was
PAT MURPHY AT COLLEGE.
(New Student Service)
Pat Murphy is personna grata at
the University of Arkansas. In fact
there are rumors that the fraternity
brother who introduced him to the so
ciety of the campus has suffered
mightily from the swinging barrel
staves.
Pat Murphy registered at the Uni
versity in February. His Cadillac, golf
sticks and pet bull dog soon won him
seductive advancements in the big fra
ternities. They floundered after Pat
a local correspondent to the Kansas
City Star wrote, “like depot taxi driv
ers after a lame man with heavy
grips.” And of course addresses of
local bootleggers were showered upon
him.
A few days ago twenty-five stran
gers arrived in Fayetteville and pounc
ed upon eighteen bootleggers. They
were taken before a United States

the ball game on Friday afternoon Commission. A crew of abashed young

dancing between courses and speech
es by Dr. Walton and Col. Turner. The
toastmaster, “Preacher” Durst, reign
ed and fun was not lacking. The girls
favors of boudoir dolls made the fem
inine hearts miss a beat at the pleas-
collegians were also present.
“What do we do with these pa
pers?” the students asked.
“Those are witness subpoenas. That
means you testify against these fel
lows who have been selling liquor to
you college boys. A bad gang they are.
Eighteen of ’em. We missed some. The

the R. V. Hop Friday night started
the night that was really the best of
all because everyone was just getting
acquainted good and the spirit of the
dance held forth in all its glory.
The R. V. drill was held on the
baseball field Saturday evening at
8 o’clock. The Corps Dance started
at 9:30 and everyone enjoyed it after
having made the two formal dances.
Some of the dancers looked more like
Toreadors than cadets with their many
colored sashes. As Home Sweet Home
was being played it saw many a weary
foot but still more sad hearts because
it had marked the end of a gay sea
son that would be no more for an
other year.
Under the law of England a man
may marry his son’s mother-in-law
or his deceased wife’s sister; but he
can marry neither his aunt by mar
riage nor his niece by marriage, let
alone his wife’s mother.

Here one of the students interrupted
with:
“Look, there’s old Murph over there
writing on a typewriter. Hey Miurph!
Hey, Pat! Wonder what he’s doing
here ?”
“Murphy, eh? Pat Murphy? one of
the prohibition agents drawled. Boys,
that’s Wallace from Louisville—prohi
bition agent de luxe. De Luxe with
a capital letter is what I mean.”
CANTON, N. Y.,—More than 250
students of Lawrence university here
have signed a petition protesting the
action of the town board in prohibit
ing the showing of Sunday movies.
The petition demands that the matter
be referred to a vote of the people,
those circulating the petitions believ
ing that the voters will abrogate the
board’s decision. If the board prohib
its such a vote, the town will be forc
ed to continue without Sunday picture
performances.
